I am looking for any information on Jackson's Tree Snake (Thrasops jacksoni). There seems to be very little information on this rear-fanged colubrid. Do you have any information on this snake?

They lack the long fangs of Dispholidus typus (boomslang), whom they very very closely resemble (number of labial scales is the major external difference, fairly trivial considering how overall they are extremely simmilar.
Private keepers report very rapid prey death and not by constriction but by the snake biting down very hard and causing an envenomation. What effects on human? Unknown. However, in our research with other 'colubrids' we've gotten some very very strange results.
Cheers
