If memory serves me, Perkins had two gaboon bites. I recently found my copy of a paper Clifford Pope wrote on Schmidt's fatal boomslang bite. I could scan it and share it anyone's interested. you can send email to donalford at asefh dot com.

Perkins had two? I read about one very dramatic incident in Ditmars Venomous Snakes; don't suppose you know of an account of the other?

I tried to find the cite for the two gabby bites and could not. So I assume I was in error.

Louis Poras did a study on FWC venom and published it but most people want to ignore his findings for some reason. He equated a bite from an adult to be equivalant to an atrox bite! Of course the delivery is quite the same. I have a hard copy of this article but not a digital for those interested I can cite the source.

Marlin was bitten once by a Gaboon. There is a long story about using cobra antivenom and Wyeth to save him.

Yeah, I saw Nigel get seriously chewed by that 1M FWC... I was surprised he just let it go... I don't let any snake chew on me, since I read F. Russells account of a serious envenoming by a San Francisco Garter Snake on a young boy.
I think "Nit wit" is a good call...

Thanks for the spelling lesson, Al.
Nit-wit is a great word for folks like Nigel with the FWC chewing on him.
I like using that word, but have spelled it wrong for years. Because you pointed it out, it is likely that I will remember how to spell it correctly next time, which is good. I do not know what it is, but I like to add extra letters to words.
Best Regards
John Z
