    Oh wouldn't that be horrible! Back when I kept a large native t for a while, I was told that if they fall they'll die because their body will break open from the impact. I wasn't much for handling mine anyway, & only did so once or twice over furniture (the couch, I think?). Many people probably think they'd be able to bounce pretty well with those springy-looking legs, but no.

    So if that t in the photo suddenly used his fangs, how many owners could keep their cool & not drop it? Not many, I'd guess. Maybe there's a soft cushion right below it that's just out of the picture, but even if there is, that photo is setting a bad example by not telling the whole truth.
