The likelyhood of obtaining either species is remote. The more important question is why would compel you (as a beginner) to want to take on two highly deadly snakes?

Those are species that are Extremely dangerous for handlers with years of experience working with venomous. I have worked with venomous for over thirty years and there is no way I would risk snakes like that in my home collection. If you read these forums; what makes you think anyone in their right mind would attempt that without extensive (supervised) training?

I would suggest picking something a lot less Lethal and learning to safely work with that before even considering working with very fast and mobile snakes that could kill you easily.
