I just purchased a togo starburst baboon and it has not been sexed via molt. And i dont know when it'll molt. I see that this is a colourful specie. Is there any way i can i dentify its sex via pattern colours etc.

I’m not sure if H. maculata are sexually dimorphic or not at maturity. Unless someone such as @Arachnoclown chimes in stating otherwise, I’m going to say colors and pattern are not viable indicators of its sex.

Does this help, i read that coloration plays a role in sexing a maculata.

Yes they are sexually dimorphic, however it's the females that change and get their lighter coloration. As slings they are all the same color.

How big is the H. Mac? I am pretty good ventrak yexing, but I don't see any evidence of adult "sex organs".

Difficult to say because the pic is blurry.
