t man,
Do you know the scientific name for the T ?
If not, what color is it ?
Starburst baboon is a common name for P. murinus, or Usumbara orange baboon. But it could also be H. maculata, or Togo starburst..
Theres a picture on this site of the P. murinus.. You can do a search of both those names and get pics. and info. by clicking the search buttom at the top of the page, and type in the name.

Here's a pic of my P. murinus who was also sold to me as a "Sunburst Baboon." Before I bought her I went home and looked the spider up on the net to be absolutely sure what she was.
Does yours look like this? She's only 1"

Usambars are Orange, the others are a yellowish brownish.

I KNOW the usmbars are Orange because we have one.

Isnt a P murinus called a SUNburst baboob and not a STARburst baboon?

Well, actually it's a Mombasa Golden Starburst....but I bought mine from a pet store, hence the "Starburst Baboon" thing.

you guys this is so cool i woke up this morning and i found out that she had molted durring the night and i had her for only a week now
i gues that was why she wasnt eating

i know this kind is an old world so it is difficult to predict a molt exept when they stop eating and i thought she wasnt eating because she was streest from the moving

ill try to post some pics

returning to my q do any of you guys have info on this spec a care sheet or something-

i was under the assumption that p. murinus referred to the gold/brown colored pterrors.

but mine was sold to me also as a starburst baboon--probably because of the star-shape on the carapace. i suppose name mix-ups are common when dealing with petstores.

What's the difference? It's a common name. A shop on this side of town may call it a "Starburst", one on that side of town may call it "Sunburst", one on the other side may call it a "Orange Fire Eating Baboon". As far as common names go, especially within a genus of which the official species names aren't really well known, (such as Pterinlchilus) common names are pointless to help id a particular sp..
