Unbelievable!!

After taking a brief (though unwanted) break from keeping snakes (venomous is all I've ever done) - now that I'm getting back in I have noticed a ton of venomoids for sale. What's up with this?!?!

If you don't want a venomous snake, why in the world would you buy a venomous snake?

A few years ago I heard of venomoids, but thought that was just an extreme rarety - now it seems like there's tons of them. I would be extremely upset to find out someone sold me one!! (To say the least!)

Doubt they would unless it was an accident as they cost more then nonhacked animals in many cases. but it is a sad and dangerous trend , GET A DAMN CORN if you cant handle the hot.

AMEN - Corns are very pretty and you don't have to chop them up!

i read a site where some on was removing ATB eyes so they wouldnt bite s much, then put in glass eyes, color of your choice no doubt!

I doubt you could change the minds of those involved in the venomoid market very easily.

There's no love for the animals there. The seller is motivated by the money from the transaction, and the typical buyer would be more interested in the status of having a "dangerous" pet to show off.

This is something that's going to proliferate as long as there's a demand and money to be made. :(
