`Also, though, I remember seeing a paper a while back indicating that constriction rather than venom was the cause of prey death in Boiga irregularis...'

The paper I was thinking of is:

Hayes-William-K; Lavin-Murcio-Pablo; Kardong-Kenneth-V

`Delivery of Duvernoy's secretion into prey by the brown tree snake, Boiga irregularis (Serpentes: Colubridae).'

Toxicon-. 1993; 31 (7) 881-887.

I thought I had a copy of it, but I can't find it at the moment... thinking about it more, though, I think they just showed that constriction played some part, rather than that it was the whole deal.
