I cannot see people buying snakes that can be captured (and are released) on a daily basis. They are so easy to keep and if there was a slight market for them the snake catchers would be keeping back gravid females and hatching the eggs. I have never once had a request for a Moz spitter.
Are they the most common venomous snake in south africa?
