Please stay away from caresheets......A caresheet is based on it's "author's" opinions....not facts.

Some species of T's are pet rocks. Others are lightning fast and extremely defensive.

addict, caresheets suck and are notoriously unreliable. Best to do searches here and find info from real life owners in most cases. That said, the care sheet fot OBT is straight foreward and generally accurate, so ya shoulda known. I will say for the immature acts, at least you have man'd up about your t keeping deficiencies and done it without getting all defensive with everybody. Thanks for that.

Whatever you choose to do, I would like to encourage you to adopt a complete hands off approach with your t's in the future. The less you mess with them, the better. Think of them like fish. Learn through observation. ;)

Totally agree with Cold blood.. Almost all caresheets suck the hairy meatball lol, best to look through as much on this site as possible cause it has many threads with brilliant info that WILL help in many situations, plus our good friend Stan my join in and give you his links on T care.

You think that him trying to garner sympathy from us with his self-degradation and 'woe-is-me' garbage is having "man'd up" about it? In this situation, the way for him to "man up" is to admit to himself that this purchase was a mistake, and to sell the spider off. I doubt that he would go through with that though, since considering his immaturity, he'll remain possessive of it, which would indicate a lack of respect for the animal (as if we didn't already know that). If you love something, set it free. I'm not saying that you can never have an OBT again (believe me, they aren't going anywhere), but at this moment you are not ready to keep one.

Just the last part. If he can't step up and become "worthy" of these wonderful creatures he isn't some I personally would like in the hobby. (No offense)

Ok cool I agree.. But even with our words he might not stop, best we can do is advise on the situation.

Sympathy, of course not. I said thanks for not getting all defensive. Many, if not most in his situation would have argued, made excuses or started name calling after being jumped on. Instead he chose to man up....by sitting back and actually listening to what's being said, and continue responding in a civilized manner. He got yelled at over and over and took it, because he was able to realize he deserved it.

Now he's in the right place, for the right info, and hopefully he learned valuable life lessons from this experience. We all did stupid things at one time or another, most just don't publicize it for all to criticize, best we can do after the fact is learn and not repeat.

Ok we cant or won't stop you, but now with these posts of (YOURS) seems hard to believe you have an OBT???, probably sound silly but you do reframe from answering quite a few questions throughout this thread especially in the last two pages??.

It was only "unexpected" cause you are inexperienced and unprepared ...........I thinking you are going to experience these "unexpected" occurrences again and again if you don't do you homework. Research what you are getting yourself into.......and "expect the unexpected".
