They have 2 fangs on each side? That is just evil.

Nope. The fangs are replaceable. New ones come in behind the old.

Vipers grow new fangs throughout their lives. Sometimes you'll see two on one or both sides when a new one is growing in, and the old one is still there.

Serious question,

does any medical facility in North America even stock King Cobra antivenom?

As far as Chandler, I'm not a huge fan of his videos because they're unnecessary and are the type of thing that is used as ammo when people are trying to make laws against owning venomous snakes. There's no need to make videos showing free handling of dangerous snakes.

I'm sure some do. I don't know the extent of which ones do. But, most keepers and all zoos have antivenom for the species they keep.

There’s a HERPS show this weekend that will be a hot show (venomous) at the Alario Center on the Westbank. They isually have Gaboons, Rhinos, Green Mambas, Monacled Cobras, albino Cobras, and the more common stuff like Rattlers, Copperheads, etc. It amazes me that you can just walk up and buy a Gaboon viper for $75.

Back in the ‘70s my uncle used to keep venomous, including cobras. He was bitten 3-4 times by venomous snakes (local ones, not the cobra) and once by a Gila Monster. He almost died from the lizard,
