King Baboons?

[Glen Feasey]

Hi all, i am looking for a King Baboon to add to my collection. I know they used to be named something like Citharisious crawshayi? Please excuse me if i am wrong! All that besides, are they still named the same or have they changed names since i was last in the hooby 8 years ago?

Their Scientific name is still Citharischius crawshayi
The common name used for the different species may vary from person to person. For this species I have seen King Baboon and King Kenya used.

Yep still a King Baboon, (not heard them called King Kenyans or Kenyan Baboons for ages, that took me back to earlier days Robin)
Lovely looking spiders. higher temp, normal humidity at least 6 inches of substrate, maybe a bit of cork bark or a log to decorate the tank and you have a pet hole for 70% of the time, but the other 30% makes up for it when it's out and about.

Yes, but they're still, after all this time, just a big ginger spider. There was a thread a few years ago regarding this - the results were overwhelming.......

I've just got one of these beauties, about 4" at the moment so still some growing to do, there's a pic of it in the photos section

Pete, do i take it from your post that these are not one of your favourite T's? Your response read a little negative?

[Simon Batten]

I like them, aggressive little sods though
