Boomslangs are lovely. If they weren't venomous, I'd probably want to have one.

Soo pretty!
I've heard they were moderately popular as pets before the fact that they were terribly venomous was discovered. (People thought they were harmless for years as I understand it.) Is this true or an urban myth?

I tend to think it's a bit of both. It is possible that many people "domesticated" their boomslangs and bites were dry or extremely rare and so they assumed the snake was harmless.
