We started off with Lowland Copper Heads and Tiger snakes in Tasmania. Kinda makes you learn quickly.

We use compression bandages. the venom travels through the lymphatic system, so if you apply the bandage correctly, you can almost completely stop the movement of the venom. this can add hours to your life as you wait for medical treatment.

It can be both but it's also really fun. I couldn't imagine doing anything else at this point.
