Does anyone feed these off to their animals? One of my animals is going through a picky stage but loves spiders, and I've caught a few of these over the last few days. I guess the only reason I'm a bit hesitant is due to their size when compared to the other spider species I generally feed. Thanks

I'm talking about the spiders within the genus Agelenopsis, the species is most like naevia. Everything I've seen (including the site you posted) describes their bites as being pretty harmless to humans. Haven't seen any today since it's raining, but might try feeding off the next one.
