In Florida, an oval head is non-venomous....most people don't get close enough to look....oval head and whip tale, safe....triangular head and blunt tail, get the fk away....
Sound advice

Never had that, but scorpions or centipedes can kinda stuff up your day too. Pretty common in Spain & some parts of Australia.
