[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 194494, member: 3458"] Although OBTs have a bad reputation I've always found they are more likely to run and hide than to throw a threat pose. My advice is to keep all movement around them slow and gentle so you don't spook them. A few tips:- 1/ If you don't give them a lot of substrate to burrow in they will become arboreal constructing lovely web funnels. 2/ When you rehouse them put them into a larger container than you would normally to save too many rehouses. 3/ Invest in some long tongs for maintenance 4/ Don't be surprised if it appears to have grown with no sign of its moult, they have a habit of using bits to decorate the inside of their burrow, webbing etc. then they'll have a clear out and leave a bundle of bits for you to clear away. 5/ Sit back and enjoy that glorious colour.
