what kind of training, if any, did you guys do before getting your own venomous?



i want to be a herpetologist, and i will most likely be working with these animals, and i would like to keep some in my own private collection.



what do you guys recommend for first-time vens?

(i dont plan on keeping them for a few years at least)



finally, does anyone know any big time venomous keepers in northwestern PA that may let me do some shadowing/training?



i have gotten some offers from people on the other side of the state, but no luck there...thats a 5 - 7 hour drive...and not realistic for a high-school student.



thanks

jessica
