venom production questions
Hi all,
I was wondering how fast rattle snakes produce venom and how much they use on a prey item. I ask this because i had an Idea about feild herping and finding a venomous snake. the idea is if I bring a rat or two with me and happen to find a rattler and get it to strike the rat (using tongs or the like so i am far away from the snake) would it have enough venom left to tag me with (assuming i even want to try and pick it up which is still a long way off if ever at all) it was just an idea for a safety precaution and was wondering it anyone knew if it would be effective at all.
