I haven't had a chance to look at the links (though I'm sure I've viewed them before), and I have been out of hots for some time....my understand was that the whole "need venom for digestion" argument was not applied to hots in general, but to certain types. (ie montane vipers and pit vipers that are regularly exposed to cooler temps. The premise being that the action of the venom sped the digestion, reducing the risk to the snake during colder periods.) Is that no longer thought to be the case?
