The OBT I got as a juvenile, my first ever T, so I have no experience of slings but my girl is rarely seen and more likely to run and hide than to attack. They are stunning and as long as you are aware of their reputation and treat with care using tongs/tweezers for maintenance I wouldn't worry too much. The P. irminia I had from a tiny sling and never had a problem. He sadly matured recently and because I know he's not got long to live, I have just bought another sling, hoping for a female this time so I'll have the pleasure of its company a bit longer. Both species are fast but both beautiful Ts.</p></blockquote><p></p>
