The Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary (PHS) houses over 200 venomous snakes representing more than 70 species from around the world. PHS also maintains the largest antivenom bank in the Western United States.
Why is the antivenom bank such an important resource?
Our antivenom bank is a critical safety measure for staff who work daily with exotic venomous snakes at the facility. It also serves as a valuable resource for other zoos and facilities, providing them with access to a wide range of antivenoms. Our collection includes antivenom for dozens of exotic species—from King Cobras to Inland Taipans.
Who can participate in the PHS antivenom bank program?
Permitted facilities can subscribe to our antivenom bank by paying an annual fee, which grants them access to our antivenom supply. Since importing antivenom requires special permits, this program offers a practical alternative by simplifying the process through membership.
If you are a permitted facility interested in a membership to our antivenom bank, please contact us at venom@phoenixherp.com for more information.
