Latin name? Common names are useless generally

Oh sorry, it's a Dolichothele Diamantinensis.

Tbh I've found my GBBs I've raised to be more spazzy and willing to kick hairs than OBTs running around or out of container or even throwing a threat display. And I've probably dealt with 5x as many OBTs. The biggest thing is to set them up correctly and give them space to hide and anchor points to web up and they should be pretty content. GBB I could provide a similar setup and they'll still wanna be out in the open more being dramatic lol

Nice T's

Since you have one named Egg might I suggest Bacon for one of the others.

Lol the obt is now called Houdini... I put the small container in the permanent enclosure and it teleported to a hole as I watched

Quick update on a couple of other guys... Bailey (picture 1)went on an eating spree and is now on a diet.. and amethyst (pictures 2&3 ) was rehoused today it took 20 minutes due to the little sling climbing out, over my hands and across the table several times and Instead of climbing to a high point.. tried to go under my sofa. I put a fake orchid I in that I got from Poundland. Hopefully the next rehousing won't be till adult/ near full grown.

If you overfeed, they can fast.

they can take on larger prey: i dont recommend it. Fasting will be prolonged.

they will seem ”docile” in the begining. Thats going to change.

rehousing during pre or post molt will allow for easier transfers.

good luck.
