I went to the Petco in Union Square to just browse around and see if they had any tarantulas. To my disappointment, they didn’t have any. I asked the employee there if they had any he said they don’t and that tarantulas aren’t sold in the city..and that I had to go upstate. I was in New York already, so I asked the breeder that I know if I can get the OBT today. When he said yes, I was excited. So I went to the Bronx to meet up. It took him a while to get there, but the wait was worth it. Now I have an OBT.. around 1.5 inches. I guess I’m gonna stay at 5 tarantulas for now..I’m gonna wait a while to get my 6th..hehe..Gonna post pics soon…
OBT?? What is that? (Newbie here….)
Its scientific name is Pterinochilus murinus, its common name is Usumbura baboon tarantula, aka OBT(Orange Baboon Tarantula), or to enthusiasts “Orange Bitey Thing”
OHHHH I know what you are talking about! I have just never heard it called OBT before.
