Is it? I think it isn't as there are none of any death or massive injured reports. How about you? What you think?

If you let an adult female constrict around your neck then yes it could kill you and yes they can carry Salmonella, but otherwise no, they are not dangerous.

most animals have the abbilty to be dangous.
take the bite for instance-
-if a snake bits you people think its bad and agressive
-if a kitten/puppy bites you its playing or doesnt know any better.
so i think alot of it is how comfortable you feel around your pet and how much respect you give it for being an animal

i would say no, but as with any animal they can bite, royals will only bite as a last resort, respect it, learn the body language of the royal and you will be fine, probably the only time it would bite is during its shed cycle, and even then its not a malicious bite, they have poor sight anyway, double that with its eyes going opaque and their eyesight worse then it already is and they will not wanna be handled, never had any trouble with my royal, i trust her more then the dog lol

I have an 18 foot female, but it's OK because her venom glands have been removed.

Don't exagerate Chris. When you asked me to genetically modify the embryo you only said you wanted the royal big not venomous as well. The venomous one was supposed to be the 30 foot tall flying gerbil .

Hmm, perhaps the plan for giving it eight legs was over-ambitious considering the wings as well. If you're having problems stick with the traditional four.
