Thanks for replying. On almost every Website under that name (Coelognathus Radiatus) discusses studies they have done identifying the Three-Finger alpha-neurotoxins (3FTx). They say that the venom is no more harmful to a human than a bee sting (unless, of course, you are allergic to it) but that it would do damage to a frog! They also say they are rear-fanged. This snake was very jumpy in the store while trying to get it out of its cage, but once in hand was very calm. Sometimes he moves fast when I try to get him out of his home here (only 2 days now) but he doesn't get crazy, and he never strikes. Once he's in hand, he is very content to wrap around my fingers - lets me stroke the top of his head and chin - I hope to have a picture tomorrow. I will definitely keep checking the Web site - I did find that they get 4 to 6 feet and need a bit larger home than a 40 breeder because they like to move a lot. I also heard they like high (60% to 80%) humidity and lots of hidey spots. But that's about it.
