  It’s heavily regulated now as someone sold one of the male drumsticks that still had the venomous spur attached at a Saturday farmers market.

  Fortunately most of the venom was deactivated by frying it but they still had to be hospitalised for a week.

    I realize I shouldn’t.

    but. I kinda want one. They’re cute.

    (again, I realize I shouldn’t!)
