The venom is usually not fatal to healthy adults. One death has been confirmed since 1930, on 16 February 2024. Earlier deaths involved adults who were drunk or whose bite was treated badly. Bites are painful and can cause shock, but the lizard is sluggish and rarely a real threat.1

Hol ko ngal waɗata so ina hula?

Its bright colours may warn predators to keep away, because it can inflict pain.1
