RE: HOW TO ACCURATELY IDENTIFY A COPPERHEAD SNAKE

in #howto8 years ago

Does USA milk snakes for anti venom? In the northern Australia they keep them in a large arena and collect and milk them every monthish. The venom is treated and held to treat accidental bites from their less friendly snakes.

Sort:  

Last I knew they still did that.

In Australia the collector gets well paid, is it the same in the USA?

Hmmm.... New career opportunity for Papa maybe?

The guy in Darwin Australia had a full time job cleaning snakes out of my daughters house. The good ones he would milk and add to his collection. He was making a livving out of it.

There are rattlesnake rustlers. I believe they are periodically needed in Texas. Here... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rattlesnake+rustlers

Have you been to Texas?
