Jay, I obtained a wild caught specimen about 2 feet long and fed it goldfish for the first feeding and noticed how it sat in a water bowl with plastic plants covering it and would attack the goldfish that touched its body. Seeing how it attacked without looking, I took a dead fuzzy on thongs and touched it and it attacked and has been eating rodents since. I only feed it while its in the water bowl and do not know if it will eat a live fuzzy but it eats what ever touches it. I keep mine in a medium critter cage on mulch and big water bowl and it seems content with plastic plants for cover. I never was bitten and this sucker I have here is a biter, so I never touch it unless I have to hook it to clean its cage. As far as their venom goes, check with that Brian Fry guy.
