An intentionally induced bite. Edit: The spider was a 1" specimen.

Redness and swelling appeared immediately after the bite. A white patch around the two puncture holes (both of which bled a little) rapidly developed. A slight, warm pain also started, and was almost completely diminished after 20 minutes. No other effects as yet.

Much milder in comparison to bites from Pterinochilus chordatus and Heteroscodra maculata.
