: : Hi, today in class we were talking about indigo snakes and racers and racers and my teacher was telling us that indigos and racers produce a mild dangerous siliva does something to your blood.I was wondering is this true? I didnt belive it but I wasnt sure either. So does anyone know? FLHerper

: I have to answer this question. I don't usually reply to most of the questions but this one needs a reply.
: I have a little experience with Drymarchons. I have bred and raised every subspecies of Drymarchon known.
: I have been bitten more times than I care to remember and I have never had a reaction to a bite.
: The worst case would be an infection due to germs and bacteria in the saliva. There is no venom in Drymarchon.
: Good luck in your class.

Water snakes (Nerodia) have anti-coagulant properties to their saliva . Possibly the teacher in question is confused on his species. To the guy mentioning a backdoor way of banning herps...LOL come on any theories on JFK as well. Every question asked on these forums don't always have a motive of destruction lets not be ridiculous. Yeah i know that some of the laws being pushed are ridiculous but lets keep the doomsday talk for real problems being faced by herpers not some kid talking about what he heard in class.
