*** Apologies for the previous video being 30 seconds, guys. I'm not sure what happened, but it was definitely a glitch on TH-cam's part. Regardless, I hope you guys enjoy this video and I hope all goes well after this.
You see, I finally convinced my mom to let me get a tarantula, (I guess she thinks it's weird for a girl in middle school to want something like that, haha.) so I was wondering if you could give me some recommendations on what kind of tarantula to start out with? Also, advice on feeding, enclosure set up, and transferring the spider from its shipping container into its enclosure would be helpful! I want to give the spider a long, happy, healthy life . . And I want the same for me, so no bites please! xD
I love spiders but I am terrified of roaches...I lived in Hawaii for a year. Some of the roaches there are almost tarantula sized and some species of them can fly and will chase you. After dealing with that, you will love spiders forever and be very grateful they are here. If not, our planet would be overtaken by insects! Good to hear these videos are helping ease your fears. Not all spiders are scary, the larger ones actually tend to have the weakest venom. Interesting little fact you might like to know!
Girl: Dad remember when I killed a butterfyl and you said “no butter for a week”? Dad: yeah Girl: and when I killed a honeybee, You said no honey for a week? Dad; yeh? That was a week ago? Girl: Mom just killed 2 cockroaches, Should I tell her? Dad: how is that supposed- 😳 ....
I know roaches have their place in our ecosystem and are important in nature but anyone who ever has had to deal with a roach infestation has to find this video a little bit satisfying. LMAO! It's good to see that spiders love roaches because most of us humans probably DON'T!
Bekka- Spiders are very underrated pets as far as being low maintenance. They don't need cleaning or expensive pumps like fish. You don't have to feed them rodents like a snake and turtles are adorable but unless you have a large enclosure and clean it often they smell really foul. Lizards have their issues too and need a varied diet and proper temperature. Tarantulas have NONE of these issues and do not need walking, bathing or brushing. They don't bark and they don't poop on your floor and their tank doesn't need to be cleaned that often because they don't poop that often. The only minor annoyance is the cricket noises during feeding time. You also must remove the cricket corpses or those will smell. Other than that, spiders are without a doubt one of the easiest animals to keep. Once you have one, it's hard to not want more because it is really inexpensive to feed them. I have owned over a dozen in my lifetime, since I was a kid. Keep in mind that once you start the tarantula hobby, it can be addicting. I have to stop myself from wanting to buy another one!
PositivePyramid Programming That's so true! I just bought my first tarantula yesterday. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous because the pet shop only had a Ephebopus Murinus, and I've heard that they're not the best for beginners, but I don't mind being thrown in the deep end. The color contrast on her is stunning, however. I'm gonna be bringing her home tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to giving her a proper home (she's been in the shop for over 6 months, she's an adult, and her enclosure is TINY!)...
That is great! Best of luck with your new tarantula. Just do your research on that species and the rest you kind of learn as you go. Each spider will also have their own personality regardless of species, so just take your time and eventually she will get used to things and probably calm down. Good luck!
Love your videos :3 you actually made me decide to get my own tarantula, so now I have a beautiful baby girl and I absolutely love her, thanks Exotics Lair!! :P
You're really natural behind the camera, makes for some really enjoyable commentary! I love the editing as well, very minimalistic and showing the very best bits. Loving your content :)
Just got my first two slings!! You and Petko unknowingly talked me into it...!! Now I find myself re-watching all your sling videos and rubbing my hands together ahhaha :D
I realize I'm coming late to this party, but it popped up in my recommendeds this morning - this is awesome! I've been watching T feeding videos long enough now to know that quite often, the ones you think are definitely going to eat, won't, and the ones you swear won't eat, will... so, it made me giggle when he said slings usually don't eat, and so far, every one of them has taken those juicy roaches! Contrary spiders :P
I love your voice, man.... but i could not live in your house, I would have the constant anxiety of tarantula escape. I would seal off each room with adhesive tape on the door lock! Hahah love your videos
I had an ex who felt the same way...He constantly would say "I have nightmares that one of your spiders will get out of the tank and I will wake up with it on my face." Then, I got a snake and he said, "What if it gets out and chokes me in my sleep?" Hahahaha! This was a corn snake so this would be totally impossible because they are not strong enough to choke a human. Things didn't last long with this guy. He probably still has nightmares about my pets! LMFAO!
PositivePyramid Programming I'm fascinated by this type of animal but I'm sure I could not own one of them with peace in my mind. hahaha I know that even a dog can hurt you but maybe it's just a psychological thing! I love this channel anyway
PositivePyramid Programming anyway I think that owning them in my country is illegal (Italy). Or maybe it's not illegal but you have to declare them somewhere
Hahahahahaha! Yeah, owning spiders isn't for everyone. I only had one spider escape in 20 years of owning spiders and it was a tiny baby. Tarantulas are actually very fragile creatures and can die from a short fall. Believe it or not, there have been ZERO deaths from tarantula bites in North America's history. There is a lot of needless fear over tarantulas when they are not the deadliest spiders. Smaller spiders actually tend to be the deadly ones. There are only a few known species of tarantula that can harm a human and even then, the bite isn't fatal, just really painful. The majority of the biggest, scariest looking spiders are not usually deadly. Their size, bright colors and prickly hairs are mostly to make predators avoid them. Spiders adapted to look scary to predators and humans are a predator and we eat just about anything, including tarantulas in some cultures. You look much scarier to a spider than it looks to you. I hope this helps ease your fears!
always had a fascination with spiders, watching them as a kid, throwing ants into webs and watching them make webs and eat, being the wolf spiders, the trapdoor looking spiders that make webs in walls, and the garden orb spider, but i never thought of owning a T, i felt afraid of them, the size of them, the thought if them biting me, and scared to handle one etc.... but after watching your channel exotic lair, few jump scares from the feeding videos, and seeing all the beautiful looking species you have, i went into my 1st shop today to see a baby brazilian white knee, omg it was so cute, and now i am really considering getting one ^.^ thank you for your videos
Maybe because tarantulas are AWESOME! I got my first one when I was 8 years old and have had many over the years. Out of all pets, they probably are one of the most addicting. Once you buy one, you will want more!
I have a Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater! I've never seen a baby one before, I didn't know they were so much more pink in color! I think I prefer the way the adults look, but either way they're beautiful spiders
Oh TH-cam you had one job lol. I'm not a fan of spiders at all nor afraid of them but it's so interesting to see a spider eat. I do love you're skeleton and Mexican red rub spiders there so cute. First time commented and randomly found this channel one late night. Keep up the great work.
I am a new subscriber. Glad you remade your feeding video. Nice job. I had tarantulas back in the 1980s. I miss them. Thank you for putting your pets on camera.
I don’t like spiders but watching your channel has made me tolerate them a little more.. plus I respect how much you care for these creature❤️ giving all the critters love and care no matter how creepy.. but I have still had to itch at least 10 times watching this 😂
YAY FEEDING THE SLINGS YAY 😍 so much slings so cute😍 them slings are cuties my lord they can eat and run😍 these are just the cuties things I have seen😍 baby slings so cute😍from these slings there so cute😍 insane take downs from slings😍
Yay! An Exotics Lair video!!! 😄 I get so pumped when that lil notification pops up! And I'm sorry, I can't resist saying it & I doubt I'm only one that thought it, but "That's what SHE said" in response to you saying, "damnit, wrong hole". 😂😂😂 thanks for the awesome video as always!! Can't wait for the next one! ☺
Exotics Lair hahaha, my bad. I didn't read thru all the comments this time cause there were soooo many already lol. You're hilarious and that's what makes your channel so awesome. :D
Your channel has helped my arachnophobia tremendously. I even find some of them cute, like the Green Bottle Blue and the Guyana Pink Toe. The way you speak to them in such a reassuring and non-aggressive tone makes me think of them like little fur-babies (especially the furry ones). Thank you!

Hey! I was wondering if you got my comment on the last video? xD I had some questions for you! Awesome spiders by the way!
When I watched it it was five minutes. I got to see the full video. But that was right when you uploaded it. Maybe it glitched out later on.
Hey, what was your question?
Shelby, yeah it glitched only after an hour.
Hope it doesn't happen again !

I agree, especially if roaches are not your favorite bug!

That moment when you find out that a tarantula is named after your country Namibia🇳🇦😄
You're really natural behind the camera, makes for some really enjoyable commentary! I love the editing as well, very minimalistic and showing the very best bits. Loving your content :)
Thanks :b
"I'll have to cut out quite a lot"
TH-cam: "I can do that!! :)))"
Those are some funny looking kittens you got there. Still very cute!
No, they're clearly guinea pigs!!! lol
No there clearly their sharks don’t you see the legs 😂
@@halogamer45z Wrong, they're clearly elephants!
Markie Justice no I was wrong they’re clearly blue whales thx for telling me 🤣
@Robby Marcos actually that person was right, it's a blue whales
Just got my first two slings!! You and Petko unknowingly talked me into it...!! Now I find myself re-watching all your sling videos and rubbing my hands together ahhaha :D
Why am I suddenly so entertained watching these guys eat and get fresh water?
I realize I'm coming late to this party, but it popped up in my recommendeds this morning - this is awesome!

"Dammit, wrong hole!" MAAAAAAAAAAN, if I had a nickel for every time...
You'll be rich
You'd have zero nickels.
HAHAAHAHA
Haha
Haha i thor your sat asa hole
Whenever you say their scientific names I swear it sounds like you're saying the whole Apu's name.
it sounds like when you are saying the entire phobia word for the fear of long words
That was WAY MORE AWESOME than expected!
The baby spiders look like they really missed their friends, the Roaches. BIG HUG🤣🤣🤣
"What a dumb roach." I lost it. Great vid.
1:42
He hatch
He catch
But most importantly
He snatch
I have a phobia of *most* spiders but I find your videos very enticing to watch. Keep it up!
Ur videos are so addicting
It's nice to see the babies eat once in a blue moon. 😁😍
1.45 her dug out enclosure was cool af
Lol i wake up because is morning here, and i have a notification of you, well its a pretty way to start the day
Camelot I woke up 20 mins ago (from 7:20)
So cute how he looks at the slings like they’re his children 😂😂
Love all your videos, this one didn’t disappoint!
Thank you so much for doing the babies. My life is complete, I could die happy
I was waiting to see these babies again, as always, great video
The reason I love watching slings eat is because the roaches are relatively really large, and so you get some AWESOME takedowns!
I am terrified of spiders but I am always drawn to these videos. Great content though!
I don’t even have a spider, but I just love watching your videos, your enthusiasm is amazing.
Can you pleaseeee make a patreon or something so we can get you an even better camera? I’m trying to see these great videos in even better quality 👍🏽
I love the fuzzy ones like literally those spiders are so cute I can’t even😊
Iv been waiting for this!! Your videos are educational and awesome!! Keep it up :)
I was hoping there was a video like this! I'm glad you showed us the babies eating!
I love your voice, man.... but i could not live in your house, I would have the constant anxiety of tarantula escape. I would seal off each room with adhesive tape on the door lock! Hahah love your videos

The roach fled the hole and i seriously thought shed have to chase him but he WENT *BACK IN T H E hOlE*
I love tarantulas and your videos they make my day happy :3
You actually make spiders kinda lovable... lol but seriously, you're super entertaining
I love it when these guys utterly destroy roaches.
I’m afraid of spiders, but I love watching videos of people feeding their Spiders and stuff. Great video 👏🏻😀
Hope to see those babies grown up🤤🤤❤️❤️
These babies are pretty awesomely aggressive! Fun to watch, you should do more videos feeding the babies
I want one now despite my Arachnophobia, but my cat would eat it.
Slings are cute, that’s what people want it. Look at them so hungry and small.
They are so adorable...

The bugs freak me out more then the spiders.
I have arachnophobia, but I'm honestly more scared of roaches than spiders so watching this video is making me love spiders. Your spiders are heroes.
Yay I love all your tarantula. The babies are sooooo cute. Idk why but I have taken a liking to spiders and tarantulas lately.
Maybe because tarantulas are AWESOME! I got my first one when I was 8 years old and have had many over the years. Out of all pets, they probably are one of the most addicting. Once you buy one, you will want more!
I like how the first spider froze as soon as the roach hit the dirt, until it pounced.
TH-cam doesn't like spiders I guess.
Seems to be the case :/
TheMasterCheese I do
Apple apparently doesn’t either
Lol
I have a Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater! I've never seen a baby one before, I didn't know they were so much more pink in color! I think I prefer the way the adults look, but either way they're beautiful spiders
Not a fan of spiders, but love the vids lol
Every time you put a roach in there it’s like those horror movies where the characters are trapped somewhere but with spiders and roaches
I saw the first 30 second video and I was like...what?😂😂
So frustrating, lol
Omg that was awesome! Not too mention you are funny lol! New to the channel but already love it! Thank you!
My little baby tamales are growing up 😭!!! P.s love your vid s

1:33 that carapace though looks like B. emilia they have the black triangle or could be hi-bred
Oh TH-cam you had one job lol. I'm not a fan of spiders at all nor afraid of them but it's so interesting to see a spider eat. I do love you're skeleton and Mexican red rub spiders there so cute. First time commented and randomly found this channel one late night. Keep up the great work.
