Reptile & Amphibian Forums

It's been a while since I've been on the KS forums. So, I figured I'd drop some pics of my "volunteers" for my venom research that I am doing at the Metropolitan State College of Denver.

And some pics of a big male, ~48" in length, I pulled out of someone's yard after it bit their dog. Gave him a few days to heal at my place, after he was whacked by a shovel, before milking him and setting him loose.

Here he is when I got him home, all covered in blood. Thankfully, they didn't hurt him too bad with the shovel. Nothing a few days under a heat lamp couldn't fix.

Here he is being milked by me the day before he was set loose.

And here he is finally on a Sunday morning, being set loose out on the Eastern Plains, far away from anyone who might want to whack him with a shovel.

Hopefully he ends up siring a million little rattlers!

It's been a fun summer so far, milking all these Prairies. And each of those animals has a pretty good story to go with it. And I have a lot more to do before I have all the venom I need for my research. Yeah, I know, most researchers buy their venom. What can I say, I'm a double major in biology and chemistry, it can't all be benchwork, or it wouldn't be fun!

Good afternoon
I'm glad for you because you are doing research and you are studying at a good university.
Every good university should have students who do research like you. But it is difficult to study at a good university. Therefore, if you study at a good university, you need a help from the company -> EssayBison.com - this is a company that offers text writing services, tet writing for researches. A student who has received good grades deserves to study at a good university, for example, at this university where you are studying.
