I do not think so, based on how he has defended hydrodynastes as a species that should be treated as non-venomous for purposes of legislation. If you look at the followng thread you will see what I mean. It seems to me he's taken a very practical and realistic approach when it comes to legislation of colubrids, from what I've seen. However, keep in mind that people thought thelotornis was not dangerous, until one killed a prominent herpetologist. I think it is important to analyze and report colubrid toxicity and let the scientific community examine the finding. We shouldn't hold scientists accountable for how ignorant, agenda-driven politicians interpret, or misinterpret and twist scientific findings. It's ultimately our job to police our politicians.
