I just bought my first T. Pink Zebra beauty. :lol:
I don't a digital camera, so I can't show it to you yet.
I've just housed her in a what's considered to be a larger breeders box kritter keeper. (I had this on hand, and it seemed to be fairly sutiable). She's got about an inch of substrate so far (cocanut coir..it's the expandable stuff looks like dirt when dry, holds in humdity well).
I wanted to get her out of the large straight "beanie baby" box, so she'd (she is an assumption..dunno for sure) have more room, and the box she came in needed to be cleaned anyway. Plus I really didn't want to house a T on pointed bark.
I can't really think of anything to add right now. I'm not exactly sure how big it is, but it's tiny and it's not an adult...(not much help, huh?)
Somewhere in the range of 2 or 3 inches..I think.
It's kinda funny, the OBT was cheaper than this one (too bad it's an orange ball of fury). They also had some WC rosies, and some Mexican red knees.
My T is yellow rather than pink, however. I'm wondering if they got the species wrong. To bad I can't post pics of it.

welcome to t's, they can be addictive too. i put a small piece of cork bark in my tanks to give a little shelter/shade area and a little water bowl. wait until your first molt, they are cool to study.

For those of you that may be wondering, an OBT is an abrv. the species it's refering to is P. murius (sp might be off) It's a Usamba? baboon spider. Very pretty orange old world T, aggro and mean.
It has enough substrate to did a nice burrow in now, a plastic cup to hide in, and a ragu water lid for water dish.
And after it walked across my hand last night after trying to gently move it off the edge of the lid, I discovered I get a mild reaction to urticulating hairs (it was putting down very small amounts of web, and I think it was leaving hairs on the webbing). Time to buy gloves.
It wasn't too bad, but it's not something I care to repeat.

No, a Pink Zebra Beauty is a E. campestratus.
There were several different spiders I could have bought, and I thought it was unusual that the Baboon spider was cheaper. It turns out that Baboon spiders are pretty cheap becuase nobody wants one. An OBT is not a beginner species.

they do irritate some. be a little careful when changing the substrate, sometimes you can stir up a lot of stuff in the air. t's are cool, so many choices. one that is big and easy to hold are the chaco golden knees or chaco yellow stripe. they are in the same family as rose hairs and just as nice, they get 6-8 inches.

Cool to hear! Yeah OBTs (also aka orange bitey things p.murinus) are generally not too much pricewise then again they don't have the most accomodating personalities Very good eaters though.
