ok,
first should i even get a venomoid? i've kept snakes throughout my life and love them and want to get an awesome snake without killing myself.
second, should i not get a venomoid bucause a lot of people are REALLY against it and i can see EXACTLY why. i dont want to go and get a venomoid when there are people who put a lot of time in convincing other people to not get them and by getting one i'd be destroying thier work(in a scense)
third, if i do get one, with constant handling, will it ever get tame?
and fourth, what is a good venomoid to start out with if i do get one? personally i LOVE cobras!!!!!!
thank you for your time

Do not get a venomoid please. By doing so you lend support to an ever increasing industry that mutilates animals for profit. There are those who do it that use implants and such, but to what end. Vipers actually need the venom to help break down the tissue for easy digestion, without it who know what long term damage may occur. if you want a venomous snake, learn the ropes then start slowly you will not be sorry. Also learn your state and local laws as well, dont want you getting tossed in the pokey. good luck.

Devenomized snakes are still hots, and should be treated the same as thier venomous counterparts.
