"windchild",

Eh, You're one of those "group-harmless-opisthoglyphous-snakes-with-Vipers-and-Elapids" type, aren't You? It's okay, I am used to it from the Northeast. But straight and simply, it is wrong. Sure, Chrysopelea and Boiga are venomous, but so isn't a honey bee or an Emperor Scorpion. There are different levels of venomous: vaguely, mildly and highly, period.

I suppose this is why I often--though I hadn't on here until now--refer to the highly (or deadly-) venomous snakes as 'poisonous,' in clear distinguishment from those venomous genera that have yet to be responsible for a fatality.

In conclusion, I believe getting started with (nervous) opisthoglyphous snakes like I have worked with for 10-plus years would be beneficial, and thus perhaps what You are looking for.

Good luck with Your search otherwise.
