Pterinochilus murinus (RCF | 3rd instar)
Pocock, 1897
Common name: OBT/ Usambara Baboon
(File attached is the actual photo of the mother.)
This specie is incredibly defensive and should not be held. The bite of this specie, while not serious, is extremely painful. Moreover, the OBT is more than willing to inflict such a bite before presenting the typical threat display. Caution when dealing with this species is advised.
OBT Bite Report: "The venom of an OBT is by no means mild, but generally considered not as potent as other species such as Poecilotheria spp."
