Do as Sylvias said. You'll be able to progress much faster with hots that way as you shouldn't develop many, if any, bad handling practices if you have a good mentor.

If you're set on getting a snake to practice using a hook, then get a WC Amazon tree boa as they tend to display a decent range of behaviors that give you a bit of preparation for more than just arboreal hots. An ATB will most certainly latch on to you if it gets the chance to do so, and it's not a fun bite at all. A WC blood python isn't as good of a trainer.

Also, mangrove snakes are pretty hot for being rear-fanged & all, and there are recorded instances of severe bites that were comparable to a severe copperhead bite.

The ATB is a good idea. I was unaware of any recorded mangrove snake bites being so severe. Who documented that. It is not that I don't believe you I would just like to read it.
 
Silvias and Ryan are tottally correct. If you want to go hots,get a mentor and don't play hots with non hots.it is apples and oranges.

A hortulanos ( ATB ) is agressive enough for what you want.

And, yes, envenomaion by rear fanged Boigas is well documented. Last case i knew a guy nearly lost his thumb...
 
i agree with sylvias. but i hear king ratsnakes work well...
