David Jones of Sussex, England, has spent four months in the 16-by-13-foot enclosure at the Chameleon Village Reptile Conservation Park in Johannesburg with two black mambas, two green mambas, three snouted cobras, seven boomslangs and 27 puff adders, The Sun reported Tuesday.
Jones, who beat previous record holder Natie Swart of South Africa, said he has not yet been bitten by any of the snakes, but he had a few "close shaves."
The snake enthusiast said he plans to leave the enclosure next week, after staying a total 121 days.
