I stand by my above comment..i believe the question was asking for snakes named after "a position the body can assume"
 
The tail is part of the posture, but the sound it makes isn't. JMO
 
Haha.. the best i could do is one sentence and 9 pages of pics.
 
Ok Puffers, Rattlers & spitting Cobra's is incorrect.

I'll be happy to lose 1/2 a point off my score for rattlers
along with southy's 1.5 points for rattlers & bonus point
& junglemads 1 point for rattlers & puffers :p
 
OK. You all can't get me clear answer, so poor me Knowing only Slatemans Englisch opened dictionary mof english language. (N.G.Garmonsway)

Stating this:

POSTURE.....Manner of holding the body,attitude,pose,

On that bacis I am ruling out spiting and ratling. Puffing the body I concider as pose, so I will leave puff as corect answer.
Anyway people don't get to exited, we talking only about .5 point here.

I hope that nobody get upset with me, I had to rule something out. :oops:
 
im not too worried the final 4 or 5 get a shot at the winning question don't they??
 
I asked only for Main reason why hospital staff wait before they actually treat the bite from venomous snake

This main reason is: hospital staff wait before they treat a bite from a venomous snake with antivenom is to make sure an envenomation has occurred so that antivenom does not have to be given if there is no need and risk the possible side effects of serum sickness


Robbo
my answer to question 22 is
the main reason why hospital staff wait before they treat a bite from a venomous snake with antivenom is to make sure an envenomation has occurred so that antivenom does not have to be given if there is no need and risk the possible side effects of serum sickness

By JandC_Reptiles.
Hospital staff wait before treating venomous snake bites in order to see what symptons occur in the patient. This way they can determin what species may be responsible and give the appropriate anti-venom treatment.


junglemad
The reason that medical staff wait before they actually treat a venomous snakebite are many. Some bites may be what is called a dry bite where no venom was injected. Some bites may only be a scratch. Some bites may not be a hit from both fangs.Some snakes inject more venom than others, for example an old or sick snake may not inject as much venom as a vital younger specimen. Also this varies from species to species

The main reason I suppose is that patients may have an adverse reaction to snakebite treatment. This is why medical staff observe patients carefully before aggressive treatment. Some people may have an allergic reaction to antivenin, particularly treatments made from injecting a horse. People allergic to horse products may go into anaphylactic shock. This too is rare but not worth the risk on a bite that may not be serious. People who have been treated with antivenin in the past will more than likely be sensitive to horse products for life. Hospitals need to administer a skin test to establish those sensitive and indeed hyper sensitive to antivenin.

Snake bites need to be treated on an individual basis. Signs like pain, swelling and bleeding, along with more complicated reactions such as ecchymosis , necrosis , low blood pressure, and tingling of lips and tongue are symptoms that show the seriousness of a snakebite. Patients exhibiting these symptoms are treated promptly.

Southy
they wait to make sure they don't treat a victim that had a dry bite as that can invenomate them, they also swob the area and do tests to make sure that the snake that bit them, that they get the correct antivenom from the correct snake to treat them
