Very good choice with the G. Aureostriata, very low maintenance in my experience even as slings, and as was already pointed out, they have quite an appetite. I got mine as a 3/4" in sling and she's almost 3" now. only about 1 year 6 mos later.
Last I heard they were very difficult to get a hold of, New Zealand born sp. of this kind are considered rare and very little, if any, importing is done (to the U.S.). But I have heard that they are a very docile bunch, and good keepers.:)

Fearsome
Baboon, below I will share with you the most frightening, near apocolyptic Crawshayi that has ever walked on this planet. It has driven several visitors to my house completely mad, running in all directions, she is simply put...insane...
I apologize for the horrible photography...
