I don't know what link you came across but devonomizing a snake is nothing compared to declawing a cat. Did you even read the links I posted? There are many many venomoids out there kept in the herp trade. They do not starve to death.

They are not using the animal for entertainment purposes, but for educational purposes. Do you know how many of these snakes would be killed each and every day if the parents did not teach their children early on to respect them? They would be out there slaughtering snakes all the time!
