Which is precisely the reason you shouldn't get one. You have a extremely high chance of getting hit sometime in its lifespan. If its not you it will be your kids (if you have kids). Its exactly the same danger if not worse because it looks innocent as keeping a cobra, rattlesnake or any other venomous animal that can KILL YOU VERY VERY VERY QUICKLY. I do say they are monstrous but not a great choice as a pet.
