OBT Setup HELP!!

[davidlottr]

hi i have a OBT and i want to make a nice setup for him/her i wanted to ask if anyone knows what sort of thing would need to do, i have him/her in a tank with some eco earth and a hide and water dish but i wanted to know is this is ok or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks

I found OBTs will either burrow, or go arborial. I prefere the arborial look, then they will web the hell out of it. Might be worth putting some sort of branch vertically. Or a plastic plant. something that it can web up and form its own hide on.

bit of humidity. You will likely be fine. Not a difficult species to keep. Thats if you exclude thier speed and nasty bite. lol

thanks it has spun a web but only on the floor an a little on the side, i got it from a pet shop, and was toldd nothing, how much humid do they need? i have a load of moss could i put that in? i have posted a thing on here with the set up for my pink toe would that be ok (its under my setup)

Thanks

My OBT is prefering his arboreal set up. He has a large branch in there and he has webbed a beautiful mass of tunnels behind it. Mine is quite happy with a spray every few days and a small water bowl.

They tend to be quite hardy.

Would a pokie set up be good for it?

*Scratches chin*

Someone had pics of their pokie set up on here, a few days ago.

Looked the business.

cant say i measured the exactly humidity. I would just give it a spray once or twice a week. The set up that is, not the spider. lol

If this is ur 1st spider im shocked the shop sold you it. These things are renounded for being mental. Not a good beginner species is the general consencous. Very fast and have a nasty bite apparantly. But if you treat it respect and much much fear you should be fine lol. Just dont try and pic it up.

Stand a few branches up in the container, will give it more scafolding work with for constricting itself a hide out of web. Will likely hide away most of the day in there and you will catch it wanderin about when it gets darker.

They are red.

Anything with red hair(sic) is mental.

I should know.

I have specialised in red haired females.
