I agree with David, it is very wrong to turn naturally venomous snakes into someones plaything by inserting silicon implants.

Venomoids have been around for quite a while now in the US and Europe and are generally alot more expensive to buy, due to the cost of operations, there are also concerns that by removing the glands and thus the venom, the snake suffers long term, as the venom aids in it's natural digestion process, this hasn't been conclusively proven because cb snakes fed on dead food don't always inject venom, but it would make sense to me.
Obviously the venomoid snakes can also produce normal offspring with venom glands.
Venomoids are still considered to be venomous snakes and you will still need the same catagory licence to keep them!

Very much against it, it's a sad day that a Herp club should promote it by allowing it to be glorified, although I am sure there will be many opponents to it there on the night.
