YouTube - Ryan Stock Gets Bitten By An Egyptian Cobra

Why would anybody just let a venomous snake bite them?

I think this was just staged for a video.

Venomoid, I'd put money on it.

Exactly what I was thinking.

How much would you put on it? I'd go £50

We can only hope...

Even if it was a venomoid he's still an idiot for letting it bite him. There have been cases of a the venom duct and gland regenerating, and I believe I'm correct in saying a few people have been envenomated by supposedly safe snakes.

Indeed you are correct.

Al Coritz said that the majority of venom duct and gland regeneration comes from Elapids....And what exactly is an Egyption Cobra? LOL! I laughed personally....It was a silly thing to do...

Although the Glands only usually are abled to re-generate if the surgery was poorly carried out. It's playing God though, You are saying that an animal cannot have it's natural functions by removing them. Theres no point in keeping Venomoid snakes...You just aswell get a Rat snake. This is just my opinion.

Would a Venomoid snake still be classified as DWA?

yes as it can pro-create still

No, I'm slightly wrong in my early post, a cut duct can repair itself, a completely removed gland will not grow back, apparently this is a bit of a myth which has come about from amateur adenectomys which have left part of the gland intact.

I can see how venomoids would be useful as a teaching or educational aid but as part of a private collection .... I disagree.

Your basically mutilating an animal for your own pleasure, its an unnecessary surgical procedure akin to cropping a dogs ears.
