OBT Owner: Mackenzie and Cassandra
Time in enclosure: About 5 months
Humidity: No water dish, but our room is humid, so about moderate
Approx Temp: Usually around 80

We keep ours in an arboreal set up. He's about 2.5"-3". When we first put him in, he built a sort of trapdoor burrow, but abandoned it after his first molt with us. Then he really started to web up a lot.







And a shot from the top

Time in enclosure: About 1 month, give or take.
Humidity: Bone Dry, lightly misting once a week.
Approx Temp: High 70's to low 80's


This is my OBT's primary retreat entrance.


This is the secondary one. There is a third one in the back behind the second hide, but that's a tunnel-system.


Compare the OBT webbing with one of my GBB slings who have been in their enclosures for only about 3 weeks.

Here are my guys... no one has ever burrowed. Aidan has always built web tunnels, I just LOVE how cute Kubota's little hide is.. and the "middle murinus" (lol) just hangs out, though she started a little webbing in the bottom corner.

Sorry for the crap pictures of the larger two... I am currently losing a battle between me and my camera haha

For all of them...
OBT Owner: Teal
Time in enclosure: Almost 2 months
Humidity: Honestly, I have NO idea. Frequent misting
Approx Temp: Room temp (in the 70s)

OBT #1 - "Aidan", 2.75"

View from the front:


View from the back - That is a hollow log of wood, and his web tunnel is down into it


View from the top, it is solidly webbed:


OBT #2 (no name) almost 2"



OBT #3 "Kubota" 1/2"

The web tunnel goes all the way through, with an exit in the back. There is the obvious round web opening, but also in the lower righthand corner is a "lower" exit

Wow, austen, that looks so cool! And in 5 days time as well..

One of my tiny OBT's always builds a tunnel web at the top of the enclosure so when I take the lid off, it rips it up -____-

Thanks Maitre. I hope mine covers the whole tank. It was in a 4X4X5 Michael's cube with 1" of substrate and completely filled it with webbing but this thread started right after after I switched them so no pics.

Imagine what this tank will look like in 5 months! Hopefully insanely webbed up. I used to not like T's that web a lot but lately.. it's really, really growing on me.

Yeah right. A 2.5g completely webbed. I hope it does. It really seems like a heavy webber too.
