Rufous-Beaked SNake

[Ophiuchus]

Yeah...don't quote me on it, but I would think if hoggies can fly in CA, any rear-fanged colubrids should be fine.

However, I'm cannot condone or condemn that you simply assume and get one of these snakes without confirming their legality.

Hi,yes it is a cute snake!

Ophi,in the artical it says they kill both through envonomation and constricting.Assuming they are rear fanged,and their are no stats of ppl getting bit and sick or anything,are they legal in the states all together or do you think Cali is a no.I would think since they need to chew to inject then maybe they are ok.I guess anyone can answer this I just know Ophi was into them a bit.

they are not listed as venomous in FL so i suppose that you can keep them most anywhere but you might want to check with your state first because i know that it can vary. also the fact that someone is free handling it probably means that it is not very toxic. maybe it has a similar venom to a ringneck or hognose snake...

And That is one weird looking snake.
