Tree Boa bites?

got2strum Mar 23, 2005 09:07 AM

I went to a show today and saw someone selling tree boas. I think they were Emerald tree? I saw a guy buying one of them and the seller used a cloth bag to get it out. Would a bite from these really be that bad? They were about 2' or 3'long. Not buying any, just curious.

ive been bitten by a four foot emerald on the forearm and it looked like i had been bitten by something venomous for the first couple hours .my arm was not permanently damaged but they have that potential
