Blue-ring take-off
Trying to document different forms of locomotion in Hapalochlaena lunulata, I got this shot last night. The male had been placed with a female, but didn't mate. He was somewhat excited and started to jet off of a rock just as I took this image.

How long have you been keeping blue rings? Seem like an intersting choice for a pet, seeing as how their bite is venomous.

I've been keeping blue-rings for twelve or thirteen years, but they aren't pets. We have been conducting research on their reproductive behavior and toxicity. I would never advise anyone to keep them as a "pet".

Oh, you're keeping them for research. That makes a whole lot more sense. Find anything interesting?

out of curiosity...is there a measurable envenomation rate? and what is it? the reason i ask, is that if perhaps people see the rate at which pro's, who do it daily for a living, get envenomated, maybe they will think twice about a hobby setup. (it's alot easier on the animals as well...i would think?)

Need to ask you a question.. Do you know were the nearest antivenom is ? which hospital its at? do you need to fly or can you just flop around and call a cab?
I would like to see your system. I get the blue ring in every now and a again by mistake. I will not sell them at all . They are death. one mistake and if you dont have a game plan your a goner. you keeping them as long as you have you must know the hospital that has the antivenom in CA? If so let me know I get LR in that they sometimes crawl out of. |

There are currently 4 described species of Hapalochlaena. Three are common, H. lunulata from Indonesia, the Philippines and surrounding areas, H. maculozsa from southern Australia and H. fasciata from southeastern Australia. There are clearly several other undescribed species. We will be describing on from northern Queensland, Norman lists 4 other species in his book "Cephalopods: a World Guide", and there are probably at least a couple more species that have been seen further north.
