    To OP: And If they specifically state family Boidae there You are fine with Pythons as well because the are form family Pythonidae...
    and If You wanna play with them even more You Should be fine with most Central American Dwarf Boas as well because they are from family Tropidophiidae

    Yes.

    In addition to being rear-fanged venomous and having caused documented human fatalities from bites, Rhabdophis Tigrinus secretes a poison from it's nuchal glands. The poison is sequestered from toxins ingested from the toads they eat.

    Diadophis punctatus (ringneck snakes) also secrete a poison from their cloaca. Animals ingesting it can become very ill. Last I heard, studies were still being performed regarding the toxicity of these secretions.
