venomous snakes

[KsKing]

Hmmm probibally going to stirr up a hornets nest here but im gona speak my mind. After all this is a forum this is where its done. Im sure some will agree some will disagree with some of my "opinions" but im not posting to put down anyone. Now aside from the people that keep and handle venomous snakes professionally for an actual purpose im very suprsed at the actual number of people that keep these exotic killers and more suprised at the number of people that say that they want to. I really dont see the point of keeping highly venomous snakes "as a hobby". Now I agree that they are very beautiful and amazing creatures and I admire and have the most respect for snakes in question but Damn keeping these things as pets is insaine. Im sure the people that do this would even agree that you have to be a little bit crazy to do it. Im actually very interested in some of the reasons that some of you have for keeping potentially deadly snakes. That is a serious question im trying not to pre judge so im asking. Now im refering to snakes like cobras, mambas, gaboons, tiapans, and the sort. You know the kind, If you get bit your going to die. Most people live through rattlesnake and copperhead bites so im not really refering to species of that nature. Also I dont understand why everyone gets so worked up about venomoids (snakes with fangs surgically removed). As long as the procedure is done by a profesional vetrinarian I would not consider it any different than neutering a dog which is generally considered a humaine practice. If people are going to keep these snakes for personal reasons wouldnt you prefer that thay were not lethal for the keepers and their familys sake. Now dont tell me that your taking away a snakes weapon and they need them because im refering to captive bred snakes and fangs serve no purpose in captivity. They will live a relavively stress free life out of danger and being taken care of and fed pre killed rodents most of the time. Actually wouldnt the snake receive better care if it was made non leathal due to ease of maintenance? Anyone that dosent see my point there is probibally one of those that keeps venomous to prove how big your balls are and id rather see people keep them that actually respected the creature.
Again these are my opinions and im not trying to put anyone down although im sure some of you feel that i have. If im wrong please give me some intelligent reasons why. Im an open minded person, Hell i love snakes i must be right.
