I think a King will be my next addition to my collection. And was looking for some tips on keeping them. Thanks

there are quite a few posts on C crayshawi, just do a search. In a nutshell, give them lots of substrate to burrow in, peat, or a peat/verm mix works well. Once they burrow, you'll probably never see them, but it means you've got a happy king baboon!
keep them on the dry side, with a large waterdish, and you've got the idea.
I've got my female that's about 4' + in a large pickle jar with about 12" or so of substrate. Luckily for me, she burrowed against the side, so I can see her anytime.
