Friend got bitten by Albino WD Rattler *graphic picture warning*
My friend owns a Reptile store and got bitten by the resident Albino Western Diamondback Rattlesnake over a week ago.
My friend is highly experienced, but even accidents can happen to the most experienced.
He went through around 18 units of antivenin before the hospital released him. He's expected to make a full recovery without any loss of limb.
1:00pm - 2 Hours after the bite:

Thanks for sharing, glad to see he'll be ok. Yet another reason why i plan on never owning a deadly hot...
I agree.
And I can't trust myself with a hot. I feel like if I owned one, I would be in the hospital constantly.... >_<
