while taking pics of a very nice female, i was trying to get her to stop running and start aggro posing. well, she wouldnt pose. i decided to put her back in her container and try another female. when i got her back in the container, she suddenly went aggro. i thought to myself, alright, ill try again. so i tried to get her out of the container and she wouldnt budge. i swiped my finger across the tip of her front legs really quick to try to get her to rear up further. well, aparently she moves lots faster than i was. she latched onto the tip of my finger and sank both fangs.

the initial bite was an intense stinging pain similar to a mild scorpion sting. within 5 minutes, it was throbing and intensly stinging. by about 10 minutes, the stinging subsided to a numb tingling sensation. it has now been about a half hour and it is still doing the tingly numb throb. i can feel that my hand and arm are feeling kinda funk. honestly, i dont think the venom will do much more than this. i hope so anyways.

wow! i really thought *i* would be posting this hehehe

hope that is the limit of the venom effect. i had heard it was more crappy but i think ppl tend to freak out and feel things more than they are

If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.

Question Josh:  how much do you weigh?  (Just trying to calibrate the effects for body weight).

Glad you're O.K.!

I'm about 120 lbs., so the effects would probably be more severe for someone my size.  I don't really want to find out...
