Leptotyphlopidae,
Loxocemus bicolor (Loxocemidae, Mexican burrowing pythons,
Acrochordidae,

Do you ask for legal, educational or safety reasons?
Most Leptotyphlopidae are so small, it probably don't matter in practice...

I was asking because of personal interest. I was just wondering if any of these snakes actually had any venom at all. It's not for safety reasons etc. just educational. :D

No Hannah, none of these are known to be venomous. The first two are what are termed "basal snakes." Leptotyphlopids are the thread snakes, somewhat similar to blind snakes (Typhlopidae) and Loxocemus bicolor, the only member of its family, is the neo-tropical sunbeam snake, formerly thought to have been the only New World python. The Acrochordidae include the highly aquatic Asian wart snakes. You'll find a lot of useful information on basal snakes in Mark O'Shea's book Boas and Pythons of the World, and in Snakes by Harry Greene.
