I agree 100% with what was said regaurding learning with an keeping what you are interested in. In my case it is arboreals, so I really had no interest in any of the native hots. Besides having to care for an animal you don't really want, one species really doesn't prepare you for another, they all will have their differences. On top of that, a bite from ANY viper can be potentially fatal.
Your gonna want 2 hooks at least. I prefer different leghths, and I never handle without a hook in each hand. I have a set of tongs, but I only use them to remove water dishes, ect. One thing that hasn't been mentioned that I would highly recomend is a set of tubes. When the time comes, and it will, that you have to restrain the animal for whatever reason, it's far safer for the pointy end to be in a plastic tube as opposed to your hand.
