The potency of the venom is probably exaggerated a bit, as are the presumed consequences of a bite. Even if it was comparable to a beesting, the components of the snake's venom probably aren't the same as the bee's and may not cause the same reaction. That being said, there are no guarantees.

My suggestion is to start treating it like a dangerously venomous snake, even if it probably isn't. Wearing gloves when handling it and cleaning the enclosure should be enough protection. That's if you're still concerned about bites, but still want to keep her.
