M. balfouri (Socotra Island Blue)

Just got my new M. balfouri. Anyone have any useful info on them?

I like the "casual" approach you are taking! ;P That's kind of like someone saying, "I just picked up my new Ferrari. Anyone know what kind of mileage I should expect?" Either you have a very subtle way of bragging, or you are very good at hiding your emotions. If I had a M. balfouri, I think I would at least have an exclamation point and maybe a smiley in my post somewhere! Oh yeah, and such a post requires a pic!

I'll get a pic up as soon as i find my camera. She is still small, only about
1 1/2".

Looking forward to it!

Why do I get the feeling you just want to brag? I sure am jealous. Congrats! I can't really find any good care sheets or info on it, but it is a baboon species so I would keep it like any other baboon species.

contact James@blaberus.com for accurate care on these. He has bred them...
Personally; I would have done my research BEFORE I spent that kind of money on a sling.....
Congratulations on being one of the few to own one, though.

I have two and have searched high and low for info to no avail. But they are eating well and web everything in sight.

There is a Chezc site which has alot of photos but everything written is in Checz. Wish they had a translation!!!

Enjoy your sling, they will burrow, have at least 3 entrances, and then they web over the whole thing heavily.

This is only a couple of days after being re-housed, its almost completely covered today.
PIG-

Rochelle, thanks for the tip with contacting James. I did do research; its just hard to find any reliable useful info that i already don't know. And who said i paid any money lol...

He did ? :?

I agree with Chris, just about anything you want to know about them is in the last BTS Journal.

later, Tom

I think this assumption comes about because he had babies for sale but those are all European imports.
