You be real ode

A lot of people here doesn't even read to have proper understanding of his situation, you should read carefully before crucifying the man, he is not catching snakes for fun or to domesticate them, his likes are very vital to the society in Australia making environments safe

AkpaMgbor:

Plus he helps in milking the venoms from the snakes…it is because someone caught and milked the venom of such a snake made it possible for them to have antivenin to sustain his life right now. If someone didn’t take the risk there wouldn’t be antivenin to help him…you can never kill off all the snakes in a society, so it’s rather wiser to catch and milk them instead.

True.

uniquetechng:
No anti venom in any hospital in Nigeria.

Where do you live? Saying what you never knew. The world is closer than you thought.

Why do these people love to play with their lives. There is a reason why they are wild animals, but they always want to domesticate these animals.

BOSSkesh:
Care free attitude that makes someone to pick up a snake

decatalyst:
Messed with the snake and now he is fighting for his life.

These Oyinbo people like dangerous play.

Chai! It is his job, not adventure or carefree attitude or messing around. Every job comes with risks. Accidents happen while on the job. His stick broke this time around. Nigerian kids/youths with infinitesimal understanding of subject matter but big brain to be judgemental

How many he wants to carry? Each snake type has its unique anti venom. And it has to be preserved always until it is needed for use

I live in Lagos, and that's where I have lived for the past 48 years, my younger brother is a qualified doctor and when I said no Nigerian hospital has snake antivenom I know what I am saying.
If you think otherwise then prove me wrong, I am waiting......

I am not a doctor but I am surrounded with closed family members who are into different medical fields. A neighbor was bitten by a snake at late hour. Her husband called their family doctor who stabilized her before sending her husband back home to get pictures of the suspected snake they killed which eventually helped doctor to get the right drug. So bro stop assuming. In Lagos and Portharcourt, I know several private hospitals that people travel from Europe and America for medical appointments and are happy at the end of the day.

Being a snake Hunter means he has to be with anti venom always incase of emergency just like a first aid tool kit

I hate those creatures 😒

We're not talking about medical appointments, ask that your so called doctor if he has anti-venom in his hospital, you dont just dabbles into argument without the right information.
I said no hospital in Nigeria has anti-venom in their shelves and I expect you to prove me wrong with fact not telling me about people flying from Europe to Lagos or PH for medical appointments.
And if I may ask what are the names of the hopitals in Lagos and PH were Eiropeans come for medical appointments ?

Panda7:

He can't, that's my point. Different species of snakes need different anti venom, may be like hundreds of species. And it has to be refrigerated all the time. So, it is not practical

Logos hospitals maybe. Hospitals in Northern states where snakebite is prevalent should have antivenom

They don't have anti-venom in any northern hospital, a very small quantity cost from $40,000 upward and that's about 63m naira by current exchange rate.
You need different anti-venom for different snakes and it has to be refrigerated at all time.

So around $80K worth of antivenom was administered to the snake hunter in the op. That's on the steep side even for the civilised countries. A lot of I googled cost of antivenom in Nigeria and ot gave me N55k
You should

A vial of Crofab anti-venom for instance will set you back $3000 to $4000, anti-venom for rattlesnake and other highly poisonous snakes like black mamba cost more.
The people who are at risk of snake bites in Nigeria cannot afford the treatment that's why hospitals don't stock anti-venom here anymore.

That's y when ever i see those modaFuckA, i kill them immediately.....bt i still wonder y sum people keep this things as pet....
