Probably. Did it live up to the hype? Not exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"386\" data-end=\"664\"\u003eIts reputation absolutely deserves respect and caution. That may be precisely why we never experienced the notorious defensive behavior everyone talks about. Will it bite if given a reason? \u003cstrong\u003eYes\u003c\/strong\u003e. Without hesitation. Is it a vicious, rabid beast by default? Not in our experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"666\" data-end=\"1091\"\u003eWhen provided with security, space, and options to do its own thing, this species has been far more predictable than its reputation suggests. The only time we saw extreme threat displays was during feeding, when a feeder wandered into its space while it wasn't ready to eat. In those moments, it would threat posture so hard it flipped onto its back and stayed there until we left the room. Clear communication. Point taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1427\"\u003eThis particular OBT is not the classic bright orange form, which we also keep and love.

The links below are ones we personally leaned on when keeping our first OBT and still reference today. They’re a great place to start. Learning from multiple keepers, paying attention to your own spider, and sticking to safe, respectful practices are what make it possible to keep even the most notorious, misunderstood animals responsibly and enjoy them for what they really are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease research care before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MsI141D2llc\u0026amp;t=104s\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Juice's Arthropods | Pterinochilus murinus (Orange Baboon Tarantula) Pros, Cons, and Care Guide\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eJuice's Arthropods | Pterinochilus murinus (Orange Baboon Tarantula) Pros, Cons, and Care Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thetarantulacollective.com\/caresheets\/pterinochilus-murinus\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Tarantula Collective | Orange Baboon Tarantula (Pterinochilus murinus)  Care Sheet\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Tarantula Collective | Orange Baboon Tarantula (Pterinochilus murinus)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thetarantulacollective.com\/caresheets\/pterinochilus-murinus\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Tarantula Collective | Orange Baboon Tarantula (Pterinochilus murinus)  Care Sheet\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCare Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tomsbigspiders.com\/2014\/04\/18\/pterinochilus-murinus-or-obt\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Tom Moran (Tom's Big Spiders) | Husbandry Article (2014)\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTom Moran (Tom's Big Spiders) | Husbandry Article (2014)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spider People","offers":[{"title":"1\/2\"-3\/4\"","offer_id":44754694832162,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/1512\/5794\/files\/obt_DCF_Mikumi_Sling.jpg?v=1768809754","url":"https:\/\/www.spiderpeopleofficial.com\/products\/pterinochilus-murinus-dcf-mikumi","provider":"Spider People","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
