Discussions on venomoids and morphs always generate strong opinions (like the debate on human abortion). Let me state that I do not own a venomoid, nor do I want one, but I can see how this can be useful for someone who provides reptile educational presentations and wants to use venomous without endangering the audience. As for the process mutilating an animal, yes, it is an unnecessary surgery, but it really isn't much different that neutering your cat or a person getting plastic surgery. Venom is used as a digestive enzyme, but snakes seem to do ok when venom glands are removed. Just throwing that out there to play Devil's Advocate.
