Horned Baboon Tarantula

Ceratogyrus darlingi

Description:

Horned Baboon Tarantula

Habitat:

The Horned Baboon Tarantula should be provided with an enclosure of atleast 4 gallons in volume. Vertical room is not really a priority as they prefer to stay at ground level, however, the enclosure should be large enough for you to provide a deep substrate as this species will produce extravagent burrows. Floor space is important to allow places for your spider to explore, and an improvised shelter such as a hollow log or a decorative cave used in aquariums should also be included.

Notes:

Known as the Horned Baboon Tarantula, this is a strange species of tarantula having a horn like bulge on its carapace. They are generally an all over brown colour and are known to be aggressive and unsuitable as a beginner pet.
