Welcome, OBTs as your first is a bit ballsy, they are slings though I suppose. OBTs are like terminator with how hardy they are you won't need too much advice other than being cautious of their temperament.
Be prepared for anything, very fast, very defensive and love to try to escape. Have plenty of catch cups at the ready. Aggressive eaters and really web up an enclosure once they settle in, then they are hard to see, til next feeding. [emoji4] Slings need more humidity, so a lightly moistened substrate, along with a water dish (if space is allowed), fed every 3-4 days and I keep my slings at 80-82 degrees.Hya all new ere,just gt two obt slings so any advice would be great...
Good luck and welcome aboard.

Hi. I too started with an OBT, a female juvenile. As Therasoid says once they settle in and web up you hardly ever see them, I go months without seeing her.
