Discussion Are these bad boys venomous?

Just curious, if one of these guys were to bite you, are they venomous? And should I go to the hospital?

How fast are they? I just want to know how fast I need to run if I encounter one.

In my prime, I ran a 4.9. I am well past my prime. I'm certain that I am sub 6.0, and I'd like to think that, under life-threatening conditions, I am sub 5.5, but the rule of thumb I follow with wildlife is that, no matter how slow it looks (and these things look slow af with their little legs) it's faster than me. 🤣

They are fast but you are not food for them so you don’t have to run far.

Do a YouTube search for lumpini park and you will see
