I'm wading out of my depth here with the big fish LOL My understanding of Colubrids is that they are all venomous, rear fanged snakes. As pythons have body mass for strangulation, colubrids have venom to subdue their prey. There has been an extremely recent paper, I believe from Swinburne or one of the main Victorian universities which found that many supposed non-venomous species of Australian snake is in FACT venomous -it has rewritten the books in a time frame no later than 3 months. I will try to find the article.
