There are a few ways to rate the snakes. The drop-for-drop toxicity of the venom isn't the only factor, the amount injected must also be considered as much the predeliction for multiple strikes. On my webpage, I have an LD50 section which gives the relative toxicities but does not factor in the relative yeilds.

Hey Mate,
In your rear-fanged research, have you run Boiga blandingi venom through it's paces to see what you can see? I am curious due to the fact that people are constantly discussing venom strength in B. dendrophila, but rarely if ever do I see discussion on Blanding's boiga.
Can you shed a little light on when your research data will be published as well, if you please?
Sincerest thanks,
TomT

Hi mate
Tragically the two blandingii died in shipping (the airline froze an entire box of snakes!!). So, no results on that species. Plenty of results for other Boigas though, some of which were stupidly toxic (elapid levels).
I'll be uploading the first paper at the end of the week to make it available for public download (its finally come out in the journal). It'll blow your mind ;-)
Cheers
BGF
