For example a heavy wrap around plastic apron of some sort? Nervous about this bread. All those bites happened because I was not carefu l when handling them. They don't actually describe what happens. At the time of the bite I took 2 antihistamines plus both ibuprofen and paracetamol.
Mar 8, 2012. If you disturb the obt to make it threat pose then it serves you right, I'm sorry but I have no sympathy.I'm new to thus. They are commonly fed crickets, cockroaches, and grasshoppers. Consequently, it is not recommended that hobbyists keep this species without extensive prior experience handling venomous spiders. These colour variants are found in different geographical locations, and the colouration is thought to be related to the type of soil present where each variant lives. Most pages just say it's painful, blah-blah-blah. I am using coco coir. I myself just received my OBT today, thanks for the heads up.Looks like mymresearch before purchase attitude hasmpaidnoff yet again.....saw one of these spiders for sale and thought it was absolutely gorgeous.....after reading this i think i will continue admiring it from inside the storei really want OBT but after reading this makes me think ten times :'(Hi, can i ask a question?

Next morning and I have slight cold/flu symptoms, the hand of the finger tagged has joint aches.
Orange Baboon Tarantula Bite. I can relate to most of the symptoms. The orange baboon tarantula is very defensive, and will bite immediately if provoked. How much trouble would it be to don something bite resistant? I have a sling OBT, i think i will be more careful than if i had not read this :)https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/260450 A girl in the story was so tortured by one of thoseOBT = Orange Bitey Thing, no more needs to be said, I agree with i'll stick to my curly hairs lol!So scary but I just bought two adult OBT without prior knowledge of its notoriety. I purposely disturb them so that they would give a threat display. I think it's 9 weeks old. Although their venom is not known to be lethal to humans, it is considered medically significant and thus it is advised to avoid handling this species. This species is incredibly defensive and, as with most old world tarantulas, should not be held. Have you yourself, or anyone else ever been bitten by poecilotheria regalis, or nhandu chromatus? On those 3 occasions, it was my fault.
They have a very intense orange colour and they are indeed very beautiful to look at, especially after a moult.This photo below shows the OBT in threat display. Beautiful creature though and the last spider I ever purchased.Great stuff!
And have been given a small obt. Now i.
