Venomoid animals

What the heck is the point if you can own a non-venomous instead, that never had venom glands to begin with?

Several snake species venom actually starts to digest once its injected. I'm not sure as to which species due to me not keeping venomous.

Denial, while I use your quote, this is not directed only at you.

And we should just accept this?

I suppose there is no point in trying to make a difference, you know, buck up for what is personally believed in and actually representing those beliefs whether or not anyone else agrees with or condones them, no, I don't suppose, given the fact that "as a whole" humans are hypocrits, anyone of us should try to make a difference with our personal selves, what we do and say today versus tomorrow and consistency despite group or surroundings.

Yeah, that would be a lot harder than just going with the flow.

Best do it the easy way and not bother to struggle, to hope, to seek, something better than what we see everyday, to strive for a dream or ideal that is not really feasible given human nature.....sigh.

What's the colour of the day tomorrow? I want to fit in, not stand out as an independent thinker.

There are some VERY cool hot snakes out there. Just because you have no interest does not invalidate that of others.

Ok, let me ask one question...


why would you want a venomoid?

answer, so you feel safe knowing your animal you keep, MIGHT not have venom glands, thus making it publicy acceptable to the "non snake keepers".

SOLUTION, stop being a complete D-Bag, learn proper ways to deal with venomous, and educate yourself. DONT MODIFY THE ANIMAL TO KEEP IT!

yes i do see the point with cats and dogs getting fixxed.
BUT, that procidure, isnt changing the way of life for the animal.
they still can mate, just not produce.

i have no respect for a keeper, who has no clue how to deal with venomous.
so they have venomoids. im not arguing, just stating my opinion.
and it a subject ive read about quite a bit.

and still, NOONE has shown me anything good from this.
its like tattooing your fish...

you can do it..
to make it look pretty..


BUT IF U WANTED A PRETTY FISH GO BUY ONE. DONT CHANGE THIS ONE!

same with snakes.

Interesting stuff, I myself love talking( not argueing) about philosophy, however I do not think it should be brought up in this particular post.


I fully support professionals owning hot snakes to milk them and make antivenom, however I do not support individual privet owning of hot animals. Can you imagine how sad it would have been if that snake used in that gang fight was hot?

Would it be worse than using a gun? Do you feel guns should not be owned by anyone who can legally obtain one?

its worst than a gun on the level that it makes snakes look bad.
its not because its not a weapon.
its like a dog attack, except media will blow the ish out of the water, and make all snakes look like man eaters.

just because u can own a gun, doesnt mean u should.
same with a snake.

i can go buy 10 retics right now.
should i? not really...

When I turn twenty one I'm going to apply for a concealed weapons liscense, for my protection. It is worse considering the gun is a lifeless object and the snake is living. A snake being used as a weapon, wether its venomus or not causes stress on the snake. I do support gun ownership, however I also support the idea of people owning weapons only if they can pass a government class on the subject. There is too many morons out there. Perhaps afew liscensed professionals should be aloud to keep venomus snakes for home study as long as they are monitored frequently.

Not sure if this is true.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to get it up if I got castrated.
