"Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (Florida) has one of the best anti-venom stock pile in the country."
That's probably because it's got the best VENOM stockpiles in the country!
According to the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida has six venomous snakes: Diamondback Rattlers, Canebrake Rattlers, Pigmy Rattlers, Copperheads, Cottonmouths, and Coral Snakes. It has at least eight or ten non-venomous kinds.
p.s. Since coral snake antivenin won't be made in the U.S. (according to the article above) I googled to find who WOULD be producing it. And the answer is... no one.
