Beginning in Venomous

I am have asked a few questions on equipment needed, but what is a good snake to begin with? My only choices are Pigmys, Eastern Diamonback, Copperhead, and Cottonmouths due to local laws.

I would first begin with reading I'll never have to touch one and Are you ready for a hot

And actually you can keep Timbers and Canebrakes too, although i would never recommend them as a first hot. Being a fellow Georgian (Marietta), my first hot was a Pygmy, although I think a Copper would have a better choice. Although Coppers are not considered to be deadly, they can cause a great deal of pain and tissue damage and are not to be taken lightly. Be sure that you are 100% certain about keeping hots and train with an experienced keeper. I am working and cannot address this too long, I will try to write more later
