Kyle, i really don't think this is worth the risk when you can easily use other safe worm pieces. I know you are one for coming up with new ways and tricks to do things, but this is just plain risky. And it's going to give newcomers here the wrong ideas that these worms are safe if they are poked enough. No, they don't have infinite toxin, but how do you know ALL of it has been secreted? And how do you know that by the time the worm is digested it has not produced more of it? Do you have information on hand stating how long it takes for the worms to build up more toxins? And how much toxin is harmful? My biggest concern is that there will still be trace amounts of the toxins in the worms regardless of how fast they can make more. Not 100% is going to come out. If you had worms soaked in bleach, and then you had worms that only had the very tip of their tails dipped in a very weak bleach solution, you wouldn't feed those worms to your snakes, either way, right?
