Yeah I know what you mean, cos theres alot about successful keeping and pictures of hots in captivity, but not so much about when it all goes wrong, spectacularly wrong in some circumstances with devasting consequences and the dangers are very real, one mistake could be your last in extreme circumstances and depending on the snake.

For the last year before I started keeping I read alot of bite reports and effects of venom, and if your not 100% sure then it will put you off, I think all hot keepers are anxious about what if they got bit to some extent, but its a healthy respect more than an all out fear, I know for a fact if I didnt feel I was able to work safely with my animals then they would be gone.

im not going to argue about it with you. You asked for locations, i mentioned they have run them, last one i heard of was year before last so is always worth checking out.Especially since from all reports i've heard it was very good. If you dont want advice why ask?
