West African Ornamental Baboon
Here is a professional, high-converting Wix Product Description for your store.
Since you are rebranding as Empire Animal Ventures, I wrote this to sound like a high-end exotic dealer. I also added the specific warnings you need because this spider is fast and has potent venom (it is not for the petting zoo side of your business).
Product Title
West African Ornamental Baboon (Heteroscodra maculata)(Also known as: Togo Starburst Baboon)
Short Description (The "Hook")
A ghostly masterpiece of nature. This Old World arboreal species features striking chalk-white and charcoal patterning, making it one of the most beautiful—and fastest—display tarantulas in the hobby.
Long Description (The "Sales Pitch")
Bring the "Ghost of the West African Jungle" into your collection. The West African Ornamental Baboon (Heteroscodra maculata) is famous for its stunning natural camouflage. With a leg span reaching 5-6 inches, its body is covered in velvet-like hair featuring a high-contrast "starburst" pattern of stormy greys, bright whites, and deep blacks.
This is strictly a Display Species. As an arboreal (tree-dwelling) Old World tarantula, the H. maculata is known for two things: incredible speed and potent venom. It is not a pet to be handled, but rather a jewel to be admired behind glass. When established, they will create intricate web tunnels in cork bark, offering a fascinating glimpse into their natural hunting behaviors.

⚠️ Important Business Note for You
Since you are running a "Petting Zoo" and a "Sales" business, you need to be very careful with this specific spider.
Do NOT put this in the "Touch" zone. If a kid gets bitten by an H. maculata, they will be in severe pain (muscle cramps, nausea) and you will get sued/shut down.
Label the cage clearly: "DISPLAY ONLY - VENOMOUS."
Upsell Opportunity: This is the perfect spider to sell with one of your Custom Wood Cages. Pitch it as a "Complete Display Package" for $250.
