Simple and to the point

To answer the OP's Q .......... NO !
I do find them as fascinating as any other snake though

I am really fascinated by them and would love to keep them, but I know I'll probably never have the money or the training necessary to keep them in total safety conditions. So, as long as it's this way, I'm gonna have to refrain myself from it.
Now, I really love the atheris and other colourful vipers, but they are out of my reach.

Unfortunately, here it's not that easy to see venomous snakes, and is mostly limited to some small bush vipers and kind of old continent garters. I think in the USA it's much easier to come across one. It would be very nice to be able to go herping and see them in the wild.

I would like to share this site, just for pure information purposes and so that all can learn from other countries' herps.
These 5 are the most and only venomous snake species in Spain: http://labarbadedarwin.com/2014/08/1...sas-de-espana/ (sorry, it's in Spanish, but you have the scientific name and some pictures).
Apart from these 5, we only have another 13 non-venomous species:
1. Monspessulanus Serpiente Montpellier.
2. Macroprotodon Cucullatus.
3. Natrix Culebra.
4. Elaphe Scalaris.
5. Elaphe Longissima.
6. Hemorrhois Hippocrepis.
7. Coronella Austriaca.
8. Coronella Girondica
9. Coluber Viridiflavus.
10. Natrix Maura.
11. Vipera Aspis.
12. Vipera Seoanei.
13. Vipera Latastei.

I hope you find this interesting.

Muy interesante. Gracias. ¿Como se dice "corn snake" en español?

(Very interesting. Thanks. How do you say "corn snake" in Spanish?)

We say "serpiente del maíz", "serpiente del maizal" (corn snake) or "serpiente del panizo" (maize snake).

Cool! Nice to see you back. What made you pick that cobra species, out of all of them?

To revisit the original question eight years later- I still am not interested in keeping venomous snakes, although I am happy that there are people who do. I hope we, the herp community, retain that right.

I might like to keep heloderms of some sort- but really I'd rather a friend kept them and I could just go visit.

Doesn't matter what I think of another's religion. There is no need to insult it. You could have easily made your point without doing so.

I will happily insult someone for doing a reckless and potentially dangerous thing regardless of their reason for doing it.

Reckless and dangerous, cruel to animals, AND endangers all our rights to keep venomous and non-venomous reptiles, thanks to their stupid stunts.
