Animal expert plans 10-day Vegas stay with snakes

[February 04, 2010]  LAS VEGAS (AP) -- An expert in deadly animals is planning to stay for 10 days inside a box full of snakes at a Las Vegas Strip casino as part of a reality television show.

Donald Schultz will enter the clear glass box outside O'Sheas Casino on Sunday, starting with 50 snakes inside. Plans call for five new snakes to be added to the box each day until there are 100 snakes -- including cobras, pythons and rattlesnakes.

The stunt will be filmed for Animal Planet's "Wild Recon" series.
