Re: being as nice as possible but you have to be kidding me
[QUOTE=wilomn;716949]It was either a void, had it's mouth sewn shut, which I don't think it did as I am pretty sure I saw it open, or Bob has developed a death wish to go with his need for public accolade. QUOTE]
What do you mean by a "Void"? Sorry if I sound like a noob...but I am. :P
Re: being as nice as possible but you have to be kidding me
A snake that is referred to as a "void" is one that has had it's venom glands removed rendering it non-venomous. They can still bite, still have fangs, but no longer deliver venom.

They are called venomoids, But any offspring they produce still carries the venom. Right Wes?

Correct. It's a relatively simple surgery that only removes the venom glands, not the snakes ability to produce little venom producing snakes.

Thanks! I've seen a few posts (not here) where people thought they where a hybrid of some sort and the offspring would be non venomous also..

I really hope someone asks Bob about this when he goes on Reptile radio in a few weeks.
Re: being as nice as possible but you have to be kidding me
That was really stupid. Even if it was venemoid they're still showing terrible handling practices.

that would be a pretty good question!
Re: being as nice as possible but you have to be kidding me
That was pretty sad... I expected a lot more from Bob. BTW, anyone else notice that Fox labeled that monocled cobra a 'King Cobra'?
Nice looking snake, though.
