sorry to bring this up but its to help thats all.
its too late to save james but its still not to late to save others in the snake hobby.
Learn how to prevent anaphalaxis!

even if you do not keep the apropriate antivenoms
you can and must have a anti-anaphalaxis kit.
epi-pens,and oral anti hystimines should be in it.

also if you are at a risk of snake bite and have had previous exposure to snake venom.
A immunization regimen can prevent severe reactions.
talk to a immunologist about it.

I have been bitten hundreds of times and have went into anaphalactic shock twice!
no big deal since I was PREPARED!

you must be ready ahead of the expoure so you can treat it fast.
you have sometimes only a few min to counter act the a/shock.

So learn from james's mistakes so you can prevent another death.
