That's all you need.

I could link some papers, but I need to look them up since I got waaay too many PDFs on this computer.

By efficient delivery system is that they can't secrete venom or does a poor job of secreting them. Corn snakes are found to have venom glands, but they don't have a way to secrete the venom, thus making them technically natural venomoids. The same thing happened to Gophersnakes and Indigos as well I think.

Edit: It is more plausible to say all snakes or lizards in the venom clade has venom glands and the "non-venomous" lost their potency or efficiency through reduction. It wouldn't make sense to say that they gained venom since there are too many "harmless" that are proven to have venom glands.

I wonder what kind of glands boids have... I am looking forward to Fry working with them. Even though boids are declared non-venomous, no one actually truly studied them in depth.

I've seen that guy on tv a couple of times somewhere... lol

Cool site though, looks like some good stuff to read through when I have the time- cheers.

Also I imagine they still wouldn't be classed as venomous, as to be that, there would have to be a method to inject the venom- I think the definition is it would have to have venom and fangs, can't remember though.

Killer Instincts? Everyone seems to see the episode where Rob Bredl and Bryan Fry worked together.

Legally, no, but scientifically, they are.

ah yeah... reminds me I gotta get some of them on dvd... cool stuff on aussie pythons if I remember. Bet the box set doesn't have that one in it. Joe Bredl is his father isn't it.

Is he on anything else... 'cause I'm not sure if it was killer instincts.

I seen him somewhere else, but could never remember them.

Damn you Brits, you get more Rob Bredl DVDs than us. The only ones we have in NTSC format are three Killer Instincts DVDs: Crocodiles, Snakes and Sharks. We don't even get the Bare-Foot Man series in NTSC... .

Rob Bredl is so much better than Steve Irwin (RIP) in my opinion. I wouldn't even put Sir David Attenborough up there since he outclass all of the bush-boy documentaries.

lol. We gotta be educated. Found out Dr Fry did that sea snake documentary...

And Sir David... well, all I can say is... Life In Cold Blood- starts next monday Saved the best till last, it's going to be the balls. The book isn't too shabby either.
