I have to admit — I'm more than a little curious about the life of a snakemaster so I set out to track down the star of Animal Planet's new program, Austin Stevens: Snakemaster. Okay, actually, I just placed a phone call. In any case, Austin Stevens answered the questions I just needed to have answered about snakes, close calls, and how do you think about f-stops when a venomous snake is spitting at you. Have a listen to the conversation.
