“…142/13. The snakes were physically restrained by placing a hook near the distal third of the head, and then grabbing the region of the animal's temporomandibular joints with the other hand to keep the animal's mouth open (WILKINSON, 2014). The secretion in the oral cavity of each snake was then collected by swabbing around each snake fang sheath with a sterile alginate cotton swab and submitted to microbiological examination.…”

Due to its various structures in bio-compounds, snake venom is the indisputable result of evolutionary stages of molecules with an increasingly complex structure, high specificity, and of great importance for medicine because of their potential. The present study proposed an underpinning examination of venom composition from nine species of venomous snakes using a useful and replicable methodology. The objective was the extension of the evaluation of protein fractions in the field up to 230 kDa to permit possible identification of some fractions that are insufficiently studied. The gel capillary electrophoresis method on the chip was performed using an Agilent 2100 bioassay with the 80 and 230-LabChip Protein kits. Interpretation of electrophoresis was performed using the Protein 2100 expert (Agilent) test software as follows: a)

“…When one third part of the snake's body was entering into the tube, the snake and the tube then grasped for manual hand fixation. It is important to estimate the proper size for tubing for safe restraint and to make sure the snake cannot turn around inside the tube (Lock 2008;Wilkinson 2014). Radiography: The mass was inspected at the caudal part of the body (dorsal and lateral to the cloaca and the base of the tail.…”

Abscess removal in a desert horned viper (Cerastes cerastes)

et al. 2020

Venomous snakes are widely kept in captive as collections by private reptile keepers. A 7 years old male desert horned viper (Cerastes cerastes) was presented with a lump on the caudal part of the body. Proper physical restraining method using snake hook and transparent tubes was performed for clinical examination and radiography. Two radiography views revealed radiopaque in both lateral and dorsal recumbence. Differential diagnosis was tumor growth and abscess. Surgical intervention was indicated and performed with the viper induced with injectable anesthesia and maintained with gas anesthesia. Surgical correction with manually removing the abscess was performed. The NSAID, broad spectrum antibiotic, topical antibiotic and fluid therapy were performed post-surgery. Six weeks post-surgery the suture material was removed and wound was dry and healed well.
