Lachesis muta serum is produced by Butantan Institute in Sao Paolo, Brazil. There is also a Bothrops anitvenom produced there as well which covers all species of Bothrops. Given that your refer to Trinidad specimens that may be your best choice. Institute Clodomiro Picado in San Jose, Costa Rica manuafactures polyvalent a/v for Lachesis stenophrys and Bothrops asper, but since the Trinidad aspers are somewhat different, and may be more closely related(or actually) Bothrops atrox, while the ICP antivenom would work, Butantan may be more effective (or maybe not). I don't have the contact info in front of me and it's been several years since I've gotten any from Clodomiro Picado, so I don't even know if the contacts are the same.

PS. Email me privately if you want the contact info for ICP.
