97. I was reading wiki on King Baboon Tararuntula and it states "a bite from a baby (1 cm body length) of this species caused sharp pain and strong hallucinations and the place of the bite remained itchy for five days." I have not found much in the bite reports about these hallucinations and associated effects or science behind the venom.
That's probably good advice, but got me wondering what exactly is a baboon spider? There are three broad subfamilies commonly called baboon spiders. One is Harpacterina or Southern Baboon Spiders, which includes genera like Pterinochilus and Ceratogyrus. A second is Stromatopelminae, or Western Baboon Spiders which includes the Stromatopelma ...
Others value king baboons highly because it's a real treat to see them once in a great while. In such a cage they almost always fill their water dish with soil, so it's almost silly to supply them one. Instead, get into the habit of pouring 1/4 to 1/2 cup of room temperature, tap water down the burrow every week or two.
Last night, at about 11pm, I decided to remove the uneaten 1/2 cricket from my King Baboon's little deli-cup enclosure. I removed the lid and, using tweezers, picked up the carcass. The sling was not above the surface. Suddenly the sling appeared from one of the many tunnels and climbed out of...
Thanks for the pic reference. I figured it wasn't a King Baboon when I saw it but I am fairly new to the hobby and wanted others opinions that have more experience. Thanks again. Thanks everyone for clearing this up. I figured it wasn't a King Baboon but wanted to ask more experienced hobbists opinions and such. I am fairly new to keeping ...
Care and husbandry requirements for P. muticus are simple in comparison to Theraphosa. You will get a more colourful spider at the same size and a better attitude problem. For a fraction of the price. and last but not least .... NO HAIRS!! 4. 1. Nov 13, 2016. #4.
There are a lot of species of 6 eyed sand spiders. There are Sicarius sp and Hexophthalma sp. Sicarius thomisoides are 99.9% of the time the ones you find for sale. They have the less potent venom compared to say Hexophthalma hahni. Fantastic little spiders to own (I have 3) and will be well worth the wait.
Chiming in late. I say king baboon all the way. They used to have one at the SAN Diego zoo in a very large enclosure with birds and a few other small mammals. It was so large I had to ask the keeper what it was. His reply was king baboon then he said and people think goliaths get big. It was always out for all to see.
it could: i am finishing the documentary The King Baboon Spider & The Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo. I am very well corrected. Some species definitely make perpendicular burrows.
Dec 29, 2002. Messages. 716. Considering that the males are much smaller and more spindly than the females, they should be called "Queen Baboon". Anyway, definitely one of my favorites. I've noticed they are significantly more active and grow much faster when kept in moist substrate like their Hysterocrates cousins.
