The October 2006 all-venomous issue was awesome. I immediately read the gaboon viper article. Good stuff. Not many people know that the late Marlin Perkins was bitten by a gaboon viper in 1928 (according to Reptile Life, vol.1, issue 6). Only one fang penetrated his index finger. At the time, there wasn’t any gaboon viper antivenom in existence. He received four doses of antivenom: two rattlesnake, one cobra and one fer-de-lance. He experienced hemotoxic and neurotoxic symptoms: pain, difficulty breathing, extreme swelling of his arm, bloody urine and loss of consciousness. Mr.Perkins almost died, but pulled through and stayed hospitalized about 25 days.
At the time he was the curator of the St. Louis Zoo’s reptile house and was treating the snake that bit him for parasites. As curator, he surely had a lot of experience and respect for his charges, and he still got bit.
