While poisonous snake sightings are relatively rare in the UAE, a fearsome-looking Arabian cat snake was seen in the south-east of the country last year.
21st World Congress of the International Society on Toxinology (IST) is organized by MENA Conference and will be held from Oct 16 – 21, 2022 at Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
