Well done!
All these things apply.
I don't want to change the subject but a alternative
method I have found to survive mojave bites or
other snakes is inocculation.
The human body can if given enough time produce its own antibodys to counteract the deadly effects.
Reducing the effects overall.
IF you keep a deadly reptile and are envenomated.
Are you prepared have you done every thing to
survive .
Nothing is more serious than this.
Giving the body a way to fight the venom ahead of
time means less damage.
and less trips to the hospital.
Yes its true

I believe he is refering to controlled self envenomation to allow your body to produce antibodies against the particular venom you use. It is commonly assossiated with bill hast. I have also seen a natural geographic special on a clan in thialand that uses a simular technique.

I enjoyed reading your comments on keeping venomous
snakes. I have always held certain fasination with snakes, venmous snakes esp. Keeping one personnally has never been an oppsition since I have children and now grandchildren. Certainly all of the pitfalls have been the other reasons I have never entered into that realm, but if I ever had considered it your article certainly would have "talked me out of it" I recently ordered and received ( after about 4 months) a book written about snake envenomation , all of the pictures in this book would no doubt scare the shit out of most people even thinking about keeping these snakes.
Just wanted to tell you I enjoyed reading what you offered, Thanks carol

I found the article very informative and interesting. I am 17 years old and have been working with(collecting, photographing, observing) herps for the better part of my life now. For the last eight years I have occasionally kept venomous snakes along with other non-venomous herps. For the last 1 1/2 year I have continously kept a dusky pigmy rattler. He has thrived the entire time. After reading the article and thought a while on some of its ideas, I have finally decided to move him out of the house. I will continue keeping him, but he will be moved to the nature park where I am employeed on the weekends. There we keep a wide variety of native herps(including venomous). Over the period of time that I have kept the snake I have build up a type of relationship with the individual so I will see to it that he continous to thrive. Once again, this article has changed my views on housing venomous herps at home. Thank you. Robert

What a wonderfully informative article. I have been working with hot herps for only ten years, no candle to the experience some of you guys have...you have touched up on every aspect of housing venomous reptiles. The caution that must be excercised cannot be stressed enough. I only keep one Crotalus atrox now, and he's enough for the time being. If I were still living close to a largely populated city...I would not really consider it. James

This has long been a process done for horses. But you are correct about Bill Hast, he is the founder of the Miami Surpentariam. Mike
