Venomoid Question

[SavannahMon!tor]

Ya I went to a reptile show in PA and got to hold a typan and a boomslang it was pretty cool but I kind of felt bad for the snake. its most likely a good idea for people who have children and or have a small house but still want a venomous snake.

Ok so I admit I haven't posted on this forum in a fair while, but the above quote really got me.
I'd love a venomous snake, but damn my house is too small. No worries I'll get a venomoid.
I went to one "show" and i got to hold a boa. Too bad it wasn't a potential killer.
I'm really at a lose to understand this persons morals on pet keeping, let alone reptile keeping. If people want a "venomous" snake and have children in the same house, then move to the circus. Venomoids arent some cute commodity that is the product of a quick vet visit. The snake will always suffer, no matter what the outcome.
I'm keeping this short, but if anyone fancies a chat feel free to pm me.

Cheers
