Venomoid Albino Monocled Posing

Thanks for the info. I have no problem with critization at all if its done politely like this.

But I am positive that I read about venom shortening the life of the snake as its a toxin even if the snake is immuned to it.

And also this is not a digestive enzyme or anything like that. These are neurotoxins and they effect nerve cells. They have nothing to do with digestion at all. At least for the Cobra. And if it was some kinda digestive enzyme it would hurt the snake, too. The tissues of the pray are pretty much the same as the snake.

And by the way a lot of people are getting the balls of their dogs and cats every day ;).

Well here we go lol. venom is toxic yes but it is toxic in a nature that even if a person was to drink snake venom it wouldnt hurt the person in any way what so ever as long as the person didnt have any ulser's or cuts in their digestive tract. therefore the venom a snake uses does hot hurt the snake or shorter is life span. also if you have ever seen fecal matter from a venomous snake as compared to fecal matter from a non venomous snake the venomous snake typically doesnt have as solid poop as the non venomous. why do you think this is? is it maybe that because the venom even if it is a neurotoxin helps to break down food? have you ever seen a photo of a person bitten by a cobra? there will still be some swelling and tissue damage which would lead to the snake digesting differently with and without venom. and on the cats and dogs being spayed and neutered. there are more than plenty cats and dogs that already need good homes why would we need to make any more? and cats and dogs typically live longer when spayed and neutered and also have calmer of a temperment. its not a practice that people do just to keep the animal its a practice that people do so that animals dont suffer from having bad homes or no homes. making a snake venomoid is just a practice so that people that dont want to learn to handle venomous snakes can have the snakes they want without the side effect of possibly being envenomated. i still dont like the practice of making snakes venomoids but yet again beautiful cobra.

Nice answer. And nice comment about drinking the toxin. Of course a neurotoxin won't affect the body until it comes to a nerve but you are forgetting one thing. We are all the same darn decomposing organic matter. As the snake gets old, it is getting damages in the digestive tract and it is very well possible that the venom can reach these areas as the age of the snake increases.

Also I don't know if you have seen the poo of a venomoid but it is exactly same with a venomous one. This shows that the same digestion is going on properly. And the reason why you got so much liquid is that a venomous snakes digestive system is different than the constricting ones. As they can not break down the bones during killing you got to have a super acidic liquid in your stomach. Also think about this... this liquid is so strong that it can melt the unbroken bones of an animal but not strong enaugh to digest the whole organism? Is this possible? The snake does not need the venom for digestion.

As well as your proof about that swelling and stuff I have a different theory.

I don't know if you ever studied immunology but venom is something extremly foreign to our body and when it gots in blood attacks violantly to it. And the tissue is damaged by your own blood.

And about the dogs and cats...I only gave that example cos you said something about the testicles before thats it.

Beautiful lookin snake!! venemoid or not this snake is awesome. if you dont mind me askin how much did you pay for it?

2 monthly payments of 200. Comes to 400 shipping included.

yasin since it is unfortunate that you are leaving the country and cant take this incredible snake with you
i will buy if from your for 200 shipped. just think about it. the snake is only worth about 150 shipped since it is just an albino monocled cobra. you just paid too much money for a surgery that wasnt needed.

Thanks for the offer:). Unfortunately venomoid Cobras worth a lot. I'll have to pass...

I am sending all my stuff to a friend anyways.

But I have a nice monitor for 100 shipped if you like.

Plus people have a reason for snipping dogs sexual organs. If there were mass numbers of cobras reproducing in the streets and getting killed/abandoned somehow because of their venom then it'd be something to think about.

PEOPLE NEED EDUCATION... SO READ

The idea of right and wrong are completely dependent upon ethical, moral, cultural and legal standpoints of persons as individuals and as groups. In the instance of CORRECTNESS, if it an action is legal, then it is possible to be considered as RIGHT. It may not be socially accepted, but that is a DIFFERENT ISSUE.

Dogs get neutered, people professionally beat each other up, abortion is legal, $5.15 for minimum wage is acceptable, God exists and there is only one perfect religion...

Do you see where I am going? There are many issues up for debate and discussion. If you can not prove something as LEGALLY wrong, then you have no right to force something on someone, especially your beliefs.

All statements previously posted, whether right are wrong are OPINIONS, so in the future, apply the phrase "In my opinion" to your post. This promotes healthy and proper discussion and debate.

The words NEVER, ALWAYS, MUST, HAVE TO, NEED, IS RIGHT, IS WRONG are all autocratic words synonymous with people who tend to be power-hungry, insufficiently educated and simple-minded and ultimately results in primitive uses of linguistics.

Stay open-minded.

Beautiful snake, regardless of the surgery.

What is the differance between removing a snakes glands and removing a cats claws? Nothing. As long as you provide an enviorment were they don't need these tools anymore you are alright. Cats inside, doesn't need to climb trees any more and eats catfood, doesn't need claws. I'm sure this cobra gets feed prekilled, so there is no need for venom. Nice snake!

there's a BIG difference between cats and cobras. Those furry bastards have been domesticated...cobras are beyond domestication....they will ALWAYS need those tools

beautiful, just beautiful...

You know, If I wanted to I should be able to remove the freaken snake's head and place a Turtle face if I wanted to. You guys have no say. You claim to be concerned about this venomoid when in reality you are misinformed. Why don't you go cry for something cute and cuddly like my ass!!!!

just curius but how much is it to get a snake's venom glands removed (on average)

It is funny that much of what has been discussed is stated as fact ect. Swelling a physiologic response or digestion; judging digestion by the outward look of the stool... and of course the ever rediculous idea of creating a turtle headed snake(lol) to spite any animal rights and assert human ownership as the ultimate power. I agree with most that this is a very beautifull snake, but I'll also agree with not supporting the creation of venomoid animals. As we can agree until actual scientific evidence points us otherwise the only benefit of a properly done venomoid cobra is that it's bite is no long a threat. My position is balanced on my attraction towards animals being one of respect, not ownership.
In response to the comments on dogs and cats, I will say that the surgical procedures done are a result of societies need to deal with certain problems of an astronimical population. With cat declaws you will find debates on their ethicality larger than found here about venomoids. In the end it is waying the pro's and con's of euthanising the animal because the owner values furniture above it, or declawing it. All a result of pet ownership being a right and not a privilage. Ask the staff at your vet clinic their position on such topics as they deal with a large amount of clientelle and thus have a good overall picture of such debatable topics.

I am new to herps, but I have spent most my life with horses. We all know that there are 2 sexes, but in horses (I know it is not another sex) they castrate the male horses not used for breeding and call them geldings. Now, unless I am WAY off with the concept of venomoids there is no diffrence between a gelding and this snake. People cannot handle an intact male unless they are trained, smae with the snakes. That dosen't mean that we should all go attack equine.com because they allow people to post Geldings for sale. It is accepted in the horse industry because WAY to many people would die from walking around and riding stallions.

I think that the venomoid thing is just giving more people access to these beautiful animals. The horses don't need there testosterone because we don't all want to breed horses. The snakes don't really nedd their venom when they are CB and are only going to live in a cage. We supply what the venom would have at one time done for them. I guess I look like a real amatuer now, but that is just how I feel.

I love that snake, very beautiful.
