Re: venomous???

Wait, so corn snakes are venomous? Like hognose or vine snakes?

As I am not familiar with them... but if they are a colubrid then yes. They would "kill/subdue" prey via venom unlike constrictors (pythons and boas) therefore venomous. In saying that their venom is not toxic to us (there are colubrids that are) so therefore "harmless". There are species of Australian elapidae whos venom is not toxic to humans but they are elapids (venomous) none the less.
