Tri-Color Hognose Venom

JoshMolone Dec 15, 2007 11:53 PM

Has anyone done any research on a Tri-Colored Hogsnose's venom? Ive heard they were potenally dangreous. Anyone else heard that? If you have information of a website or person who knows about their venom, please tell me.

Thanks

I am not aware of any formal research that has been conducted on the Tri-Color venom, there has barely been any research on Heterdon sp. Check out Bryan Greg Fry's website.
