Your question leads me to believe that if you are looking for a safe "pet" venomous snake, you should probably consider a species that is NOT venomous at all. Realize this, any venomous snake can be potentially life threatening depending on where you get bit and your sensitivity level to that particular species' venom. I know you are looking for specific suggestions and LD50 factors will not indicate what species can be safely kept...I would recommend a non venomous reptile.
