venomoid?
I was looking for a leu. monicaled cobra and ran across some for sale and they saId they had been devenomized and had venimoid implants.
I have no experiance with hots yet, and this was using this fact as a selling oont saying that they could then be owned by anyone.
thoughts?

I'm guessing the venimoid implants gives them just enough venom to kill a rodent?

No. According to this, there is NO venom left. They do the surgery and removed ALL of those glands. Place implants inside the snake so that they look normal. And then feed themONLY prekilled
I just wondered if you thought this was 'ethical' to do to an animal (i know what I think)\

They're highly controversial and generally considered unethical. Also if done improperly their venom sacks could reconnect to the fangs or not be entirely removed. They pretty much should still be treated like hots even though they "don't have venom".

Okay then no, I do not believe that this is ethical. If I were to own a cobra (actually one of the easiest snakes to tame) I would take the risk and have some antivenom handy instead of buying a mutilated animal. To do so is to encourage them to continue mutilating these cobras.

If you have no experience with hots yet, you need to find a mentor to actually teach you safe handling skills & snakebite protocol. Starting off with a monocled cobra is not the way to go, regardless of whether or not it's been de-venomized.

VERY controversial.
Oh, and they can get their venom back, so never safe.

Kara, that's I guess what frightened me. Is I don't have any hots because no one has taught me yet. So I have no buisness owning. But this was trying to make it sound like no big deal.
