Pterinochilus murinus (Orange Baboon Tarantula, OBT)

This tarantula is affectionately called an “OBT” , which normally would stand for the common name of Orange Baboon Tarantula, but in this case it stands for Orange Bity Thing! Known for its tenacity and general defensive, sometimes aggressive temperament, this species most always puts on a show and gives its viewers something to talk about. Along with the attitude comes beauty though. The bright orange color this tarantula displays is not seen in many other species, making it a showpiece for any collector. When they give you that famous threat posture, you will also see they have green and blue iridescent coloring on the underside of their feet. Though they sometimes burrow, they will also create intricate webbing and dwell on top, so this tarantula is usually visible. This is one of the fastest growing, and hardiest tarantulas we have raised.
