Supposedly, their venom is the most potent out of all boiga though, so should be taken more seriously- but that's anecdotal, I think, unless anyone has research articles on it.
    There is no way you are going to have an allergic reaction to a venom you have not been repeatedly exposed to. The myth of the spontaneous venom allergy persists..............

    The various boiga species have various venoms. The delivery system of most rear fang snakes (with the exception of thelotornis and dispholidus) is ineffective. A good prolonged chew may give you some minor symptoms, but I can promise you that you will not have an allergic reaction.
