I've got one, and I treat it just like anything else venomous. I know they're rear fanged, but trust me they open that mouth up a bit too wide for my comfort, and the one time one got a hold of a piece of clothing I was wearing (the first week I had them) it was a solid bite that definitely got stuck in the fabric. I'm under the impression though that as far as venom toxicity, it all depends on the individual involved. I've heard some people say it's not much more than localized swelling and pain, and I've heard compare it to a "true" venomous bite. I've also NEVER seen them at a non-venomous show, so it's possible the guy was just hoping no one would notice. I'm not going to take chances with whether or not I'm one of the ones who has a bad reaction.
