[QUOTE="Nicolas C, post: 70751, member: 3795"] Great answer, Chubbs. And great informations about the care and character of both these spp. You are right about the almost identical look of young S calceatum and H maculata. The clue which made me think it could be a maculata was the name given by the dealer: "Ornamental baboon", which is sometimes given to maculata (never to calceatum). But as we both know, common names given by dealers can be completely misleading! As you said, the best is to wait for some more molts and it will be possible to say exactly what this sp. is. I don't know in the USA, but in Europa we have another African arboreal sp. regularly available: Encyocratella olivacea. As you said, it's a real treat to see them out (I've seen my calceatum early this morning... it makes my day!), that's what I like with the hidden spp. [/QUOTE]
