lol no what he meant was they free handle the snakes at the shows they do surg on lol should of been worded another way but i get where u got that at. i do agree with you on the if you are going to own a hot just own a hot but if you are doing educational shows for schools to educate them on venomous snakes in the area where they live its beeter to use venomoids to lower the risk even though its still not 100% safe. i mean its not like i let them touch them or anything but still you run a risk of it getting away from you and things do happen so i ONLY agree with them being used for education only. i dont believe anyone should have a venomoid unless its used for education. i ranther work with hots(which i do) but i just use these venomoids at shows. so you have to look at the educational side of it too. now days everyone just tells their kids go play in the yard and the parents dont watch them. if they run up on something that looks cool and dont know its dangerous they can get hurt or killed by it, also if they do get bit it makes the process go quicker if they know what bit them so they can tell their parents and their parents can tell the docs. so thats my reason for their use in my shows
