Also, you need to think why you want a venomoid. Is it just to say you have a once hot snake to impress your friends. What i belive the case with venomoids is that you are actually hurting the snake. The venom starts digestion, when you remeove the venom you are taking away a key part in the digestion process. Now people do have venomoids and they do well, but in my opinion they are a useless butchering of a beautiful creature. If the reason that you want a venomoid is that you are not ready or qualified to own a fully venomous snake i would have to recommend either getting a rear fanged snake, or a non venomous snake all together.

Just my opinion,
Kris
