Bobby,

I don't necessarily think it's accurate to assume that just because someone has a venomoid that this means they are taking "shortcuts" with regards to the animals' care....I know we have a whole forum devoted to venomoid discussion so I won't post a novel...Suffice it to say that I've known competent keepers that for one reason or another had a venomoid in their collection and this animal was provided the same level of care as the "fully loaded" snakes were...

Is it right? Well, that's a matter of debate but the fact remains that these keepers ensured the health of all their charges whether fully equipped with venom or not.
