Q: Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense rattlesnake serum. (USA)
A: Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca which is where YOU come from. All Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets, especially the Taipans.
Note - Australia’s inland Taipan snake is the world’s deadliest snake. The Taipan snake has a bite which is 50 times more toxic than a cobra’s.
