Texas, kept venomous for 2 years with no issues. Only laws related are controlled snake permits for non-native venomous snakes. $20 annually, and it even covers your giants all in one lovely stamp

Mine were for neither leisure nor display. They were part of an education circuit I was preforming around Texas and traveled with me in display boxes for people to observe and learn from. They were handled when I needed for cleaning purposes. And also every so often for white box photography for ID marks as needed. But other than that they stayed off of display in my collection, remained in locked enclosures, and were closely monitored daily to ensure no escapes, trauma, or the likes.

Not something to just jump into as others have put. It's a risky business and the question is not if you get bit but more of when. . . . still contemplating adding a Coral Cobra to my collection soon though . . .
