Re: Venomoid animals
It's completely irresponsible. The surgery to take out the venom glands on a snake is highly invasive. It's leaves the animal's natural look deformed as well. There was also another post on here that showed a study being done where they attempted to milk four supposedly venomoid snakes. 3 of the 4 produced venom.

Re: Venomoid animals
The only plus I see with them is for use in training people to work with hots. They may also discourage those who think they are ready, but are not really even close. Getting tagged by a venomoid cobra might make you think twice about that $100 kingsnake purchase when it could mean your life.

Exceptions to what?
How the hell do they know if it hurts the snake, its usually under anesthetic. And yes the do replace the "deflated" face with implants.
Edit
Aside from the surgery, most Hots use their venom to start as a digestive process. How detrimental is that inside the belly, I have no idea.
