Jeff:

I would submit that you don't give just anyone the keys to the gun cabinet.

In the middle of rattlesnake country, my uncle found out the hard way that many if the hospitals do not stock antivenin, or at least do so seasonally.

He also found put that an area zoo was very reluctant to part with their stock. When they did, they agreed to part with 10 vials and he needed another 4 - which had to be flown in from a hospital in San Diego.

There is a good reason why nobody is giving the OP the info he wants. First, some antivenins for exotic species are not FDA approved and you need permits to legally purchase it. Second, you can fudge knowledge along the way with many species of snakes and in the end it's only the snake who suffers. With hots, you put yourself in a world of hurt.
