Mangrove snakes (Bioga dendrophila spp) have a neurotoxic venom. The venom is not generally thought to be of medical significance in human envenomations although is capable of causing swelling, bruising and significant pain to the victim.
The primary purpose of the snake's venom is to take birds as prey. The venom of the mangrove snake is made to target birds and is quite disabling for the avain prey.
Scientists are looking at this venom's application for biomedical applications.
