Let us know how herping in Israel goes; hopefully, the locals will stear you into the right direction. We seriously considered Bioclon but our insurance carrier preferred (strongly recommended....as in, "you will" that we purchase the CroFab because it is FDA approved in the U.S. I didn't want to burn any bridges with the folks who allow me to do what I do. For our foreign A/V's (SAIMR, etc.) that may not be FDA approved are still okay because there are no U.S. commercially available alternatives. Anyway, things get sticky when you are indirectly involved in the government.
The write up in Reptiles was nice and we are getting a lot of exposure in other reptile related magz/etc. If you are ever in the Chicago area let me know and I will give you the grand tour. Rob

>>Major congrats on your nice write up in the June issue of "Reptiles" "Rattlesnake exhibit opens in Illinois" I wish you great success with this effort.

>>As far as your A/V stocks for "domestic snakebite" you may want to consider stocking Mexican Bioclon Antivipmye Tri. It is reported to be BETTER and CHEAPER than Cro-fab. I can't say why I know this on the open forum but I have reasons, email me directly if you're interested. See link for A/V.
