Yes, you can take a picture of the snake. A great instructional video.

Can’t we just take a picture of the snake

Do not follow this advice. It is outdated. At the time of this post, the current revision of the Red Cross training (v2021) does not advise this. Do not attempt to go after the snake to identify it or bring it with you to the hospital. That’s how you turn a snake bite into snake bites. The best thing you can do is call 911 and keep them calm. The injured part should be below the heart. Get help as quickly as possible. Treat every snake bite as venomous.

Thanks great information.

I know with vipers here in Florida no compression and keep the bite mark above the heart, you want the blood to thin out the venom and not localize it

probably better for you to support the arm rather than make him use muscles

Wasn’t there a pub med article that snake bite kits were ineffective and in fact, could cause additional damage to the skin tissue?
