vipers?

Many states require permits or liscences so check local laws, it is probably also best to get a bad tempered nonvenomous snake first to get used to the idea of very cautious handling. Some places require annual inspections of where and how they are kept and you are responsible for anyone who gets bitten, EVEN A BURGLAR!
mmm i agree with davoo they are really cool to keep..but they are a looking snake...but they are all over the interweb and check ur local laws
Hots arent to be taken lightly by anyone. Glad you'd rather not, but most herp keepers do at somepoint. Anyone smart enough to ask questions about it is probably smart enough to not kill himself 
Once I'm out of college I think I'll tackle eyelash vipers, monocled cobras, waglers vipers, pygmy rattlers, or even beaded lizards if I can get my hand on a pair.

a guy around me had a pair of guillas for sale, but i never knew exactly how poisoness they were so never even asked about them
if i had experiance and money i would get me a couple green tree vipers, man those are awsome
There are lots of snakes that can be labeled as 'greem tree vipers'. I prefer Waglers/Temple vipers and yellow eyelashes over the plain green species.
Gilas go for over $1000. I dont believe they have caused deaths, but the capability is there for a sick, young, elderly, or pregnant person. They might have caused deaths though, I wouldnt doubt it, especially with so many rich idiots runnin' around these days..
He should need to tell you the exact toxicity of its venom (poison is different than venom, by the way). You should know it IS venomous, and stay away. Even if an animal isnt deadly under normal circumstances, you never know.
Plus I dont think you just have $1000 laying around

that was a while ago, around the time my LFS used to get FRTs in, so they were alot cheaper, but even if i had the money i wouldnt have gotten them then, never knew about them.
