Fast!
A 1"+ sling (male) to maturity can take 16 months as one of mine did. Females average around 2 years.
All dependent on temperature and how often you feed. It varies.
Going to have to disagree, this is one of the slowest growing baboons I've kept. They rush to get to 2", then slow way down. My 3" juvie hasn't molted in over 6 months.
Growth rate varies from t to to.. even the same sp, from the same genus. You could have 10 sackmates, housed the exact same, and get 10 different results
I see..thanks for the info guys. Got 2 H.Mac slings last week. Around 1/4" each. I guess it will take times before I get to see that ghostly appearance.

agreed, one of the slower growing baboons for sure.
Slings can be very sensitive to cage conditions as well....ive found them to be one of the more tricky slings to raise. Ive found drier is better than damp.
