I always thought... Never mind.

I mean I'd love to see one just maybe not handle one. Also, just how bitey are they really

[–] Salvo@aussie.zone 9 points 3 days ago

That is the thing. They will bite if the feel scared, so it you are competent, relaxed and crazy enough, you may be able to handle one like this. They also have a little beak.

The Venn diagram of venomous and dangerous is not a plain circle.

mating behavior
The initiation of physical contact is completely independent from sex, size, or residency status.
However, sperm is only released during sexual interaction with females but not with males,
which indicates that upon copulation, the male can distinguish the difference on whether to inseminate or not.

Huh, neat.

I wouldn't let kids hold stuff like that tbh. Not just because of the poison, either.
