Everyone has at some stage thought about or even kept venomous snakes. Be it an indigenous species or an exotic species, the fact of the matter is, there will always be a risk involved of getting bitten.
We hope to be able to help you with data regarding different types of venom and venomous snake bites. This should assist you, or a friend or relative, to be able to find up to date information regarding treatment in the event you get bitten.
We will include the most commonly kept venomous snakes in South Africa, as well as the not so common snakes which do become available on the market from time to time.
You will be able to share experiences with everyone regarding a bite which you have received, and what steps were followed by the Medical Practitioners.
Please do not use this section to discuss venomous snakes, unless it is relevant, and please no photos unless relevant.
Hope you find this new forum helpful.
