Also take into consideration i am going to school to work with these animals (both venomous and non venomous) so i am going to gain experience along the way. It is a dangerous profession but so is being a soldier in the United States Army, but im sure you wouldn't go as far to say that they should stop what there doing simply because its dangerous. I apologize for using profanity directed towards you, but none of your posts will change my mind on my ownership of dangerous animals.

i hope you stick around. lots to learn and you will (eventually) have some fun around here! yes, i was being harsh on you, but only because i didn't want you to have such a relaxed attitude towards a hot - whether it be a copperhead or a brown snake, venom is venom and it's all bad. i just want you to respect their power. if you do that, you are taking a step in the right direction. believe it or not, i was trying to look out for you and anyone else that may enter your household. i also applaud you for furthering your education in regards to these incredible animals we all love.
that being said.... i am glad you started off with a copperhead. while it is true that most bites do not end in death, and a lot of times no antivenin is administered, you never know how YOUR body will react to their venom.
in another thread i mentioned that i had kept venomoids for 10 years, but i have over 15 years total experience with hots. i no longer keep them. yes, everybody starts out somewhere, but it took me a good 5 years after even WANTING a hot, before i actually got one.
i accept you apology, thank you. i know you got carried away, as did i. when are we going to see photos?????
