Are you thinking of getting into the business of selling venom or you just want to do it once to say you did it?

If you want to get into the business, the general concensus seems to be "good luck". If there were a living to be made at it, half the people here would be doing it...which would drive down the price and they would all go bankrupt anyway...

If you just want to try it, I doubt you'll find anyone who will want to help you until you've had a few years of experience and your own snakes. It's about the most dangerous thing you can do with a venomous snake (other than possibly free-handling).
