I have been keeping venomous snakes for almost 15 years now. I was bitten once but never put anyone else in danger. No escapes, no close calls etc. my intention was just keep my protocols as it is and keep moving forward with the hobby even after the baby's arrival. Yet after my baby was born, the tiny chance of an escape, or a toddler opening one of locked cages somehow kept me awake for days. Being a father changes your mentality drastically and you have to think even the highly improbable.
So there wasn't any planning mistake here, everything was according to plan. I just changed after I had my son in my arms...
