Former New York Knicks center Kevin Seraphin spent some time on  Monday hanging out where most don't dare.

Seraphin visited the Reptile Zoo in Fountain Valley, Calif, to get close to a few creepy crawley's, simply because he likes it.

Seraphin had pictures taken being wrapped up  by a giant snake, holding on to hairy spiders, and allowing scorpions to crawl on him.

He doesn't understand why most people are afraid of them, and says it's the movies produced in Hollywood that gives the creatures a bad reputation.

Seraphin remains alone in his chronicles to show people how friendly giant snakes and scorpions are.
