I am getting a Canebrake and they are neurotoxic. Green majave is also neurotoxic. I don't know if you like Crotalids but these two species have a mixture of neurotoxins and hematoxins.

You might try filling out your profile so that we could see who is asking.
I absolutely refuse to recommend any venomous animal to an anonymous entity that could turn out to be an unskilled 14 year old kid with no experience.

What do you already have in your collection Webdevil? Or is it alright if I call you Evilspidey?

I took your advice and filled out my profile. I collect weird things and have lots of room to ensure they are safe. I've handled a lot of snakes and have a cottonmouth that somehow wandered into my yard. It spaked my interest in starting a small collection. I hope that doesn't make me seem sick but I like snakes.

Well, some, not all, Canebrakes & Mojaves have neurotoxic venom. But some do indeed. I would recommend the Canebrake over the Mojave though. Although the Canebrake generally get bigger, they aren't nearly as aggressive as Mojaves. You don't wanna be bit by either of them. I am not sure of your experience level, but most of your elapids have neurotoxic venom. But they can be difficult for even the most experienced people at times. If you're new to it, stick with something that isn't very aggressive or as fast as elapids, if possible or at least until you better yourself with the proper tools used for such animals. Would also be better to start with a young "what ever you choose" that way you can get used to it a little before it is to big to deal with. This is just my opinion.

Hey just a word of caution- I noticed you're from s. FL where a venomous permit is required. Unless you have a permit you might want to remove any indications that you have venomous animals from your profile.

Another good idea is to be aware of the rules for keeping Hot reptiles in Florida. Do you have the required permits??
Florida:
Native Venomous: Permit required
Exotic Venomous: Permit required
Protected Native Venomous: None
