albino monacled cobras

I want one of those so bad. But I would die. I would be like, "Awww you're too cute, let me just cuddle you..." And then the snake would bite the tar out of me and I'd be dead.

if it wasn't for that i'd say ship me one.:D

I would love it if there was a humane and safe for the snake way of making those things novenomous, but there is no way I'd keep hots. Beautiful snake though.

Juvie cobras are awesome........so cool how they pop up to hood and say hello.....LOL

Nice looking snakes man!

thanks for the compliments you guys!

there are ways of doing this BUT it is a disgusting and disgraceful process which i will never become a part of. think of it as taking away a humans legs :)

I'm completely unfamiliar with the process so I don't really have an opinion on venomiods...but just being objective here I'll pose a question: Does removing their venom glands in any way affect their overall quality of life in captivity? I'm not trying to start a debate; I'm just geniunely curious about the issues on both sides of the arguement.

No hots (or voids for that matter) can EVER be shipped any way other than thru the airlines.

If you'll notice i didnt say if there was a way, I said if there was a safe and humane way, which rules out the ways of doing it now which have low survival rates and all the problems associated with venomoids and the current processes. I am in no way backing the curent methods being used, and I agree, its not right. That is why i said IF there was a safe and humane way, then i would be interested. I know what i just said probably seems a little harsh, and i want to say that I only put it as blunt and to the point as i did to make it clear i dont support venomoids as they are now, i dont mean it in a rude way toward uro at all. Thank you for bringing up the fact that the current way if doing it is horrible. I somewhat assumed most of us were aware of the issue, so i didnt explain what i said at first as clearly as i should have.


To answer your question elevatethis, i think there is a post in the hot section that discusses venomoids.

none taken parahnaking :) id much rather tell someone that venomoids are bad then have someone question me if they are bad after the surgery is done.:)

elvate- all venomous snakes require venom to aid in the digestion of there food. without this venom they could easily perish from a number of diseases caused by infection of the glands impaction etc... most venomous snakes are thin bodied and do not have the power to constrict even the smallest of mice/rats etc so to answer your question yes it would affect the quality of the life of a venomoid:)
