I agree with the anti-venom research. You need to make sure that you have access to it 24 hours a day. And your local hospitals usually will only stock local snake anti. Also make sure whichever hospital you would like to be treated at has a doctor that will know how to treat a venomous snake bite and you should write down standard operating procedures in case of a bite. Dependent upon the snake you may not be competent to help with your treatment. Just some things to think about.

Thanks
