Believe me, I know a little bit about what venom can do to people. The hottest snake I intend to work with any time soon is Hognoses, and a Zoo is what I am looking at for a job till I can make snake breeding a career. I understand your concerns, and they are indeed well placed. I believe the age group you're thinking of is about 18-20 something right? I'm on the upper limit of that scale so, yeah, I guess I'd fall into that. No I'm not immune to even hognose venom, so I always take every precaution handling snakes I don't know.
