Abstract

Crotalus viridis helleri venom glands were exposed to histochemical reactions for lipid and non-specific esterase activities in unmilked snakes and at 1, 4, 8 and 15 days following milking. Lipid and non-specific esterase were found in homologous areas during all stages analyzed. These components were concentrated in the basal region of the secretory cells and smaller amounts were scattered throughout the cytoplasm of the cells. Supporting connective tissue septa contained heavy concentrations of lipid and non-specific esterase activities.
