Good Day, I took a hit from my nigriceps last week, i have a copy of your paper, btw Tim Jackson has seen pics of this animal in my hands, anyway, not a major issue, got a good grip, and chewed, was soaking it , and just like a bee sting would be my assesment, burned a bit, a little swelling, but no major damage. was a full grown female......had a grip for maybe 45-60 sec.

G'day mate

Sounds like fun B. nigriceps are one of my favorite Boigas, they are just stunning looking animals! Are you planning on breeding them? Post some pics of your little lovely (and your hand ;p

Cheers
