Heres a better description, Scientisits have found a slight venom used for parilizing small insects. As beardies get older they become more vegie eaters than anything so scientists have resaen to believe they loosew their venom toxicity as they grow into maturity. Keepers have no resean to worry though because the beardies slight venom is barley enough to harm an insect let alone a human and on top of that beardies have a calm, delightful nature anyway.
