White lipped tree vipers

James if you mean me check my website. That has a lot of my personal collection on there.

Can I give you some advice, stay off the forums. It wasn't long ago I was your age and had an interest of venomous snakes but all I did was look up species, no specific care info I was just getting a feel for what species I had a natural interest in. I focused on the present time and learnt all I could on the snakes I had in my collection at the time and slowly progressed into venomous over years. Search the forums, you won't find immature posts from me hassling experienced venomous keepers yet I'm here today keeping everything from Asian arboreal vipers to Black Mambas.
You will learn far more in books than you will on here and not only that you can't shoot yourself in the foot with a book but with a keyboard you’re an ace shot. What I'm saying is as some highly respected individuals have already mentioned everything you say now will come back to bite you on the arse in a few years when you want to find a mentor, other venomous enthusiast mates, a council that trust you etc...
Every time you click reply you are digging that hole a bit deeper with you in it. It's not too late to get out but unless you stop this straight away you can as good as forget a future in the venomous community because I guarantee everyone will turn their backs on you (as I think everyone currently has) and no one will deal with you. I supply venomous snakes to private keepers both in the UK and abroad, to shops and zoos. As you are now I wouldn't even let you in my snake room and would certainly never sell you a venomous species. That's saying something as many people on here will know I have a huge passion for my collection and love to share it every time someone comes to visit my place.
The best thing you can do is not reply to this post or the numerous others about you go and buy as many books as you can afford or go to your local library and spend a few months reading them cover to cover. Then see if a local shop will let you work for free on the weekends to gain some practical experience and to get some mentoring from someone with experience. Then maybe try the forums again armed with a new attitude and a bit more experience under your belt.
If you ever want to be taken seriously that is the only way.
I wish you the best of luck with it but if you ignore all the above it’ll be the last thing I ever try to help you with,
