I know they nicknamed the toxin from them rufoxin. I would like to know how potent the venom is and the re-actions and tests done, though it will not change me handling my little guy. All the reports i've read I couldn't find one single bite report of a rufous, and I handle him everyday without a longsleeve shirt & gloves.
