A snake handler who cheated death after being badly bitten by a snake is now teaching Australians how to
36 in the case．Neville-Burns has been bitten twelve times during his long work with snakes, and uses all his
37 to give lectures to people at risk of meeting a snake
38 .
Australia is home to most of the world's most deadly snakes．So Neville
39 the people how to deal with such close unexpected meetings．．He sets up an enclosed area, and one by one, brings out four snakes so people can know the
40 of each snake．First out of the bag is a Red Black Snake．He
41 put his finger on it．That's
42 the entire forefinger on his right hand was
43 after he was bitten．But that wasn't his
44 experience．-When he was 18? a Brown Snake he had been holding by the tail
45 and bit him in the face．He was rushed to
46 and he was saved from death．
He says a Cobra Snake is perhaps very
47 but not the most venomous（有毒的）． A black Manba Snake, one of the most
48 , is the longest venomous snake in the world．A Brown Snake is the final
49 at Neville's show．It is one of the most common snakes in Australia, and is the second most venomous in the world．Several times during the
50 it bits the bag; which Neville
51 in front of it．
Neville's advice is to stay
52 if a snake is nearby, as most will only
53 if they feel threatened．He tells people to be
54 but not to pick one 'up by the tail．He then does exactly that as part of his show．He also says he
55 believes in the old saying "once bitten, twice shy"．
