I hope this genic is bred. How beautiful, and impressive!

Yikes, that is a big baboon...I second the "don't get bit" sentiment!

Surprisingly docile for the size, I think once they get like that they mellow out... That genic of Frans destroys her in chunkiness though, The back legs are what give KBs that length, all other legs are shorter... I'll get a pic of my Rosea she is huge too, about 12 years old.

Getting a full measurement is hard, she may not be the full 7" but she is definately the 6.5-7 region.

So docile too, can manipulate her without any problems.. I don't want to risk injuring my T's to get full measurements so I can only hope they fully extend so I can guesstimate.

A. geniculata has been recorded at 8" max right? Like Fran said, you can see the carapace is abnormal... You are lucky to have her, that has gotta be one of the biggest bodied T's in the hobby..

Bigger than that I believe. Closer to/at 9" IIRC.

Wow larger than I thought, according to a lot of sites, 8.5" is their max, if Fran was made aware his post is back, he could update us on her, it has been 2 years, enough time for a shed or two.

10" I would love to see, that is almost unheard of, I would more than likely believe 9" is the max, and some change.. A baboon of this size would be extremely rare, have you seen my "Hysterocrates hercules" Ultum? It is a similar size to the type specimen and has some unique features... I tried contacting Gallon but have been unsuccessful.

I know you were interested before from an old post.

Her abdomen was the size of a racket ball lol That little male was a brave one, was a site to see him push her back!!

That male is TINY. did she feast on him after pairing? I currently have a big female (@ 6-1/2" DLS) that ihave been trying to pair up with a good sized male (@7-1/2" DLS) He is more than willing but all she seems to do is run away, curl up, or flick hair like crazy. Just doesn't seem interested.
