It's a hospital in the US that gets a heap of rattlesnake bites through every week, and it follows the recovery of the patients.

Yeah, last one a guy who had a mouse problem in his house, thought it would be a good idea to keep a rattlesnake to get rid of them, he got nailed, ended up with compartment syndrom, they cut his up from wrist to shoulder to release the pressure. You didn't get to see the bloody bits though, just what it looked like after the op.

I watched the last episode and thought it was pretty interesting.
I will be watching all the snake shows tonight.

WOW. How good was Austin Stevens tonight. That King Cobra----14+ feet i think he said. Big ass Elapid he was LOL. And that Green Anaconda in the Northern Amazon was something pretty exciting to. What does everyone else think. I missed ven ER.

You missed an educational show but watched the comedy after it. I find Austins show funny once, but make me sick the second time.

i like venom er,but all americans seem to be "the only good snake is a deadsnake" type people.. austin stevens is a great herpetologist,he has done things most people can only dream of doing,i do see why people see his episodes as a comedy,with the "matric affects" and action type stunts,perhaps over dramatising the documentary,but to get people interested in conservation.. you have to be unique,when you get down to it.. he gets people watching.
It makes me laugh,austin makes documentarys for a living.. he travels around the world,experiencing so much wildlife,yet.. the average joe is the first to bag him out,man.. take a look at the big picture.. your on a reptile website.. hes probably pulling rattlers of a road in the middle of no where right now.

Well I totally didn't know that Mojave Rattlers had predominantly Neurotoxic venom! Thought they were Haemotoxic like most of the other Pit Vipers

Austin's shows are pathetic, over acted and over staged. I find it insulting to watch a show that over staged. Mark O'Shea is a herpetologist who does a great show promoting reptiles and their conservation, Austin is to buisy promoting himself, even though every snake in his show's are owned or caught by someone else.
