:I'm convinced that the best beginner venomous is a nonvenomous species that looks and acts like whatever venomous species you want to keep. After you've gotten confident handling those animals with safety tools, you'll be much more confident using those tools safely on venomous snakes.

OK then MsTT, which non-venomous would you recommend as an analog to Crotalids? I have experience handling buzzers from the rescues I have done over the years, and am interested in keeping one of those beauties in my collection. (I'm in Southern California, so those are the Crotalids I'm used to.)

BTW - I read your site on hot care and found your classification system very useful and entertaining as well. I don't think that any two words can be more descriptive than "greased spaghetti"...... :)
