I have heard that anti venom (for dogs) is extremely expensive, about $2000 per treatment. Do they use the venom from these snakes to manufacture anti venom, or how is it made?

The snakes are milked for their venom. How the stuff is made, I haven’t a clue. From time to time, I entertain the notion to go to the event. Then I regain my senses and decide to do something safer, like fly a kite in a thunderstorm.
