Are there people keeping venom snake as pet? If yes, why would they take such risk?
What kind of precautions do they take in order to have such dangerous pet?
I know some people might think snake experts can handle venom snakes without ever been bitten. The truth is some kind of accident will eventually happen when interaction with venom snakes for years. One time I saw a TV show about accidents with animals, and a snake expert who works at a lab was bitten by a venom snake. His job was to extract venom from snakes on daily basis, and he had been doing it thousands of times over the years. Another story was a snake farm owner got bitten by a snake and had suffered permanent damage to several of his fingers due to the venom. Accident still can happen. Wasn't there a saying that if you walk on the shore very often, you will eventually get your shoes wet?
