leetplayer : Isn't it a tad bit dangerous to put them that close together? Imho a communal setup should be way larger than that. Haven't tried it out myself though. I'm building an OBT setup as well, still thinking about the decos and shizzos and plus my recent animal addition in to my collection of animals burned quite a hole in my pocket!

HyourinMaru : I believe the whackiest T that can deliver a real memorable bite at the moment is the Stromatopelma Calceata? But then again, best not to mess with them at all regardless the species imho.

speaking of OBT,

here's mine humble OBT enclosure.

but weirdly my andersoni have urticating hair at the back, now baldy already.

Haha, it's quite normal to have a bald old world. It could have scraped its abdomen against something rough.

looking at these pictures really do make my hand itchy.....

after getting one the itch will be much worst

hahaha.... itchy isn't it? nice hobby this is....

Cool! What kind are they? I've got 3 slings and 2 juvies arriving in the next day or two too!

Added on June 15, 2009, 11:20 pmIt's only itchy if you get haired. I don't stick my hand in their cages often so I hardly ever get haired.
I find if they have a safe place to retreat, they tend to retreat rather than stay out and hair. Fortunately I do not own any psycho T's, most just run and hide in their burrows if I have to disturb their enclosures.
It is a great hobby!

Nice cambridgei, I've 4 myself.. can't wait them to grow!

Be careful when changing the water dish- someone on BTS forum just got tagged by a P. lugardi when he reached in to remove the water dish. The T just rushed out of its burrow and BAM! He thought it was safe to reach in with his hands because the T was in its burrow.
