I was just watching Wild Recon on Animal Planet with Donald Schultz, and he stumbled across a Berg Adder in Southern Africa. I was wondering why after collecting a sample from the Berg Adder, the snake died soon after? Does anyone know why milking for venom would prove to be fatal for this species or possibly other species of snakes?
