Confirm, and confirmed maybe.

Don't patronise me.
I repeat that enclosure is far too wet and OBTs are Semi-arboreal

Why are you behaving like this?

I'm trying to educate you. Why do you insist on ignoring all advice given?

Because I'm trying to listen to my spider too. As well as other people who are also giving me advice as am going. A lot of these people live in my area and I've had them over to my house. I'm not going to keep doing what your suggesting if it doesn't appear to be working.

Have you thought it may be webbing up to avoid the wet?

No, because the enclosure is dry again, and it's still building its dirt curtains. This enclosure is almost completely dry from yesterday. That's not even 16 hours from when I took this picture to now. Hypaecia also ate last night, which is good I think.

Might I add on a previous message I read from you- you experienced mould in this Ts enclosure so you had to rehouse am I right?
mould is often caused by it being to damp-my OBTs are kept dry and have cork bark to climb,also moss isn't needed in a dry species enclosure either

Well I didn't know what to do, I couldn't find the bolas and it started to smell in the enclosure, so I just changed out the substrate. Moss still makes good anchor points for webbing, or are you going to tell me that's not true as well? This enclosure is dry. I mist once a week maybe.

Meal worms look exactly like dry coco fiber when they're a bolas.

anyone who keep Ts knows what bollus looks like- and moss doesn't really make good anchor points for webbing tbh a bit of cork bark and plastic plants are a great place for OBTs to start webbing up and make themselves feel safe and comfortable

When I first bought my spiders I took the advice that you guys gave me to the letter and I ended up with dead spiders. So forgive me if I'm not jumping over myself backwards to fallow your advice. Now, if you don't mind I'd like a "congratulations on your OBT being female". That's what this topic was supposed to be about.

if the advice on this forum caused your spiders die god help the rest of us as our will all be dead too
we all have tried really hard to be helpful and advice to our best capacity but if something goes wrong because you didn't follow it or done your own thing-
members on this forum keep hundreds of spiders with no problems so advice they give is good advice to follow-
the best advice I can give you is not to frequent this forum at all maybe that will help?

You received your Ts on the 26th of April and by the 12th of May you posted a picture of one in a death curl. In that time no one suggested anything at all. Let alone that could result in the death of your slings . To sit there and suggest the advice given lead to their death is unreal. I'm genuinely in shock. You've come out with some very questionable excrement on threads before but this is a new low even for you.

You said my husbandry was poor and I should have my animals taken away. You also said your information was "backed" by Tom Moran. I suggested his video on OBT husbandry and still arguement breaks out.

You can't even take your own advice so how can you blame anyone else's for anything?

Having read the whole thread, I’ll say congratulations on a female but you handled a little advice terribly... you’re only human and we all live and learn, people here have kept Tarantulas for years and own hundreds. If their advice was incorrect then barely anyone on this forum would have anything living.
Take a little constructive criticism with some dignity. I agree OBT’s don’t like wet enclosures they like it dry, a big water dish regularly filled up works very well in high climate areas.
No misting needed.

Now, we've been over this. I live in a desert climate, and I need to mist the enclosure every once in awhile, or my OBT just scrunches up and doesn't do anything. That includes eating. There's plenty of substrate for it to dig. Which should be good sense OBT's are actually fossorial. Now I'm going to assume that it feels comfortable in it's enclosure because it webs everything up regardless of the time of day, and it doesn't bolt when I do actual enclosure maintenance. She's lived like this for four months now. Appears well adjusted, and seems to enjoy the home. Because it doesn't mind my enclosure maintenance. So, no bolting, threat posture or anything like that. Which is what you want, isn't?

They are semi arboreal. Sure they will dig, but they still are semi arboreal. Pokie slings burrow and they are arboreal. Why can’t OBTs be semi arboreal?
