I have kept this species and can concur with the feeding response....these animals are almost explosive when they smell food! Anything moving has a chance of getting an exploratory munch....



I was bitten on the finger by a small individual and can tell you from first hand experience that it hurt...However, there were no systemic symptoms of envenomation, and (as stated previously) this species just doesn't have a very efficient venom delivery system.
