Out of curiosity, why do you want to own a "hot" snake? Do you have quality medical that can take care of you if you were to be bitten? Also, do you have the means to pay the medical bills?

Your best way to get experience is to find someone who has been working with venomous for over 10 years, and help them out. I say 10 years because that is, in my opinion, long enough to begin to understand the venomous snakes. They have a lot more experience you can learn from, then someone who has owned a venomous snake for only 5 years. Even after 10 years anyone can make a stupid mistake and be tagged.

Personally I have no desire to keep venomous, so that is all I can offer for advice. I have nothing against those that do keep them, especially if they are the one who are out there milking the snakes and providing the venom necessary to save the lives of others that are bit.
