Is it possible to be envenomed by a snake that is venomoid?
Depending on the nature of the surgical procedure performed on an individual snake, and the competency with which the procedure was carried out, there may be a small risk of envenomation if you are bitten by a venomoid. This risk is more serious in the case of snakes that have simply had their venom ducts ligated or removed, rather than snakes who have undergone adenecotomy – the complete removal of both venom glands and/or the ducts.
