Notes:   A single adult male baboon spider was seen around 9pm on Saturday 3rd December at our house on the San Sebastian Peninsular or Sanctuary Game Reserve as it is known. There was a dead male about a metre away - also showing the same purple coloration. Following a tough drought there had been approximately 180mm of rain two weeks previously. Please call me 0825648333 for further information. I have put an urgent request through to my staff and the Sanctuary Manager Mr Guillaume van Wyk to look for more males.
