I currently have two baboon species. I have two h macs one I know for sure is a male and I have several obts. To me my h macs are less high strung than the obts but I guess I got lucky and got two calm ones but it really depends on the spider.

I currently have 3 species of baboons.

0.0.1 Pterinochilus murinus (Juvenile)
0.0.1 Pterinochilus chordatus (Juvenile)
0.0.1 Ceratogyrus bechuanicus (Juvenile)

The Bechuanicus and Chordatus are your typical pet holes.
I've got the Murinus in a semi-arboreal setup and it's like a pet hole in that it never leaves its web.

I hope to get an H. maculata and an S. calceatum soon.

King Baboon, female
HMAC female
OBT female

My Hmac is probably the most active and beautiful.
The OBT is the heaviest webber, I like that.
My king Baboon on the other head has the best appietite and the funniest looking legs. She is my fav. Too bad I don't see her very well, she is alwys in her burrow.

1 king baboon
1 H. mac
3 S. calceatum
2 H. gigas

Of these my favorite is my King sling. "She" is such a character, not quite two inches and full of attitude already.

0.0.2 C. darlingi (or are they marshali? hmmm)
0.1.0 H. gigas
0.1.1 P. murinus
0.2.0 E. pachypus

I'll probably e getting more though. Baboons are definitely my burrowers of choice. Way cooler than those persnickety "earth tigers"...

Thanks for the posts.

So far we have:
1.2.2 OBT's
0.0.1 H mac

I'm looking to really expand our African collection, not just tarantulas but scorpions, snakes, lizards, fish, amphibians?, and maybe even birds.

We did just adopt out our white bellied hedgehog.
