You can't legally own snake venom unless its processed for anti venom
Maybe if you found a herpetologist who handles venomous snakes you could ask him to come and help with your display. It is legal but no responsible doctor or scientist is going to give a stranger a vial of snake venom and let him walk off with it.
So long as you can find someone who will sell it to you I's legal. It's not that hard milking a snake, but for goodness sake don't let it get you.
