Do the proximal spikes on a stingray carry venom...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I see lots of people grab the tails to move rays so this is why I say they are not venomous. Maybe I'm wrong
 
I have picked up a dead Corydoras catfish and the pectoral fin punctured my thumb, it was like a bee sting, not sure if they are classed as venomous.
 
The little spikes on the tail are called Denticles. Non venimous....

The membrane surrounding the actual barb is a membrane refered to as the Sheath. The venom here is between the sheath and the barb.
