Given recent events I feel this video is more pertinent now than ever.

Yes! Excellent information, well delivered. Some keepers can be so hard-headed about the antivenom issue. It's not nearly as difficult or expensive to obtain as many are lead to believe. Glad to see you encouraging keepers to do the right thing.

fantstic video mate :)
interesting the difference over there regarding antivenin
Here is basically unobtainable to private people, even zoos i worked in only ever kept it for their exotic species
I know its abit different there seeing we can only keep natives, but still, anyone bitten by a sea snake, death adder or taipan in Victoria for instance will have to be treated with polyvalent

Is there an anti-venom available for Gila Monsters? I was under the impression that there was not any available. Thanks

How does one go about getting antivenin for themselves? As I understand it is regulated as a prescription drug. Ive heard you can get it but haven't found a clear path as of yet
