I have no idea what forum to post in, so....
Surprise! Pythons have venom…but just a little. | Wild Types
"The amount of venom is not enough to harm a human or to kill prey, says Fry, but it’s enough “to mess up an extremely sensitive diagnostic tool.”
I don't know if this has been posted, or really if this belongs in the Venomous forum, but I thought very interesting...

Re: I have no idea what forum to post in, so....
Well that's very interesting.
I have read that a lot of non-venomous snakes are actually venomous but the venom is so weak it really isn't considered a venom and its only purpose is an anticoagulant.
I don't know how true this is. Was light reading one day.

Dr. Fry is definitely one of the leaders in venom research. The dude knows his stuff.

I think pythons are venomous because when they bite you it hurts. Thats my proof.

Yeap. Clearly venomous. Anacondas are venomous because they were in a movie and theyre green.
