Yes, Never buy or recommend venomoids, making the practice illegal will only move it under ground and become even worse for the poor captured snakes. As long...
I have been keeping reptiles for over 25 years , i must say I have heard of removing the venom glands in snakes but I have never seen a snake with its venom...
Thanks Lady Viper. I will never recommend venomoids to anyone and I will tell them why. I just wish there was some way to ban the sale of venomoids all at...
How do you know if the snakes feel pain? I love reptiles, and own several venomoids. I have never noticed any behavioral differences after the venom glands...
I don't know of any creatures that have been found NOT to have sensation in their mouths. Even sharks will bite something with their mouths to decide if it's ...
Whoever just posted that last comment is ignorant... Comparing an unnecessary surgery to remove a snakes venom glands to eating meat is rediculous. Is that...
What do you see as the reason you keep venomoids? If you want a venomous species get them fully loaded not less dangerous to make better pets. If you aren't...
Tom, Thank you for saying what I was thinking, my hubby advised me to be civil, but, I am grateful you spoke my feelings too. ... Pam aka Lady Viper Live in...

Well I would beg to differ on your statement of loveing reptiles, no one I would think that loves reptiles would want to see that done to them, just so that...
My point in the comparison was that in both cases, animals are feeling pain. Yes the surgery is unecessary, but so is eating meat. To my knowledge, NOTHING...
Well that debate is not even relevant, since were talking food and animal rights VS pets and mutilation that makes them unfit to survive naturally and has to...
What?!? Eating meat is unnecessary? You are going to make your snakes vegitarians? And as far as the anethstesia and pain...have you ever had oral surgery?...

I agree with you Lisa. I feel guilty about keeping snakes sometimes because I know they really belong in the wild. I have four snakes and they are all my...

Another thing to think about is in captivity your snakes hopefully are given regular meals, safety and are not something Else's meal. I understand how you feel...
hi,pam aka: indeed,i keep 2 Protobothrops jerdonii babys,my friend took their mom from mountain forest,and they were born in lab.so,how to say about them?CB? ...
Hello all, I have a quick question, what would you recommend as a diet for watersnakes? I have read that live fish are nutritionally complete and it sounds...
Wu Jia-wei, I would say those are still wild caught unless you breed them. If your baby's have babies they would be CB. I guess that would be a matter of...
I must apologize, my intentions on the venomoid posts were not to start fires. I expressed my opinions on the subject, having personally owned venomoids. I...
I don't need information on Venomoids, I have it, I have sent you links to support my opinions. Myself and many others have spoken reasons for not keeping...
Tell you what , Why dont you tell us what the valid reasons for venomoids? Im willing to bet you cannot come up with any or you dont respond to this email...
Tom, When we first starting looking at getting Hots, we thought, Hey Cool Venomoids! Get a venomous snake without the venom, no research done, it just sounds ...
I have never kept anything that was or is venomous, so I can not say first hand what it is like. But I know enough to say if you can't handle keeping a hot,...
I'm sorry, something I left out, this is a direct quote from the petition which started this whole debate: "Moreover, his home surgery without adequate...
Lady Viper, I wasn't telling you to go find your own reasons to keep a venomoid, I was saying to talk to an owner to find out what it's like. The research you...
