She was a snappy adult to say the least.
she would flatten out and then launch a flip flop attack biting anything in range. VERY dangerous if not ready.
This species is not a starter hot.
Bites are neurotoxic and have caused anaphalaxis so be prepared.

I had one that looked like that. Do you know the sub. spiecies?
The one I had was very calm and very easy to handle. The variations in temperment are amazing.
