Generally private keepers don't milk snakes, venom labs do.
To properly prepare venom that is milked, one would need tens of thousands of dollars worth of lab equipment (freeze dryers) and just a few snakes wouldn't make enough money to cover the expense. It's also dangerous for the snake AND the person doing the milking.
