venomous snake species caresheets?

[Tim and Julie B]

Not to stir the pot, but just because someone does not believe in keeping venomous species does not mean that info should not be provided. I myself don't agree that venomous animals are meant for pets, that's why they are venomous-they want to be left alone-but many people keep them and I'm sure that they would like as much feedback as possible. That (proper husbandry tips) is what will keep this industry alive. Please everyone, this is meant with no disrespect towards those who think venomous species should not be kept-remember, I agree. And for those who keep venomous species-I in no way mean that people should not have them. Hopefully everyone can see how well I'm covering my as* here and not take offense!

Reguardless whether the general population of snake owners like it or not, people own venomous snakes...so...it just seems logical that caresheets should be offered. With knowlegable husbandry comes respect for the species in question (venomous or not) If someone has been around herping for any period of time at all, they will meet many people who own snakes and have really no clue at all about the species care or responcibility that comes with it....

I DO believe in keeping hots (and do). And I do not think that they should be "readily available".

Also, the differnce in the poll results from this thread and the one in the venomous Forum are astounding. Just goes to to show you what Venomous keepers think about it and those that don't keep venomous.
