This list is for the discussion of issues related to venomous and dangerous reptiles as veterinary patients. Topics of discussion may include restraint techniques, species specific information on issues such as blood chemistry normal values and drug sensitivities, and anecdotal reports of cases from your practice. General discussions about venomous reptiles that do not focus on their veterinary care should be directed to other lists. This list is not intended for general hobbyist questions or discussions. Membership on this forum is restricted to people with a relevant professional affiliation, such as veterinarians and technicians, biologists, zookeepers, etc. Experienced commercial or private keepers, breeders and importers with valuable anecdotal information to contribute may also be invited.
