Abstract

Abstract


The results of this experiment indicate that large and heavy snakes provide more venom extract as compared to snakes of medium and small sizes and weight. The large sized snakes are tougher and remain healthy throughout experi­mental period as compared to snakes of lesser size and weight.
For the purpose of collection of crude venom for production of anti snake venom, large and heavy snakes are preferred. If properly maintained, these snakes would survive for at least 2-21/2 months under standard captive conditions.
After initial five weekly extraction of freshly caught snakes fortnightly subsequent extractions are proposed for obtaining reasonable quantity of venom extract(JPMA36:278, 1986).
