There is no antivenin specifically used to treat Atheris bites. Sometimes Echis AV may be used (depending on many factors, it may or MAY NOT be effective, it is basically a crapshoot), but for all practical purposes, there is no "effective" AV for squams or any other Atheris species.

There is AV available for schlegelii bites (Costa Rican poly), and overall bites from these guys would likely be easier (relatively speaking ) to treat than squams.
