Now, coral snakes, mojaves, mambas, boomslangs, any of the bothrops, cobras, and most rattlesnakes, I won't be free handling. The risk is too great. Even if you survive which is likely with most listed, the cost of medical bills + insurance is way too ****ing large. I'm not entirely stupid.

I've just always treated venomous snakes as something to avoid. I'm no ophiologist though, so I've never had a reason to put myself at risk.
