Mine bit me like the day after i got it. i had the smell of an earthworm on my finger and when I picked him up he just started chewing it. I don't believe that they have any venom because It felt like just any other snake and yes those inlarged teeth in the back got into me. I bled very slightly like normal and nothing happened. i just thnk there saliva is just like that of a water snake or garter snake. Garters have been known to just bite a mouse and the mouse died from the saliva. And waters will cause you to bleed a lot.
