[QUOTE="Poec54, post: 41911, member: 3524"] What, do you have guinea pigs running all over the house? While NW's have less potent venom than OW's, it's still a serious matter for a small animal. Bites near the head, neck, and certain organs are going to be more serious. Don't forget, there's a good amount of mechanical damage from the two huge fangs. Cages need to be escape proof, and the lids always have to be securely fastened [I]every time[/I] they're put back on. If you do that, it shouldn't be an issue. That means no screen on the lids or sides, as terrestrials can chew right thru that, fiberglass and aluminum both. [/QUOTE]
