[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 80221, member: 3458"] I got my OBT 2 years ago (she was my 1st T) when she was just a fraction smaller than yours and I put her into a 12"Wx12"Dx18"H ExoTerra which has saved me from having to rehouse her. She has never burrowed but made a web at the top corner and then a web tunnel down the back corner. She lived in that for quite a while and then constructed a cave at the bottom made of web and substrate. Now she just enlarges the cave as necessary. I rarely see her but when she chooses to appear she is a beautiful sight and uses the full height of her enclosure. Every few months she'll clean out the rubbish from her cave and leave it for me to clear away. I always do maintenance while she's hidden away keeping one eye on her doorway and I always use a pair of long tongs to remove debris. Get yours into a bigger container and always remember that they are fast and have a bad reputation and you'll be fine. [/QUOTE]
