but FWC are rare fang and usually docile they just have to chew on you to inject venom. If it does happen to invanamate it will make you sick but wont kill you. I have thought about getting a FWC and I have even been shopping around for one. a true FWC is a bit pricey but a Chinese FWC is not that bad of a price by what I found...

...What?
Anyway, yes FWC are venomous. They have rear fixed fangs (like a Hognose, for example). Their venom isn't studied too well but it is said to be fairly toxic (close to that of a Timber Rattler) however the delivery system isn't very good.
Everyone reacts to venom differently. Death is absolutely a possability if you happen to be the wrong person. However it is unlikely and there hasn't been a documented case that I have read as of yet.
I am not an expert but I have been doing a lot of reading on these guys for the past couple of years. This is just some of what I have gathered from that research.

Lol I love it!
Yeah the rear fanged snakes can't really hurt you though. Unless you shove your fingers down its throat.
Beardie venom, which is in upper and lower glands near the back of the throat, (yes both species are venomous) is believed to only be mildly harmful since its only purpose is to paralyze or kill live insects as they are being swallowed.

Yes, death is definitely a possability. Just like with Bee stings.
Now I am not saying a bite is like an elapid or anthing, but there's always a risk.
Like I said I am no expert, but anaphylaxis is real with any sort of venom. So I am sure to treat mine with a lot of respect.

X2. Anaphylaxis is a possibility with anything, it just depends on the person. Someone allergic to dogs could be in the same vicinity as one and set it off, just depends on the severity of the allergy and differs from individual to individual, and can even become worse over time with more exposures. So yes, death is always a possibility, but to be honest, every time someone is exposed to something new there's always a risk.

Anaphylaxis CANNOT happen the first time you are exposed to any substance!
