Re: Mangrove Snake

Most information that I have read about snakes like mangroves and false water cobras recommends that they should be handled with respect just like an venomous snake. I agree, because many of those types of snakes still have very little information available about their bites. There just arent enough bites on record to know what the chances are of a bad reaction.
I would recommend handling them with tools, and keeping your body away, just like any other venomous snake. Like stefan said- I would try really hard to avoid getting bit, just in case.
