Can't argue the beauty and the overall enthusiasm for this species.

IMO, these are big animals when talking venomous. A slip-up with a big Gaboon can be real trouble. I'm not being negative, just darn realistic. I would consider that for sure, as there are some outstanding venomous snakes out there that are considerably smaller and far more survivable if bitten.
