Naaah, he thinks I'm just a cranky old lady for being concerned about minor little details like that.

...One smaller note...I don't know how "proficient" a hacker Mr Smith is, but just because he has made it a venomoid doesn't mean it cant kill someone...from the little i've learned about the practice if it is done wrong the snake is still capable of producing venom...

Kevin keeps saying that I'm just making up the fact that venomoid operations are not 100% reliable especially when performed by non veterinarians. He likes to ignore the evidence and the statements of well respected and well published reptile veterinarians who have verified re-fissuring after ductectomy and failed/partial adenectomies that have left the animals able to deliver significant envenomation. He doesn't care, and he'll keep right on selling people botched venomoids until somebody gets killed.
One of his unhappy customers came on here reporting that Kevin sold him a "venomoid" canebrake that was still quite capable of envenomating and killing prey.

Most likely he will also go right on shipping venomous snakes illegally, again until somebody gets killed. Personally I think it would be a good idea to put this guy in jail before he can do any more damage to our community.
