    Bibby spent 45 minutes in a bathtub with 87 rattlers in the West Central Texas town of Dublin, which shattered his own record by 12 snakes.

    "They can go wherever they want as long as they don't start biting," Bibby said. "The key to not biting is for me to stay still. Rapid movement scares a rattlesnake. If you move real slow and gentle, that doesn't seem to bother them."

    The record was certified by a Guinness official.

    In 2006, Bibby set a Guinness-certified record by holding 10 rattlers by their tails in his mouth at once.

    He also claims to hold uncertified records for climbing into a sleeping bag head first with 20 rattlesnakes and going in feet first with 112.

    Bibby confessed that the reason why he did these is that he wants to be famous. "I do it for the attention. I like being on television," he said.
