[QUOTE="Chubbs, post: 63688, member: 1084"] Well thank you I certainly appreciate that. I know what you mean though. Sure if it was an Avic or even a Psalmo that got out I'd be worried of course, but it'd be more of a concern if an OBT or something like that got out. Only thing worse than an OBT on the loose would be an S.calceatum on the loose :P Also since we're on the subject of P.murinus, I thought I'd mention this interesting bit of trivia. Not sure if you already know this, but The "OBT" is actually the orange color form of the "Mombassa Golden Starburst Baboon." The orange form or what we refer to as an OBT is currently the most commonly available form of Pterinochilus murinus in captivity, although it used to be the normal color phase (the golden starburst baboon) in years past that was more widely available. The OBT is a somewhat less widespread variation of P.murinus that is found in the Usambara mountain range (Hence why the OBT is commonly called the "Usambara Orange Baboon). There is also a very rare dark color phase of P.murinus that is all black, but I have only seen a few individuals in captivity here and there. Not sure how widespread this color form is in the wild.
