So some pet shops keep venomous on the premises...and some sell I think....Selling is a different matter and I think retail of Dwa animals does require a special permit...I could be wrong. Do feel free to correct me if i'm wrong on that.

Most councils PSL's cover you for DWA animals without an aditional licence, But some you have to get the DWAL and PSL, in Cornwall they usualy grant it in the PSL.

If you want to view venomous species have you thought about getting a train to say London Zoo?.

London Zoo is VERY tempting....Would be interesting to look at their set ups aswell.

No that is a sweet shop now, I am in the process of getting a grant but they will not issue one for retail in Cornwall at the moment so I have to do it as an internet shop but I am going to open by apointment.

I might be wrong, and would welcome being corrected, but I'll think you'll find that most DWA are either traded at specialist shows on the continent or through private breeders

my local reptile shop in harrogate sells DWA animals - The Creature Feature. theres a gaboon viper, copperhead, spectacled caiman, majove rattlers etc

[pricklytree]

Yes The Creature Feature does have venomous snakes:
