Yes, thanks. This narrows down the field considerably. Feeding F/T has no direct affect on venom production and composition (as cited by your research). These animals do get "milked" regularly I assume. If I am not mistaken, this is kind of a "semi-passive process" for the snake which also allows the opportunity to replenish the supply. The next step that I am looking for is whether complete lack of use does anything. The process of eating solid food may not meet this criteria, which I can accept if proven.
But again, thanks.
