They can be quite docile when captive raised, yes. The toxicity of their venom is comparable to a rattlesnake's, but the amount of venom actually injected by these rear fanged snakes is very small indeed. There have been some bites to hobbyists with little or no consequences.

However there was one bite from a large wild caught adult specimen that resulted in a fairly serious envenomation to a researcher. I would suggest treating these snakes with a bit of caution, though there is probably no need to be terribly paranoid about them, especially smaller specimens.
