Diadems are classed as rear fanged as they do have venom glands but their toxin isn't particularly strong. They only produce a small amount anyway and have to actively chew to introduce to a food item etc. Therefore, even if bitten you'd have to let him hang on a while to get any adverse reaction.

These guys are great and I've never had any problems with them - despite having an evil female who used to bite constantly.

Hope this helps
