Don’t they bite? Aren’t you scared of them? Don’t you take their “fangs” out?

Anything with a mouth can bite. Just like dogs, some may bite, some may never bite. Certain kinds are much less likely to be defensive than others. But it is really always an individual animal thing.

We wouldn’t work with them if we were scared of them. Some of us are scared of heights, so we don’t have jobs cleaning high rise windows.

We don’t have venomous snakes, which is what fangs would refer to. And no, we don’t take their teeth out either, that would be cruel. We also do not remove the fangs from the tarantulas, that would kill them.
