Info:  This species has a medium growth rate.  I would now recommend this species to beginners of their potent venom.  However, this species of old world can be fairly docile yet can still threat pose as it is skittish.  The golden and blue coloration on this species is stunning and while fossorial you will catch this species out and about more often than other.
