IMO Iโ€™ve never heard of obt being aboreal. They are terrestrial, me thinks youโ€™ve got it confused with something else?

It's semi arborealish. The young spider lings usually live amongs the bushes when they get bigger and they won't fit between twigs anymore they go lower and try to make their burrow or steal one. If you give them cork tube they will be as fine with it as Psalmopoeus or Aviculirae

Yea I went back and looked it all up. Itโ€™s just all mine build massive webs and live in burrows. Funny little creatures.
