The sound that just left a horrible smell was the sound of my underwear being torn asunder by the massive shock of horror from my nether regions.

I hope a king baboon is not your first tarantula.

Keep your fingers away and good luck seeing it apart from the first week :P

It is my first, and as if id ever put my fingers near it HAHA! I've read up about them and i got her off my mate who is pretty much an expert, so he gives me alot of advice and help

I know they are fast and aggressive and what not, but im no fool and know when to give animals the respect they deserve! (As I have a pretty aggressive snake who i need to handle and feed with immense care haha!) Obviously i'm never going to handle it or the scorpion though lol

I've fallen in love with these creatures! I can't wait to get more

If its an adult you wont ever see it so its probably not much of a problem.

I think if someone gave me a King Baboon as a starter I'd have given up keeping Ts soon after. They tend to burrow and if you're lucky you'll see their legs poking out. The deeper the substrate the deeper they'll burrow. Aggressive with venom to match.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it, when you see it, but I can think of better display Ts.
