  • In this video we rehouse a few Grammostola slings and Nibbles, my OBT tarantula, who is extremely quick and bolty.

    When an experienced Tarantula keeper rehouses a species like a person with arachnophobia, you know that species is problematic.
    Yet, they are still kept because "Oooo, orange!"

I've rehoused so many of OBTs, more than any other species. I have crazy stories of trying to do EXACTLY what u just did. At least u learned and was like "don't do this like this". I've tried a handful of times, all with fails 😆. Cupping is so fast and so easy. U HAVE to put holes all in the cup though. OBTs will do what urs did at the end and eventually hunker down once in the cup. Without a ton of holes you'll be in the same position u were in in the video. Anyways, love the video. Ur amazing ♥️

    Ah Kat, this was great. Don’t feel bad, I made some of the same mistakes when I rehoused my first one. I’ve learned firstly what you did, don’t put their enclosure into the new one. Lmao. Just get them in a cup and transfer. Then, to give them a semi arboreal setup on top of the piles of dirt. They run and stop under cover and tend to calm down faster. Also, webbing turns into amazing designs too as a bonus. ;) keep up the good work.

    I rehoused my bigger OBT yesterday (around 2cm) and holly hell was she a bolty little bugger and almost ran straight from the dubbel boxes into my apartment, but luckily we both eventually settled on her new enclosure being the better option xD hahaha
    My Ceratogyrus darlingi was much easier to move, she just bit my straw once to see if it was edible but then followed its directional pushes quite nicely :D

The first time I rehouse my OBT, it fled to my hand, quickly ran down the table and ended up underneath my bed 😅 it was basically a war. Thankfully I didn't get bitten. I housed her in a big enclosure now so I won't have to rehouse her ever again 😁

    when Im rehousing pterinochiluses or harpactiras etc basically all baboony spiders I always use a cup I wouldnt ever try to get one to walk between enclosures its too easy for them to run and not stop and they could end up anywhere. but for some reason tarantulas really like being in plastic cups so when you encourage one to walk into a cup it will almost always just sit there calmly while you move it. its usually way more difficult to get them outve the cup than in but you can just leave the cup in the new enclosure and get it later
