    Reading vs watching this kind of information on tarantulas really makes a difference cause it piques your interest more than the former. Your videos really helps me in simulating my tarantulas natural habitat and applying it in their enclosures
    Thanks man, big help

    This looks like so much fun. :-) I'm happy to see that you and your crew are very respectful to not only the tarantulas, but their habitat as well. Can't wait to see more.

    What a gorgeous specimen! Mine moulted a few weeks ago and I just rehoused it very smoothly. Side note... my A. seemanni is blue under the light. The femurs give off a blue similar to a C. versi sling while the carapace is similar to that of E. truculentus. I have read about there being regional sp. of A. seemanni, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, but I can’t seem to find anything more than opinions.

    Yes. I use both leaflitters, roots, bark ans soil from my garden in my enclosures. I have done it for 15 years. I have great clay based soil that is great mixed with peat. Many people think it is dangerous to use things that you collect. But it is totally safe. I really dislike this coco fibre people are using. Soil with clay is great in both dry terrariums for example a Pterinochilus, and for a moist terrarium for a T blondi or an Hapliprlma. Usally i mix 50/50 claysoil and peat, but in some terrarium i use pure claysoil. Much easier for the tarantula to dig burrows in claysoil than coco fibre. Another mistake i see new beginners do is not packing down the substrate. As you say, ground where tarantulas lives is often rock hard, and beginners seems to thunk they can not dig burrows in rock hard soil, but it is the other way around, if tge substrate is loose, the tarantula often dont dig burrows and search for another spot with harder soil

    Great video! I'm fascinated why they would choose to burrow so close to a road! In fact, so many species in your videos seem to do this. Perhaps it's because building a road sometimes makes an embankment on one or both sides of the road afterwards? Which some T species prefer for catching prey or perhaps the soil / substrate is less compact (having been dug up and moved either side of the road) so T's easier to build burrows in? Or perhaps they chose embankments near roads as that provides them with a substrate that's more malleable and they can also can also chose a northerly position (if they're in the northern hemisphere) for their burrow entrance, so that they get some shade from the sun during the day and then they won't overheat with the sun streaming directly into their burrows?
    Also, the Spidershop on-line store suggests that Nicarguan Seemani specimens are more black with white stripes, Costa Rican specimens are more chocolate brown with white stripes and Guatemalan are more blue with white stripes? As you are my oracle on all things tarantula, I'd love to know your opinion my friend.
    Your videos are, truly, in an inspiration to me and have enticed me back into the hobby after 29 years since my Grammostola Rosea. I've bought 35 slings in the last three weeks. All thanks to you. Hope to meet you one day, but for now. thanks so much for your brilliant videos! JustinUK

      I'm taking a wild guess here with the road burrows, but I'm guessing that since the road is so busy, potential predators are less likely to be in that area.

    my a. seemani drinks water almost every day, i agree they should not be kept totally dry.

    Care sheets for this species usually have humidity at 65-80 which seems too high now I'm looking at this? 🤔

    • @birdspiders
      @birdspiders  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      depending on the season, it's not all year the same. We visited in the dry season, so less vegetation and rain

    • @birdspiders
      @birdspiders  ปีที่แล้ว

      ideally one should not interfere with wild animals, feeding even worse. If we find a locust or insect, we give it to the spider though

    • @chandaphillips1337
      @chandaphillips1337 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@birdspiders lol that’s exactly what I do. I feed the little wolf spiders outside. It’s kept the same generation around for the last five years and it’s helped dramatically with the brown recluse problem we had when we first moved in this house we’re in now. I love my little spiders. Even bring some in for the winter. I bring them out in the spring to my garden. They’re my little buddies. I’d call them tame before I would wild tbh

      sometimes we do, this female got a lot of water to drink in this dry period! We don't want to interfere to much with the wild nature, but when there is a grasshopper around, she will get it :)
