Okay, I was going to stay out of it but people who spout off like the wrote the book on herpetology, then say "hey I'm studying biology in college" just piss me off... Seriously? Would love to see those references to corns being rear-fanged.

You want some sources to actually educate yourself? Start with Harry W Greene. He DID write the books on herpetology. You might find one called "snakes: the evolution of mystery in nature" pretty frickin useful. I suggest you start with the section on venomous snakes and the morphology of fangs vs teeth.

The point is this. If you want to be reputable, know what you are talking about and back it up with legitimate sources or firsthand experience. Otherwise, sit there and bite your tongue.

and yes, I have a BS in biology and am finishing a masters if you'd like to have a go at me, as well.
