nice one..how big is she/he?

She is a young one. no more than 2 inch body length excluding legs...
She is a bit skittish, and quick as lightening, but not aggressive at all (for now).
She does not show defensive posture when I change water, etc. She just darts away to the other side of her container. She moves faster than I can see at times... she is a blur....I can see how people people have been bitten before with this species... amazing.....she could be on my wooden forceps before I even realized it. Then up my arm.....

 

[ovaforty]

1 3/4 inches from head to spinnerets....

Were you able to sex 'her' from that molt, ovaforty? I have one the same size, and by a recent molt it looks male, but I'm hoping it's too small to really tell!

Is she webbing alot or burrowing?

 

[ovaforty]

She is webbing her new home behind the ceramic pot and the corner of the terrarium. I do not know the sex of this T

[ovaforty]

She has formed a "hammock" with her webbing.

 

[ovaforty]

I replaced that ceramic pot wih a curled piece of bark. It looks more natural, and she uses it now. She did not use that pot.

I have 9 OBTs right now at about 1 1/4-1 1/2 inch size, they all are very flighty and are yet to give me any threat displays or any sign of defensive behaviors. However, i also have an adult that is around 5 inches and believe me... when they get that size they are a handful! They are still my favorites though by far, enjoy yours!
