Mild Vens

[ThEmAdHaTtEr]

hey guys, I have a bit of a question about mild vens. Night snakes in particular. Ill be getting a desert night snake this summer. They are mild vens..I have athsma so if I get bit an I in even more danger? From what Ive read/heard night snakes are harmless to humans because their venom isnt potent at all. Wat might happen if I am bit? Thanks all!

http://www.werc.usgs.gov/fieldguide/hyto.htm no danger at all unless your allergic as far as I know they are even less toxic or aggressive than hogs

Thats sweet...Any way I can find out if I'm alergic or not? T%hanks rev.

do you have severe reactions to ants, bees, or other more common mild venomos species? If not you probably aren't allergic. The for sure answer can only be stated by a Dr. that has done an allergy test on you bro, but generally if your allergic to one venom you would allergic to all. To get myself in trouble I would venture a guess that the night snake has a toxic saliva similar to others that seem to exibit similar characteristics, but never kept one an am far from an expert.
