Is there a case for saying maybe, that some pedes should be added to any DWA list..?

Scolopendra subspinipes maybe Ethmostigmus trigonopodus
To be honest, i think its all down to the definition of a DWA. They will hurt intensly but will not kill, only one reputed report of a young girl being killed after being bitten on the neck. In that case it was secondary injuries sustained, her neck swelled and asphizxiated her apparently. Its not medically rcognised though.
Sometimes i think they should, but equally soemtimes not.
Theyr 10x more scary than any other Invert i can thik of.
Without doubt one of the quickest inverts iv ever known.
REALY scary things, but magnificent and stunning! hpe no DWA for em.
Heres another example. Emus d not require DWA, yet one kick can send your guts flying. theyr very dangerous animals, 1000x more dangerous than a pede. If a pissed off emu got loose then there arefar worse implications

In fairness, someone is going to find it v hard to obtain and keep one of them, compared to easily concealing some lethal snakes or whatever!!!

I keep both these species and have found them to be pretty calm unless you try to ss them off. They are in secure tanks and in my DWA room. People need to realise that captive DWA animals are in the control of the DWAL owner. If you have a DWAL then there should be no chance one can get out into the public.

A few non-native inverts could survive in British weather.

G.Rosea, E.Flavicaudis and there has been reports of Locusts coming over from abroad and thriving too.

Licence aside, what happens if some vandals break into a house, were there are a lot of inverts such as this, and in their rampage, they kick open a lot of the tanks, and they escape that way..?

Just a thought....
