>>I have had 3 ringnecks (edwardsi) in Connecticut and Vermont that have tried to bite. Also, I have seen a Ringneck use its Venom against a Juvinal Black Rat. The rat snake was envenomated and almost died..
>>It took about 12 hours for the ratsnake to recover..

Dunno if this applies or not, but many many years ago we fed a couple of southern ringnecks to a young eastern king. The king was dead within a week. It's possible one or both of the ringnecks could have bitten the inside of the king's mouth or something.... but there is no proof that they were indeed the cause of the snake's death.
