The Straight Horned Baboon Tarantula, known scientifically as Ceratogyrus marshalli, is a remarkable and distinctive species within the tarantula community. This species is particularly known for its unique physical characteristic: a straight, horn-like projection on its carapace. Native to southern Africa, the Straight Horned Baboon Tarantula is a part of the 'Old World' tarantulas, recognized for their more potent venom and defensive nature. The species displays a color palette typically consisting of earthy browns and grays, aiding in camouflage in its natural habitat. Due to their temperament, they are more suited to experienced tarantula keepers.
Origin:
Ceratogyrus marshalli is native to southern Africa, particularly adapted to dry and semi-arid regions. They are often found in burrows, which they construct in the ground.
Temperature:
The ideal temperature range for this species is between 75-85°F (24-29°C), with a humidity level of around 40-50%. These conditions mimic the drier climates of their natural habitats.
Housing:
A terrarium for a Straight Horned Baboon should include a deep substrate for burrowing, as they are a fossorial species. The enclosure should also provide hiding places and a water dish. It's important to ensure the enclosure is secure, as tarantulas can be escape artists.
Feeding:
Their diet typically consists of insects such as crickets, roaches, and mealworms. Feeding should be done once or twice a week, adjusting based on the tarantula's size and appetite.
Lifespan:
In captivity, Straight Horned Baboon Tarantulas can live for several years, with females generally outliving males. Proper care and a suitable environment can significantly contribute to their longevity.
Behavior and Personality:
Ceratogyrus marshalli is known for its defensive behavior and can be quick to show aggression when threatened. They are not recommended for handling due to their quick reflexes and the potency of their venom.

Good quality using as a small tank for shrimp.Holds about 4-5 litres. Goof value for money
The postage cost was ridiculous, €9 to post within Ireland is scandalous. However, the sand itself was decent
Excellent service as always, looking forward to the spring time when this Lily will be in full effect :)
Not alone was the price and packaging very good but the pansies are of good quality. God love them, I planted and the following day we had the storm! They are all thriving😋
I purchased a pair of Simmia Japonica Passion from Newlands last month.
They were delivered within three days, so had them in time for the weekend. They were very well packaged which kept them safe during transit. They were a really healthy pair and are now thriving in the garden.
I loved the Venezuelan Suntiger Tarantula, Psalmopoeus irminia, that I bought from your website. I received excellent service at the store when I went to pick it up, and the employee working that day made herself available in case I had any questions. The tarantula was very healthy and beautiful. I’m very happy when I find well-cared-for animals with proper attention. Excellent.
Excellent experience with Newlands . I had a query re changing an order . Kelly was fantastic - she sorted everything out quickly and effectively . Delivery was impressive - Mark arranged a day that suited me . I would certainly order from Newlands again .
Asters delivered promptly and very carefully packaged, almost instant refund for an item out of stock. Kept informed throughout. What’s not to like. Great product, great service!
Good size for strawberries. Stable when filled

Perfect, I got a new fish recently but within a couple of days I noticed white spots forming all over him. I found this treatment for such a reasonable price and decided to order it. It solved the problem in 3 days and now my fish is so happy.
