About this Fella

Usambara Orange Starburst Tarantula for sale from Big Z's (Pterinochilus murinus 'Usambara' RCF). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.

One male, one female, the Usambara orange form.

A sexed pair of Pterinochilus murinus in the Usambara orange color form, the spider the hobby calls the OBT. Sold as a pair: one subadult-to-adult male and one subadult-to-adult female. We check both when they land. Blaze orange, heavy webbing, and the fastest temper in the hobby.

Spice Level 4: Advanced. Two enclosures, not one: OBTs are not kept together outside a supervised pairing. Dry substrate deep enough to burrow, a cork anchor for the webbing, and a plan before either lid opens. Old World, fast, defensive, and strictly no handling. Read the Big Z's care guide before it arrives.

The numbers live in the care guide. Enclosure size, temps, humidity, feeding schedule, premolt signs, handling boundaries: it's all in the care guide for this exact fella. Start with the full Advanced guide, or click for the quick Open the Simple version →
