Stan, I wonder if you might be remembering the 1961 book Snake Man: The Story of C.J.P. Ionides, by Alan Wykes. It's a great read, but I think Ionides wasn't entirely happy with its portrayal of him. Along with the 1950's TV show Ramar of the Jungle, that book was a major influence on my juvenile interest in Africa.

No, I don't think so. Pretty sure I read a reference to Ionides in another book. Probably one of Peter Capstick's. He wrote a fair amount about the poisonous snakes of Africa and Ionides was probably mentioned in some of those. I read all of Capstick's books.

My memory is not great, but Ionides is just a name I couldn't forget.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
