These are common Ts and people ask for their care all the time. Buying advanced OW Ts without researching their care is irresponsible
I am not worried about the care I will provide. I feel confident. Like I said it’s about engagement and convo. There is always something new or interesting someone can share from already having the animal. The facts are out there I know where to find them. Thank you!

I hope these aren’t your first Ts, let alone your first fast Ts

Best tip is to read the forum, and come back with specific questions. All general info is already on this forum.

Provide a good hide, plenty of silk plants for them to feel safe. Some substrate to let them dig a little.

My experience has been positive. Temperament wise, they would prefer to retreat. Don't clutter it up so much that they have a difficult time squeezing behind a plant or making cage maint. difficult.

As already stated, they are fast. But out of all OW's, more predictable than other Asian arboreals.

*No tong feeding

Thanks a lot. Will take this into account when providing all of these essentials. 👍

I own both- great species.
I am looking forward to it. It has been a very healthy experience thus far. I am getting females and hoping to have them for the longest possible lifespan. Treat them well with integrity as exotic pets.
