Are OBT Good?

[Pawandinverts]

This is so embarrassing don't laugh at me but I have been keeping tarantulas for 9 years and breeding them but never bought a OBT. I never kept one or I never breed any. I just had no interest in buying one until now. Should I get one? Can someone post a Pic of yours? I want one now because I heard that they are cool Ts and I went to Jamies's Tarantulas site and she has one for $30.00 shipped. Should I buy it? Can I see some pics of yours?
Thanks,
Preston

OBT's are cool little guys. I have never kept one, but everyone I know who has had one has loved it. I know Bast has a young one, and Kenny has them. Keep in mind they are often called "Orange Bitey Things."

I know my cobalt blue is not my nicest tarantula lol.

they're great spiders, the make amazing webs, and are beautiful. way under-rated imo.
not exactly friendly though.

Obts are awesome.. Fast, full of attitude, super colorful, pretty easy to care.. Not really a T to mess with tho.. Their bite is pretty nasty, just like most baboons.

I love our little OBT, Chaos! She's been fairly laid back so far but she is FAST!! She had a really awesome web going on, but when I checked in on her last night she had torn it all down, and dug a small burrow along the side of the container. She's been very interesting so far, and she was also the first of the 3 to moult for us, so that was awesome too. This pic is right after she moulted (she went from about 1.25/1.5 to just over 2").

Exactly what Kenny said. They are beautiful little speed demons!

I'd go for it. They were my first old world and even though it was a crash course in old worlds they ended up being one of my favorite species. I can't own tarantulas without owning a few obts. Their a staple for me.
