Sounds like you are due for a round of molts soon!
Perhaps you need to get a few more T's!

hello.
newbies here.i got OBT sling around 3cm that needed a new container.but dunno how to move it safely as it run very fast...
any idea?

How big is the container it is in now? How big is the new enclosure? if it is currently in a small pill bottle, just remove the cap and stick it in the new enclosure. If you set up the new enclosure right, it will settle down in the new enclosure eventually, then you can remove the old one.
Or plug up all the holes in the bathtub and do your transfer there- just make sure the bathtub is clean and it should have trouble climbing the sides should it get away from you.

I usually make some holes in the substrate then I'll push the OBT into the new enclosure and they will aim for the hole . Works great.

LoL... no la, cause thought they are heavy eater mah.
As for Suntiger i read is an arboreal type, dunno why it was build up a wall of substrate that stick on the vertical coco shell & hide inside


XD... well, is a good thing, if they are really going to molts again.

Now still not a good times for me to add another T

styr: well, a newbie shouldnt start off with an obt in the 1st place actually..lol. they are darn fast~ but since u oledi got it, this is how. make sure u do the transfering inside another big container so that if the obt escapes frm the old container, u could shut the bigger container so that it wont run away n disappear in ur room~

like me, i do it with 2 big container!! with one inside the other~

Oldfart: the container is delicup..and i want to move it into the same size delicup becoz the substrate is full with fungus..the bathtub method sounds good but i have no bathtub..can i use ceramic sink?

leetplayer: my obt never borrow but always make web all over the container.i dont think it interested with hole..hehe..anw thanx alot..ill try..

Izzulogy : obt is not my 1st place la.i have another species already b4 getting the obt.. thanx bro..

I didn't do transfer for the same size of enclosure before, but here's my way to transfer my OBT.

I'm using those wider bath plastic bucket when i transfer my OBT... so when i transfer it, i was scrap out all the old substrate into the new enclosure first...since the old substrate was cover up with webbing & its stick together, so when taking it out will be much more easy, when inside the new enclosure, i'm just slowly, "shoo" it out from the substrate. Once it out then can take out the substrate.

hopefully i cans tay there longer than the first time in tarantula exhibition show.
its really nice experience and its fun to share and learn from others.
i kind of miss the event before i on board the flight.
its nice to know you all in the exhibition. ^^
