SoulMus: I believe it is for commercial purpose. Apart from the skin, the venom are export for pharmaceutical use. Venom are very expensive, here are few examples: 1. Deathstalker scorpion Priced at $39 million per gallon Scientist are battling to create a device that will be used to extract the venom. Manually extracting the venom is dangerous. The price is high because to extract a gallon no matter how careful they try at least 3-5 person might have lose their lives in the process. 2. King cobra While it may be much cheaper than deathstalker venom, the king cobra variety still costs $153,000 per gallon. 3. Coral snake Despite being thin and pretty, the coral snake is lethal, armed with the second-strongest venom of any snake, after the black mamba. Coral snake venom is priced at over $4,000 per gram, 4. Brown snake In contrast to the coral snake, the Australian brown snake (Pseudonaja) is highly venomous and considered to be one of the world’s most dangerous snakes. Even juveniles can deliver a fatal dose to humans. On the market, one gram of the snake’s venom fetches about $4,000. 5. Bubbling Kassina toad Also called the Senegal running frog, this olive-colored amphibian has a defensive skin secretion. The noxious slime costs a whopping $1,600 per gram, inflated by its namesake ingredient, kassinin. Earmarked for research use, this valuable chemical plays a part in rapid gut-tissue contraction. 6. Funnel web spider One of the world’s most virulent spiders, the funnel web spider (Macrothele raveni) packs a venom that sells for $1,350 per gram. This fanged predator’s expensive emission may have anticancer properties and counter liver disease and obesity. The price tag is further justified by the venom’s potential capacity to combat pain, epilepsy and stroke. 7. Cone snail Despite its dainty aura, the cone snail is a tough customer that dispatches its prey by injecting a toxin with a permanently numbing effect. The toxin’s key agent, ziconotide, is featured in the severe chronic pain management drug Prialt, which is priced at about $800 per milliliter. Prialt is touted as 1,000 times more potent than morphine yet nonaddictive. Claims of this magnitude drive home the reason why venom farming is such a lucrative field. Poison’s flip side is profit. 1 Like |
