"Fitzsimons's deep interest in snakes, first stimulated in Natal, was continued throughout his life. At first he exhibited a few snakes in glass-fronted cases and these live exhibits were continued once the museum was established in Bird Street. In 1918 he founded a snake park which was the first in Africa and second in the world and in 1925 a larger and more elaborate park was constructed, the concept being entirely his. ... As an authority on the snakes of South Africa and their venoms he gained an international reputation and he did pioneer work on the production of anti-snakebite serum. His works include ... Snakes (1932), which in 1934 was published in German as Schlangen." - DSAB III, p. 299 Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
