Bitten by an OBT!!! 3 times!!!!

The Orange Baboon Tarantula ( Pterinochilius murinus ) is a very beautiful tarantula to keep. The deep orange colour is very striking especially after a moult.

But one must be VERY, VERY CAREFUL when handling them. They readily give a threat display when disturbed. The photo below illustrates what I mean.

Let's take a closer look at those fangs! ( Photo below )

During the last 2 months, I have been bitten by an OBT on 3 occasions.For a detailed bite report, please go to my blog: http://tarantulasandothers.blogspot.com/

These photos shows the result on my left ankle after it was bitten by a 3 inch Orange Baboon Tarantula.

This is one of our MET moult sequence (from start to finish) pictures. It took more then 4 hour to complete.

Moult measuring 6.5 inches legspan.

Best regards,
