Not a witch
Vincent further disproved the common notion that snake handlers are witches or wizards.
Instead, he said his father would catch snakes, milk their venom, and present the reptile to tourists visiting Lake Baringo.
The poison harvested would be sold locally and internationally.

“It’s not witchcraft at all, because as a family, snakes were our main source of income. Our father traded with them and taught us to feed and domesticate snakes, ”Vincent said.
The deceased’s wife, Easter Ewoi, said they would not kill the animal. She added that they would continue to treat snakebite victims the same way as William did.
Honored by the National Museums of Kenya
William had been honored by the National Museums of Kenya. He has been described as a gifted freelance reptile collector.
