Sorry but, if you hav to ask where to get a care sheet for an animal, my personal opinion is that you should't try keeping it in the first place!
Don't be offended by this, fact is there are very few so called care sheets that give an accurate picture of how to CARE for an animal. These sheets are often wrong on some points. With a non-venomous species that's O.K. but when the care sheet advises you to do one thing, and your snake wants something else (for instance relative humidity or temperature) you are in seriuos trouble. (not to mention handling the animal yourself).
My advise is that you get in contact with venomous keepers willing to answer all your questions, and show you the ropes on caring for these animals. Don't be afraid to ask stupid questions, everybody's done that at some point, and that's O.K.
Only after talking with a few experienced people you might wanna try it yourself
Good luck and have fun

Trimeresurus Albolabris require a tropical setup climbing branches lots of leaves and humidity. I use peatmoss for the substrate it helps keep the humidity up. The temperature needs to be kept at 80 during winter months all the time. I mist my albolabris at least twice a week. A shallow water dish is also needed. I recommend both temperature and humidity gages. Should the humidity get too high you will have mold forming inside the enclosure not good. I remove the Albolabris once a month to clean and disenfect the enclosure all climbing branches, leaves and water dish. Keep one thing in mind Albolabris are very aggressive and they will have no problem biting the hand that feeds them. They will attack when they get mad. I have had my Albolabris climb up the hook trying to bite. These snakes will lure you in acting laid back then when you are within stiking range you get nailed. They will also sometimes stalk moving very slowly towards you just like you were a mouse.
What will Albolabris venom do? Your hand and arm will swell almost double normal size vomiting usually occurs. If the venom load is high, tissue near the bite will turn black, blood blisters also form infection well set in. Surgery to remove damaged tissue and skin graphs are very likley. Albolabris sleep during the day most of the time and are very active at night. Albolabris are not play toys keep that in mind.
