Meh...there's reptile show at the Alario center in a few weeks. You can walk in off the street and buy Gaboon Vipers for $75, Monacled cobras for $125, etc.

They use the LD50 to determine how venomous something is. This means that for a given amount of venom 50% of a people (or whatever test subject) would be killed. (edit: LD50 is expressed as mg/kg. Milligrams of substance per kilograms of subject weight) E.g. If a snake's venom has an LD50 of 1 gram/(average human weight) and if the snake can inject up to 3 grams of venom then it can be said that a single bite can have enough venom to kill 3 people. This way of viewing things is problematic in a variety of ways. One of which is that testing on mice is used to determine the LD50, and that data is used to extrapolate the effects on a human using the size difference between humans and mice.
The whole thing is mostly just there to sound sensational. From a factual perspective it is of very limited use.

You've got to be pretty psycho to keep those kind of snakes at your house and allow them to escape frequently.

Well, you just leave out important parts of a sentence, and you can totally change the meaning of quoted words. You actually did it very well.
Is paypal ok?

I don't understand the purpose of having a snake, especially a venomous one, as a pet. Makes zero sense to me
