>>I am assuming that it would most likely be a boomslang,
The boomslang is certainly the one I would consider the most dangerous.

>but arent mambas rear fanged?
No, mambas are elapids.


> I am just curious. I know hoggies arent very venomous at all, but what about FWCs? how dangerous are they? >>2.3 ratties Rizzo, Bounce, Bree, Blitzkreig, and Zelda

Neither of those has particularly toxic venom. However, if a very large specimen gets a very good long chew, enough may be delivered to cause some moderate symptoms. This is pretty much the full envelop of the symptoms and the snakes are very unlikely to cause a severe envenomation. Life-threatening envenomations would be extremely unlikely (excluding protein allergy).
