mangrove snake?

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.

Oh interesting, thanks for the info skip! I guess it persists since people keep bringing it up repeatedly, so we all keep taking it as fact.
