Forza dal tissi

Morsas

Tge fa ses tissi?

Its venom may cause intense pain, although this is judged from the experience of keepers bitten by other spiders in the genus. A bite may cause a rise in heart rate, followed by sweating, headache, stinging, cramping or swelling. These effects can last for up to a week.1

Quant privlus è el per umans?

Privel per umans: GravIna morsa sto vegnir tractada dad in medi. Cas da mort èn fitg rars.

No human death from its bite has ever been recorded. Its bite is still considered medically significant. Most bites are dry bites, where no venom is injected. It can move quickly and may defend itself when cornered.1

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

It is skittish and will try to flee first. It also flees from light, as it is sensitive to it. If provoked, it may bite.1

Fatgs

Its vivid blue colour comes from tiny structures in its hair that reflect light, so the colour shifts when viewed from different angles.1

Its adult fangs can reach nearly 3/4 of an inch (about 1.9 cm) in length.1

Females typically live for 11 to 12 years, and males live for 3 to 4 years.1

Some blue tarantulas may use their colour in choosing mates or in contests for mates.1

It has been bred in captivity for more than ten years and is popular with tarantula enthusiasts.1

Destructur da mits

Mit: Its bite is deadly.
