Most colubrids are slightly toxic on some level (NA rats and kings excepted, hogs and garters included). No boa or python is toxic in the least. I guess it's possible for anything to cause a reaction, though, but it seems unlikely to me too. ----- "The serpent crams itself with animal life that is often warm and vibrant, to prolong an existence in which we detect no joy and no emotion. It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."
