>>Back to venemous snakes, have you thought about Bothrops alternatus or the Urutu?

>>I am not sure if Cro-Fab would work with them but I don't see why it would'nt.

Danger Will Robinson!

I've only heard of one Urutu bite to a keeper (2004) and it was fatal in spite of fairly prompt medical care. Her family contend that that was largely because of being incorrectly treated with Cro-Fab...

The only Bothrops I have personal experience with is B. atrox, but from what I've heard from others and read about them, I would not recommend any Bothrops for a beginner.
