It is great that you are a biological research major. The only problem is, you are still learning and not applying. Sorry but when it comes to information on snakes and venom, I am going with those who actually study the specifics on snakes and venoms.

The word toxic is a very broad brush stroke and can be applied to anything from snake venom to poison ivy.

Read and pay close attention to the words written by Dr Bryan Grieg Fry (Venomdoc) and Wolfgang Wuster (ww). They are the leading researchers in the field of reptile venom. Sorry Will, but you are way behind these two.
