Hi all
Here is the link for the downloading of the first of the long awaited venom papers on 'colubrids'. This one covers an extensive array of 'colubrids' as well as weird elapids (including little studied Australian ones) and vipers (including Fea's).
Major implications of the paper are:
1. The venoms of the 'colubrids' are just as complex as that of the various elapids and vipers.
2. The toxins in the 'colubrids' are some of the same sorts as found in elapid in viper venoms (we even pulled out the typical cobra-style toxins from bloody ratsnakes).
3. This has the potential to seriously screw up the pet trade.
4. This does however reveal a vast venomous Serengeti for biomedical researchers.
Feel free to pass on to anyone you think might be interested.
Cheers
BGF

Hi Bryan,
Just finished reading the paper last night. Very interesting work, indeed with major potential implications. I am especially interested in seeing if this leads to the cleaning up and better organization of the Colubridae repository. I am going to read it a few more times to make sure that Igot itall.
Cheers,
Roger
