I know aspidelaps species are not known to be all that toxic, but yesterday, I watched my female A. Cowlesi bite a rather large adult mouse on the tip of its tail. The mouse was dead within two minutes. That is pretty impressive. She didn't even hold on and chew, rather, it was more of a bite and release. This is not the first time I have seen her kill mice quickly either. I usually feed FT, but every time i feed live, they are usually dead in a matter of minutes. It just got my attention because recently I have seen a lot of videos online of people free handling aspidelaps like they were ball pythons. I don't know, just seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading.
