I picked it up due to info that it likes to be out, "is pretty chill", looks amazing. It is a baboon though. Mine "goes home" every night and chills in the hide and when the sun's out goes to work webbing everything it might have missed lol. Just chills when the enclosure is moved or the top opened. My OBT, Selenocosmia kovariki (AWESOME BURROWER/ WEBBER), O. phillipinus on the other hand require the catch cup ready anytime the enclosure is opened lol. Long tongs mentioned before and having a wide open floor (I don't like a large secondary container, rather be able to cup immediately on a flat surface without obstructions) and most importantly not becoming complacent.</blockquote>
