I was watching your episode on Russel's Pit vipers in Shri Lanka. Something occurred to me while watching the show. There was a moment on the show when your team was nervous about running into a wild elephant. I don't know if the vipers fangs are tough enough to penetrate the elephant's hide, especially near the foot. It is quite possible that the elephants in the area are carrying some natural antibodies against the Ressel's Viper venom. These wild elephants must get bitten all the time. Even if their hide is too thick around the foot, it probably isn't higher up. Wouldn't it be interesting if you took some blood from a local elephant, and some of the venom, mixxed them and the blood didn't clot? In fact, someone should look at the blood of all indigineous life in the area. Nothing would please me more if this observation helped the people in Shri Lanka deal with this problem. Please let me know if anything turns up. I can be reached at quadrivium@comcast.net.

mark, I live in southern california,and enjoy catching,releasing and learning about reptiles.I have been hearing about californias rattlesnake antivenom shortage and want to help. I have caught and milked rattlesnakes without injury to me or the snake because of my high respect for all living things.If you could take the time to give me any suggestions I would appriciate it.I know you probably here this all the time, but if you ever need a sidekick that is just as crazy and good at catching reptiles as you, im ready to go.

Hi there: I am moving to an area that has A LOT of rattle snakes. Especially this year because we have had a little rain. All my neighbors and pretty much everyone I know kill them. I do not want to kill them but I also don't want them roaming the house or property. I have a four year old, etc. I have a boa and have handled snakes for about 20 years however, I have not handled venomous snakes. I was thinking of getting a hook and a hot box and relocating them. Is it wise and is there a safe way to relocate these rattlers should I come across them on my property. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
