The orange baboon tarantula is a large, nocturnal spider, so it is most active at night. It lives in parts of Africa, including Angola, central and southern Africa and the island of Zanzibar. Its bite is not known to be deadly, but it is very painful, so it should be left alone.1

Fatgs

Hobbyists nickname it OBT, short for orange baboon tarantula or orange bitey thing, and call it the pterror, a pun on its genus name.1

It can be found in five known colour forms, and the colour is thought to be linked to the type of soil where each form lives.1

Unlike some New World tarantulas, it has no urticating hairs to irritate the skin.1

It builds a tunnel-shaped web.1

It is a nocturnal spider, so it is most active at night.1
