Bobby Witcher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bobby Witcher (1916–1966) was an American herpetologist best known for his carefree handling of venomous snakes.
Born in Sweetwater, Texas in 1916, he was loved for his contagious enthusiasm for reptiles and amphibians.
Bobby collected in the field for many years and freely shared his knowledge of herpetology. Although he never published any articles, many of his discoveries and observations have been included in the works of others. Bobby died in 1966 from a cottonmouth bite in the swamps of the Mingo National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Missouri.
