This is strictly a curiosity thread at this point, as I just want to learn more about a species that has caught my eye. Any info will be appreciated.
So, as the title says, the mangrove snake has caught my eye. I absolutely love the black and yellow, and their size is in the range I personally enjoy keeping.
That being said, they are rear-fanged and mildly venomous from what I have read. Does anybody know if they are classified as venomous? Are they even legal in MA? Or are they classified like hognose snakes?
How does their bite compare to that of a hognose concerning the effect on humans?
I have also read varied things on them being nippy but able to calm down with time, patience and regular handling...right up to saying they are unhandleable.
I haven't added one to the wish list just yet, but darn they are beautiful and intriguing.
Anybody keeping mangroves?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance...
