From the standpoints of aggression, venom potency, price, and rarity, which venomous snake would you consider the worst, or better stated based on the above what snake wouldn't you want to own?

Aggressive,potent,expensive, and rare snakes are what most of the expierianced people here look for.Maybe I misunderstood your question?

No I guess I mean which one is too much. I'm sure its different for individual handlers. I don't own or handle snakes, and originally came here for education but am now fascinated by venomous ones.

I would love to own the baddest, most toxic, most expensive snake in the world so I guess I couldn`t answer your question.
Cheers

I would agree with Andrew to a point.I have heard that Inlands can become quite placid.They are nearly impossible to obtain though.There are many snakes that I could put down (Bushmasters,Aspers, PNG Tiapans)Though Aspers arent that hard to get ahold of they are very dangerous! I can say that I have chosen not to keep them at this point.......Trey

it matters on size and whats available at the time,besides of course rarity.
bushmasters,adult kings top the list. you can then consider morphs,like leucistics,albinos,etc. i think mitch was originally selling his leu. monacleds for 5000.00!! adult black mamabas can go for a high price sometimes.
all in all,bushmasters would have to be the highest,i think.

Yea the Morphs can fetch alot.As for non morphs the rarer Bitis such as Bitis parvicula - Ethiopian Viper are pretty pricy.I would love to have one :) or 3.......Trey

Last time I saw a couple of Inland Taipans for sale, they were asking $12000 each! I'd love to have a couple of these, but unless a bag of cash falls off a passing armored car, I'll have a hard time justifying the price.
As far as what would be too much, I can't think of anything I would not want to work with...BUT I don't think I would be comfortable working with a record size King or Black Mamba IN MY CURRENT SNAKE ROOM. It's 10'X12', and the free space wouldn't be enough to manouver.
