>>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?

Actually, red-bellied blacks are not all that dangerous - fatalities are as good as unknown, although a good bite certainly will land you in hospital. Roughly copperhead grade, in other words. If anything, P. porphyriacus would make the ideal introduction to larger elapids.

Tiger snakes are of course highly lethal, but relatively manageable in terms of size and speed, as large elapids go.
