Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its venom is delivered through two hollow fangs and has two purposes. It paralyses the prey and begins digesting it. The spider then sucks up the proteins and fats, leaving only a small ball of undigested body parts.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

This tarantula is usually docile. When threatened, it kicks hairs off its abdomen, which can cause a rash on the skin, and if they hit a predator's eyes they can cause blindness.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When threatened, it kicks hairs off its abdomen with its hind legs.1

As dit byt

Was die byt en koel dit af. Kry mediese hulp as die pyn erg is of die persoon sleg voel.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Its venom starts digestion before the spider even eats the prey.1

Females may attack and try to eat males that approach them when they are not ready to mate.1

In captivity, females have been reported to live up to 20 years, while males live only about 5 years.1

Captive specimens have grown to a leg span of just over 6 inches (15 cm).1

Once captured in large numbers for the pet trade, it is now mostly bred in captivity and rarely caught in the wild.1
