Bothriocyrtum californicum - CA trapdoor
i forgot about this and found the pics on my cam today
this was in October, 2008, i think
i was packing my trap up to ship out... apparently she objected to having her burrow dismantled and being forcibly removed from it
She bit in and buried her fangs to the hilt. i had to very carefully remove them by prying them out with a paintbrush :)
Aside from a very slight ache i didn't notice much in the way of venom effect.
