Its venom is not enough to kill a human, but bites can be extremely painful. In a 2001 case from Japan, two people bitten by a pet reported severe pain and inflammation, which faded after several hours. One person had stiffness for a few weeks. Bites can also cause severe muscle cramps.1

Òtítọ́
Its blue colour comes from iridescent legs, which shimmer in light.1
Adult males change colour after their final moult, turning light tan or bronze.1
Despite its potent venom, it is a mainstay of the pet trade.1
It is a fossorial species, meaning it spends nearly all its time in deep burrows that it digs itself.1
Females grow larger than males and live for years longer.1
