A friend had a male Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake venomoid. It was cool to look at, all 6 feet of it. Was challenging to feed it as it required specific diet. He had to "mash" the food before giving it to him in order to help aid in digestion. Not the best of snakes to keep.

Have to agree deeply with Scott that when training in the back of your mind dealing with a 6ft cobra venomoid is nothing like dealing with a 6ft venomous cobra,

The best training for venomous is the thing itself I've yet to meet a non venomous snake as fast as most hots. As for my opinion on venomoids if cobras rattlers and the like were meant to be without there apparatus they would have involved to have done so but they didn't so leave it alone.

Isn't there also some question about snakes being able to regrow the glands in some way if the procedure isn't done properly or was that the bit about still producing venom if not all the gland is removed. I did read some accounts of how one guy operates on his Venomous snakes to remove the glands and tbh it turned my stomach Sad xxxxxxxx
