Incredible looking animal! :eek:

[Vanan]

OMG! You keep posting these species I'd give a right arm for! No fair! C'mon stop teasing us and tell us how we get our hands on some of these man! Aah Dinodons! Any chance of getting your hands on other rear-fanged stuff?

[Angus Lee]

Oh! Come on, Vanan. You know me, I don't tease people like this!

So, you like rear-fanged? Dinodon is nice, I can't wait to find an albino. It should look like some kind of albino milk snake...

[Invictus]

WOW... totally cool Sith Snake. :D

[Vanan]

Yea, I like rear-fanged snakes. Why? You got some? ;)

[Tim_Cranwill]

Man, that IS the coolest looking snake EVER!!!!! :D

Anyone know if there are any in North America?

EDIT: Just for the record, Darth Maul was in Episode I, not Episode II. ;)

[Clownfishie]

WOW! :D That is one amazing looking snake... absolutely killer!

Definitely Darth Maul-ish ;) Just look at that face! LOL...

I must say i prefer the normal coloring

any info on how bad thier bite is? Whats shipping restrictions like? Do you have some general info on them?

Hi Derrick,

We haven't looked at the venom of that particular genus (yet) however, we have looked at a pretty big array of other venoms from a variety of species in the Colubrinae family. Typically they are rich in 3FTx (three finger toxins), the same toxins that give elapids their potency. The venoms are by and large just as potent as comparable elapids. However, venom yields are much smaller and venom delivery greatly less. If you want to read up on them, download the papers from the publications section of my webpage below.

All the best
Bryan

Um, Derrick, I did know they were rear-fanged. This is what I said earlier.

Any chance of getting your hands on other rear-fanged stuff?

Keyword,"other". I was asking about other rear-fangs he may have.

:D

[Derrick]

hehe sorry Vanan. I kinda skimmed your first post and I'm sure you can understand how I would misread your second post. No offence intended:)

Thanks for the reply Dr. Bryan Fry I will check out the papers when I get home

[Vanan]

No offence taken. :)
