I really can't see how disecting a live snake is less stressful than handling (which is the whole reason behind venomoiding)even if the operation and recovery is short term.

The snake will still be stressed long term. Let's not fool anyone. The whole reason for venomoiding is the handler's convieniance.

I have to disagee on the idea of this surgery being humane in any form.
