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.

That's horrendous. Whose hackwork is that?
Venomoiding is the practice of butchering and mutilating a venomous snake in order to turn it into a harmless toy to prop up the ego of some wannabe who is too impatient or too stupid to learn how to handle real venomous snakes but wants to show off his cool pet cobra right now.
Theoretically this operation may be carried out by a veterinarian, but generally speaking they aren't. Most vets won't do this kind of surgery. The majority of the venomoids sold at shows and on the Net are the work of amateur butchers who are using "surgical" tools from Home Depot and no pain medication. In many cases it appears that no post surgery antibiotics are given either, which has predictable results - a lot of dead snakes.

Wouldn't it be nice if......
We held the guy who did that down and carve out his teeth with "Home Depot" surgery kits?

looks to me like a snake eating a mouse.. he already has half the mouse (head, look for the nose) in his mouth...you can see the tail too.. the white mouse is kinda hidden in the paper towel. if you look further down you see the snake get skinnier then bulge out again.. it looks like this snake was maybe undernourished and has just been given a mouse(the bulge to the left in the pic). The reason his jaw looks "deformed" is because its not aligned right from eating the previous mouse.. i fail to see the "butcher" job in this pic.. according to this pic.....the snake IS eating and thats all i see.. I see this as an attempt to flame ppl even more about venomoids..

The mouse is UNDER his head, the tail is emerging from underneath it's jaw.
... what's left of it's jaw.

Venemoids are controversial but I think they do have a place IF the surgery is performed properly by trained people.
Training programs for EMR personnel that may encounter venemous snakes should use venemoids to ensure the safety of the trainees when they are being taught about the species they may encounter. Educational programs that teach about venomous snakes should use venemoids to have a measure of safety when presenting these animals to the public.
I do not feel these should be kept by just anyone who wants to show off that they have a King Cobra as a pet but I do see where they can be valuable embassadors of their species in training programs if the procedure was done under sedation, in a sterile environment, and antibiotics were used to prevent infection.

look again:
The mouse is NOT under the Jaw.... look where the head of the mouse is... look at the black area under the mouse.. the head of the mouse is clearly in the snakes mouth..while the tail is under its head or jaw..

I'm against them 100% and personally can't think of a good reason to mutilate them for our benifit.
