Thanks for checking out this weeks episode! It was a lot of fun filming...I saw her more while making this video than i have since I fkrst got her as a sling. Check out the new promo video I put together last night while waiting for this video to render: th-cam.com/video/Cl2fOdw1Jys/w-d-xo.html
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Dash Karson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I have to say brother this is one of the best videos I have seen for a balfouri I finally went and bought my first one today and I also keep deadly spiders as well Brazilian wondering spiders funnel web spider brown recluse spider wolf spiders six eyed sand spiders camel spiders keep up the great work
Good day a have a question I have a egg sac from my M.balfouries just want to find out more or less how many weeks before I can expect them to hatch sorry i'm new to the hobby and just asking for some info
This is super random, but I absolutely love the chill, pleasant music that you have in this video! So many exotic pet channels seem to think that they need to have AGGRESSIVE music for their AGGRESSIVE animals and it's really silly, the calm yet mysterious music that you chose highlights your beautiful spider so well :)
Thank you so much. I spend a lot of time listening to tracks and finding the right music (I'm kind of a musicophile) and usually the only time anyone notices or comments about the music is to complain...lol.
Once again my favourite spider guy blows my mind with another amazing video. I dont know how you do it bro but you consistently pump out great video and content. Long live the collective
Thanks a lot my friend...you rock and I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Next week will be the 52nd weekly episode of Tarantula Tuesday! That's one solid year of Tarantula Tuesday uploads! I didnt think I'd make it...lol
Now that's what I call timing! I placed an order for a communal yesterday this will be my first time having an old world. But I did do research. Thank you for putting out quality content!
love the balfouri! think ive watched 3 vids on this sp today alone lol. ive got a communal of 10 and 2 that live alone. all are still just above sling size and its a pleasure watching them grow and age, like a fine wine!
@@FostersPets 😂 well, I plan to have something around 36 in one enclosure. Too much running around with 100 :D Also, my fiance would kill me twice or maybe three times 😅
@@FostersPets yup. I finally bought P. rufilata (my first poe and rufilata is the one I always wanted), and 3 next days I was sleeping on the couch in living room. :|
We need more of these! I love watching them and now that im getting serious in the hobby there are a few species I really want to see a care video for!
My favorite species of tarantula ever! I recently purchased 6 babies that I put into a small communal and as far as I know they're all doing OK still. I plan to check on them at the one year mark
Very humble there at the end man with your shoutouts too. Love your vids. I’ve been seeing this at my exotic pet store and am now pretty set on getting it 😂 so this is helpful. You and dark den made me buy a total of 7 tarantulas now. All slings but one. Your videos are very helpful man and your personality really makes this channel stand apart great editing shots angles and everything man the videos always look so good. 👍🏻👍🏻
Ive dived in and bought 8 juveniles for a communal. Only my third old world T but Im really excited. They are very skittish so Im hoping they calm down before they are due to be rehoused. Just a T nut me. Thanks for the video, you really do put a lot of effort into these.
I really love your videos. So informative and straight to the point and you never think you are better than others and such a calm cool guy. You put so much into your videos. Tarantula collective. Tom's and Exotics Liar is my top 3. Also like Tarantula Kat and Dark Den. They ok too. From Renier from South Africa. Keep up the good work Superman.
Your photography is ASTOUNDING!! You need to show the Discovery Channel your art. I love everybody's tarantula pages but yours is something special. That shot of your girl walking through the foggy Mist was just amazing.
Thanks! That's very cool of you to say! I was digging the little fogger too. Now I just gotta keep coming up with different shots to keep things fresh.. lol
your videos are always so high-quality! i love the shots that you get and the editing. i dont think i can keep a communal because i like to know that they all eat lol. i’d be so paranoid not knowing who ate 🤣
I finally got some myself for my birthday. A guy I meet through IG had some babies for sale. So I got me 2 of them and rehoused them communally as well. 2i’s at the moment. A great gift to myself huh Richard? I can’t wait to experience these beautiful species as they grow
I love this Tarantula! I have one and her name is Snowball, shes so sweet and easy to rehouse. I really should've gotten a bulk order of these. I feel like mine would probably be a little more active if she had company. A great baboon for someone who want's to get into old worlds and not too difficult to care for.
I’ve just managed to buy a FEMALE of these with a beautiful glass enclosure for £30! An absolute bargain seeing as here in the uk the T alone is £70 for a confirmed female. So over the moon with her, been on my wish list for over a year now, yours s my ‘go too’ channel for all things T related, keep doing what your doing Richard 🕷️💜🕷️💜🕷️
Awesome video! I got a communal of 10 slings back in October last year, mostly always see 3-5 out at once, I’ve also got a solo juvie that I very rarely see! Great info, Thanks for sharing this 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I recently got into the hobby. I have a 210 6x2’ tank I’ve never set up for my fish but now I want to fill it with T’s. Is that too big? Or how many should I do? Not rushing into it. I’m going to increase my experience for sure beforehand
They really are...and with all the filming, lights and me gently directing her around the table...not a single threat pose, strike or really fast bolts. She was very well behaved, considering.
Do enjoy viewing this specimen, very gorgeous indeed! Been watching your videos a while now man, keep it up. I look forward to Tuesdays for TTuesdays xD Ive been keeping T's for about 6 months now, I have a T. Stirmi, L. Para, 2 mexican red knees, 3 curlys and a Pterenopelma Sazamai and wondered if you could do a video on them? The P. Sazamai, would be awesome to see and also to know if you have one, didnt see it in the list of your T's, keep it up again man, you're badass
I've done videos on the Theraphosa stirmi, Lasiodora parahybana, and the Curly Hair Tarantula (Tliltocatl albopilosum). I plan on covering the Mexican Red Knee soon but it very similar to the Brachypelma boehmei video I have already done. I do have a P. sazimai but she is in very pre molt right now, so I'm waiting til after she molts and is bright and beautiful to do a video on that species.
@@tarantulacollective yeah man ive watched em all about 4 times to ensure im doin it all right! Was mainly the Sazamai I was curious of, as not many husandry videos on the species. Would be cool to see one from you as they're so informative, it'll be a good intro to the youtube search!
love my single M. balfouri - first OW and as a juvenile it seems to be a decent choice. My B. albiceps was more of a terror to rehouse than the balfouri haha
I really felt your video was informative! Im looking to get my first T and my eyes are drawn to this specific T!!! Im learning everything I can before I message the breeder! I also have two bearded dragons I rescued! Super needy(wouldn't change it). Want to add this spider to my art room for company🤣. I also have a dubia roach farm. Saves me so much $$$!
Great video Richard. One of my absolute favourites. We have a few breeding projects with these guys this year and are planning a new super communal of these guys this year. Looking forward to that.
Wow. Thanks for this info. I tried to mate my male & female M.Balf earlier but my male was very skittish. It was my first ever attemp to breed a tarantula. I’ll try again tomorrow. 😅
Could you do a video on a chilobrachys sp violet? I recently purchased one and can't find much on its care, the internet says it's an "Indian violet" but the breeder labelled it as a "Vietnamese violet" which doesn't seem to be a thing? Any help and tips would be great though!!
Wow I want a female. I have least a 20gal feeder tank. I did have a rose, but am looking for something new, but docile as well. She seems perfect for me. Where would I find one? Thank Mike.
I learn so much in this vidoes. I startet a couple months ago to watch vids from Exotics Lair and The Dark Den and I enjoed so much that I get soon my first T. It´s so exiting to learn about every new T I see. I literally create my onw care & husbandry sheets for species that could be my first. Grammostola pulchripes and Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens are most likley my first T. The grow not so fast and maybe a Brachipelma species that grows slow. The balfouri is so pretty and comes to my list for first old world, when I have expirience with Ts in general. It´s advisable to start with 3 Tarantulas at once? I feel I can do it and I want them to have a good life on my side.
Awesome tarantuals one my favourites can't help my self lot times have too have like buy 5s and 10s same species lot time buy another bulk big order excatly same species too
I recently got a brachypelma hamorii (Mexican red knee) as my first tarantula and I would love if you made a video about your input, their care, husbandry, and history seeing as there are a really iconic species and tend to be recommended as beginner tarantula. I’ve done my research but I still feel like there is a lack of appropriate care information on them.
I'm hoping to start a communal of these one day, I have an old Exo Terra habisphere (sadly discontinued 😭) that I think would be a beautiful display enclosure for something like that.
If possible, I'd love to see a video on Megaphobema Robustum since I just bought female. I've done research but still isn't alot of information on it that is new.
I will try. My species mature out male and died about a year ago and I havent been able to add another to my collection yet, but I'm hoping to maybe get one in March at the Tinley NARBC.
At what size do you consider them as juvenile? I purchased a small enclosure set up with four balfouri that the pet store labeled as slings, but they are about an inch and a quarter or so. They are eating well and have burrowed down the back of the enclosure and have been doing some webbing above their entrance. They are amazing to watch at night.
I just got a beautiful Balfouri a week ago and I absolutely love him. Hes so docile but he loves to dip and flip over his water bowl everytime I fill it up lmao. Hes still pretty small. And was wondering what their favorite insect to eat is? I have crickets but he doesnt seem to like them he ignores it. But hes not in premolt.

Im so excited to get this spider since im from socotra island but i moved to uae
I have to say brother this is one of the best videos I have seen for a balfouri I finally went and bought my first one today and I also keep deadly spiders as well Brazilian wondering spiders funnel web spider brown recluse spider wolf spiders six eyed sand spiders camel spiders keep up the great work
I love that shot of the tarantula walking out of the fog
Omg same, it's perfect
Absolutely beautiful!
Me to it looks so good
It is just H2O, it is water vapor that comes from a repti fogger made for raising the humidity in reptile enclosures.
Good day a have a question I have a egg sac from my M.balfouries just want to find out more or less how many weeks before I can expect them to hatch sorry i'm new to the hobby and just asking for some info

I used to have arachnophobia, but when it comes to tarantulas I just love them.
The fog footage is so iconic whenever balfouris are mentioned I immediately think of that shot
Just bought a set of 5 as a communal group, our first tarantulas. We’re super excited to have them and experience what they offer.
All my questions about this species answered in one video. awesome! Thank you !
Once again my favourite spider guy blows my mind with another amazing video. I dont know how you do it bro but you consistently pump out great video and content. Long live the collective
Thanks a lot my friend...you rock and I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Next week will be the 52nd weekly episode of Tarantula Tuesday! That's one solid year of Tarantula Tuesday uploads! I didnt think I'd make it...lol
one of my favorite species ever! for some reason youtube unsuscribed me to your channel, but here I am again :D
Just brought my first m.balfouri on Sunday and I absolutely love it already, the colours are just so beautiful.
Might be my new favourite T
I rehoused mine yesterday.. such a beauty! I found it less challenging then my hamorri rehouse lol..
getting my first communal this weekend :) very excited. thanks for the great content bro.
Now that's what I call timing! I placed an order for a communal yesterday this will be my first time having an old world. But I did do research. Thank you for putting out quality content!
I just bought my juvenile female balfouri today. I will be following these tips to care for mine. Thanks!
love the balfouri! think ive watched 3 vids on this sp today alone lol. ive got a communal of 10 and 2 that live alone. all are still just above sling size and its a pleasure watching them grow and age, like a fine wine!
I have almost the same situation. Communal of 11 and 2 that live in their own enclosures :) Lucky number 13 (the number 13 was a gift from my friend)
Gentle Lion I would have a hundred if I had space lol. I call the communal mega city 1 after judge dredds city lol
@@FostersPets 😂 well, I plan to have something around 36 in one enclosure. Too much running around with 100 :D Also, my fiance would kill me twice or maybe three times 😅
Gentle Lion haha same here, my wife is not a fan of old worlds and I had to sneak mega city one in when I picked them up haha.
@@FostersPets yup. I finally bought P. rufilata (my first poe and rufilata is the one I always wanted), and 3 next days I was sleeping on the couch in living room. :|
You are becoming one of my favourite youtubers man
Thanks. 😎
These shots are incredible, I loved the touch of smoke screen , really set the stage 🔥👍🏿😎
The timing of this video was PERFECT! I just picked up my first M. balfouri a couple days ago. Thank you!
Awesome! Congrats on your new t!
We need more of these! I love watching them and now that im getting serious in the hobby there are a few species I really want to see a care video for!
Great Info. And Amazing Close up shots!!
Awesome species. One of the most intriguing baboons I've owned. Amazing colors too, and it even comes out early
My favorite species of tarantula ever! I recently purchased 6 babies that I put into a small communal and as far as I know they're all doing OK still. I plan to check on them at the one year mark
Missed this type of videos. Thanks
It is so cool that they will share food!
Absolutely one of my favorite tarantulas!

I have been waiting for this video and also love yours video

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Hey love all your videos !!! When they molt can you keep them together? Greatings from Belgium
I just got my first one tonight!
I am grateful for that one. My favorite T from Africa :) 👍💪
How about a video on Pamphobeteus Antinous next?
Wow. Thanks for this info. I tried to mate my male & female M.Balf earlier but my male was very skittish. It was my first ever attemp to breed a tarantula. I’ll try again tomorrow. 😅
Awesome....good luck!
I just picked up a sling of one the other week
I'd like to see a specific one on ephebopus murinus if you could
Please do a care and husbandry video on Pelinobius Muticus (King Baboon).
Could you do a video on a chilobrachys sp violet? I recently purchased one and can't find much on its care, the internet says it's an "Indian violet" but the breeder labelled it as a "Vietnamese violet" which doesn't seem to be a thing? Any help and tips would be great though!!

My tank setup is wrong.thanx for the info.now i know
Awesome tarantuals one my favourites can't help my self lot times have too have like buy 5s and 10s same species lot time buy another bulk big order excatly same species too
I was thinking of this for my first T but I decided to get a LP I think this will be my second T
Awesome footage! I love the intro music, get's me every time 🤘 greetings from Germany 🕷
Juhu today i get one of this 😍🤩
I recently got a brachypelma hamorii (Mexican red knee) as my first tarantula and I would love if you made a video about your input, their care, husbandry, and history seeing as there are a really iconic species and tend to be recommended as beginner tarantula. I’ve done my research but I still feel like there is a lack of appropriate care information on them.
That was a beautiful spider from my country ( South Yemen ❤ )
i would like to see Heteroscodra maculata care & husbandry
Dude! I just realized… This music is the same as the Book of Boba Fett intro! And this video came out years before that show 😱
I'm hoping to start a communal of these one day, I have an old Exo Terra habisphere (sadly discontinued 😭) that I think would be a beautiful display enclosure for something like that.
Where do you find some of your smaller enclosures for your slings ,and juvies ?? I get most of mine from The Container Store. Any ideas ?
I get mine from the container store, hobby shops like Michael's and Hobby Lobby, and I have some listed on my Amazon Storefront.
If possible, I'd love to see a video on Megaphobema Robustum since I just bought female. I've done research but still isn't alot of information on it that is new.
I will try. My species mature out male and died about a year ago and I havent been able to add another to my collection yet, but I'm hoping to maybe get one in March at the Tinley NARBC.
@@tarantulacollective Awesome! Hope you get one in March then! They are beautiful!
Do you have videos on how to rehouse spiders new and old world types ? Iv never owned a tarantula.
At what size do you consider them as juvenile? I purchased a small enclosure set up with four balfouri that the pet store labeled as slings, but they are about an inch and a quarter or so. They are eating well and have burrowed down the back of the enclosure and have been doing some webbing above their entrance. They are amazing to watch at night.
Hopefully I will get 10 of them for myself as a graduation present haha
Getting 5 of these today to trade for a male GBB cant wait to add them to my collection
I have about the same size enclosure you have for your juvies/communal slings, could i use that to house 2 belfouris? Or should i go smaller?
Excellent info ! I just got a sub adult last month.,its my first OW, I am anxiously awaiting a molt to find out sex and to see some color.
I just got a beautiful Balfouri a week ago and I absolutely love him. Hes so docile but he loves to dip and flip over his water bowl everytime I fill it up lmao. Hes still pretty small. And was wondering what their favorite insect to eat is? I have crickets but he doesnt seem to like them he ignores it. But hes not in premolt.
💚💙 Balfouri 💚💙
How big should a set up be for 3 island blue
What is the difference between spiders and tarantulas. In other words, what makes a spider a tarantula?
Sir is balfouri great for beginners??
