ANNISTON, Ala. (AP) - A plane carrying deadly snakes and other reptiles has delivered its cargo to the Anniston Museum of Natural History.

Its pilot, Clyde Peeling, says he has no fear of being aloft with the venomous reptiles. He says he knows to remain calm if any of the snakes gets loose.

Peeling is owner of Reptiland in Allenwood, Pa. He flew his Cherokee VII airplane to deliver the 19 reptiles to the Anniston museum, which is opening a new exhibit Saturdy. It's called "Reptiles: The Beautiful and the Deadly."
