If A mentor is around it is a plus,but not always possible. So if you are willing to dive in , I would say the Jumping Viper would be a good choice,due to the fact that a lesser toxic venom ,and a low metabalism makes it less likely to defacate much reduceing the number of times you would have to come in contact with it. Keep in mind these snakes strike as fast as any,and each persons tollerance to the venom could be different. So make sure you have proper tools ,cage setup wth locking capability.And for no reason you shold not touch with your hands.To many times people get snakes for the wrong reason, dont become a statistic for ego. If it is for education or for your personal enjoyment,I wish you luck ,and enjoy Chris
