I hate to present the typical "asshole" reply, so I'll try and do it as nicely as possible.
The questions you are asking are ones you should already know the answers to BEFORE you get the snake, as they are pretty basic husbandry related questions on a snake for which there is a decent amount of information available.
Secondly, from what I can gather from your post, venomous snakes are illegal to possess in your area. This does not mean they are illegal to purchase. I can think of no city, county, or state that allows one to possess venomous reptiles but not purchase them (with the exception of individuals grandfathered in states where bans or severe restrictions have been passed...but they had the snakes BEFORE the law was passed, which is not the case in your situation). Therefore, just because you can't buy them at a show and take them home doesn't mean that you can catch them in the wild and keep them. The ban is on possession, not purchasing.
Perhaps you should rethink your entry into this hobby.
