    The way it’s twisting I’d assume it’s a constrictor so probably not venomous. I’m no snakologist though.

          They still have a bit of an “angry brow” and they are technically venomous… but I’ll be damned if they ain’t cute. One of the few snakes that make me feel compelled to snuggle them

            Isn’t the reason they do the bluffing by flaring the hood like cobra and the entire roll up throw tongue out pretend to die if you call out the bluff is because they are not venomous

              They’re mildly venomous, but not enough to harm humans. And they really go out of their way to not bite when threatened.
