Well thats pretty awsome that you want to get into the hot side of life, and it sounds as if you have had some experince with hots, right on. I have and most likely will never own a hot and I have no experince with working with them, but I do have some knowledge on afew types in general and I would like to warn you about booms, there like nascars's with fangs and a temper like a F5 tornado. However, if you must work with them I would suggest finding out if your local hospital carrys the anti-venom for booms, and if not , then you should look into which is the closest hospital that carrys. Just to be on the safe side.
