It's a pinner...they are using it to push every last drop of venom out, and also to stop it thrashing about. Those Gaboons are gigantic, like Death Adders on steroids times 10.

I've assisted in milking tigers, there is a Agkistrodon bilineatus at bredlis reptile park but your one up on me with the adders.
Anyhow its proberly for the best. SA has enough mad herpers running around the countryside scaring the livestock

Great pictures Brodie!
As you both say, an amazing experience, even if nothing comes of it in the future.
Good on you both for giving it a go.

Best of luck in the future.

Neil

Thanks guys,
Ricko:
All tubs have their own lids, for the smaller snakes they are just tupperware containers
