  • i was gonna buy one of those

  • I had one.

    I thought I was bitten.

    Didnt feel anything like a bite, but some symptoms started in just 3 minutes.

    So I panicked. I called our emergency services 000, and unlocked the door for them in case I couldnt make it by the time they arrived.

    5 minutes later they were here and I was recovering. It had sprayed its venom in the water. It was so diluted that I was not in any serious danger.

    From then on I never fed it alone, always had someone else around.

  • After that I started to use rubber gloves and ceram wrap to protect myself against another venom spray.

    Mine was VERY shy and stayed mostly uner its rock unless feeding.

    I would hear it moving around at night and it would freak me out sometimes.

    It died after 18 months. They have a short life span, and even shorter in captivity.

    Fascinating creatures. I love em.

    Recommend you get one if you can.

    Just be careful.

    They are escape artists, and VERY smart and agile.
