- Also known as Mombasa Starburst Baboon, Golden Baboon, Golden Monkey, Mombasa Golden Starburst Baboon, Mustard Yellow, OBT (Orange Bitey Thing), Starburst Baboon, Sunburst Baboon, Tan Baboon, Usambar Baboon, Usambara Orange Baboon, Usambara Starburst Baboon.
- This Old World Terrestrial/Burrower is from East-central Africa, and is usually found in the highlands of Kenya and Tanzania (the Usambara mountains).
- Very defensive once they reach 2" or so. If a retreat is available, they'll usually go to it when threatened. However, they will attack if provoked. With this said, this species offers varied "personalities". There are many reports of well-behaved, even calm OBT's. Per our friend Carley Frame, her baby is known as Maximus Pissedoffamus. This species is definitely not for beginners!
- It is an Opportunistic Burrower and will sometimes fill the entire container with thick layers of silk.
