Spalerosophis diadema

Has any one had experience with this species? I have heard reports that they have rear fangs but haven't seen any actual evidence - is this true. I have 'acquired' a pair of these which are feeding very well on defrosted fuzzys - I have them housed the same as my corns andkings which I assume is OK?
Any imput will be greatly appreciated.

They are indeed rearfanged. However, they fall into a group of VERY mildly venomous snakes so that should not be a concern at all.

Care as you are learning, is very simple. Typical ratsnake.
