	Agkistrodon (bai hua she) \| acupuncturetoday.com
		Although agkistrodon is not an herb, it is nevertheless a vital component of herbal medicine.
		Agkistrodon is often used to treat conditions such as hemiplegia, muscle cramps and spasms, and seizures.
		The typical dose of agkistrodon is between 3 and 10 grams, taken with boiling water and drunk as a decoction.

	Protein derived from Agkistrodon saxatilis emelianov and process preparing the same - Patent 7033788
		The present inventors isolated Saxatilin from the venom of a Korean snake, Agkistrodon saxatilis emelianov and cloned cDNA encoding Saxatilin, a recombinant expression vector comprising the cDNA, and a recombinant microorganism transformed with the recombinant expression vector, and manufactured recombinant Saxatilin by culturing the transformant.
		To isolate Saxatilin from the venom of Agkistrodon saxatilis emelianov, 302.4 mg of crude venom from the snake was applied to a SEPHADEX™ G-75 gel filtration column (1.8×100 cm) equilibrated with PBS buffer, and fractionated at a flow rate of 20 ml/h.
		The present inventors purified Saxatilin from the venom of Agkistrodon saxatilis emelianov, cloned cDNA encoding Saxatilin, and constructed a recombinant expression vector comprising the cDNA and a recombinant microorganism transformed with the recombinant expression vector which expresses Saxatilin, and prepared Saxatilin by culturing the recombinant microorganism.

	Handbook of Texas Online:
		The northern copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix mokasen) is a darker-shaded snake with wide, coppery, reddish-brown crossbands, and is found in Northeast Texas.
		The Trans-Pecos copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix pictigaster) of the West Texas mountains is russet-hued and lives in shrubby desert and canyons, though it is usually found near springs and streams in these desert regions.
		Agkistrodon venom is not especially powerful; not a single death resulted from 308 southern copperhead bites studied over a ten-year period.

	The Medicinal Use of Snakes in China
		Ben Cao Gang Mu (1590 A.D.) by Li Shizhen, it was said that “Agkistrodon penetrates the bone to expel the pathogenic wind and alleviate convulsion and is the essential material for wind arthralgia, convulsion, scabies and malignant scabies—because it travels everywhere, outward to the skin and inward to the viscera.” It was noted in
		Illustrated Materia Medica that “Agkistrodon has a quicker effect in treating wind syndrome than that of other snakes.” Several records in Chinese medical books indicate that snake slough is useful for malignant sores, such as mammary abscess and tumor, boils, carbuncles, and furuncles.
		Pharmacopoeia of China gives a dosage of agkistrodon for decoction at 3–9 grams, but for powder to be swallowed, only 1–1.5 grams), probably because decoction poorly extracts some active components and damages others.

		A large body of anecdotal evidence exists to suggest a new potential subspecies of Agkistrodon piscivorus in Central and Southern Florida.
		Distinct size and behavioral characteristics set this group apart from all other snakes in its genus, and indeed from all other known reptiles.
		The goal of this project is a telemetric study of Agkistrodon piscifabula to document its habits, physical characteristics, ecology and diet.

	Agkistrodon contortrix
		-- Agkistrodon contortrix may be mistaken for other venomous and non-venomous snakes in Texas.
		There is also evidence that copperheads may only give birth to young every other year.
		The distinctions between these are based on color variations, yet some of these variations have been shown to be variable within the range of a single subspecies.

		The victim should seek immediate medical care from a physician or hospital experienced in treating snakebite.
		When threatened, the cottonmouth may respond by coiling its body and opening its mouth as though ready to bite — see photograph in Florida cottonmouth, Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti.
		The exposed white interior of the mouth is what gave rise to the common name, ‘cottonmouth.’ Given the chance, the cottonmouth usually will retreat.
