How cruel! I couldn't imagine ever trying to remove their fangs. That is sad to hear. I feel your 5 year old and I would get along great though! Hey if ever in Colorado they can hold mine! :) Well, when they aren't so hungry haha.

Yea, I have asked to hold them at a pet store and they wanted me to sign a waiver just in case. They could easily tear your fingers flesh apart but the chance of that happening is one I am willing to risk.
