This presumably will also affect adders, which are even smaller - The two snakes are so small, their teeth cannot pierce skin (even that of a cavy), only dent it. I believe the next larger snake is the kingsnake. It's not venomous, but could also be unable to pierce skin, so it should be tested.

Having trained up wrestling with kingsnakes, I can attest that they'll bruise up your face (due to helmets not actually protecting the face), but I'm pretty sure they never drew blood.

I also saw a companion of mine get bitten by a rattlesnake, who I thought would die, but nope. Wasn't sure if it was because of the bite not getting through or fast travels insta-heal.
