Not much as in personally keeping them, but a few friends who keep Easterns, Red Bellys and Tigers. Totally fascinating animals!!! One day I'll look into either a RBB or a Tiger...or maybe a Copperhead...oh Geeez...maybe one of those Speckled Browns, what a peice of work those are!
You're heading into a fascinating area of herpetology for sure - be safe and good luck!

(ps: remember to post some pics!
