Bitten by a Venomous Snake - What Should I Do? - Ep. 216

Ep. 216 - Zoe and Jackson of The Anti Venom Support Group discuss their experience in dealing with snake bites and the anti-venom that comes along with it, covering both circumstances surrounding wild/native snake bites versus snakes in private collections. They both share details about the science of anti-venom, the shelf life, where it is made, and the expenses of obtaining anti-venom. Zoe and Jackson have also started their own center and support group that strives to assist venomous snake keepers in obtaining permits, the venom itself, and creating bite protocols to remain safe and keep these species of snakes responsibly. The two of them also share many myths about snake bites, the response to getting bit, and anti-venom, sharing the truth behind some of the fear. Zoe and Jackson also briefly discuss the animals they currently keep, where they were obtained, and how they got their start in reptiles and animals in general.
