i really hope this doesn't get out to the general public, the result would be nothing but bad for the snakes.

I also think that but really there is nothing to fear. The animals wich pose risk to us already have been declared dangerous. Plus ho knows what marvelous toxins may be waiting descovery in the lizard and snake venom that may be of some priceless use on human medicin? Realising that your life has just been saved by reptile venom may give you some new respect for them

sure there isn't anything to fear, but your average idiot is going to do is snake+venom= OMG i'm gunna die if i don't kill it. i've dealt with that all my life when dealing with people who're trying to kill kingsnakes and gopher snakes because it MIGHT be venomous.
