The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web. #spider #tarantulas #spidersofinstagram #spider_house_gallery #nature #tarantulasoftheworld #tarantulasofig #arachnoboards #spidergallery #the_spider_room #theraphosid #arachnids #arborealtarantula #tamron #spiderweb #halloween #clicked #canon #creepy #tarantulapet #killer #asianarboreals #deadly #photography #allaboutme #life #traveler #travelblogger #youtubers #nikkindia

I was asked by a friend to try and identify the Baboon Spiders he caught wild and is keeping on display at the Snake Park here in Victoria Falls. With a little coaxing, this little one came out. Now, I've always specialised in Southern African Theraphosidae of the Sub-family Harpactirinae (Baboon Spiders) and I was pretty sure that I knew what this one was; but regardless, I checked using some documents of mine and discovered I was right. Ceratogyrus dolichocephalus, the Cranial Horned Baboon Spider. These little gems aren't seen in the UK pet trade often, and they are endemic to Zimbabwe (only found here). They're hardy creatures that can go months without feeding and build wonderful J-shaped burrows often as much as 4' deep. #zimbabwe #tarantula #baboonspiders #baboonspider #Ceratogyrus #hornedbaboonspider #Africanbugs #Theraphosid #Theraphosidae #harpactirinae #arachnid #spider #mygalomorph (at Victoria Falls)
