- Balfouri communal rehouse , Donated by Subscriber Steve Buckwell
Todays video is the long awaited rehouse of a communal that was Donated to the Beastie Room back in the summer from Subscriber Steve Buckwell who wanted to show his support to our channel, Steve thought there was 17 juvies in the communal some time after arrival we had mature males appearing so decided to rehouse into a temporary enclosure while we waited for their forever home to arrive! on inspection we found 16 spiders, 6 of which were Mature males leaving 10 individuals, we put one male back in making 11, today we rehouse them for the last time, and we have babies in the commune too !!, 8 adults found 4 females and 4 males leaving 3 missing probably males that have passed? and 7 babies , a very high male ratio.
We would like to say a big thank you to Steve for his generosity as these are lovely additions to the Beastie Room .

Would love to see a timelapse if possible of them building their web castle 😍
I remember separating my balfouri from the mom. They were all over 1-1.5 inches (3-4cm). I kept them with the mom for 4 months. They were all very territorial of each other. I remember trying to take one, and another would run up on top of it threat posing me. Like "hey man, that's my sibling you're touching, back off". I absolutely loved the experience, even though it took a very long time.
"What the bloody hell`s going on?" , "`Ave you paid the rent?"
allright now I need a balfouri communal
I blieve we all do 😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"That one male..." Is EXHAUSTED.
Oh my goodness..when the first female came out I was like, she's so cute!!! Big enough to put a harness on and take for walks! Those males are just stunning! 😍
Off topic slightly - Could we have update video at some stage on the Brazilian jewels? Also, loved this video because its good to know some species can live in harmony 😊
Yes to Brazilian Jewels, T.Seladonia.🥰🥰
Morning Dave. I found finger caps you can put on, to prevent the hot glue burning your fingers, very handy things. Seems to have been a fair loss of Balfouri's in the communal, but like you said, lesson learned. They are very impressive as far as I can see. Love how you set up the enclosure, so they will have that webbed up in no time. Awesome video Dave.
Yes this was just very male heavy, out is 16 only 4females
I love that you used the natural background, I always see people spray paint Styrofoam and use that for a background but that always makes me cringe for the critter going in the tank with it. Thanks Dave and Camera Lady for another wonderful video. I enjoyed the air plant comedy hour as well.
I've seen Ts tear apart foam backgrounds on a couple of channels 😬
You are the Spider Whisperer Dave. Im really over the moon that they got a decent keeper and not an inexperienced numpty like myself. Wonderful stuf and also nature in the raw of course. Hope 2022 is a great year for you and this amazing channel.
You were very kind to donate - this is educating us all, thank you 👍
@@elainebines6803 ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to care for them , I have some cool plans for them , we will try and breed as a communal and increase the size of this little family ❤️👍
Socotra Island itself is a fairly dry hot place. Scrubland odd plants, odd trees and lot of rocks. And in a lot of the rocks there's wet substrate for them to hide in but they don't really dig because they tend to use the rocks and scrub bushes to hide under.
Clicked on this and I'm like "YES THESE ENCLOSURES AGAIN!!!" 🤣🔥🕷️😎
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
One of my favourites the balfouri beautiful colours, fantastic looking enclisure as always dave. Shame there wasnt more babies 😔 but hopefully more will be on the way soon
Such a awesome enclosure for such beautiful spiders. Love seeing Miss Brazilian White Knee hanging out in her enclosure, having the best seat in the house to watch the rehousing. 🕷 ❤️
You have completely turned me round on spiders, it's only taken a lifetime. Those were some truly beautiful ones, lovely rehouse. I bet other peoples big spiders are jealous of your spiders houses!!
❤️❤️❤️🙏
The way you design the enclosures to fit there lifestyle is perfect ! Perfect 👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love their new enclosure! I bet they are loving it! Cant wait to see it in an update all silked up!
The last male you caught in the catch cup looked so nice! Like blue velvet!😍🕷️
That enclosure looks fantastic.
Dave you are a MASTER of Spider decoration !!!!! Serious mate you do a bloody brilliant job !!!!!!
Thank you so very much ❤️❤️❤️
I started watching tarantula videos with tarantula kat and exotics liar.. then I found your videos. Lets just say I can't watch their channels anymore.. the difference in knowledge and husbandry and just handling is huge
Welcome aboard! my friend we all do things a little differently ❤️👍
Wot an amazing spider they look so colourful
Oh my that's taxing!!!
A lot to keep up with!! They are lovely
Spiders!!! Those males are stunning
And leggie!!!
Thank you Dave and Sweet Camera Lady for yet another great video! Very pretty spiders 🕷 indeed, amazing blue 💙 colors! Have a nice continuation of the day and end of the week as well as weekend, hugs ❤🥰🤗 Susanne 👱♀️ and Trollet 🐱.
Thank you Susanne ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@daveslittlebeasties 👋😉👍❤
I have been watching you for several months now. Just fascinated with the way you handle the little beasts. I will never be keeping any of these myself. Thanks to you I sure understand them better and fear them less now. Your a very good teacher.
I appreciate that and welcome to our channel 👍❤️
I never knows so many Adult T’s could coexist together like that! Impressive!
I want to build a life size Balfouri communal enclosure in my bedroom and live among the spiders. Once a week I can venture out and eat one of those huge sandworms in 'Dune' for sustenance.
the male bolted around the tank like "oh shoot i've been spotted". 😅
Those are some cute little babies.
I'd love an update on this after a couple months! The best thing to do with your air plants is fully soak them once a week or so.
Thanks for that 👍👍👍
A stunning enclosure! I like balfouri. They are beautiful beasties with a really cool name. That male was especially gorgeous. First time ever seeing air plants. They are perfect in that enclosure. Thank you to you and Camera Lady for a magnificent video.
M.Balfouri's are one of my favorite T's-so pretty.
Oh Dave....wow.💜
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You know I just love the new enclosure setups. And thanks for the chuckles...when you were having a bit of trouble with the air plant and small branch. Still great work☺
Bloody glue 😂😂😂😂
I love the sound of a bolting T, also love the details of them, the thin white edge of the carapace on the males is so highlighting, and tremendous contrast on the spiders and substrate...
Another masterful demonstration from beastie Dave, your capturing and containing skills show your confidence and understanding of their nature, which in turn always makes me feel comfortable whilst watching.. thanks again Dave.. 👍😃
Great content as always. It's awesome to see a keeper that thinks a bit "outside the box" so to speak. Your spiders are healthy and your enclosures are excellent. Good stuff.
Edit: Camera Lady is always on point. Fantastic job Camera Lady 👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like the fact that you acknowledge their capability to learn, most tarantula youtubers are completely unaware of that. But I would go two steps further: They web the door or lid up for a reason, and they remember exactly where the door or lid was when you leave it away without them realizing it. In this case, I often catch them trying to anchor their web in the middle of the air. :D
That's one of the reasons I call them my "dried octopuses".
I've experienced the same with my spiders! It's hilarious and very cute :D
I can’t say this enough but you and camera lady are fantastic ambassadors to the hobby!
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
These videos always makes my early mornings soo much better 🕷❤
How many people laughed out loud at 11:27 when the wood fell off the glass? 😂
Thought you would like that 😂😂😂😂
Amazing video as always! Great footage Camera Lady 💜 7 babies are better than none I suppose however, it is a shame that many were most likely eaten 😔 who knows, maybe you'll find some spare ones roaming around the beastie room over the next few months 😅
The M. balfouri is definitely in my top 5 T species in terms of beauty. The first time I ever seen one in someone's video is when I knew I wanted to get into the hobby (still haven't made the jump, waiting until I move out of my current place). I don't think I'd ever want to keep a communal (maybe one day but, seems a bit chaotic for several reasons, as beautiful as their web castles can be). There's definitely a few species I know I want to eventually keep, just so happens most of them happen to be old worlds 😆 In the meantime, I'll live vicariously through you & the other excellent channels. Keep up the great work, we all appreciate you two so much 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
On a side note. Every type of Gorilla glue I have bought has been a complete waste of time. It couldn't glue two sticky stick insects together.
still mind blowing that so many adults can cohab so peacefully. I've had nightmares where all my t's are in the same tank battling
I loved this it really made me laugh. The tank looks fantastic and the spiders are beautiful. Thanks Dave and your wonderful camera lady !!
I'm just gasping "the babies" as i see the lil ones runnin out... This makes me want to keep a communal species so badly, what an amazing species.
Thanks for your videos & sharing them with us. You & Mrs. Camera Lady do an amazing job; WELL DONE!!!
It always amazes me to watch you work with your spiders. You are the spider whisperer! Keep these videos coming.
Thank you, I will❤️👍
I love when a new video pops up ! Amazing as always
They are stunners! M. balfouri are my favourite! I nick named the bal-furries because they look a little furry
Right on time man .off work and looking b for something to watch .thanks from the USA .
Holy Smokes that enclosure is absolutely amazing!!!! You out did yourself Dave!!! Love your beasties!!
❤️❤️❤️
The Balfouri are a mistery, most dont dig, but some of them love it, it really is a weird one.
I always look forward to new videos from you I'm so looking to keep spiders when I have a landlord that will let me keep them
Do they think you leave them to run around the house? 🤣
This video was very entertaining again! I barely came to have breakfast. But that is good for my figure. Thanks you for that! 🤣👍🙏🏻
Love the natural branch setting in this enclosure, it looks as though you recreated a very lifelike setting for your beasties!! 😊
Thanks so much!
@@daveslittlebeasties you’re very welcome 😊
Dave you make it LOOK so east
Amazing. Seeing these balfouri communal is always so captivating. They're so stunning, too. Beautiful job as always!!
Lovely spiders! Did not realize the males were so blue
They will be really happy inside that tank! looking awesome.
Also happy that you can handle a Balfouri better than a Tillandsia apparently lol
And don't worry, hot glue won't kill the plant, but might lead to it shrinking back and losing quite a bit of contact with the glue joint.
Pushing them in a tight little spot was the right way to put them in. As you're having a cork background, you might even use a bit of thicker wire, tie a loop around the plant and push the ends into the cork. of course the same works when drilling a small hole in wood etc. Done right, you won't be able to tell.
Next to the spider hobby, I'm also a little bit into succulents, cacti and all that stuff. At least some "bites" not to worry about lol
👍👍👍❤️
Great video guys, I bought a female last year she was on her own, she had bit through the foam at the back of the back of the enclosure wall, the top of the enclosure wire had rushed over time changed it to acrylic, she had no water dish, I wish I had a camera at the time I caught her at the water bowl drinking when I rehoused her what a lovely species
They do benifit from a little moisture 👍
Dave, we love ya mate…but I would LOVE to see a “camera lady” run episode! Get her take on the beastie room! Was she always interested in spiders? Just a thought! It’s also totally reasonable for her to not want to be on camera though.
We appreciate you camera lady!!!
Splendid video, Dave! I always forget that M. Balforis are baboons! Good reminder to stay vigilant 🙂
She is very shy ☺️ I have asked but she prefers to be behind the camera ❤️👍
good looking enclosure and that male that made a run for it, the little feet tapping on the glass as he ran was super cool. Congratulations on the 7 slings, not much but definitely some to keep them going.
Thanks 👍
Thanks for including the bloopers in this one!! Just one of those days to start off the year right!!! lol
WE dont edit much what you see is what you get 😂😂😂
Dave the gun gets very warm lol .
Super glue my ^*^* lol hahahahahah
This was the funniest tank building yet mate ! And then it fell lol we are going to do this againnnnnn no defeat lol
Awesome dave and daves wife !!
Always love a trip to the beastie room !
😂😂😂❤👍
Damn Dave! That male is gorgeous! New favorite spider
Such beautiful Tarantulas.
Absolutely fantastic video Dave, very enjoyable, they are as you said Dave, stunning spiders 🕷,can't wait Dave till you do an update on the communal, anyway Dave another brilliant job by yourself and camera 📷 lady.
Thanks George ❤️👍
The colors remind me of Siamese cats!
Tarantula communals are fascinating.
This guy is mad,he just sticks his hands in the tanks with all those spiders, my heart is pounding the whole time I'm watching these videos, I like watching them though, there very interesting, I wonder if he's ever had a bite off any spiders, probably has but he's a professional ,I have a phobia against spiders but I do find them fascinating to watch and to learn about them,and some of the spiders have beautiful colours to them,I always thought spiders where cannibals and they eat other spiders young or spiderlings or is that just in films I.e arachnophobia.
Hi I have never been bitten , and yes all will predate on each other if they have no where to go 👍
Aw thanks Dave for your reply ,and thanks for clearing that up for me as I wasn't sure, like I said I'm a bit scared of spiders but I love to learn about them, they fascinate me.
I love this funny video! Dave's spiders don't even try to escape--But the plants can and DO escape!!! And to think it was the spiders I was afraid of! Now I like the spiders but FEAR the escaping plants. AAAHHHH
👍😂😂😂
Love the wife in the background trying to be as quite as possible JUST BLOW IT LOL
😂😂😂😂😂
balfouris are such beautiful spiders
Careful Dave, the hot glue is hot!🤣 sorry for taking the mick but that made me chuckle 🤣❤
Gets me every time 😂😂😂
Wow, Dave! What gorgeous Ts you have! Thanks for sharing. All those tarantulas coming out from that hide was a thrill!
i just love the pitter patter of them scampering across the glass :') they're so pretty ahh
They are quite stunning spiders. I don't know if I'd ever get used to the 'pitter patter of tiny feet' when they're running on that glass. I must say, it is fascinating to hear when the females drum their feet during the pairing videos!
I think I'll need more experience before getting a Balfouri community - it's like having a room full of rambunctious toddlers! 🤣
Super glue-meh. Never works for me either. Convinced it is a scam. Beauty enclosure. What a spectacular looking M. balfouri commune.
I am so sorry but i couldn't help but laugh when it al fell off the glass 🤣 Love the ones that decided to go walkabout after being rehoused. I LOVE these kind of videos and long videos.
We thought you would like that 😂😂😂
@@daveslittlebeasties LOl indeed i did i am glad i wasn't drinking my coffee when it happened
I take lot of plaesure to watch your video !
Thank you 🙏😊
I reallly liked the video. The male you put back is beautiful. Thank you for making this one.
Awesome enclosure and incredible looking spiders. So many boys O.O
Absolutley beautiful spiders! 😍
Will be interesting to see if it works
Loved it. Very Fascinating. Thank you Dave.
Looks like they made a sugar-spun castle. I would have never guessed so many were in there! And the females w the male. Will they live communally in nature? Yes, they are so pretty. Velvety chocolate brown and blue. I kept thinking, " what if they all bolted at once!"
They probably would not live this close together 👍
So calm! Nice video, thank you for sharing!
They are beautiful, nice set-up for them.
I'm cracking up over the plants vs glue! 😂😂😂 I've found that if you put a little super glue on each item you're trying to glue together it works better. (A dab on plant & a dab on stick.) The super glue will stick to itself. (Usually!) This REALLY made me laugh though! The enclosure looks amazing! 👍😊
Oh my days how are you so calm ?? I’d have 💩 myself when that female got on the outside of her tank I love them but I’d never do what your doing my anxiety would be 1000000 % off the charts lol respect to you sir can’t believe how anyone could be so calm rehousing all those especially as there baboons 😊
Those are beautiful spiders Dave and their new enclosure looks fantastic your camera lady extraordinary job I say you both are doing an extraordinary job and I love your videos even though I just subscribed to your channel last year.
Thanks my friend ❤️👍
Np you guys are amazing 👏 keep up the good work and same for camera lady.
Just complaining to my husband how the last 2 days there has been nothing interesting to watch on TH-cam. Then you post a nice long video. Thanks Dave. 😊 now back to watching.
❤️❤️❤️👍
Great pets animals Tarantula
They are such a gorgeous blue color. I bet that shade of blue would look amazing on a car or a motorcycle. Wonder what the color code for that blue is. Haha
Balfouri Blue would be awesome!
Learned something new! Thanks, Dave!
Yeah I get a twofer. I love balfori communal videos and I love sling videos. So this one video is extra awesome.
❤️❤️❤️
The males are so leggy! I’m curious to see if they web according to plan.
Sorry you ended up with so few babies Dave, that stinks. Usually the female of any species is the most beautiful but I think the male is in this case. The male you showed was quite stunning. Tyfs God bless you
I rehoused my Balfouri communal a couple days ago I had nine juvies. The males truly are fast. I couldn't believe you had babies in there too. I enjoy seeing Balfouri communal rehouses because there is always so many to catch.
