Only four sightings of the new species, and no reports of a bite, so that is extrapolated from other species.
The source article does not mention any aquatic adaptations. So the only evidence for the “amphibious” claim is one guy’s report that his specimen didn’t avoid water when it was trying to get away from him. And it didn’t die immediately when he put it underwater.
