falsies are like no other snake i've ever handled! personally i'm more comfortable handling a monocled cobra than a false water cobra lol. those things are full of piss and vinegar. its the only snake i've ever seen fully crawl backwards. yes backwards. not just withdrawing part of their body back but actually crawl backwards. I do not keep them but have a couple friends that breed them and they are a very awesome snake in their own rights. as far as venom they are very mild unless you happen to be allergic or allow it to chew on you for a period of time. i'd say no worse than a hognose snake in that department honestly. just keep in mind that they have an extremely high prey drive and move non stop.
