This skit is hilarious, BUT it needs an important qualification (in fact it's a great lesson for this, as long as it is emphasized each time you run the skit):
Modern snakebite treatment calls for NOT sucking the poison out, as it not only tends to be pretty ineffective but can also do damage to the skin. We also no longer use tourniquets nor cut the wound between the bites. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakebite.
