I was told by my herpetology professor that there venom is geared towards killing worms and the like. They are not harmful to humans. I used to work at a field school and when we gave reptile talks I always made sure to have a ringneck on hand. They are so little and cute that everyone likes them. I would pass it around then tell them that they just held a venemous, yet harmless, snake.
