Of course I use a hook when handling them, safety first. They are rear fanged and mildly venomous.  A nasty snake is actually easier to handle, because you know where they are coming from.  I just got them so I have only handled them a few times.  They will be handled for cage cleaning and feeding time and at shows, other than that I do not handle my snakes just for fun.

Thanks Tara
No, thank you Jerry.  I read a bunch about them last night as well as several other venomous species.  I am not sure what websites that you recommend for people to read about venomous species, but I was just browsing and came upon www.venomous.com.  It seems that the mangroves are just mildly venomous to humans according to this article that I found, http://www.news.vcu.edu/vcu_view/pages.aspx?nid=1732, where a doctor is studying the venom for it's uses as far as human therapeutic drugs.  Kinda neat what you can find on www.google.com lol!! 

Thanks again for posting ;D

I normally research and ask experts when I want to know about something.  My information comes from a wide variety of places, Experts, internet, books and personal research projects.  I never trust just one source, justr because it is printed or on the internet, doesn't mean it is correct.

That's very true.  I don't know many "experts" on venomous quite yet, just browsing around for now ;)

Unforunately Jerry decided that the Dark Side wasn't the place for him so we can admire his pets, but he won't be responding.
