>>I noticed on your web-site that you said that fea's and wagler's vipers venoms are similar. How would you rate their toxicity and what would they compare to?

>>Thanks in advance

Hi mate,



We haven't compared the actions of the two (yet) but relatively speaking neither is as toxic as many other species and Fea's also give smallish venom yields for a viper. Thus, it appears that neither is likely to be lethal in normal bites but this is not to say lethal bites can't occur. Further to this, an effective antivenom doesn't exist for either one which of course complicates things somewhat.



Cheers
