no, I don't watch the venom show. That venom doc guy gets on my nerves. Plus I think it makes the snakes look evil, when all they are doing is trying to protect themselves from a drunk yahoo.
What was special about this episode?

He locked himself in a cube in Vegas with 100 snakes. I'm not sure he makes the snakes look evil. I think he's just a shithead charging in and pissing them off. He did it to "raise awareness" for the need for anti-venom.

The lack of antivenin is a big problem in this country. None of the pharmaceutical companies want to make it anymore. Wyeth was the best but they discontinued it because it was too costly to make. Now all we are allowed to use in the US is CroFab which cost about $1200.00 a vial. Most treatments take somewhere between 10 and 40 vials. So it gets very expensive. Bioclon is made in Mexico and not approved by the FDA but it works just as well as CroFab and is one tenth the price, but we can't use it here in the US. Of course I am talking about Crotalid bites which are the only ones we have here. Once in a blue moon someone gets nailed by a coral snake, but it's not easy to get bit by one of those.
Most antivenin is made in other countries. This is a baby viper in the box the antivenom for it comes in.

One appears to be eating the tail of the other. Might be lizard foreplay, ha ha.
Hey SNAKE, check this out and tell me what you think. Saw this cute little guy on the front stoop of my townhouse this morning as I left to go to work. I think he's alive, but he didn't move when I stomped my foot and I didn't want to poke him because I'm not some stupid drunken redneck. Any idea what kind it is? (I'm in SC near the NC border, there's a berm with pines going up it behind the place if that helps.)

Yeah, I wasn't going to mess with him. He was just sunning anyhow, and so cute. Don't know if there are rats in the area, but I hope he catches and eats them.
