the venom ban be dangerous if you are allegic to it, they will usually eat rodents in captivity, and they need a huge enclosure(4 feet high,3 foot long, 2 foot wide would be the least amount of space i would even think of for these snakes) also they are canbilistic so they shouldnt be housed together, and if the law says venomous it would include mangroves since they are venomous. but i have been in a few states were venomous snakes are illegal to keep but i saw rear fangwed snakes for sale in that state. mfezi.com has some forsale by the way hope i helped
