You sure there are only three leucistic cottonmouths? I seen a guy selling a few babies several years ago, and it wasn't even his first season breeding them.

did they say what the other venom lab that is open to the public is? i know the kentucky reptile zoo is open up for the public to see venom extraction.

Carl and Denisse at the Medtoxin Venom Lab are great people. We took a tour of their facility a couple of years ago when the education program was only a dream and we were very impressed. Just the business side of the lab is facinating and then to see some snakes I've only heard about was fantastic.

Since it's only 20-25 miles west of Daytona, I bet Carl would welcome anyone who wanted to come over (assuming he is not flying - he is a commercial pilot) before, during or after the show. Maybe we could get him to give a private showing to the BP.net crew. :banana:

i believe Reptile World,also here in central fla is open to the public,and they do milkings there as well

i love that gaboon :) :)
