The snakes, bugs and lizards were kept alive by feeding on their master's lifeless flesh. In a stroke of irony, Mark ensured the survival of his pets while engineering his own death. It would be two weeks before his rotting stench brought the French police to his door. In his delirium, he released his gruesome menagerie of pets. Mark foolishly chose to ride out his condition. His body was now in a free fall of failing health. Within an hour of been bit, Mark began experiencing all the symptoms associated with a black widow bite, starting with severe stomach pains. Mark thought he could do the same thing, so one fateful day, he lowered his arm into Elvira's home and took her best shot.

Snake handlers are often bit so many times, they built up an immunity.

And he longed to get closer to his tiny femme fatale. Mark so loved his black widow spider he gave it a name: Elvira. These creatures were his consick companions, several were deadly and not to be take lightly.īut it was his fascination for the smallest of his friends that led to his ultimate demise. Mark made a migger living dealing snakes, lizards and insects on a shady black market for exotic pets. Vogal was a classic recluse, preferring the creepy and the crawly over his fellow man. This death should be filed under "What In God's Name Was He Thinking?".
