Meanwhile species like Augacephalus or Ceratogyrus which are much better starter old worlds get completely ignored. These are fast and skittish, but not as defensive as many other baboons, and their venom is rather mild for an OW. Why not get one of these before an H.maculata or OBT?  They'll get you used to the speed, but you won't have to worry about the venom. Guess all We can do at this point is hope for the best.</p></blockquote><p></p>
