Larry,

Well, this now makes for two (2) against Bothrops spp., and until at least two (2) more people recommend it, I have taken it off of my list...yes, I literally have a text document on my desktop listing the suggested first hots, heh, in order as most highly recommended starting with Agkistrodon contortrix sspp..

Conclusion: NO Bothrops!

>>I've only heard of one Urutu bite to a keeper (2004) and it was fatal in spite of fairly prompt medical care. Her family contend that that was largely because of being incorrectly treated with Cro-Fab...

>>The only Bothrops I have personal experience with is B. atrox, but from what I've heard from others and read about them, I would not recommend any Bothrops for a beginner.
