This is why they call them "Orange Bitey Things".....

I love the video!!! Headbutting the log in its quest to kill the light! Perfect!

And on a side: For those of us that are not too far from newbies, seeing things like 'obt' or 'rose hair' or 'pink toe' is really helpful. When I started, had people not used these terms, when I searched the internet to find out about T's, I would never have found the board.
I went to the pet store, saw rose hair, and went home and searched it to find out it was really a G rosea. They go hand in hand really. Never have I seen a LPS with a scientific name. If we didnt use them here, to put us on the top of these searches, how would any noob ever know the scientific name?!?!?

1+ could not have said it better

Being scientifically incorrect does grant us a speck of publicity, when you put it that way I think the best LPS name is still "cinnamon teddy bear" RE a thread from last week Sometimes common names spiral out of control in the most hilariously uninformative of ways, but for one reason or another that simply isn't the case with OBTs and GBBs.

RE the vid, what do you expect from a girl whose beauty sleep has been disturbed? Yikes.

Maybe she wasnt ready to 'go towards the light' just yet...

No, but she will be more than happy to point you the way!

 

[Big Red TJ]

No, but she will be more than happy to point you the way!

She was willing to hold hands and give a kiss as well

 

[night4now]

Such a sweet loving girl:liar:

I totally want one!

 

[james.m]

Wow, just too much drama. Warren, love the vid buddy.

I agree. Scientific names are better but there is no need for nit-picking when someone uses a generally accepted term to reference a certain species.

Concerning the member in question, I've seen that person use several odd terms to refer to spiders and then ridicule people for not understanding them. Very hypocritical.

I have to agre that scientific names are better.
If you say Mexican redleg to a ex. a russian guy he might look like a question mark but if you say Brachypelma behmei he will know exactly what you mean

Fun vid! Mine was the most timid flighty of my T's until she hit about 3", now shes the devil incarnate.

Oh and you guys know there is an ignore function right? Instead of seeing all of spits messages I get to see:

This message is hidden because spit is on your ignore list.

 

[ghordy]

Nickname ???????????
My spids are called by their names.

Do you mean like how you have them listed in the 'inverts and other pets' section of your profile page?

 

[Falk]

I call my by their names to, if i have more than one of the same kind i just call them A. versicolor 1 or 2 ect ect.
I dont get the point by giving them names:? They wont listen to it

Good vid warren. I have two 3.5 inch juvies that act totally different. When disturbed they head for their burrows. Never a threat display. Hopefully they'll stay like that.

 

[lilmoonrabbit]

Warren, your OBT is adorable

 

[scottyk]

Great video Warren!

I have two that are both approaching that magic 3" + mark where they can potentially develop that attitude. I hope at least one of them does

 

[Scorpendra]

nice video, Warren :clap:

Nice vid Warren, On a side note I hate those kritter keepers the round ones never have the lids fit right. good luck nice OBT

[Warren Bautista]

Looks like she knoooooows who is boss (and, fyi, it isn't you LOL)!

My larger OBT stays in his tunnel... but if I messed with him, I'd have an OBT latched onto my face lol

Orange facehugger. Hope a centipede-like tarantula doesn't come out of your chest.
