>> DUBLIN, Texas - Another day, another bizarre world record for Jackie
>> Bibby, the "Texas Snake Man." Bibby spent about 45 minutes in a
>> see-through bathtub with 87 rattlesnakes Monday, fully clothed,
>> shattering his own record by 12 snakes just in time for Guinness World
>> Records Day, which is Thursday. A Guinness official certified the
>> record.

>> The snakes crawled under his arms, between his legs and anywhere else

>>
>> "They can go wherever they want as long as they don't start biting,"
>> Bibby said. "The key to not biting is for me to stay still. Rapid
>> movement scares a rattlesnake. If you move real slow and gentle, that
>> doesn't seem to bother them."
>>
>> Bibby sat in the dry tub with a pillow behind him, wearing regular
>> clothing. The snakes were not defanged and still contained their
>> venom, he said.
>>
>> The clear bathtub was specially made several years ago for Bibby by
>> the Guinness folks for a televised segment. He has used it for
>> subsequent attempts at the record for sitting in a tub with snakes.
>>
>> "I have set several world records in that bathtub," Bibby said.
>>
>> The record was Bibby's latest grab at glory. Last year he set a
>> Guinness-certified record by holding 10 rattlesnakes by their tails in
>> his mouth at once. He said he hopes to break that record Tuesday by
>> squeezing in an 11th.
>>
>> The Texas Snake Man also claims to hold non-sanctioned records for
>> climbing into a sleeping bag head first with 20 rattlesnakes and going
>> in feet first with 112.
>>
>> Dublin is about 120 miles southwest of Dallas.
