Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Before you consider purchasing a venomoid, you might want to learn how many snakes suffer and die so that some impatient person can have a "pet" cobra without bothering to learn how to house or handle it properly.
To make things even more interesting, not all snakes sold as venomoids are actually unable to envenomate - and some may start out that way but don't stay that way. Venomoids are just not a good idea all around.

I'm basically going to re-itterate what Tanith and Scott said, DO NOT GET A VENOMOID! Consider how many snakes died for the one "healthy" one you purchase...99.9% of these animals are operated on in someones garage with NO pain medication, no anesthetics, $2 scalpels, and tools from Home Depot. Don't be fooled thinking that these snakes are done by professionals...well, they are done by professionals...professional animal abusers. Also, as mentioned, since these snakes are usually butchered by amateurs, you could be playing a deadly game of chance if your "venomoid" isn't truly a completely altered snake...remember that most of these guys learn their trade from the internet and other amateur hackers, there is no "venomoid school" where these guys get degrees and graduate...and as Tanith described in an earlier post (go down to "I had my vet do a venomoid surgery today"), even professional vets can have a hard time distinguishing venom glands from other tissues...basically, if you get bit by a "venomoid", you still have a chance at being envenomated! Not a good thing, especially since you won't be prepared for it. Take the time to learn how to properly care for these amazing animals without taking shortcuts...it takes time and patience and dedication and A TON of responsiblity, but IT WILL BE WORTH IT. Getting a venomoid is a cheap thrill, and most of the people who buy them are the inexperienced, "I saw a mamba on Crocodile hunter and I want one" kind of people...and they have very little respect from the true venomous community. This doesn't have anything to do with egos, it has to do with the senseless butcher of animals that is venomoid surgery. Hope you make the right decision.

CALM DOWN!!
Hey guys, I'm not considering venomoid. I just wanted to know the laws. And Mustangrde1, venomoid laws do exist. In some areas you can legally own a venomoid reptile but not venomous. I am against the venomoid procedure. I know it is cruel and inhumane. I have seen some pretty bad foul ups associated with it. I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE LAWS IN NEW YORK STATE.

You can not keep any species of venomous snake without the proper license..... You can not own timbers or norther coppers unless you have the proper, separate license for protected species...... Not easy to get at all..... All species must be listed along with the ages, sexes and the exact amount of each species..... Any deaths or sales must be kept track of and fish and game must be notified in a timely manner, for future inspections..... You must get a copy of the license of the person buying any hots from you if they are sold in NY..... Some areas need to have a letter from the fire commitioner acknowledging he or she is awear of what you are keeping..... Proper caging must be used as well..... No all glass aquariums with screen lids..... Expect to be visited by fish and game...... If there is an animal in your possesition that is not listed on the license, say good bye to your license and your entire collection...... Do not lie on your application or they will take away your rights to own hot for good..... Good luck......
