Experience & carefulness is the best Regulation. I try to handle my venomous when I have PLENTY of time & NO distractions.

If you really want to shoot yourself up with something, sell your snakes & try heroin. That way, unnecessary deaths won't reflect on snake lovers. There are already too many people trying to outlaw the keeping of venomous species. Let's not open the door & invite these people in.

If you are 100% serious about envenomating yourself, I strongly urge you to #1 seek professional help from someone HIGHLY EXPERIENCED, #2 get a better insurance policy(just in case)HaHa, and #3 don't start showing off if you actually get an immunity. This could possibly deceive others into thinking that the venomous are really not as dangerous. I'd hate to be responsible for someone else thinking they could safely get bit by your snake.(Some people are actually stupid enough to think this).

Anyway, my opinion doesn't amount to much, but there you have it. Sorry about the smart@ss comment about the heroin. Couldn't help myself.
