Because so many of my friends here have asked about what hots my fiance and I have acquired, I decided to start a thread about them. I will say at the very start of this, that I would not recommend anyone to keep venomous snakes. While they are legal in many states and cities (including mine), they are a very serious hobby to take up, and require a conscious, tough decision from the keeper and everyone in his/her family. Anyone that may come to visit you lays their life in your hands every time they set foot in your house. By keeping venomous snakes, you are making the decision to risk your life and the lives of the other people and pets that live with you, EVERY SINGLE DAY. It's a big weight on one's shoulders. However, when everyone agrees to accept the risk and responsibility, venomous snakes can be some of the most rewarding and beautiful captives.
