  • Large tarantula, with a leg span that sometimes exceeds 18 cm1
  • Abdomen (rear body) has an intricate, fractal-like pattern, a feature of the whole genus1
  • Lives in trees rather than on the ground (arboreal)1
  • Moves rapidly1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

The venom may cause intense pain. This is judged from the experience of keepers bitten by other spiders in the same genus, so the exact effects are not fully known for this species. The large fangs also make puncture wounds that can become infected.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: Ernstig'n Byt moet deur 'n dokter gesien word. Sterftes is baie skaars.

No death has ever been recorded from any tarantula bite. The species is still considered to have a medically significant bite. It generally prefers flight to fight but may attack when cornered.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It tends to be quite defensive, and may attack when cornered, though it generally prefers to escape.1

As dit byt

  • Bites need proper treatment, because the fang punctures can lead to a secondary bacterial infection if they are not treated properly.1
  • 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
