Start with what you are interested in. Start where it is legal to do so. Start with a mentor. Start by being smart about it. Start by doing as much research as possible first. Not just the animals you are interested in themselves, but all the other aspects as well. Such as protocols. Caging, emergencies, anitvenin, etc. Truth be told a good mentor can be priceless. Kind of like learning about boxing and the training that goes along with it prior to any sparring or light fights with headgear on prior to the main event. You wouldn't want to jump in the ring with a conditioned, trained fighter any more than you would want to jump into venomous unprepared. Best of luck to you!
