First of all, I don't recommend the keeping of venomous species for anyone. And I am VERY selective of who I train in handling and husbandry. But my first hot was a Dusky Pygmy Rattlesnake.

My first venomous snake was a northern copperhead. Now a days whenever I get the itching to keep venomous I take a look at this page: http://www.venomousreptiles.org/articles/72
When you keep venomous snakes it's not a matter of *if* you'll get bit, it's only a matter of *when*.

John, that is one of the best articles I've read in awhile. Maybe some people will have a change in plans after reading it.

No doubt... That article is definatly mandatory viewing for the eyes of anyone thinking of dealing with venomous reps... if that doesnt 'persuade' you to keep your wits about you, nothing will... I also say thanx John.. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]

If you look around the SHHS website that the article is on, there is a part II to that article. His wife wrote it [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] It is noce to see two people perspectives on one incident. Anyone that emails me about keeping venomous, I send them that link. Works well. After that, you have to be really serious. Just so you all know, he is doing fine and is slowly getting use back in his hand.
