P.S. Now you need some Rhynchophis!
Yeah, some of the other Philodryas species have caused some relatively bad envenomations, but symptoms were mostly just prolonged swelling of the limb that was bitten and localized pain. There are reports of more severe envenomations too, but all the reported P. baroni bites have been a little edema with no systemic effects. I will be taking the necessary precautions when I do handle them, but the breeders that I've talked to about baroni have never had one bite in defense before, not even the babies.

I want some Rhynchophis in the future too, but these guys will help quell the urge to get more non-BP snakes for a little while . If they ever get here that is!
