dark color form obt

[widowkeeper]

well ive been looking for odd color forms of obts and have had no luck untill i was looking through and feeding my babies i found one one of the few i decided to keep for one reason or another has molted for the third time. out of almost 500 obts i got one that is a very dark brown no hint of orange or black like the other 500 or so slings and has not changed in color at all keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way

Hey, if its not orange how can it be an OBT?

Maybe momma OBT slipped off and had sex with the milk spider?

lol easy its now a bbt (brown bity thing)

i raised both the mother and father from cb slings and i can trace their line back atleast 2 generations for both the mother and father so i know there is no contamination for the last few generations but whos to say about befor then

Very cool. I'll have to go through my slings and see if I have a color variation too.

That's pretty sweet looking! All of mine are orange......

There is a brownish form of OBT. The orange sp. are from Usambara which is a tribe in Africa.

I'm under the impression that Usambara is a mountain (range), hence the name of the color variant 'Usambara Mountains Variant' (UMV).
