C versicolor.

I put these in chronological order. The changes are simply amazing. Everyone should have one. Small slings like mine can be delicate. Even though I had no problems, some say to get them only if they're better then 1.5" DLS.

It has a much better camera then the S8+ does. That's why I specifically got that model. It's a dual lense camera with a really good flash. It actually can talk one pic with the rear camera combining both lenses.

Motorola also has a camera phone with one that attaches to the back but I don't know much about that one.

Mine was a massive Chaco! :D
I was so terrified of spiders then and was so scared to open the tub it was posted in, and there it was! All 5mm of it! :rolleyes::T:
First proper one was a juvenile hamorii too! That was much bigger and I thought what have I done! I’m too scared of spiders to have that in the house!
Now I’m 10 tarantulas in with another ten to come I’ve given up rational thinking.

How difficult was it to have the OBT as your first one?

And escapes, or other adventures?

She was a perfect angel, I never had any threats from her, she'd run for cover if I disturbed her. The worst I had was a slating from that other forum for being so stupid as to buy an OBT.
My second was a Pokie :):rolleyes:.

seems OTBs get a bad rep -they don't deserve that ;-( it seems to be an individual trait as to their nature-
I guess that's why @Enn49 loves this forum and not the others-far too judgemental!

It's one of the reasons I joined here.

I bought that 1st OBT as a juvenile so I'd never had to rehouse her so not long before she died I'd bought a Usambara sling too just so I could experience that. This one is just as shy, it's about 2" now and I also have a Tete that is more confident but still not aggressive.
