The japanese tiger snake and the peruvian false viper have also caused deaths. There's also a colubrid in Europe that has killed some people, genus Malpolon.

Dipsadinae incertae sedis? edit

Either they belong there and are incertae sedis, in which case a further subdivision into tribes is necessary. Or they are generally incertae sedis, in which case they don't belong in the Dipsadinae or only tentatively so. Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 06:47, 2 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

This page needs an anatomical drawing of the head showing the location of the fangs edit

Would make the location of the fangs clear to those who are not anatomically sophisticated...Avram Primack (talk) 15:38, 14 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've added a link to the snake dentition page. That should do it. Mokele (talk) 16:17, 14 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Move proposal edit

Would anyone object to moving this page to "Colubridae," which would be in-line with all of our other articles on snake families? Also, fully two thirds of all articles that link here do so via the Colubridae redirect anyway. Cheers, --Jwinius (talk) 01:31, 3 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Go for it. Mokele (talk) 01:40, 3 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fang Location edit

The article makes this claim:

These are unlike those of vipers and elapids, which are located in the front.

This is contradicted by the article on elapids, which describe them as rear-fanged snakes. Could somebody with access to the source please clear this up? —MiguelMunoz (talk) 22:48, 11 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
