Who owns venomous snakes/lizards

The care isn’t too much different except you want to have a larger enclosure (to reduce stress and therefore bites) and as little maintenance as possible (I’m not saying neglect, but bioactive when possible is good). Hides are often locked so they can be easily, safely, and quickly removed if needed. I’ve heard that it’s good to velcro a card to the tank so if you are ever bit you can take it to the hospital. It would have information like species (common and scientific names), venom type (hemotoxic, neurotoxic, etc.), effective antivenoms, side effects, and any other useful information.
