I don't believe in "de-venomizing" either. I think it's clearly a dumb idea. Even though it could be the safest idea when keeping a venomous snake, the glands aren't made to just be removed. It's not natural take away what venomous snakes need in order to kill their prey just so you have a snake that supposedly can't kill you when it bites you.

I think it is what makes the snake, the snake. Kind of like how we have our own styles. They have the glands that make them feel comfortable because they use it for prey and protection. We have whatever in appearance or objects that make us happy.
