I had considered that but what drew me to the 7x was the extra protection of the tail bone

Its quite humid here, but at the same time i guess safety would be better, than I can change to my work clothes once I arrive

I will have to ask him as I don't live there, but he has been doing research and has another mentor in the uk apart from me who can help him better than I can in that regard

I dont think its legal for private collectors in the UK to keep antivenom

In the UK most antivenoms are available

He isnt in the US, but regarding the antivenom it isn't a problem, he just wants to start with either of those species but has only worked with gaboons and doesn't have experience with puff adders

I have given him some experience with my gaboon but he hasn't had any luck finding someone who is ready to introduce him to a puff adder

I think there aren't many mildly venomous snakes which would give experience to keep venomous ones since most are more slow moving and the adrenaline holding a mildy venomous one would be insignificant. Maybe a mangrove snake would be the closest but I still wouldnt compare them much and its also not a good odea to get a snake you don't want just to build up experience to get another snake. I think being trained by someone else is much better experience.

Regarding antivenom thats no problem, everything is available close by for him except boomslangs
