I was thinking about a greater sin. Saw no appreciation to the Goddess 0.1 Pelinobius muticus so far in a 'Baboon' based thread.
I was here, lurking; then waiting, struggling, hoping, trying to protect and conserve that little ray of light but no one pointed out her hissing graciousness.

I can't mantain, all alone, the immortal flame at the Goddess altar, ain't Lord Gwyn :-s
Um, ok then. Dont know what to say to that.

Eh, there's nothing to say my man: facts speaks alone. Only Rob Halford singing "A Touch Of Evil" will understand me now :-s

Uh well, at least the Prophet of the Goddess 0.1 Pelinobius muticus, mighty Pterinochilus murinus, is celebrated. Bit of solace :embarrassed:

Have you not heard the ramblings of an old priest about his Goddess? Luck you.

Since this a baboon specific thread, what sp. do you think I should get as my 'first' one? I'm leaning towards P. murinis TCF, P. chordata, P. lugardi, A. ezandami or H. marksi mainly. I'm open to any, but I'd like to have one that's not a pet hole haha.

You didn't mentioned genus Ceratogyrus, they are class, and good 'Baboons' for start. I suggest you one. Plus, that horn :-s

A. ezendami or C. marshalli...both for different reasons....ezendami are simply gorgeous, marshalli are beastly eaters that are pretty much always out. Darlingi is good, too...i'll rate that 3rd.:)

My c Marshalli made a 6" burrow right after unpacking and then molted after 3 days :) it made me a little window in its burrow against the side of the enclosure so I could see it which was really nice of it :happy: It hasn't come out completely while I've been watching but I'm sure it comes out super late at night. Hopefully it'll start to web outside its burrow though so maybe I could see it fully again o_O

Another vote for Ceratogyrus sp., specifically marshalli or darlingi. The darlingi is my personal favorite, has a better temperament than marshalli in my experience.

Have you tried adding more that were not of the same sack? I was wondering because when mine get older if I need a male I didn't know how adding one in would work.

I'll have to rehouse mine in another molt of two. It should be interesting.
I've actually house balfouri in several ways. One communal has 5 adult females and males don't do well with them. I have done a communal with non related juves to start and they did well with no problems grew up nicely. I did a pair as well. They lived together for three years. Then the male passed and she ate him. The key is enough room for them to be comfortable without squabbling over turf.

Ah, cool. As much of a home as they have made the current enclosure, I think I'll need to rehouse them next molt or soon after. Would you just do an enclosure step up where in 6 month or so they need to be moved again or go with something much bigger that with 3 they wouldn't need to be rehoused till adulthood?

Thanks for all the great info. :)
