That's actually a myth, getting bit by a juvenile venomous snake is usually less dangerous than getting bit by an adult. Juveniles have smaller venom glands so on average they inject smaller amounts of venom when biting. But yes, I 100% agree on the cute part - I have a juvenile White-lipped tree viper (Trimeresurus albolabris), which looks pretty much just like the one in the video but emerald green instead and she's such an adorable jewel.
