Whats up ya'll. I was thinking about getting into venomous snakes. Only God knows how many years I have worked with non-venomous reptiles and I think it is time to spice things up. There are a couple of North American Viperidaes on my list. My top 3 are the Canebrake rattler, Timber rattler and the beatiful Southern Copper Head. I know that they have the least toxic venom of all North American Viperidae but I also know they can still pack a pretty powerful punch. I have not delt with venomous snakes much(I have delt with them but not with out a more experienced handler next to me and all my experience has been in the field) so I thought I would start off with the Southern Copper and get used to caring for a venomou because of the fact I don't have much one on one experience and although dangerous they are not as so as the Rattle Snakes. If this is a bad idea or if there is a snake ya'll think would be better for a starter then let me know. I will eventually get a Southern Copper Head so its not like I'm settling. In my eyes they are one if not the most beautiful snakes in the world. I am really interested in all of ya'lls views and opinons. Thanks. SSR.

There is nothing I hate more then a person buying a snake or any animal for that matter and not doing research and relizing what they are getting themselves into. Because of people like that we have such strict reptile and animal laws and they are ruining it for everyone. Not doing research is totally unacceptable and with the internet is super easy to do. There is just no excuse for that!!!
