The reptile community hates them, but "snake sit-ins" are all the rage these days. "The Guiness Book of World Records" gave the fad the smack-down it deserves, however:
From AOL News:

Wilcox... said Guinness wants to discourage future attempts like this.

"Snakes are solitary animals, and we've been advised to not encourage Guinness World Records record attempts where they are forced to live together for long periods of time as there is a possibility of opportunistic cannibalism depending on the species," she said. "Our animal expert has also advised against exposing such animals to human presence for long periods of time."

Jones said that Guinness told him they haven't acknowledged any previous sit-ins and have no interest in adding the category.

The only snake-related record they accept is "most snakes in a bathtub with a person." Hey, a two for one -- Guiness and the Darwin Award with one stupid stunt!
