Venomous Yes Or No?

I thought I'd post this question in the General Herp rather than Venomous because I thought this part of the forum was getting more attention.

Anyways, Are you into Venomous or not. Just a question that came to my head when I was thinking of if I would ever purchase a Venomous. My answer is no. I like them but I wouldn't want to risk anything with them.

Ps: Please write down in your reply Yes OR No. (I tryed to get a Voting Poll up but it didn't work.)

I Am in the same boat as you, I like them but I wont risk having one. There are plenty of really cool non-venomous snake species out there.

I agree with both of you. Another reason would be because I couldn't hold it I guess.

Done


If I could I would own a Cobra or a Gaboon Viper but since I am easily distracted and get bit a lot already, no I will never own one for obvious reasons :rolleyes: but wish I could.

The poll worked for me... But I put no.

IMO many of them are beautiful, but it's just not a risk I'll ever take. I'll get my venomous fix by living vicariously through Viperkeeper.

I never in a million years thought I would own venomous animals. I always said when I started with pythons that I didnt like venomous and even the past couple of years going to shows I always just kind of walked right on past venomous snakes but the last 2 years Ive really gotten into them and I believe as long as you are extremely careful they are no dangerous then pythons or any other snake. Of course you can not hold them or interact with them like you would nonvenomous snakes but they I think they are amazing display animals. I could sit in the snake room for hours just watching our cobra.

After seeing some of the venoumous snakes out there some day I may get a albino cobra. But other then that probably not. Besides right now I have a 1 year old child would not want the potential risk in my house same reason i dont have a gun. I have nothing against them just dont think it is my best intrest.

I voted yes, cause I am into them, but I don't have any. I think I may one day, but that's pretty far in the future. I have a friend who's got some timber rattlers and they fascinate me

It's just not worth the risk to me.
