One has to consider the force of a large gaboon bite as well. An adult gaboon viper has a large head, it not only has two fangs but rows of standard large teeth as well. A defensive bite from almost any snake is bite and let go. If a Gaboon Viper thinks your hand is food and then nails it, it WILL NOT let go. Gaboons to not strike and release prey.
All things considered, I'd rather take a slap from a large python and take my chances there. Two long fangs can do damage, especially to your eyes. The other thing too is you are not going move out of the way of a Gaboon Viper. I have dodged large pythons, its impossible to dodge a gaboon strike, its simply too fast and powerful.
