I'm researching Liophis at the moment (literally) and we should be submitting the paper later on this year Watch this space. The venom glands were bloody huge and the venom is very complex. I'd rate them as a potential worry as a bite. I'm a bit leary of most Xenodontidae. Some like Tomodon, Waglerophis and Xenodon are going to be included in our second wave of research. They certainly look the part of something interesting.
