All are still juvi's & we have yet to hear any of them make a sound. However, our largest stermi does a great hiss, which can be clearly heard from several feet away. The thing to be most aware of with Selenocosmia crassipes, is the potency of their venom with dogs. We have two dachshunds & it's something we very aware of. If a crassipies bite has been witnessed to kill a large Austrailian Shepherd in as little as 45 minutes, what chance would a dachshund stand?</blockquote>
