That cotton and copper have been used and displayed for many people ranging from the local nature center to sports shows (the local one here got tired of the abuse of the rattlesnake roundup animals that used to be brought in and now they take a more educational route). They're used to being around people and don't tend to freak out, but keep in mind that I was still at a safe distance to avoid a bite even if those snakes took a turn for the worse. One year some of my snakes saw the faces of 20,000 people (no joke). Keeping venomous has nothing to do with nerve, or other body parts. It all has to do with using common sense and care. And the cottonmouth and the copper both had a full photo shoot prior to me getting my photos with them, and they're quite used to camera flash .
