I’m certainly not the most experienced keeper here, but I did start quite young with native diamondbacks, moccasins, pygmys and corals here in Florida. I actually had a permit back when it was five bucks, and got it as a sixteen year old. I had kept many types of harmless snakes, including some that were quite feisty and a challenge to maintain. I would recommend having a lot of experience with these types (water snakes, coachwhip, cribo, etc.) go beyond keeping corns, boas and those easily tamed types before you get in over your head. I was quite comfortable with my first venomous because I had worked on eye caps, assist sheds, etc with some very aggressive non-venomous first. I really think that counts a lot more that your age. It should be a natural progression.
