garter bites

Actually I've had an interesting read lately... I've been told that hognose/neordia/garters all have some basic venom, however they lack a delivery system, instead it just trickles down into the wound which isn't very effective and it isn't bad for humans... I'm not 100% sure this is true, but there where articles and studies on it aswell I can try and find.

Downloaded a number of PDFs on the subject of venom in "non-venomous" colubrids last winter.
