I’m going to change your life with one baby spider!

The Togo Starburst Baboon does not threat-posture. It does not rear up and give you a warning. It moves, and then it has already bitten, and the gap between those two events is shorter than most keepers expect the first time they work with one.

That is the honest description of H. maculata. It is also why the right keeper loves keeping one.

Full care guide just published:

Enclosure: tall arboreal, 10x10x14" minimum for adults, positive-latch lid mandatory
Temperature: 76-84°F / Humidity: 70-80% RH, moist lower substrate, cross-ventilation
Feeding: ambush predator, reliable feeder; pre-molt fasting runs 4-8 weeks in adults
No urticating hairs — Old World defense only. Venom is medically significant; any bite gets medical attention
Coloration: cream-and-brown geometric starburst pattern; one of the most visually striking baboon tarantulas in the hobby

The OBT gets its own care guide. Pterinochilus murinus — Orange Baboon Tarantula, Orange Bitey Thing, Pterror — whatever you call it, it earns every nickname. We carry both the OCF (that vivid Usambara orange) and the RCF, and we get asked about care constantly. Also Available is the BCF (Tete) and The DCF (Kigoma). All in one Spot!

Here it is!

What you actually need to know:

Dry terrestrial setup — 40-60% RH, substrate dry to the touch
Secure lid. Not snug. Secure. Binder clips on both sides.
Long tongs for every single interaction — slings bite tongs on day one. It webs its entire enclosure into a tube system, which most keepers are looking for, HEAVY WEBBERS! Sit Back and enjoy the show!

Full guide covering all four color forms (OCF/RCF/BCF/DCF), enclosure tables, feeding schedule, molt signs, and safety:
