Extraction of antivenom in snakes is a well established procedure - the snakes is made to bite an elastic glass lid and the venom gets squirted out into the flask.

If there is anitvenom available, how is it extracted?

If not what's how are people rescued from stings and bites of venomous animals like blue ringed octopuses, stone fishes, Inrukandji Jellyfish and so on

I know most of the venomous animals in this planet - The box jellyfish,the portugese man of war,the blue ringer octopus,spiders,puffer fish,stone fish,etc,etc but all of them have neurotoxic venom that is venom that attacks the nervous system.I have heard about another type of venom - the haemotoxic venom,which attacks on the blood vessels.Vipers have this type of venom.Apart from snakes,id there any other species that has this speciality

Do all snakes rattle like a rattle snake?

my cornsnake, fluffy is 18mnths old and always been very docile and as loving as a snake can be. ( i also have a baby 1 chardonay)

but last night as i moved his branch i think i startled him, then i left him but hes been hissing and strinking at me now and i dont know why,

i left him in the dasrk 4 a while 2 calm down but hes never ever coiled up so high like he did, hes not fed inside his tank and the little one is in a seperate tank.

i love my snake dearly and am quite upset that hes behaved like this, should i see a vet???

I'm in Queensland Australia and have a couple of small snakes round the property...aside from a mongoose, which are not native to Oz, how do I get rid of them???

I had this dream where i was walking down the street and there were small patches of 3 leaf clovers everywhere and was trying to find a 4 leaf clover..

Then my uncle comes out of nowhere and we start seeing snakes..and they were literally everywhere!

There were snakes hiding in bushes, some in trees, some in the street, it was really scary.

What can this dream mean?

im in class and i need this one fast!!!!!(;
