Antivenin

CatDaddy Jul 17, 2007 05:49 PM

I am trying to find a source for Ophiophagus Hannah antivenin. Yes I know it will be expensive and yes I have kept venomous snakes for 20 years so I'm not a newbie. I have kept many Elapids but my local zoo no longer has any in their collection and no more antivenin, so I need to find a source for the King I am planning on getting. Thanks for your help.

If you are planning to buy/import, the only producer of king cobra a/v is the Thai Red Cross in Bangkok, Thailand.

cheers,

Thank you for the reply; I am unsure how one would go about acquiring antivenin from another country. If there is anyone who could bring me up to speed on the protocol I would appreciate it very much. My family MD will write a script for me if need be.

I'll call you with the info.

Thanks Randal. Where would I be without you, old buddy. Looking forward to the Expo in November in San Antonio, and seeing all the new friends I made in June. What size sizzle was that again?
