Will you be selling the others from the hatch? If so, I would be interested. Thanks.My OBT's first clutch has just turned 2nd instar. When they are eating well I will be selling.... (40 are already spoken for, 99 left!) I had housed two together from the start and noticed last night that one had webbed itself in and away from the other. The one outside of the webbing was always running around almost nervous like. Last night I took the nervous one out and gave him his own digs.
I will be eager to see how those of you who do communal set-ups make out. Please post how progress goes! If you show success I will do the same with my MF's second clutch. She is with her second sac right now!
T life is so exciting!!!
Got my obt's

I got an OBT sling somewhere in the apt.
I dropped one of the straws and he ran as soon as it hit the carpet. Haven't seen him since. Should've done it in the bathtub.

Doubtful man. These guys we got are really small and even though I live in a medium-sized apartment, I don't think I'd be able to find him. I have very dark carpet. I just hope I find him on a wall or the ceiling or something. I don't want him to die alone in the world.

Hey mine escaped on me when I got it..Just look were it ran to and you have a good chance of finding it. (if you know where it ran to) also try to search at night. Look at places that are warm and damp...

My enclosures are next to the computer, so I'm thinking it ran somewhere under the desk. Weird thing was, I didn't even know it left the straw that I had just dropped until I looked inside. I had no idea which direction he took. I tried looking under the table/desk. Nothing. Just hope he doesn't get downstairs where my 90 year old neighbor lives. I'll do more looking later. I'm hoping he'll get stuck in the bathtub or something but I dunno.

ooh dude thats horrible.. Gl man
Gl manhappened to my pink toe, only .75 in. Searched all night, nothing. The next day i turned my room upside down and actually found him. I was so surprised, he was climbing to the top of my book shelf. But that guy is a climber, so the obt is probably gonna be really hard to find. =/I got an OBT sling somewhere in the apt.

sorry to say this but...most likely if you cant find it in about a day chances are you won't find it. It could crawl into vents and all those things since its really small. So Look in those things it can fit into that isn't big but small enough for it to fit in.

ahh at the size that its in...it won't last 2 weeks without food or water.My money says that an OBT has one of the best chances in the T world for surviving till adulthood outside of a cage. Hopefully you find it before it's a 3 year old adult female who claims a doorway without you knowing it

No, I don't think this one could survive slinghood alone in Alaska. Haven't found anything yet. I've hoped I would feel it crawl on me at night so I could capture it, but.. hey, I'm optimistic.

Really? I'll have to check on the other two. I can't even see them in their enclosures. They've already done a lot of webbing.

They are really fast growers and these obt's are really small. So ya it could molt soon.
