lol, they are in a V70 .... yes I have heard of people having allergic reactions to them and needing a quick trip to the hospital... I have had them for a few years and only got my first "bite" a few weeks back, free handling much the same way as in stimigex's photo, one of the "tamer" ones just shifted it bottom jaw to the side and tried to hook me with a fang, sneaky sneaky style, dirty rotten things lol. ( no, I bled from one row of teeth marks but no vinegar in the wound)
Ahh, so you're my kinda guy, who has V70s in his lounge room You must be doing well to have no bites from so many over a few years... apart from that sneak attack! Bet he was cursing his rear-fanged-ness right then A relief there was no envenomation.
A bite from these guys will effect every person differently, It can be nothing at all right through to a severe reaction requiring attention.
Now having said that i havent had a bite from these guys for over 5 years. They were real stress heads as tiny ones and had a nip every now and then.
This was my understanding stimigex... I suppose you just hope you aren't one of those people! :S When you got little nips off them as hatchies, was there ever any envenomation?
