You quoted Dr. Fry above, I believe i will ask Him. He has answered questions in past for Me. If he is away, I am sure I can find something. There are many knowledgable people on many forums, when it comes to hots. Thanks again

Actually there have been LD-50 values established for Atheris specifically Atheris squamiger at 5mg/kg.

Vinny, and I mean this with your best intersts in mind - quit while you are behind.

i do beleve dr. Fry is at home now. because he just e-mailed me about a week ago. but with his work you never know what part of the world he is in. and on his fourms he asked my to tell everything about my envenomations. and i never got 1 since put down. i guess i can see now which is the better fourm. or should i say more professional

That quote posted from the news article refreshed my memory. I have to search but if I'm not mistaken-
Vinny,the person that sold you the snake, Did you sue him? I remember the article somewhere on the BOI.

Vinny - if you want people to understand what you are saying (or rather typing) perhaps you should give pause before commiting your thoughts to the forums here. You stated that there were no LD-50 values known for Atheris as a whole (re-read your post).

The problem is not that you come off as big-headed or arrogant, quite the opposite, you actually present yourself as being relatively ignorant.

And I didn't mean that you should quit in general, but you are clearly not furthering your cause by continuing to contribute to this topic. My point was that you should walk away from this discussion with whatever modicum of respect you have left in the eyes of my fellow Fauna members.

here is what Dr. Bryan Fry wrote back to me after tellin him about my C. Adamanteus envenomation


Hi mate

Sorry to hear about your bite. Sounds like a nasty one. From what you've described, sounds like the venom had a fair concentration of neurotoxins similar to mojavetoxins. Neurotoxins in Crotalus are grossly underappreciated. All Crotalus, and all pitviper and most viper, venoms have neurotoxins in them to one extent or another. They are normally not one of the dominant components and are usually over-looked clinically.

Did you recieve antivenom? If so, its important that the doctor gives you a ten day prescription for predinisolone. This is a corticosteroid that helps prevent serum sickness, a delayed reaction to the antivenom that can produce very uncomfortable flu-like symptoms such as achy joints and nausea.

All the best
Bryan
