Happy Rattlesnake Friday! Did you know that the venom of the Copperhead like this one in our Herp Photo of the day, uploaded by kingsnake.com user cochrancontains a protein called Contortrostatin which can bind Breast Cancer proteins and help in the fight against breast cancer? Now you do! Be sure to tell them you liked it here! As always on Friday, we celebrate all of our venomous reptiles for their contribution to the world and to raise awareness for their need for protection.

Upload your own reptile and amphibian photos at gallery.kingsnake.com, and you could see them featured here!
