Are you experienced in handling and keeping HOTS?

If you do not think they are venomous, I would suggest reading this abstract:

There venom is comparable to that of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake in lab tests. However, the snake is rear fanged and delivers a smaller amount of venom. Alot of people see FWCs as a steping stone when learning how to handle venomous snakes because they are generally docile. I actually looked into getting one at a time because i had read of their wicked feeding responce, but was completely turned off by the 'venom' part.

There is alot of information out there.....a quick search will get you tons.
