They're very interesting, I prefer OW personalities and work ethics.
I have had that species, and I currently have C. marshalli (this species has the LARGEST horn, up to 1 cm!). They aren't friendly, they EAT! My 1/2" spiderling is eating about 2 crickets every other day.
What kind of growth rates have you observed? I've only owned an adult, and my marshalli is my first horned spiderling. Thanks
I have a couple slings left that I hatched out in March that are almost 3" now. They love to dig and are voracious eaters.
Some males also get the horns. C.darlingi, brachycephalus, marshalli.I have a question about Ceratogyrus: what are the horns for? Also, is it true that only females have the horn?
Sorry for jacking your topic, driller.
Are you sure? I haven't come across that at all. What I know is that the males just get little nubs. Their horns aren't proportionately the same size as females'
Yes, I'm sure.
Kinda like, how deep is a hole?
The guy lives in South Africa, he has a whole bunch of baboon spiders, and his forum name is 'Ceratogyrus', and you think he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to horned baboon spiders?
Ah I see now..Thanks man! True a hole is a hole! I was thinking about the female size's horn as "the HORN" =)Yes, I'm sure.
Nowhere did I say they were the same size as the females though.
After all, a horn is a horn.
Poec, you are being absolutely CRAZY to put it politely. I don't care what someone's user name, I don't care what country is listed as a location. Why? Because people can list anything they want, or had you forgotten that?
He's posted some very good information here, especially about Africa T's. He knows his stuff. Rather a distrusting and suspicious person aren't you?
So let me get this straight, before I reply to someone's post such as his, I should check a person's profile (btw Cerato has no species listed NOR am I implying he should) and then comb through all the posts a person may have and determine if they are knowledgeable or not on a given subject BEFORE I reply???? OR maybe I should have PM'd him and given him with 100 questions on African Baboons to determine his level of knowledge?? IF you even think I have the time to go through everyone's posts and determine the person's background, you are pure crazy. This is a forum where we have on-line discussions, hence my reply to his response.
You could be calmer, and a bit more trusting. But to each his own.
I'm calm Poec, just emphasizing that's all. Trust has nothing to do with this.
No, sometimes it takes a little bit. I give mine a piece of cork to hide under, which usually leads to digging. Just make sure the substrate is fairly dry and ventilation ample.
