They are very cool! There's just something appealing about them. Ah, I hope I get a chance to go to Ecuador myself someday.

Yeah. Very mild venom and fangs located in the rear of the jaws; it would have trouble injecting venom to a human and even if it did, it would probably cause no real harm.
They're also very shy.
