For me, they are a test of and a way to improve my abilities to "read" reptilian body language, as well as truly incredible animals that are just as worthy of time and attention as those that are non-venomous.
That said, keeping hots is definitely not, and should not be, for everyone. It requires and demands a greater level of responsibility and maturity from the keeper, as any mistake that results in a bite or an escape can be damaging to the reptile keeping hobby as a whole.
And there are certain hots that I know I will never be willing to touch, as they are either too fast, too potent, too intelligent, or any combination of the three.
