Starting with hot snakes..

[Kyle Walkinshaw]

Hey, I was just curious if anyone could tell me how I could go about trying to get the permits for keeping venomous snakes. Other than catching wild Massassaugas (not keeping) in the summer I have no real experience with any hot snakes and would like to hear some suggestions of what would be a good thing to start with. I am 16 years old and I am currently keeping several colubrids and boids and have been for the past four years and as my collection is growing I am looking for something a little more challenging. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Kyle-
