O. aureotibialis care

[Venom1080]

trying to learn to care for all my dream spiders before i get them. anybody have any care info on this one? ive heard to keep it like a haplo, is that true??

Keep them like any other Asian burrower, Deep moist substrate, good ventilation to prevent air from stagnating with full water dish.

Basically when you have the proper ventilation, lots of inches of moist substrate (i keep saying lots because i love to offer OB room for burrow) a piece of cork bark (IMO better than those fake, plastic caves) a couple of fake leaves if you want, and of course the water dish... you're done.

That's how i care for Asian OB Theraphosidae, no matter.

Btw here those in Italy were quite popular some years ago. More than today. There's a breeder/seller here in Northern Italy with plenty of Asian OB.

+1. Every Asian terrestrial I know of: moist substrate, moderate ventilation, full water bowl. They're pretty easy. The challenge is their speed, many are very fast.

Well, I did get a couple slings, one DOA sadly. So I'll get a replacement next order I suppose.

Are these guys kinda semi arboreal as slings? Ignored the hide and built a web turret on the side, as high as it would go.

Mine are fossorial, dig and spin.

Thanks for doing the leg work on this one, I also wanna snatch up one of these guys eventually.

I figured. Just never had any fossorial slings do this.
