well, i reccomend getting a water snake or other mean snake, keep it for a year, and if you get bit, start over until you can safely work with it. mangroves are good because they have poor delivery, but are very angry. mine is calmer than most, but alot are phsyco. copperheads are good, realatively calm and fairly mild venom, compared to a diamondback or a fer-de-lance. hots are no more challenging in terms of habitat, its just handling and transport that is incrementaly more dangerous. good luck, and if you want a copperhead, in your area, people will probably call you to get rid of them off of their land if you put the word out.
