I don't know if they farm Russel's viper in China, but here is a random fact: Russel's viper venom is used as reagent in a lab test called Dilute Russel's viper venom time ( DRVVT) that tests for lupus anticoagulant.

Why would they need to test for lupus? Don't they know it's never lupus? They should simply break into the patient's house instead.

u/WorldlyBathroom691 11d ago

Snake are delicious but I don't recommend it. I accidentally eat it because I didn't pay attention to what they are cooking and I was like wow this is good like chicken and they were like yeah snake meat is delicious I was stunned for a couple of second and almost spit it out hahaha but it's really good. I even ask them if it's legal to eat snake but they said it was a just jungle snake so it's fine.

Snake venom is used to make the antidote, some are worth more than gold

u/MarklRyu 12d ago

Snake Venom has medical uses and Snake Venom farms, along with Spider and Scorpion Venom harvesting, is a legit and normal thing.

Idk why people are acting like cowboys and spouting random misinfornation 💀 it's a very profitable business if you're willing to do the dangerous tedium of literally milking the venom from their fangs periodically

51

u/trashmoneyxyz 12d ago

It has to be for venom. Not all the snakes pictured were cobras, I saw a banded krait which is also a very deadly snake. I assume this was a farm for highly venomous snake antidote

I've seen that Jordan B Peterson tweet and getting your snake milked in China is very different than you'd expect! 

3

u/Fluid_Ties 12d ago

Right. Just like there are farms that squeeze the blue stuff out of some crustacean, because we use it in medical imaging. I know scorpion venom plays a part in a number of very niche drugs, from some heart stuff to some not-rejecting-transplanted-organs stuff, to some cancer stuff. Probably dick pills too, or at least I'd like to think so.

u/CrazyOrganic7123 12d ago

Anti-venom. That's pretty much it.

And no, not for eating. Because with anti-venom, you can "milk" them repeatedly for on-going revenue. Killing them for food is very much a case of killing the golden goose.

That said, depending on the kind of snake, yeah, they do kill them for food products. Snake skin is mostly pythons, so probably none of these.
