First i'd like to say hello to everyone, just made an account on this forum.

After 20 years of having constrictors I've recently decided to do some research and consider getting my first HoT. I apologize if any any of my terminology is wrong, i'm learning as I go.

I've done quite a few searches and from what I gather it's legal to have a venomous snake just illegal to sell them in my state. But that's about as retarded as all the other Virginia laws lol.

Part of my preparation to getting any pet is finding a vet that will be able to take care of him/her if any medical attention is ever needed. With that being said I can't find any vet within a 4 hour drive that is willing or has any experience to treat a venomous snake.

I live in Alexandria, VA 22309 so i'm at the northern tip of Virginia. I don't have a problem with driving to Maryland, Pennsylvania or West Virginia as long as it's with in a 4 hour drive.

I've only took one of my snakes to a vet in the past 20 years and that was to have her probed many years ago. So not all that concerned about the vet being close, chances are i may never actually need to go there. I just want to make sure there is one if i need it.
