I have asked the same question a few times.
I posted a while back on the speed with which T. jacksonii kill mice, however they have an incredibly powerful bite, I strongly suspect that the mice died primarily from suffocation. I have seen far faster deaths to mice from the bite of Ahaetula prasina, which was purely death from the venom (could see the snake working those fangs) and they are considered harmless.
I have also an account from a fellow Thrasops enthusiast, who has had many Thrasops bites and noted nothing more than mild tingling (that was from a feeding bite).
Bryan maybe you could put these on the list to test.
Cheers Mark
