When i was 8 years old i was stung by one of my dads scorpions (Leiurus quinquestriatus), It may be because i was young or maybe it was as painful as i remember. All i can say is it was blinding! I collapsed and was taken to hospital. It put me off ever having anything so venomous. This was before DWA's were in place, so getting a scorp with a dangerous neurotoxin was as easy as getting a bearded dragon. Thankfully he gave them up after that. Iv been thinking of white lipped vipers but the memory of that little death stalker slaps me back to scene! Iv got nothing but respect for those who keep/work with venomous snakes. More spine than me guys!!

My point is, it does not take someone with balls to keep venomous reptiles and those who keep venomous are not elite... It comes down to mostly respect for what you are keeping, lots of common sense, and learning how to handle and properly maintain them... I have gone 15+ years without a bite and I attribute that to what I mentioned above... If a keeper it bitten, it is ALWAYS the keepers fault... Some people say it isnt if you get bitten, its when you get bitten... I do not believe that for a second... As long as you are careful and do not take silly risks, you are safe from having a part of you in the snakes mouth...
