The short answer is no, there isn't a really good starter venomous snake. I don't think so anyways. Some may disagree with me. Even the copperhead, which most usually suggest as a good "starter" hot, can have devastating effects; i.e. missing digits. The best advice I can think of for anyone getting into venomous is to find a responsible mentor near you; whether they actually train you with hands on or just show you. That would be the best bet. If nothing like that is available, maybe try a rear-fanged snake, such as a mangrove. I have seen pictures of a particularly nasty looking bite from one, but overall, it won't kill; barring the possibility of an allergic reaction of course. Their attitude might aid in getting you more prepared for some more serious snakes. Again, the mentor route is the best, and most responsible way to go. That's my take on it anyways. -Jamie
