      Nah, these noodles mainly use strangulation to kill their prey, they just strike it first to get it in close- it just needs to detach itself from itself and it will be okay

      I read that snakes are not very sensitive to their venom. It will probably just be a painful nuisance for her.

        The way it’s twisting I’d assume it’s a constrictor so probably not venomous. I’m no snakologist though.

              They still have a bit of an “angry brow” and they are technically venomous… but I’ll be damned if they ain’t cute. One of the few snakes that make me feel compelled to snuggle them

                Yeah, it just make me go “aww what a sweetie, just who wouldn’t want you to bite 'em dead, awww”

                Isn’t the reason they do the bluffing by flaring the hood like cobra and the entire roll up throw tongue out pretend to die if you call out the bluff is because they are not venomous

                  They’re mildly venomous, but not enough to harm humans. And they really go out of their way to not bite when threatened.
