Very nice! But I would question the lumping of Ptyas korros into that group as the dentation is a bit different. Lately it seems that "Opistoglyph" is becoming an outmoded term.
I keep that species of Ptyas as well.

Ptyas (to the best of my knowledge) do not have the groove in the enlarged back teeth that signified what used to be called opistoglyphs. Many snakes that had enlarged back teeth but lacked this groove are venom producing but had been placed in colubridae.
BGF could explain it much better as his famous paper is what opened Pandora's box on the subject of what is and is not venomous.
