I do not agree with taking out a venomoid or enomous snake in an educational show. If the animal is out of the cage anything can happen. I personally will leave them in LOCKED cage and the kids can walk by the cages at some point of the show.

No need to even put a little danger out there when it comes to children.

Why you ask. I think of venomoids as the unloaded gun. How many times have you heard sorry thought the gun was unloaded. What happens if the snake gets loose from you and does bit a kid and so an invection happens. Papers will say VENOMOUS SNAKE BITES CHILD IN EDUCATIONAL SHOW........

Bad press for us is bad press. We like to just stay out of the news.

Not being mean to you at all. But no reason to take a venomous snake out in public
