I have a question Mason

are you looking at buying your own AV??

or are you literally finding out the name of the stuff

when bitting (if) you can go hospital - call up liverpool or london and say

you dont by it yourself its well expensive, plus illegal to administer as well as dangerous if you dont know exactly what your doing, and have correct monitering equipment.

no i'd never buy my own, in the wrong hands it can be as dangerous as the venom it's supposed to combat. Not to mention prohibitively expensive.

I just wanted to know the AV for my own piece of mind and for my bite protocol, I prefer to give the species name alongside the AV suggested for bites from that species if any exsists.

A mate at the School Of Tropical Medicine had some bloke ring up tryin to buy Poly A/V yesterday, for his 'coming soon Schleg's' wasn't you was it Mase?

Moshpit your perfectly right, they can get RI's and just tend to thrive with a supplemented circulation via fans etc.

Mason, get my MSN off Sami later

Hahaha not guilty!

Seriously though it's as sure away to end up in a world of crap than getting bitten is messing with AV.

Clever isn't the word mate, they will get used to your tank maintenance cycles, and position themselves wherever gives the best vantage point but still gives maximum cover to conceal themselves in, never go into the viv/cube/tub without knowin exactly where they are and forget about strike range, they will chuck emselves literally at you
