    Well I have assisted in a few different types of Venom gland removal or duct occlusions. We ONLY will do these for state approved facilities which use the animals for educational purposes and the need for wildlife conservation. I still do not agree with it one bit...but I feel the same way about debarking. If getting a dog debarked means that it will remain in a loving household and not end up in a shelter...it is worth it. Back to the topic. The procedure which we have had the most LONG TERM success is to occlude and cauterize the venom gland. This is actually far easier than implants and since the duct itself has been in cauterized, there is FAR less likely of a chance of regrowth with function. This being said I would NEVER trust a bite from any venomous snake regardless of the procedure. I think if you want to keep hots, take your time and keep the HOT.
