How potent would the venom of Laophis be?

There’s really no way of knowing this from fossil evidence. We could know if we found a mummified Laophis with dried drops of venom still inside but the odds of that find ever being made are astronomically low.

Given Laophis’ size and possible prey items, one could speculate a rather potent bite, though size doesn’t always equal stronger venom in snakes.

In regards to Titanoboa, would it have been Ovoviviparous like a modern anaconda or would it have laid eggs like a python?

As with the PSI question, we don’t have any evidence to say one or the other.

How much PSI could a Titanoboa constrict with?

There’s no study about it yet, and we’re not entirely sure it can be measured to any reliable stretch of accuracy.
