Mainly hemotoxic w/ potent tissue-necrotic factors. However, the venom of one subspecies (C. m. mitchellii) is mainly neurotoxic, lacking significant hemorrhagic & proteolytic activity. Envenomation by this subspecies can cause neurotoxic symptoms. Serious envenomations & deaths of humans have been reported.
This was a corn snake that I rescued off of a glue trap. I tried to get as much of the glue off as I could. If you ever run into this problem the best way to get them off is vegetable oil.
