One thing I also always remind people is that while they are not prone to bite (I am usually a bite magnet and never been bit) and that they are read fanged (which is a poor venom delivery system) they are however considered mildly venomous, nothing that will kill you, generally speaking it's a bit of swelling but some people have had swelling up to their arms, your possible reaction really comes down to your immune system, if you are allergic to bee stings and such I would not recommend them but instead recommend sand boas which are similar in size.
I've heard the picky eater thing but I didn't realize that it was mostly the males, interesting! I'm not worried about the venom as my body doesn't really react to anything negatively, and even if I did have a reaction I highly doubt it'd be anything bad
How do they do with handling?
