It sounds like YOU went through the proper motions and are heavily regulated by your state. Although remember that not all states and keepers are the same. You can justify your animals anyway you want but there’s no reason to have venomous animals. Sometimes we need to pause and realize every hobby has its limits. For example weapons, a normal citizen having a rpg or a tank is too far Also, you said you don’t take your snakes out around your kids. Well what if it escapes? What if your kid breaks into the enclosure? Kids will do stupid crap no matter how many times you tell them not to. Good luck man The only reason I posted is because there are a lot of young/new keepers on here. You creating threads promoting how cool these animals are can result in people getting the wrong idea. 99% of keepers should not keep venomous snakes imo. They should be left to professionals kept for specific reasons such as rehabilitation, education, etc. Keeping deadly animals isn’t cool, it’s stupid. It’s like those people that keep lions and say how they’re big teddy bears until it eats their kid.
Well.... anywho good day and I will leave your threads alone.

I am chill, my hostility that you took is from you coming here and spewing things you have no knowledge on. You did say something false and myself along with one other person pointed it out. You stated hospitals are required to keep antivenin they wouldn't normally stock. That's false, aka you spreading information you have no clue about. Hospitals aren't required to store anything. I don't disagree with the fat that 99% of keepers shouldn't keep venomous, but if you're properly trained, and are smart about it, then it isn't an issue. Also you clearly either didn't read what I said, or didn't comprehend, so I'll bold it for you when I said I don't have kids.. My snake can't escape, that's the reason the enclosures have to be lockable. You can't keep venomous snakes in an aquarium like you can a ball python. You actually have to have proper locking enclosures and if they deem it unsafe. This is also the reason the room is to be locked and closed when you're not in it, and it's to be closed when the snake is out.

If you want to make a better impression, come about things the right way, don't do it like you did. Also take that if junk elsewhere. If I won the lottery, if this happened or that happened. People are going to do what they want to do in the end.
