>>If garter snakes have venom then how come everyone and every book says harmless.
You're assuming that venomous equals dangerous, and that simply is not the case. In other words, a snake can be technically venomous but totally harmless to humans.
Just like ants. Many are venomous but some species could bite you repeatedly and you'll be fine.
I never said anything about Mandarins and have no idea if they fall into any modern interpretation of venomous. You need to take this over the rear fanged forum when Bryan Greig Fry starts posting there again. I assume he's off in the field somewhere as I have not seen a post from him in some time. ----- Current snakes:
1.1 Gonyosoma oxycephala - (Silver/Yellow)
2.2 Gonyosoma oxycephala - (Green)
4.3 Gonyosoma janseni - (Black)
