You've been on the boards since Oct 2014 you must have seen at least 200 threads between then and now asking for OBT care tips.
I received 4 rosea and 4 OBTs and one of each died during shipping.Obts are hardy and versatile...they will thrive in conditions ranging from arid to humid..
Its a no brainer species which is why they are so popular...well that and they breed like roaches,are pretty and cheap.
Slings do best when kept on a moist sub at about an inch and a half start keeping the sub dry..offer a hide or piece of bark for anchor points and a water dish.. Substrate should be deep enough that the t can burrow if it wants...
I won't cover temperament,toxicity and experience level as many people have offered you there opinions on this matter in multiple threads that you have been involved in pertaining to this species.

I'm honestly a little surprised you don't have a better handle on there care. I was just browsing a thread you started when you received those 8 g.rosea and 8 obts slings.There were something like 54 posts containing some really good care tips, on that species..
But anyway how are those little buggers doing?
I know what I need to do I just don't want them to dry out...So you own a bunch of OBT but don't know how to care for them? I'll keep my eye out on the bite reports.
Pretty irresponsible of you, but it happens a lot. People jumping in without doing any research there selfs because they expect the board to spoon feed information.

My OBTs were incredibly easy to rehouse and always retreat to their burrows when I check on them. I already know their toxicity and speed as one did run up my tweezers I always open their deli cup inside a 1 gallon ice cream bucket lined with Vaseline AND I ALWAYS have a catch cup ready. Thanks for the tips and everything .And dozens of threads warning beginners not to get OBT's until they have some experience under their belt.
I've been using our large table as well. My wife uses all sorts of witchy brews in the bathtub and I'm not sure I want my T crawling on that residue.I rehouse on a large table and try to walk it into the new enclosure,using a prod.It doesn't always work and they tend to run onto the table and I put a catch cup over them and transfer them that way...

I use 4oz deli cups for my 2i OBT slings, you'll want to go with 16oz or even 32oz by the time they are 5i-6iWhat size deli cup would be decent for 2I OBTs?
I dont blame you i would be afraid her potions would turn it into a frog or something? Lol! Or worse!!!! Rosy O'Donnell!!!!! Ewwww!My wife uses all sorts of witchy brews in the bathtub and I'm not sure I want my T crawling on that residue.

Well, you eat a mouthful and tell us how you feel a few hours later.So it's quite bad for them... I will not have them near it again thanks for the warning.
