Message: <blockquote data-quote="SamuraiLawyer" data-source="post: 25023" data-attributes="member: 2768"><p>Thank you, I may ultimately house this thing in an arboreal type enclosure, with plenty of substrate.  I just don't feel like giving it an even easier way to the top, though it runs right up the deli container plastic like stairs.  I checked on it again this evening.  It had burrowed out from under the small deli cup and was in to the larger deli tub.  I certainly hope that thing holds it, because I think the OBT is still a bit too small for the critter keeper the tub is sealed in.  As a tarantula keeper with 2 days experience, I don't recommend the OBT for beginners.  I actually think the thing will be less terrifying as it gets bigger, or at least more manageable.  The other three T's are no problem so far.  Every day I find the OBT still in its enclosure is a good day.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
