I watched a show the other night where they were taking all types of snakes and milking them for their venom to use for making antivenom, etc. The two they showed being milked were a coral snake, and some type of cobra, which they said were two of the most poisioness snakes they had in that facility. You'd figure they'd have some really careful, safe way to do it, but their common practice was to get the snake out of it's enclosure with a hook, lay it on the milking table, and depending on the size, and strike speed of the snake they would either just reach down really quick and grab it, or hold the head with a special tool and then grab it. Said the one guy doing the milking had been bitten by many of the snakes they had, at lease once, in the years he had been there. Personally I think he was just crazy and the first bite did something to make it worse......but then again for the kind of money they got for the venom, it just might be a worthwhile business for someone so inclined, or should I say crazy enough, to do it.
