      Hi the danger club (that is a GREAT user name!),
      That sometimes depends, in terms of different species I work on as many as possible, that way any results I get are more reliable because I can see if there is a trend across many different species. If I try to make a conclusion off one or two species it’s not as strong. For that I can use data produced by other scientists around the world though, I dont have to have them all in a massive collection. In terms of hands-on work, I’d say there’s about 5 or 6 venomous species and 2 or 3 non-venomous ones. The total number of them I’m not actually sure!
