US hospitals not being equipped to treat King Cobra bites of all things actually makes total sense. Like, how many hospitals in this country do we having stocking up on...*King Cobra* anti venom just in case?
Surprised that the guy in FL bitten by a Cobra was even able to be properly treated here with the correct Cobra anti venom in time.
Also, what TF makes someone want to handle exotic highly venomous snakes? NUTS

It’s Florida, they probably have things most states never heard of because of the stuff those hospitals have seen.

Pretty common practice for most of the serious collectors/handlers have their own stock of antivenom. At least enough to get started while the medical facility sources more.

I'm not sure about Cobras, but a Dr. in Dallas (as well as something I saw on Nat Geo maybe) said they use the same anti-venom for all species of pit vipers.
Cobra stuff may be similar enough to use as well.
