History of North American Crotalid Snakebite Antidoteshttp://www.snakebitenews.com/html/history.html Antivenin Crotalidae Polyvalent (Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, Inc.) was the first modern snakebite treatment. It was manufactured from horse serum and contained protective substances capable of neutralizing the toxic effects of venoms of crotalids (pit vipers) including rattlesnakes, copperhead and cottonmouth moccasins. It was available beginning in the early 1950s. Wyeth has since discontinued production of this antivenom. In October 2000, the first new snakebite treatment in 50 years was approved. CroFab® Crotalidae Polyvalent Immune Fab (Ovine) is indicated for the management of patients with minimal or moderate North American crotalid envenomation. The term crotalid is used to describe the Crotalinae subfamily (formerly known as Crotalidae) of venomous snakes, which includes rattlesnakes, copperheads and cottonmouths/water moccasins. Early use of CroFab® (within 6 hours of snakebite) is advised to prevent clinical deterioration and the occurrence of systemic coagulation abnormalities. The most common adverse events reported in clinical studies were mild or moderate reactions involving the skin and appendages (primarily urticaria, rash or pruritus), which occurred in 14 out of 42 patients. Three patients experienced a serious adverse event. Two patients had a severe allergic reaction (severe hives and a severe rash and pruritus) following treatment. One patient had a recurrent coagulopathy due to envenomation, which required re-hospitalization and additional antivenin administration. In clinical trials, recurrent coagulopathy (the return of a coagulation abnormality after it has been successfully treated with antivenin), characterized by decreased fibrinogen, decreased platelets and elevated prothrombin time, occurred in approximately half of the patients studied. Recurrent coagulopathy may persist for one to two weeks or more. One patient discontinued CroFab® therapy due to an allergic reaction. Patients with allergies to papain, chymopapain, other papaya extracts or the pineapple enzyme bromelain may also be at risk for an allergic reaction to CroFab®.

What does it mean when you see two white snakes twist locking in a dream or mating?
The exact meanings depend on what you take the symbols to mean. In symbolism, snakes can refer to both sexuality and healing. Whiteness can symbolize purity, sterility, and/or healing. In the context of mating, this could symbolize safe and hygienic sex. In the context of healing, this could represent complete recovery.
The caduceus is a symbol used to represent modern medicine. It is comprised of intertwined snakes on a pole. The origin of this symbol seems to come from an account in the Bible where God cursed people with sickness and they would be healed if they only looked at a serpent on a stick. So the imagery of that story is used to depict the medical profession.

No - it indicates how many times it has shed. Each time a rattlesnake sheds its skin, it leaves behind an extra 'button' on its rattle. Since young snakes can shed three or four times a year - it's not an indication of age.
How can you get a pet cornsnake without your parents knowing?
Don't even think about it ! WHEN it is discovered by your parents - one of two things will happen. They will either force you to return it to the pet shop or wherever you got it from - or - (much worse) they may kill it - which is cruel to the snake - and will be your fault !
Remember - your parents pay the bills in your house - you have to abide by their rules ! If they refuse to allow you to keep a snake in their house - that's their decision - you have to abide by it !
