I'd bet my last nickle that most private venomous snake owners don't have so much as a Poison Control Center phone number close at hand, let alone some current antivenom in stock. Wasn't too many years past that, within a few months, different people in Northern Alabama allowed a Gaboon Viper and some type Cobra to escape. Cobra was being retained inside a cardboard box. And how can anyone allow a slow moving (crawling, not striking) fat bodied, Gaboon Viper escape. Heck, you could almost tether these beasts and keep them retained. Reckon these folks had antivenom on hand. I'm betting......not. Wade's death was just an amazingly rare, unfortunate event. I suppose its happened before but, I've personally never heard of someone dying from anaphylatic shock from a snakebite. I wish he had had the foresight to have something like epipens on hand. Pandora's box is overturned now though.....hard to get those demons back inside. Tennessee herpers breaking state laws better be doing some serious soul searching.
