firecontrol Hobbyist Posts: 65 Kudos: 59 Votes: 41 Registered: 02-Sep-2005  | Not that I suggest keeping on in a tank, but from what I understand, you have to be very careless (almost try) to get bit. They have very small mouths and (from what I've heard) can really only get you between the fingers/toes, ears, or any other small body part. Again, I'm not an expert, just some things I've heard |

| greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004 | There are some water snakes that you can keep but there not saltwater. There called tentacle snakes. http://aquaticpredators.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16102 Theres a caresheet there for them. I would think that extensive knowledge and experience in aquariums and snakes would be necessary. They have some venom but its very mild and only used for stunning the prey Last edited by greenmonkey51 at 09-Sep-2005 00:08 |
