any type really, just doing my research and wondered what they are like to keep? obviously theyre fast and bitey, but anything else would be really useful!

Thanks,
Moose xxx

is that H.maculata I take it? mines a pet web I very rarely see it and when ever I have had t do maintenance its a nightmare so fast and it doesnt stop mines not really bitey though just flighty

I have 8, some babies that tend to burrow, and a few adults that have gone arborial. The babies are not that bad, but the adults are very defensive. They are very simular to the pokies and would rather run, but will bite if they feel they have to.

theyre the NCF of P.murinus
the RCF aka the usumbara red/orange baboon is the more commonly seen of them though...very mad Ts

The H.maculata is nothing like the P. murinus. The H.maculata is 100% arborial as an adult and the look of them is as far as a great dane to a yorkshire terrier. They are totally different T's and require different conditions. Yes, both are very aggressive, but thats all they have in common.

mombassa starburst baboons are normal form p.murinus as far as i am aware and thats what the OP asked for information on
*just saw that H.maculata are togo starburst...i didn't know which one was meant..my apoligises*

No offence but you are wrong. The H.maculata is known as the 'ornamental baboon'. This is because they resemble the ornamentals (Poecilotheria) genus. The P. murinus has nothing in common with the maculata at all.

edit: read my post back and realised it sounded retarded.

i meant P. murinus by the way!

__________________

Basic care: When young they tend to burrow, when older they become arborial. They are aggressive/nervous and have pretty bad venom. They are very fast and are known to escape when being rehoused (so be careful, lol). They make nice webs and once comfortable they tend to stay in them. They like a good amount of humidity so they need to be sprayed often (I do it every 2-3 days).

Any more quuestions just ask

no bitchfight here...just a case of misunderstanding the term 'starburst baboon' which is given to both the mombassa starburst being the P.murinus and the H.maculata being the togo starburst and my post looked like i was quoting Siuk saying that the H.maculata was just a NCF p.murinus which i didn't..reason why scientific names are better understood than common names
