No, most of us do not keep venomoids.

Ever been bit by a corn snake... Enough said!!!

[SCReptiles]

Jay, those voids still have fully functioning fangs, so most who keep voids treat them with more respect then one would a corn snake or a boa. I am sure there are bites, but they are infrequent. I personally do not know anyone who has been tagged by one, but I am guessing Ray Hunters probably has. Ha ha

I have seen a bite on the forearm from someone freehandling a venomoid 3 foot neotropical rattler. DEEP punctures and alot of bleeding and pain. Pics of 2 holes is not very interesting. Pop a staple into your arm and that is what it looks like.

yea i am alwys very very cosious when handeling venomous reptiles

[skin78]

I really hate venomoids.. Can't understand why people torture such a great animal.

[-WilleM-]

well,
I understand that people choose for it,even do I would never want it.Like you say,no animal needs to suffer for nothing.
But what I don't understand is how can you believe someone when you buy a venomoid?Are you able to see it that well?I think everybody could sell a venomous snake with a note by it that it's a venomoid? :s

[skin78]

mmm most venomoids have large scars on the side of the head. Also if I am not mistaking the shape of the head is also different.

[jaybox_reptiles]

is venimoid and venimous the same thing ???

[-WilleM-]

a venomous snake that is venomoid,is a venomous snake where the venom is neutralised.Sometimes this is done on a very unacceptable way :(

[DarkHunter]

I think jay was trying to ask if anyone has been bitten by a venomous snake...?

[jaybox_reptiles]

yea dark hunter i was but i thought they were the same lol (dont you hate it when your wrong lol)

Not to many like or are willing to talk about their bites from venomous. My favorite saying is "" It is not a badge of honor to brag about , But a badge of stupidity or neglegance""

[Scott Wahlberg]

If you wanna see some pics go to www.venomousreptiles.org Theres also a saying about venomous snake keeper." theres 2 kinds of venomous snake keepers those who have been bit and thos who will be bit" Not my favorite saying.Scott

[SerpentLust]

I'd like to keep a venomous snake, and since I just learned what a venomoid is, I think that's cruel.

Hehe I'd like a pygmy rattler, but honestly, I don't think I have the perverbial balls to handle a vemonous...

Oh well, dare to dream.

And
Pics of 2 holes is not very interesting isn't there swelling and such too? lol And I think the bites would look VERY interesting :)

Ok I'll get out of the venomous forum now lol

I would rather be none of them :)

[jaybox_reptiles]

yea thats true im kinda of scared to keep venoumus my dad has kept a pigmy before but now i just catch rattlers at the ranch although i wouldnt mind having a vine snake since the venoum is not too too bad and they are rear fanged...

Jay

[skin78]

well I am planning on keeping hots but also am planning not getting bitten :) I am going to work very very very safe :)

[Lisa]

I think everyone plans on not getting bitten...

[skin78]

that's true but as Scot was saying that you have some keepers that are bitten and some that will get bitten.. I also think that there are keepers that will never get bitten by their hots. And I want to be one of them :)

[-WilleM-]

true skin78,
Personally I believe that it's 100% possible to keep a hot without ever being in it's striking range...If you start to grab or chalange a snake like a cobra,than you're searching to get bitten.
This is just my opinion..

[boydsnakes]

I have had hots when i lived in the U.S they are great as long as your not stupid you,ll be fine..Boydssnakes
