@@Alexandra0916_a you’re welcome! :)

@@Kingly7451 thank you!

@@lorenzonaquita3682 it’s just the common garden moss. I’m not quite sure what it’s official name is

@@l.w.2468 I actually have one! I also made a video with a Bioactive enclosure build but she’s outgrown it so I’m planning to create a proper environment for her.

Now he can tell this story to his 200 children

@@sonnyz1114 He’s definitely a fighter

@@alyssalee7422 I’m glad you enjoyed it!

@@hentron420 ahhh that makes sense! That’s probably why it happened. Hopefully the next generation I can gradually get them used to handling!

@@lostInExotics They can also feel your heartbeat through your skin so they know they're stepping onto something that's alive. I imagine they have a tendency to instinctively avoid that since it's generally not in their best interest for survival. In my experience, it's just a matter of patience. Mine usually jumps on and then immediately back off my hand several times before finally jumping/walking on my hand and actually sticking around. It takes him awhile to get comfortable with me every time. Offering them your hand as a new high point for the spider to climb or jump to, like you're doing at around 2:40 seems to be the most effective method.

@@user-js4iw9rz2w That's so cool how they can feel your heartbeat! I will keep trying to get him comfortable with being held. Thank you for the tip!

Not 100% true.. yes you want to wash your hands before handling... but only because they are sensitive to certain chemicals used in fragrances such as incense, candles, air fresheners, lotions abd body sprays... you don't want any of those things near your spider. I own 6 of them and handle them almost every day.

@@meak13 that’s good to know! It may have had to do with me recently washing my hands with scented soap.

Thank you :)

@@jakafilipic7145 Thank you :) I’ve been working on my commentary and I’m glad I’m doing something right

❤

Thank you!! 😊

I really hope so, I have grown way too attached haha! Stay tuned :)

@@benharrison8973 Probably wondering what lotion I use

Thank you :)

Oh man I can't imagine the sheer size of that! She's very responsive already, I don't know how much more crazy they would get at that size!!

@lostInExotics it doesn't slow down haha, the response is just always there, but she's never shown any aggression. I've had her since 3cm and she kicked hairs at me once. Would I hold her..absolutely not, serious big fangs, your talking almost theraphosa size fangs. Best display spider I've ever had, by a million miles. Enjoy her/him bro

@@ToeKnee666 Just the thought of holding them is insane.. I agree with them being display divas. This one is already slowly outgrowing this enclosure 😅

@lostInExotics they usually grow around 4-4.5 inches a year. I got shelob at 3cm and she hit 7.5 inches in around 16 months. She's now in a permanent 24x24 bio active. Loves her food. 3 extra large locusts every 10 days

@@ToeKnee666 that’s awesome! Sounds like Shelob is living the dream :)

Yup indeed!

Yes but probably not with acrylic cuz it’s expensive the larger it is

Yup those species are known to be slow growing! Just give them chopped mealworms or dead crickets and they will scavenge :)

@@lostInExotics Thank you, sir.

@@ChynaFearsBuckwheat2001 you’re welcome!

Thank you! I will definitely add that to the list as a I have multiple balfouris :)

Right! I wouldn’t want to chase around an arboreal tarantula in the house 😅

@@lostInExotics Same! Hahaha

Thank you! I will have a tutorial in the next week or two :) stay tuned!

Thank you! Your kind words mean a lot to me :)

I’m very glad this helped you out! It always concerned me before whether they have eaten or not so I definitely understand the worries. Im glad I was able to ease your mind :)

Thats definitely on my list :)

That’s genius! I’m definitely not ready for her to reach her full size 😅

Thank you! And those are fair points. While normally I would keep them in conventional setups, I wanted to create a snippet of a rainforest floor where the tree trunk meets the ground and the surrounding foliage. Also if you follow the enclosure guidelines of 1.5-2x DLS in height then I’m still within it. If you look at other setups like exotics lair and dark den they also have a bit of height in their terrestrial setups.

Yes, I completely understand the idea of course.. but congratulations on the enclosure.. I should make a video on how you made the enclosure.. what glue you used, and especially how you made the locks. It would be interesting. Congratulations on the work..

@@mgphotography3216 Thank you :) That's a great idea and one that's always asked for! I will make it in the next couple videos

@@lostInExotics wathing for hehehh

I use an acrylic cement that melts the acrylic and welds together to form a solid joint. It’s called “Weld-on #4”

They're awesome!

Right!! Can’t believe she used to be the size smaller than .25”

Thank you! I’m glad my video has inspired you :) I will have another video, that I’m sure you’ll like, releasing this week!

Thank you 😊

Thank you! I made it myself :)

Amazingly... i did one myself, but the plastic sheets i used curved by time for some reason, i felt water n moister made them concave 😅

@@fakahany Oh no! Yes they do bow in due to moisture, sometimes more ventilation help with it or using thicker sheets like 3mm

Good suggestions! Definitely needs more inhabitants
