hmmm... still not convinced..

I am getting mixed information from the internet searches, some saying lovely and calm, never bite and not venomous to others that say things like...(and I quote):

"However, since a sister species X. vittatus is reported to have a venomous bite akin to "being stung by lots of bees"; and a related snake, the Tiger Keelback Rhabdophis tigrinus is considered a dangerously venomous snake - caution when handling X. piscator is probably not a bad idea."

stung by a 'lot of bees' is not something I feel is harmless!!

I had a tiger keelback years ago....there have been reported envenomations and I believe one death attributed to them. However, mine was very calm. My mother was feeding my snakes and was bitten, had no reaction. she had been hand feeding since one of my snakes had neurological damage (that's another story!!!) The keelback would never take food from her had after that...she was feeding them fish pieces on a popsicle stick when it grabbed her finger by mistake. That all happened before I was able to find out what kind of snake it was.
