>>Im from brazil and I kept Liophis miliaris some years ago. They are aglyphous and does not have ANY enlarged teeth. I pretty much doubt that they could do a nasty bite.

Below is a shot of the enlarged teeth from a Paraguayan Liophis poecylogyrus


The venom glands are also very sizeable and the venom itself quite complex.

Cheers
Bryan
