Crofab does not contain the specific Fab antibody for C. horridus, but given the relationship between horridus and other rattlers it will most like have some efficacy. Last I had heard (early fall 04) Crofab was running around $1500-2000 per box (2 vials) according to my friend at the AZ Poison and Drug Cntr. Storage is easy... on the shelf. Average treatments are between 6-12 vials for a C. atrox bit (in which Crofab has specific antibodies for). As far as where to look, I can't really help you there. Sorry.
