The photo shared is of an uncut key, which I doubt is the actual key used by the OP. The texture of the plastic is similar to third-party replica key blanks I've had experience with. The replicas typically will accept an original transponder/remote module, but can vary quite a bit in the actual execution such that the two halves aren't interchangeable with genuine parts, and sometimes even a genuine remote doesn't fit well enough to work correctly.
It wouldn't surprise me if this key (or the one the OP is actually using) is missing the recess for a screwdriver to wedge apart the halves. If that's the key, the halves still need to be pried apart, and a knife would be a better tool to start attacking the seam than a screwdriver.
