Default Venomous training

I have wanted to keep DWA species for quite some time now and I intend on doing so in the not too distant future.

My only hold back is; I don't have enough experience in handling such animals to make me comfortable enough to own one.

I have quite a bit of experience with non-venomous species and would like to migrate to venomous.

I am not an idiot, nor a dreamer. I am a sensible, intelligent person and tend to learn very quickly.

If there is anyone who would care to share their knowledge with me on a one to one basis and show me the ropes of venomous snake keeping (more handling to be honest with you) I would be most appreciative if you could you PM me please.

NB: I know there is a course that runs in Bristol, but it is VERY expensive.

Thank you for your time,
Lee

I already have done - I would love for him to mentor me.

He suggested you, however.

No offence intended Si, but its probably best that you aren't just yet, it takes a lot of practice to be a competent and safe handler.
