I'm studying as an ecologist in Australia, so we encounter a LOT of spiders, both dangerous and (nearly) totally harmless. Apparently spiders don't like being picked up by humans because they think the oils on our skin are stinky :(
awe sadge (for spider lovers at least lol)
it's true, though pet spiders (the ones with a temperament that allows) usually are fine with it since they get used to the smell.
Have you seen large huntsmans yet?
stinky mm smelly
@@emkenobiplenty of them, though none quite as big as a hand (yet). We analysed a lot of leaf litter samples in big plastic trays and when we tipped out the dead leaves a bunch of spiders crawled out haha
Maya everyday on stream “don’t play with wild animals”
Maya when she sees a spider “OMG IT FREN LEMME HOLD”
As far as I know spiders don’t get haunted, so it’s fine. Unlike many mammals, spiders probably also won’t remember humans as nice and come up to them to ask for food.
@@Merlin0216that's sad.. Why don't the ghosts like spiders?
@@Cyrribrae 😂 *hunted*
You're my friend now, were getting soft crickets later.
Lmao best comment
“If you get bit on stream it’ll be bad for bugs” the genuine concern there is 🥺🥺
lol saying that out loud was just as '"bad for bugs"'
@@quillclocklol pfft nah it wasn’t.. mayas community is fine to hear that we’re all animal people and understand what Connor means but if Maya gets bit and it’s clipped and shipped to “normies” and the general twitch and TH-cam population then that’s when it’s truly a bad wrap for spiders
“You’re gonna have to get a gateway spider” I think a lot of us could benefit from a gateway spider ambassador! He’s the cutest thing I’ve ever kinda feared
Def a jumping spider!! They’re SO cute and a great educator on arachnids as pets
As someone who is Arachnophobia, I've been trying to gather the strength to watch more than 11 seconds of this video. I love all life, but keep those things away from me.
She already has the second largest frog, so she should also get the largest or second largest spider.
@@enlightendbel no please, their face haunts me 😥
As an avid spider keeper; the amount of joy she has for finding a tarantula and then taking photos of a jumping spider is too relatable. This would make my day
it's so silly watching the tarantula sense Maya's hand and immediately go "oh ew human" and try to go another direction
Lmao "Chat, im gonna do it, can you make sure im not gonna die real quick?"
That’s a Texas brown(no joke that’s the common name) idr what the scientific name for that one was. I at one point had 32 tarantulas I was keeping at the same time. She’s was right though the venom is about a bee sting, but the size of the fang can put a pretty big hole in you. Anything native to NA is pretty docile and not very venomous. I would love to see her keep multiple tarantula’s. They are freaking awesome to watch and feed. I no longer have any but they are neat and would make good ambassadors.
Ive beem tagged before. That shit HURTS but I was feeling decent pretty fast. 32 T's at once is quite a commitment, respect.
I'm pretty sure she's getting a tarantula soon, or at least has gotten an enclosure for one :)
@@Esziepants Iirc doesnt alveus already have one or more? Maybe im tripping.
@@xavierlehew6746 I just remember an unboxing stream where Maya received a tarantula enclosure.
@@xavierlehew6746 They had other arachnids like a vinegaroon (rip pickles) and scorpions
lmao @ maya's little 'let me in!' when she first got on scene 🤣
The day connor was graced by the presence of a wild brown tarantula is the most memorable of his life, but for Maya it was Tuesday.
Dude so you agree that looks like a venomous Texas Brown Tarantula??
Thats def a texas brown, and yes they do have Urticating hairs, not reticulating hairs, and they can definitely flick them around not just drop them. I saw a friend get bit by one and I can confirm that it hurts a decent amount, they likened it to being stung by a bumblebee, but it was not too bad otherwise, no real danger as far as toxicity goes.
I used to looove the wild tarantulas in New Mexico. So majestic in their natural habitat
wooo another new mexican!
I think it’s so adorable how she reacts to the tarantula, I am personally quite scared of arachnids and insects, but it’s very wholesome to see others be happy about these creatures!
Aphonopelma are such puppy tarantulas. They are just so calm and lovely
Except for Seemanni species! They get defensive very easily xD I can’t hold mine because she’s very mean. I named her Beastie because of her attitude 😂
Connor's hard pivot from 'concerned noises because his friend and CEO is putting her face sooo close to a spider we haven't ID yet' to "actually I hope the spider bites your lips so that you can't for a week" is such peak sibling energy. What a great video to highlight the dynamic duo 😁😁😁 And he's so right, Maya is unsurprisingly extremely good at spider photoshoots!!
Maya got me over here freaked but amazed spiders are actually pretty chill and cute ♥
Only Maya can make holding a spider so cute 😮😂
What a cutie. Too bad he didn't wanna walk on her hands.
You’re killing the vibe. I’m dead
"goodbye buddy, hope you find your dad" only true cultured beings know this reference 🐋🎄
Looks like an aphonopelma species! Genus is common in Texas, and you are correct that typically the bite (depending on species) is no worse than a bee sting. For a new world like the one you found, they can release urticating (itching) hairs which can get into your eyes and lungs. Aphonopelmas are great spiders:)
Did Maya just handle a tarantula like it's nothing? Bruh she's badass
The Texas brown tarantula, also known as Oklahoma brown tarantula or Missouri tarantula (Aphonopelma hentzi), is one of the most common species of tarantula living in the Southern United States today. Texas brown tarantulas can grow to leg spans in excess of 10 cm (4 in), and weigh more than 85 g (3 oz) as adults. Their bodies are dark brown, though shades may vary between individual tarantulas. The colors are more distinct after a molt, as with many arthropods. A. hentzi is a rather docile and nonaggressive species. When disturbed, like most other tarantulas, A. hentzi maneuvers itself to a stance on its hind legs and raises its front legs in a threatening manner. Additionally, A. hentzi and most other tarantulas found in the Americas have small, coarse, brown or black urticating hairs on their abdomens that they kick in the direction of whatever they may feel threatens them. It is the main species preyed upon by the tarantula hawk, Pepsis grossa, in areas where the two species overlap.
Bites from the Texas brown tarantula, as with all New World tarantulas, are generally not a serious harm to humans except in the case of an allergic reaction. Due to the large size of their fangs, the puncture wound from a bite can also be painful and lead to secondary infection if not properly treated.
I did not copy and paste this from Wiki. I did it all from memory....(okay, maybe I did copy and paste. Only because I was curious and thought you guys may like to know as well. lol
🕷🕷
Maya is so chilled out Connor is so dramatic lmao spiders are cute and so helpful to have around
I was waiting for this video thats so exciting!!
I can totally understand Connor and I would react the same. Patchy was also great for reducing stress with snakes... but spiders are somehow worse for me.
Loving the spidey photoshoots😊
my favorite part was when the tarantula was discovered at Alveus and turned out to be WILD
Yeah so if a tarantula does 3:18 DO NOT APPROACH as that's a warning. A patient spider indeed.
They flick off hairs in the way that they scratch their "butt" with their back leg, and it can madly irritate your skin, can even get in your-or worse-your pet's airway, and can be fatal for pets. Humans usually just get irritated skin for even a week or longer, but it might be just few days. Their hairs are so sensitive, they can get startled by even a slight breath of air. This is also why they make cobwebs to help them catch prey. Tarantulas are actually very vulnerable, a fall from a table like that could be fatal for some. They do re-grow limbs when they molt, but if damage is greater they easily die. Their "blood" is transluscent liquid, and once it starts leaking it's pretty much done in the nature. In captivity, it's fixed with gentle brush and superglue. Trust me, it can be difficult keeping them alive even with regular food available😅. When threatened, and if not one of the aggressive species, they will prefer to run away or flick hairs than bite. They can be teleporting-fast and are actually freaking awesome, their front "legs" are actually what they use as hands and are called pedialps. If you keep them as pets, you get to see how they decorate their terrarium according to their likings. And if you put a ping pong ball in there with them, they'll move it around.
That "blood" works as hydraulic liquid and that's how they walk and why the curl up after death. Also the reason once they start leaking its hard to stop because of the hydraulic pressure.
The tarantula is the least scary stream sniper I've ever seen.
Not quite sure if I misheard or if your random knowledge was Really impressive for someone who doesn't keep spiders, but slightly off. Urticating hairs are on the top of the abdomen and they flick them into the air by rubbing them with their back legs. The T that you found (most probably a Texas Brown) is really docile, but I'd still advise against getting your face too close. You do Not want those hairs in your eye. That's a doctors visit and a Lot of discomfort for a good while, with possible infection. They might flick hairs even if they aren't feeling threatened enough to display a threat pose, etc.
it was so surprising seeing him bang that metal bowl on the ground right in front of that timid fox and it not even flinch. but im used to seeing them when a streamer comes to visit. maybe they are particularly skittish then.
oh good observation i hadn't noticed. was fixated on the stuff stuck in the bowl lmao
@@ned_arb really shows how well this guy does with the animals here. They are not uncomfortable at all with him around.
They have two foxes, the black one is very friendly and the bred one is VERY scared.
they're used to him by now, scent and sound of strangers is what sets them off
this is why i luv u maya 💚
theyre so cute honestly
thank you maya, i used to be horrified at the sight of bugs and insects, now i enjoy watching them and if i see one in my home i bring it outside. ❤
We have wolf spiders the size of tarantulas in my basement. They mostly leave you alone, except they might climb on you while you're sleeping so imagine waking up with that on you. My chihuahua tries to eat them and I have to squish them because they're so quick and hard to catch.
We moved to Tennessee and one night in the camper, I was watching NCIS on my laptop........ and a huge wolf spider walked across the keyboard..... The laptop was on my chest 😪😵
I'm not ashamed to say that the laptop screen suddenly slammed closed and killed it.
I've become ok with spiders, so long as I see them first before they get close to me. So this one had triggered my arachnophobic reaction... 😅
What I hate probably more, are the *_centipedes!_* As they have _NO_ qualms about crawling on me while I'm in bed (in our house, now) 😭
Initially... takes he a moment to recognize if it's a dog hair caught in my leg hair, being blown by the fan, as my Husky's tail hairs are long and heavy... I'm *never* that lucky, though. 😔😅

@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE yea something about them wolf spiders, they have an evil look about them. I think our anccestors were preyed upon by man eating wolf spiders, and that's why they invoke arachnophobia.
@@the_undead Having never bothered to care enough to look them up until now:
- there's one that is harmless but I can't say I've encountered it based on looks (Brown a Centipede)
- one that should be avoided (Eastern Bark Centipede), which IS commonly seen in our place and I've always been quick to dispatch them with a needlenose pliers 😁
- one that is harmless (in terms of venom) yet *does* have a painful bite, but isn't one I recognize (Eastern Red Centipede)
- another that is also harmless, and also seen in our place (House Centipede)
- and a group of "Soil Centipedes", of which it doesn't mention them being poisonous or if needing to avoid
So there we are! The most frequently seen one is *also* the one you definitely want to avoid!
_Yyyaaaaayyy..._ 😞 lol
Think this one might be an Aphonopelma hentzi. They're more likely to run or kick hairs than bite, as its out wandering it'll likely be a male looking for a female to mate with and eventually become her meal. I've been looking for an Aphonopelma chalcodes for so long, they are like puppies with 8 legs
As a tarantula keeper this was dope to see. I have the same species, (A. Chalcodes which I may be wrong but looks to be it) raised her since she was a sling, and she helped me get over my fear of spiders. Her name is cheese and they’re awesome little critters.
dude i could NEVER! I would be packing my belongings and leaving the next day.
Maya having bigger balls then all of us
Jumping spiders are the best! Tell her! They are so smart and good eyes
"They don't growl?" 😆
This is the most stressful video I’ve watched all week by far,
tarantula is more scared of maya than the other way around lmaoo
I love Tarantula's. They keep my apartment relatively bug free. Don't necessarily like when they're on the ceiling though and could dive bomb me. Gotta duck and run when that happens lol.
"you're killing the vibes in here"
Maya has absolutely no fear
Regal jumping spider as a gateway spider 😃
Maya harassing a spider❤
what a gentleman, he stopped for the photo
As a kid, i used to go looking for these guys in my cousins front yard. During the summer there would be like a dozen little tarantula burrows and id lure them out with with sticks so that I could hold them. I absolutely love them
Hi, tarantula owner here. I can confirm that is a Texas Brown. Their venom isn’t strong enough to cause serious damage unless you have an allergic reaction (similar to bee stings). They’re known for being pretty chill spiders. :) It is one of the few tarantula species that are endemic to the US. Thank you for saving the little guy!
ngl he would live a really good life if he lets Maya be his friend
typical person carmara memes and selfies
maya's carama rolla animals and bugs
lmao the selfies
I'm terrified of spiders. Why am I watching this video?!
Edit:
Okay actually he was kind of cute. That is something I never thought I'd say. But yeah when they move slowly it's okay. It's when they run real fast that it freaks me out.
It’s really funny that the most dangerous thing about them is their hair
Bahaha I love Mayas personality at around 4:07 or whenever in the video she says "aw he’s feeling around" and he’s actually using his back leg to flick irritating hairs at her 😂 love tarantulas though I own one and the hairs apparently don’t bother some peoples skin all that much it’s just more of an irritation and that brush was big and scary fr. I love their fuzzy butts so CUTE
It’s actually 4:02 that I think he is flicking he could be feeling out but that’s a rapid movement and my tarantula normally moves very slow when he’s feeling things out so I think it’s the booty hair defense I get Maya knows about the hairs but I think the spider is doing it there if you zoom in which is cool to see
It looked like Maya was trying to burn it under a lens in the sun
You take a plastic tennis ball can and just scoop them up and toss them back outside. I've done it many times...just not with a tarantual!
What im hearing is.. maya needs a taranthla
So cooool
yo maya is just built diferent shes wild
Most Texas tan tarantulas are harmles me and my boss go herping there alot and catch them often also if he was pissed he woukd put his front legs up in the threatening posture more as a defensive mechanism
fuslie's tarantula, edna, has made it to texas!
Hell to the f’n no way.
good video mr jonny
trantulas never really scared me as much as other large spiders, i guess ive seen enough videos of pet ones and how theyre pretty chill even in the wild (just dont corner wild animals)
giant enemy spider
can you upload those pics somewhere
Tarantula is the gateway spider...haha...or jumping spider...
Poor baby is so scared
that’s just a little texan brown, bee sting bite- got pretty small fangs for one though
could you share the photos somehow? would be great, thanks!
everyone is saying texas brown but the texas state parks page i read said even experts with proper equipment struggle to ID wild texas tarantulas accurately o_O he's a very cute little guy, whatever he is!
GOOD TARANTULA
Last 🫨
0:17 "it's kind of cute" 💀
Today we got Spoods!
nice
Me with arachnophobia squinting while watching lmao.
Free spood!
well now I officially have a crush on Maya. this lil texas brown is a cutie! also, she meant "urticating," not reticulating. retics are pythons, new world tarantulas have urticating hairs. 🥰
Watch out Maya! Some of them jump!
If I saw that in my house I would burn it down
Gd your brave.....I like it.
He's gonna bite your lip and it's gonna swell up for weeks and you're not gonna be able to 🦜 talk oh you know what? sounds great 😅
Spooders 😬
That looks like my favorite species. It's hard to ID them cause they can look so similar but I love Aphonopelma chalcodes.
Edit: Just kidding it looks like an Aphonopelma hentzi
👍🏾
What's with the cowboy hat during the video? Or am I bugging out??
Why is she taking like 9000 pictures next to it, when my man has a camera in his hands
They’re urticating hairs not reticulating just fyi :)
2:24 feet 🌚
i … gotta go 😨😨😨
w8 is this America? There are spiders this big there? Holy fck I am never going there xD Where I live max is the size of my nail.
The max you've seen perhaps. The bigger ones are probably under your bed or in your walls.
Big spiders are typically better than small ones. Like with scorpions, the bigger the species the less potent venom they'll have as they start to use brute strength rather than specialized venom, as crushing prey is way more energy efficient
I'd rather deal with a tarantula than a wolf spider. Wolf spider can get pretty much that big, and they tend to be quite a bit more aggressive. Not to say that they'll attack on sight, but they're definitely more likely to bite when they feel threatened than a tarantula.
good news is no native tarantulas over there have significant venom to humans
Is that a Texas Brown Tarantula though???
There aren't many brown Tarantula species in Texas so I'm pretty sure that's a venomous Brown Texas spider
Reticulated Urticating hairs ❤
Wait a sec…WE HAVE TARANTULAS IN TEXAS??!?
I’d evacuate immediately.
Several species in fact! The one here is likely a Texas Brown but it's kinda hard to tell.
