Homalopsis buccata ?

I'm just curious as to who may be working with Homalopsis buccata also known as the banded water snake i do believe?
I was able to find very little info on them other than they are rear fanged mildly venomous,and prefer a diet of frogs and fish.
Has anyone out there worked with this species?I would apreciate any info pretaining to peoples personal experience with this species.

Thanks,
Chris.

I have seen that species called a Puff Faced Water Snake. Banded Water Snakes, Nerodia fasciata, is found here in the US. Other than the name, I cannot help a whole lot without delving into the internet and books. I believe that it looks like a skinny Nerodia. Coming from Asia, i would not doubt if it was rear fanged. That is about all I can offer. Good luck.
