Look how wee this lil African House Snake is! They are so tiny and adorable at the same time! Sometime we forget about the little species out there and they go underappreciated!

Antivenom in 6 Minutes

By Cindy Steinle · October 15, 2026

For those who remember The Venom Interviews, Ray Morgan is working on a new project, The Antivenom Interviews:The Global Snakebite Crisis and the Evolution of Treatment. Here is one of the videos he did promoting the project. Antivenom 101.

You can check out the project and donate at The Antivenom Interviews. I will be honest, I am one of the projects ambassadors and I did assist on some of the filming that will be used in the project. So I am pretty excited for the funds to be raised and the project to take off!
