- They come in multiple colour forms throughout their range, this from has a darker yellow head and legs than usual and the skin on the abdomen is particularly transparent, allowing the green blood to be seen through it giving it a green tinge. The green form is from Williamstown SA, at the northern side of their range.
Mildly venomous.

Love this chunky lil one! Arrived happy and healthy, a really nice size too and lovely colour. Bit shy at first but overnight had started a tunnel and was keen for a feed the next day. Really glad I added this one to the household!
