Hey guys.

So yesterday me and my girlfriend ended heading out to the Great Lakes reptile rescue and zoo, pretty neat place. Has the biggest retic I've ever seen, and apparently the biggest in Michigan. Anyways, this is the first time if seen the smooth scaled snake (False Water Cobra) I fell in love. One of the most beautiful snakes I have ever seen. But I'm not entirely sure if I can even keep one legally. So are these snakes considered a true venomous snake? Or are they similar to a hog nose where they are technically venomous but being rear fanged and their venom not being very strong, is it legal? If it is legal, anyone have any kind of experience with them ?
