i have to be honest. im new to the hobby and you hear alot about obt's. so trying to be all crazy safe and stuff i took some precautions. it is a very defensive t, but im not real threatened. my indian violet scares me more. not to down play this t, but i tend to respect all my animals and not give them a chance for me to make a mistake, lol. um i think me and the obt will be just fine together.
