Need 2 find Trimeresurus AV (Not an urgency luckily...LOL)

OK, I might be getting a Trimeresurus puniceus, but first I need to know which laboratory makes the AV and its aproximate cost.
Besides, it's amazing how hard is to get information on trimeresurus venom, so any info will be REALLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Martin.

This is the one I know which produce AV for trimeresurus:

National Institute of Preventive Medicine
161 Kon Yang Street, Taipei, Taiwan
Tel: 886-2-785-7559 Fax: 886-2-785-3944
They have a polyvalent for: bungarus multicinctus, n. naja atra, trimeresurus mucrosquamatus & t. stejnegeri but I'm not sure if this help for t. puniceus venom or not.

It is called a Bivalent, rather than a Polyvalant because it only treats those 2 species. Not sure of a specific one for puniceus.

thanks for the answers guys! I am in the same situation as you are (kinda), because I don't know if that AV work with puniceus.
BTW, any input or comments on the puniceus husbandry will be more than welcome.
Again, Thanks
Martin
