Africa!!!

Not actually sure when it comes to the females (Except for distribution, which obviously helps nothing in hobby specimens).
The males are very different, with junodi males being around the 3cm mark with no tibial hooks at maturity, while breyeri males mature much larger with tibial hooks.[/quot

Thanks for the info Ceratogyrus ,well bear that in mind about the males .

I'm going to try something new here.

About what size are they when you can start to tell the difference if it will be a male or a female? Like I guess when does the horn start to develop? I probably won't know for a year...

 

[AlyeskaWolf]

Been up all night reading about them so I'm ready for my sling, but I didn't find out much with sex, just how they like to be kept.

 

[Ceratogyrus]

Both the males and females develop horns so hard to tell from that. Marshalli from around 6cm I guess

 

[AlyeskaWolf]

H.maculata female

She is impressive. Very pretty.

Oh thanks! See, I'm glad I asked you, cause online I read only females develop horns. However, I trust you more. Lol, Obviously.

The males develop very small horns and some of them lose it at their maturing moult. Most of mine still have little round buttons on the carapace, but never as big as the females horns.

I almost went for a: Ceratogyrus sanderi - Sandy horned baboon. But there is something about the marshalli i just fell for.

Thanks for the info

I've been wanting one of these? What is she like? Besides awesome looking!

 

[Prudance]

In a word: Bold! She walked out of her packaging like she knew she owned the place and then webbed up her home and chowed down within 2 days.
