I think the best protocol is DON'T GET BITTEN!! Haha. Good luck finding one

Lea, best advice one can get given.

There are a number of keepers on the Forum that keep this species, so I am sure someone must be able to help.

The snake bite protocol does not help you if the mainstay of any serious bite is the use of antivenom which is not available in South Africa.
