Many members of the genus vipera (the european adder Vipera berus)have very mild venom. They can be very difficult to aquire in the US. Also the rinkhals Hemeachatus heamechatus cobra has a fairly mild venom compaired to othe elapids. It is however a spitter and eats frogs in captivity. I too would recomend a captive bred copperhead or mabe a pigmy rattlesnake or a sidewinder even. Don't rush into venomous snakes take your time. Keep some really mean amozon tree boas and cribos , racers, watersnakes , a reaaly nasty blood python. Thats what I have done. Also try to aquire a permit if nessasary in your state. It makes the hobby look bad if people keep animals iligitemately (as dumb as the laws are its alway better to try and follow them).
I hope this is helpful
