Message: <blockquote data-quote="SpiderDad61" data-source="post: 79764" data-attributes="member: 4152">My OBT mostly runs into its tube hide when I disturb it, but many times, when I catch it off guard and it gets spooked, it'll throw a threat pose and strike all around itself. I can easily see why many say it's not a beginner T, but I was never one to go along with the norm. As long as u keep ur hands and fingers away, you'll be fine. Keep its substrate dry, it's water bowl filled, and it's home mostly clean, and ul never have an issue....until it's transfer time. When that time comes, watch the many videos around, because it's definitely when big problems can arise.</blockquote>
