Added 6 June 2021.
The following is a guide to articles related to the keeping of venomous animals that have appeared within herpetological magazines within the last few years. It is an ongoing project, ie I am effectively cataloguing these entries myself from the actual magazines, some of which are harder to get hold of than others (especially when they are no longer being published!). The articles listed here are of a general nature covering, eg, laws or precautions. For species-specific accounts (eg on rattlesnake species, look under the relevant species in the appropriate listing on the other pages in this section).
I should stress that this page is here for information and is intended neither to promote nor to condemn the keeping of venomous animals.
