What is it??

OK spider fans...less Karl....what is it???

Togo starburst ??

ornamental?

Maybe a juvenile ornate baboon ??

blimey that didn't take long!!! Correcto Buddy....I was changing it into my favoured arboreal housings tonight...in so doing this little blighter, faster than greased Weasel poo, was up my arm, over my head and rested on the nape of my neck...Jack came to the rescue though and we eventually got this little guy rehoused!!! All fun here!!!

These guys are lightning fast but normally seem to prefer flight to fight luckily....

ooooooo how I miss my furry 8 legged friends

Duuuude...you don't have to miss them!!!

Did you even have time to think holy crap, cause thats what I would have thought had that happened to me. Good on you Jack

Nice one buddy that was quick

Had a bit of a soft spot for arboreals and baboons here in me day, lol...

so an arboreal baboon was just right up my street !!

No one dug out any horned baboons over here yet ???....well worth hunting out if you want something a little different with bags and bags of attitude !

Ian Millichip has a horned baboon AFAIK.

Tony, thats another cracker T....after You-tubing a few arboreals and seeing how fast they move, thats my nightmare.....them belting out of their enclosure and scuttling all over me. That said, as long as they don't bite then no harm done. I'd say you were a lot more composed than I would've been!

If it wasn't for the spotted abdomen I would've said Pokie too - when you see them climbing like that their legs (to me anyway) give them a very Pokie appearance.

@Morellia, well I did have some horned baboons but Justine has claimed them as hers !!

She brought along C.marshalli last saturday....or rather she brought a small viv with lots of tunnels and webbing that had an added 8-legged thing :)

Very bizarre spider attitude....if they are in good mood then will sit there and not be disturbed by anything (not even a flinch when a crix is added), but if it is a bad day then look out. Very fast.

On saturday, the marshalli was in a very calm good mood.

Nice P.ornata ... do you have more Poecilotherias ... have to send pics of my pederseni, striata etc ... and my 0.1 P.metallica - "diamond" of my birdspiders
