Where do centipedes fall under? one of our members went to the hospital from an allergic reaction to a bite.
Or Pokies for that matter?
And just a question, what if said Venemous creature was in a locked display. would that be okay?

From an outside point of view you'll be limiting yourselves to what will be acceptable/ allowed.
Now if you had rules/ guidelines on how to display (locked enclosure) or handeling(or lack of) that would work much better..

I understand the main concern is for the safety of members and Joe Public, but chances are greater to get tagged buy a T, scorp, Pede, then getting bit or tagged by something venomous thats properly locked in a display.

guidelines/ rules are better then bans in my opinion

Also, if they get out and into the T's, roaches or other inverts and animals, that's not a good thing

OH man,
I was going to bring my bullet ants for people to hold.

well too bad

On a serious note now, I understand Fred, it is too much liability having something really really hot like that.

That bullet ant quote was priceless!

Guess this means no tigers? Awww, sorry Puss 'N Boots, you can't go. ^_^

Kind of bummed, I missed the meeting in April..

All well next time and maybe I'll have plenty of jumpers to bring and I should get my new camera lens by then.
