I sure dont! I caught one in South Sudan about 11 years ago in the early evening after a large gathering of natives almost had a riot due to this little guy slithering into the center of where they were sitting (I dont know what it was doing out of the trees but he was hauling to get back to them). We are talking about 500 people running and screaming like a war party had just arrived to kill them all. I have not seen such fear in people like that in my entire life! They freaked the crap outta me with all that panic! Luckily my translator ran up to me to tell me what was going on and we went and found the little guy and I got him out of there and back into the trees. So while I have not studied or researched the potency of these guys in great detail, I know just by how those people reacted to this snake, that they are absolutely not to be taken lightly.

The very existence of flamethrowers means that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves..."You know, I really want to set those people over there on fire...but I'm just not close enough to get the job done!
