I suggest working with a mentor and see what works for you.

There a lot of things to consider such as security, family members, local laws, and protocols.

If you search hot herp forums you will see this topic has been addressed many times with many opinions.

Anaphylactic Shock resulting in a bite from a "not as toxic snake" can do you in just as easily as a highly venomous snake bite.
