Agree 100%
That psycho blue racer that I had to practice tailing at your place gave me way more fight than your mambas or boomslangs ever offered They were sweethearts in comparison.

IMO, there are 3 pre-requisites for keeping venomous reptiles:
1. A good grasp of basic handling skills and the desire to learn more
2. A good set of tools
3. A healthy respect for the animals you work with
(and keeping venomoids would pretty much tell me that someone doesn't have the third)

Of course, I can't think of any non venomous snakes that would put the fear of God into me like your King.
