Sounds like you had a good day, that's great and kept your "no bite" streak going too.
I know what you mean about the creeps that don't know what a garbage can is for. We get it all the time up where we go boating:(

First I will say I know nothing on this subject. The ERs use venom to make antivenom? I would think they would buy anitvenom from a drug company, not do it themselves. So they buy from anybody? Or do you have to have certain licenses or classes? Not so much asking about the snake handling side, as much as thinking sertile conditions and such.

I have a long family line of collecting venom for Loma Linda er in California u need a fishing license to monitor reptiles and I'm in lake elsinore by the oc so any time u quant to go herping its on. The main thing with the venom is to keep it clean a drug company would try to make the antivinom instead of getting the venom witch is need for antivenom plus Loma Linda has a venom er u prolly have seen it the show venom er on animal planet is the Loma Linda er

I'm a real big anti-trash/litter freak. When I watch the old westerns on cable it really bugs me how they just toss their trash all over the place.

Do you take garbage bags with you and clean up the area?
