Then why won't Sabatini guarentee his work?

If the procedure is guarenteed, he should back up his work. He doesn't. Could it be that he knows there could be a regenation issue and wants to CHA in case someone who bought one of his "fixed" snakes gets envenomated? I think so.

You are putting your life on the line (and others) when dealing with a void. You really have no way of knowing if the surgery will render it permanently incapable of delivering a "loaded" bite or not.

Do I think there may be some place for them in educational presentations? Possibly. It may decrease some of the risks BUT void or not, they should still be treated as an intact snake and safe handling techniques should still be used. BTW, free handling is not what I would consider a safe handling technique.
