Abstract
Crotalus viridis helleri venom glands were exposed to histochemical reactions for monoamine oxidase and acid and alkaline phosphatase activities in unmilked snakes and at 1, 4, 8 and 15 days following milking. Monoamine oxidase and acid phosphatase were observed scattered throughout the venom secretory cells during all stages analyzed. Alkaline phosphatase was found in the basement membrane of the main gland secretory cells only at 8 and 15 days after milking, but was demonstrable in the basement membranes of the primary duct and the posterior and anterior accessory gland at all stages.
