I'm happy to be wrong, but I think there's a reason why we don't have antivenin stored at room temp. Let us know what you find.

I believe you're right about it denaturing. It would probably need to be kept in some sort of portable freezer-unit like what I've seen severe diabetics carry around for their insulin.
The problem there is that those are very expensive and likely wouldn't be possible to mass produce... Though it might be practical for businesses that work with a lot of venomous reptiles to have on-site.

It could also break their teeth if done repeatedly. Hades lost a tooth when biting me a while ago. I wouldn't do it.

I minimize handling my checkered for that reason.

I only hold Hades to check on his mouth. He keeps rubbing his face on the logs and re opening the wound.

I only hold him to move him etc, but he he's stopped biting for the most part....
