I got them years ago from Midwest supplies, but they no longer sell them. You can order them from the UK as Venom Defender gloves. The glove are not 100% guaranteed bite proof. You must train and learn how to handle venomous snake and not depend on a pair of gloves to protect you. The gloves are a secondary precaution in case you get bit, it may stop the bite.

True about these gloves not being a substitute for good technique. "Luke" who developed the gloves sold as Venom Defender was bitten on June 29, 2011 by a King Cobra and died within minutes from heart failure.

Not his first bite either.
