In addition to plans, I hope you have a large pile of money. A good client base would be a plus as well. The venom is spun in a centrifuge & is lyophilized. Both the centrifuge & the freeze-drying equipment are big buck items. You will most likely need other lab equipment like microscopes. Your clients will not be wanting raw venom. Most will want certain portions of it, & you may well need to be able to separate out the fractions that they need. There's one gent in Florida who has a serpentarium & venom lab. The last time I spoke with him, he had enough of certain types of venom to keep his clients going for a couple of years..on hand frozen. Some types of snake venom are marketable, others may not be due to others in the trade having met the demand already. ~~Greg~~   RE: venom export Reply by SwampY on July 4, 2006 Mail this to a friend! Don't forget that in some states cobra venom is a controlled substance. Chad   RE: venom export Reply by BREEZER on July 4, 2006 Mail this to a friend! I think this is the second time you've asked this question! LoL   RE: venom export Reply by GREGLONGHURST on July 5, 2006 Mail this to a friend! Perhaps he will keep asking until he gets the answer he wants to hear..instead of the truth. ~~Greg~~   RE: venom export Reply by Phobos on July 5, 2006 Mail this to a friend! Also note that he has been keeping hots for only six months...his hospitaliztions and antivenom costs will cost 10's of thousands of dollars when he is bitten. Al   RE: venom export Reply by badla_hawa on July 5, 2006 Mail this to a friend! Thank you people for giving me so valuable advices & advises. Well, it is true that, I have been keeping hots only for a few months. But, I have people (who are willing to work with me) who are far more experienced in this field. That is why, I wanted to give it a try. The information you people have given me is very very helpful. I believe you people wont mind if I ask for help if needed. Thanks to all once again.     Page 1 of 1     Next Topic:   Keeping Pope's vipers Previous Topic:   black pakistan cobra Email Subscription You are not subscribed to this topic. Subscribe!
