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...

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.

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