for those that want to keep venomous, do it NOW ! Because of the ongoing impending restrictions and bans. You might be legal now and not later. On if someone is ready to keep or not, hard to say other than hands on. I really don't know if I was ready 40 years ago but did it and learned some stuff on the way of course. Probably some of the most important aspects to the keeping is cage requirements of non-escaping of hots, tools and just basically know what one is in for if tagged. I COULD say something about the legality of keeping hots of areas but then it would open cans of worms about gun ownership in places like NY and such and other unlawful things. You will get un-responsible keepers of hots like un-responsible dog and other animal/pet keepers. There is basically no difference in my mind. Try to compare the ownership of hots to pit bull and related breeds of dog/bites/attacks. Us venomous keepers are few compared to these breeds of dogs in country whether these dogs are outlawed or not ( mixes of these dog breeds included ).
