Venomous Snakes & Training

RMB68 Aug 17, 2011 10:29 AM

I would like to learn how to handle many types of venomous snakes. At the present time, I do not own any, but I would like to. I will not purchase a venomous snake until I can learn how to properly handle it.
I am wondering if there is anyone in the OKC area that will spend time with me to show me how to handle these dangerous animals and allow me to have hands on training as well, when that person feels I will be able to handle it.
I admit I am a noob with venomous snakes, but I have grown up with King Snakes and have owned 2 Ball Pythons myself. As a female, one would think I should be afraid of snakes, but on the contrary, it's only spiders I fear. :D
If anyone knows someone that can assist me in the handling of venomous snakes, please let me know.
Thanks RMB

Hell Al,

Kingsnake will be running ads for this event as a sponsor of sorts. Feel free to share away here! I personally can not WAIT to be there.
