"I know it is unwise to keep illegal reptiles, and even more so to keep wildcaught. Venomous to top it off. However, venomous snakes are by far my favorite creatures, and in my opinion, the most deserving of admiration and respect. I intend to do everything and then some to ensure the snake's safety and my own. I would appreciate any advice or information on the species."
You are essentially admitting that you are keeping the animal illegally, from my interpretation at least. This will not garner you respect or pity from most on this board, because it is people like you (keeping snakes illegally, without experience, etc.) who make it harder for people who wish to abide the laws, and have proper experience, to keep these animals. Venomous snakes may be your favorite animals, as they are for most on this board I'm sure, but that doesn't give you a license to break the law and endanger both yourself, your community, and the priveleges of other venomous keepers.
