    Considered to be one of the most dangerous animals in Cuba. Their bite won't kill you but will give you a nasty infection if left untreated. They can also cause an allergic reaction, so seeking medical attention is advised.

    Sufficient substrate is needed for burrowing. This T stays outside its burrow most of the time.
