Well, Your right. It's MAIN purpose is to kill the prey.
If there was a medicine for such a thing, I would support it over the ductectomy, and removal of glands. But I do still say that safe handling of venomous reptiles can be learned. And even if it is a void, this
same safe handling should be put into practice.
O.T. Have you been to one of the "round ups"? They get a few bites every year it seems. These guys call themselves pro's. I've never seen so much careless handling of rattlers before I went to one in clearwater TX.
BTW, how do you do two quotes in one response? I've had need of that before. LOL
