Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Their venom is pretty potent! They lack a good delivery system so they do not inject much at all, but symptoms still happen. It is true they inject more venom as they chew becuase they have rear fangs. they are not harmless.... wont kill you but could still hurt

i am new to this form ,but reading some of the post, I don't know what to think?
hear is one gentleman trying to sell a FWC , and now we have another member that is questioning him about shipping and not helping with the sell . if some one is so uneducated on this snake maybe they should start a thread instead of wasting the sellers time. when they have no intention of buying the snake . just like another thread some jerk putting his opinion on the value of another's snakes .I have keep FWC before and I enjoy them a lot . i enjoy keeping rear fang snakes and when we have complete idiots running there mouth off saying they should be shipped like a pit viper this causes a gray area on shipping . this only hurts the hobby.

Indeed,I know a little about them,Its amazing how People think they are harmful when Their Venom cant even take a rat down half the time,And it does hurt the hobby Like the movies and media want making snakes out to be the killer they are not,Thats a Fantastic looking snake I deff want it but I just dont haev the money maybe after the next food bill I may have some left over always wanted one of my own on Display,Its at a fair price as well.

Whoa ok I'm sorry guys but I felt i had to step in. FWC aren't known to be deadly to people but if they bite you they still have a toxic venom far greater then that of a Hog-nosed snake. A False Water Cobra does have a serious bite and if it did happen to tag you it wouldn't be something you can shrug off and say oh its no big deal like you could if you were bitten by a Garter Snake. And who ever thinks that rear fanged snakes arent dangerous are very, very mistaken. Snakes like Boomslangs or even Mangrove snakes are dangerous if you are bitten. I do not know of any deaths from a rear fanged snake but i know i wouldnt want to get bitten by one. You might not die but become sick enough to wish you were dead. Be careful even with the rear fanged ven's people. Hope that was helpful =)

I'm holding onto him untill I can clear that there was no internal damage done to him. last thing I wanna do is sell someone a doomed snake. Thanks for all the info hapefully someone can read this post and learn a thing or two....
