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.

If what you are after is a conversation, you are correct.

Well, if your goal is to have a conversation and not be a control freak, let people have their say. There are other opinions besides yours, and some of them may be equally or more valid. Listen.

See, there you go, trying to control again. I believe there is no good reason for venomoid surgery and that one is hurting the snake and asking for trouble by doing said surgery. My opinion is every bit a valid as yours, and by trying to control what I think, and what other people think, you are merely creating a justifiably poor rep for yourself.
You are trying to imply that because people have an opinion in this thread,they are not fighting the real fight. However, that is plainly erroneous as you too are here with your opinion.
A piece of advice, and it's free: Don't come out swinging and putting folks down. I mean really, if you do that, what did you expect in return?

Ray, i dont have a problem with venomoids like i said in previous post i use them but for you to say there is no danger you are ignorant. to say you and your staff take FULL responseability in the decline on death from snake bits there is being ignorant, big headed, and you are lying to yourselves. i never seen anyone in goldsboro nc with a snake til i came but for me to say i got everyone to get them would be stupid. 3) for you to use these snakes the way you do is stupid and is why bills like s373 are brought up because idiots cant handle snakes like an adult and treat them responsably. you my friend might need to get some education before you go trying to educate.

Lucille and strike-force-reptiles both take a deep breath and calm down.
I am not trying to control you.
I have already conceded your right to dislike venomoids and everyting about them.
Happy?
What I came to this thread about and my only reason was to correct obvious misinformation and/or lies on the said subject.
My original post noted the error of the claim that it was hard to differentiate muscle from organ tissue, given that false claim was used here as a basis to claim venomoids were not safe.
Venomoids by defnition are safe as they have no venom.
That's been established here for years and to the satisfaction of the worksafe authorities and the world's best vet surgeons and the numerous people who have volunteered to take bites from the said snakes!
So the claims and arguments against venomoids if legitimate, must move beyond the false claims that the operation is not possible (this was the original claim) and/or that venom gland regenerates, which we have established they don't.
Now you can have other objections against venomoids and they don't even have to make sense, but all I ask (and perhaps it's an impossible dream) is that you stick to facts and not lies.
ALL THE BEST :deadh orse

You just don't get it, do you. Your language is inflammatory and derogatory.
You are repeating your original opinions. There is in fact good information that counters your opinions, but you are not here to listen, and were not from the getgo. You are plainly intent on your performance, with all those horses, not on a dialogue, and certainly not the truth.
Who paid you?

hey Ray try reading my posts, i said i agree with venomoids BUT venomoids are NOT 100% safe to do with like you do i dont care how you put it. you dont know when someone will screw up. i do remember someone on here ordered a hot from a company and got a venomoid so i wonder who ordered the venomoids that got the hot? might find out at the morgue. so see people do screw up and to tell everyone that venomoids are safe is wrong. free handling of a venomoid is stupid period. a dog has no venom but can you say a dog trained to attack is safe? venomous snake have and instinct to bite plain and simple, if someone screws up whats going to happen when the people gets bite while free handling a venomoid that someone screwed up? they are going to think ok its safe no venom and just clean it off and go on like it never happened while they are doing that by the time they realize somethings not right 70% will be too far from help and will die. also with venomoids you still run the risk of infection as well and the fangs could hit an artery which is very rare but there still is that chance. so no venomoids are not safe so you can keep arguing that they are but its bs and will just go right out the window. the facts are the facts and even though i use venomoids for real educational show i also stated that it is to lessen the risk of someone getting hurt i never said it was to make it safe. so i use them and i know the dangers. how about this you pull your head out of that warm dark hole its in and we will stop showing you all the ways you are ignorant. sound good?

People that scream I win I win are not sure of themselves.
Tell you what I gave you facts.
Fact: You abuse the snakes untill they bite you. There is no if ands or buts about it.
Fact: you cut into the head of venomous snakes so you can play with them in public.
Fact: You get upset when someone says that it can be done wrong. And it can be.

I don't want to rain on anyones parade but the whole point of this thread was to try and promote the safe way of the procedure being done. We all know a lot of people perform the surgery that don't know what they are doing, or think they know but not licensed and certainly not a surgeon. For that reason i'd say the vast majority of "venomoids" are hard to consider safe, you guys are certainly right on that point.
But what i was trying to aim for was the snakes that do have the surgery done but licensed surgeons. the pain cared for pre and post surgery and possibly even implants put it place. I'd be very interested in seeing a study done one THOSE snakes to see if any ever become venomous again.
