i found some in a local reptile shop along with retics and acros. the owner was holding it while convincing that it wasnt venomous.. he handled it like a tame garter.. im sure it was a chinese watersnake because of the head shape, belly pattern and i know the difference between nerodias.. how venomous are chinese watersnakes? how big do they get??

and how do you tame nerodias?? the guy has been biting me since day 1
