Only because I'm a loyal follower of Dave and his channel, and knowing his two Six Eyes are safely across the Atlantic, could I bolster my courage to watch this. To me, Sicarius is the ugliest and most terrifying object, living or dead, that the world possesses. It's a combination of the sinister body shape, how the legs curl wickedly forward, the disgusting abdomen, its pounce, its vile frantic scuttle, and most of all the way it vibrates to hide its hideous self. Dave, you didn't say "What a lovely spider it is!" like you cheerfully do with your tarantulas, so thank you for that. And thanks for not letting it jump out and run around the room.
I totally agree with you. @lurkmour3926 They give me the creeps and sent a shiver down my spine. To be honest it was a relief to see those lids go back on ! Dave I have watched you for years, You have helped me loose my deep fear of spiders and I really enjoy your informative videos. But these horrors are what nightmares are made of...that's going a step too far for me. No, no, they are not beautiful or loveable... no way,...Ugh (Sorry xx)
hi dave been watching for a while now and just wanted to say, ever since i was a small child i have been absolutely terrified of spiders, however they have always fascinated me, im happy to say that even i have considered a few of the species you own as a "pet"(sorry i still use that term loosely) XD, in particular the brazillian jewel, beautiful colours. the point of my ramblings were simply to highlight my immediate reaction of goosebumps and cold chills have subsided, and i can now encounter spiders around my home without immediately running in fear so thankyou, you and your spiders have been pivotal in my "curing" so thankyou! keep up the videos i always enjoy learning about different species.
Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕🕷️hope you’re both well and having a great week so far. Great video again from The Beastie Room. What great information about this species of spider. Aren’t they intriguing 🤔 and very dangerous arachnids. Flip me, they’re faster than Linford Christie 😂 Not for beginners 😂😂 Wonderful footage from Camera Lady as always 😊 Thanks for the insight into this genus Dave 😊 Take care both of you guys, have a great rest of your week and weekend too 💙💕🕷️🥰😘xxxx
Despite some of the different information out there regarding any of the "Six Eyed Sand Spider" subspecies (I believe there is more than one), it is just a safe to treat them with respect. Heck, I took measures so I would not have gotten bitten by my pet corn snakes that I used to have. I believe if you treat things with respect and understanding that it is possible for just about anything to pose a danger to you, you will be better off. It is like owning a firearm. You always treat it as if it is loaded. I do not care if you just checked it. I have my opinions on pets, keeping animals and handling certain ones. I am definitely more "conservative" in these regards. I am not too judgmental of those that differ, except some of the techniques for handling venomous snakes. I will keep my opinions to myself though, since it can be an argumentative subject. lol Excellent video Dave! Please thank the camera lady and keep up the great work! Cheers!
I totally agree with you and this is why I have not been bitten in 40 years by either spiders or venomous snakes 👍and yes every gun is a loaded gun until proved safe 👍
amazing the thought that you had to make an enclosure for them, ha ha ha PROFF. the venom must be very strong and dangerous so care must be taken. great video with the information on these spiders and another project in the making to pairing them if possible. CAMERA LADY SOME GREAT FOOTAGE. MANY THANKS GUYS AND TAKE CARE
awesome video.... terrifying spiders lol ie venom, i do love to watch videos about them too, especially ones of them hiding in the sand, thank you for sharing mr and mrs dave 😍😍😍
Brilliant video Dave, very informative and enjoyable, they're really incredible spiders 🕷, and extremely fast Dave, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.
Another awesome video from the "Spider whisper". Quite an interesting one for sure. Thanks again for the informative video. Don't think I'll be adding this one to my collection but it's still nice to be able to get a good ĺook at them thanks to awesome Camera Lady. Much respect from Cincinnati Ohio USA!!
At the beginning of the video I thought this was disgusting stuff, but you have a magical ability to turn the most hideous into something terribly interesting! Amazing fellow creatures or what? Here in Norway, the biggest spider is the "mudspider" with its 2cm body length ( 0.80 inches) 😂 and the most dangerous is probably E.atrica. House spider. One and only because it frightens the water off 80% of us Norwegians every day🕷 Im so glad I found this channel! You truly have a gift ❤
Always excited to see you’ve uploaded a new video!! These ones scare me a little but you help with my arachnophobia! Keep up the amazing work and thank you for help with my fear!!❤
I love the sand spiders and the way they cover themselves and hide is so cool to watch, to go that long without food and have no water at all they must be pretty robust spiders Great video guys 👍🏻😊
These spiders are extremely terrifying to me I also can’t cope with Huntsman it may well be their legs that freak me out! I am fascinated by these spiders how they live and how often they feed is crazy, living in a desert is such harsh conditions I am always surprised that any life can survive! Mondays and Thursdays are my favourite days a week! 😊
Don't worry, that's very normal. Science is trying to understand why arachnids freak many people out as much as they do and the theories often have something to do with our brains not really being capable of analyzing as many fast moving legs. So we get an overload and a flight response. Of course it's not 100% confirmed, but relatively commonly shared.
@@rebel4466I have no problem with any other spiders they move so quickly which as you said that would be alarming, they also have very strange bodies! Thank you for taking the time to explain, I think it hit the nail on the head! Xx
‘The most pathetic takedown we’ve seen from a spider in a long time’ 😂😂😂😂😂 made me laugh out loud. Talk about not living up to your scary spider reputation 😂
These always remind me so much of crab spiders ! Super cool 😎 🤞 that moult was good enough to find out gender. Great upload as always Dave, Camera Lady ❤❤❤
While moving a stack of firewood in Louisiana, USA about 40 years ago, I was bitten by what I think was a brown recluse. I neither saw the spider nor felt the bite, but a blister about a cm wide showed up on my wrist that gave way to an ulcer the same size that lasted almost a year and left me with a white scar that is still visible. Respect these spiders.
I watched some of those versus videos and this thing absolutely blitzed anything they put in there with it. Fastest acting venom ive ever seen before. You have to feel for the other spider or predatory insect as it squirms around violently in pain before it quickly stops. Dont condone watching those videos no enjoy what happens to the other insect Im just curious as ever. Great video Dave. Yes these spiders are found here in South Africa... I came across them
I'd always admired videos and photos of these guys but never looked into them much past that, had no idea they were so venomous! I love how much I always learn on this channel
great video Dave and camera lady,ive had one of these for a couple of years,a fascinating little beastie indeed,keep up the good work,have a great day🙂
My favorite thing about desert species is that they require nothing and still have stupid long live spans. As opposed to like random jungle species that are more fragile than anything I'd ever imagined.
I don't think it was reliably confirmed that those 2 cases were actually the result of a bite from the six eyed sand spider. Just suspected. Very mysterious spider
Received the calendars Dave and are very awesome quality 🙏 An idea : You should consider creating the large office type ones too maybe 😁 Thank You ❤ PS. i've saved and restored even the little Beastie sticker from the envelope because I like it 😂 got a Beastie wall clock now 🎉 Very interesting sand creatures these are that's sure, we could use so many features from the animal kingdom... some of them unbelievable!
Would be awesome to see a pairing of these! I haven't seen a pairing of these! Considering how "different" they are from our normal spiders, I'm really interested in seeing a pairing from this species from you guys and how it plays out! Hopefully it won't be too long before you get them on the breeding schedule!!!! Awesome spiders!!!!
They hunt like a crab spider. I do enjoy your videos one this species. I have to remind myself that I've only been in the hobby for a year, and im not experienced enough to handle a six eyed sand spider. Heck! I only have 4 tarantulas. All new worlds: 2 Avicularia avicularia( one sling and one juvenile) 1 A. seemanni (juvenile) and 1 Brachypelma albiceps (sling)Lol btw i live in Indiana.
That is not so , Lampona the White tail is unfairly labled , does not have a necrotic venom , it can happen if a bacteria is on the chilliserea when bitten , but any spider can have this problem, cheers
When you talked about their venom it completely changed my opinion with these. At first I was like "Cute little sand legs that'll move four times a year" Now I'm asking myself why you would have them. Necroting provusely bleeding juice doesn't sound like anything I'd want to keep around me 😅 Thank you two for the entertainment. I very much appreciate the slow and calm pace of your videos.
What a fantastic and informative video (as always) always wondered about these pretty spiders! I'm addicted to true spiders at the moment so binge watching all your videos again ❤😂
Very informative video. Just wanted to point out that Sicarius thomisoides is not from Africa. It's South American. All of the African sicariids were moved into the genus Hexophtalma a few years back.
I've been bitten by a brown recluse twice in my life, both when I was a kid. They're extremely common here in Kentucky. The first time was late at night, I got up to use the bathroom and it bit me on the foot. I went to the ER and my leg swelled up for a few hours, some bruising and pain, no big deal. The second time I was going to the bathroom late at night again and the spider walked right up to my toe and bit me. I just stood there watching it, I was super tired I guess. Odd behavior for both of us I'd say. It had no effect, either it was a dry bite or I built up an immunity from the first bite, who knows. But I really want to get one of these spiders. I like the idea of a box of sand with a secret.
To risky for me. I appreciate you sharing because I’d probably never have seen one otherwise. Would be incredible to see them breed all the way through to spiderlings. Thanks again.
I don't know I think we are being too mean at 9:25 to the lil fella, looking at it they only bit once they made eye contact. I think the spider set up an elaborate jump scare! If so, far from pathetic, we just got a clear drama queen on our figurative hands. :D
The sand spiders remind me of those fish in the ocean who cover themselves in sand and wait for pray to wander past. Can't remember what they're called could be an angler fish or a rock fish, anyway they hide and wait. Must work they've been around forever.
I love this species. To humans they pose almost no threat, but they're said to have the most lethal venom of any spider. And they're as contented as a Buddhist monk.
Although possessing a relatively strong Venom, I don't believe these deserve DWAA licensing TBH, The Act was set up to protect the Public from escaped animals that are Potentially dangerous.... Owning a Licence does not protect the Keeper in any way. Adding to this the inability to climb glass and plastic, should prevent any chance of escape, if housed properly. The availability of this Species is very limited & any reputable seller WILL ONLY sell to someone experienced, some even insist on over 18's only.... A very interesting Species for sure, the way they sit makes me think of a " Terrestrial Huntsman ".
Michigan here 👋 My brother in law was bitten by a recluse. He had to go to the emergency room, and be treated for blood poisoning. It was not pretty! Mentioning the recluse tends to cause shivers of fear around here! Lol
I have 3 pet brown recluse and when I feed them and I watch the prey’s reaction after the first bite is so crazy. I have a video of it on my page, but basically they’ll bite and retreat and wait, but the prey will almost seizure. It’s absolutely fascinating
"That was the most pathetic takedown we've seen in a long time" 😂 That made my day.
Dave was surtanly not impressed. I bet he could have done it better himself. Maybe a tip for a future video? 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Only because I'm a loyal follower of Dave and his channel, and knowing his two Six Eyes are safely across the Atlantic, could I bolster my courage to watch this.
To me, Sicarius is the ugliest and most terrifying object, living or dead, that the world possesses. It's a combination of the sinister body shape, how the legs curl wickedly forward, the disgusting abdomen, its pounce, its vile frantic scuttle, and most of all the way it vibrates to hide its hideous self.
Dave, you didn't say "What a lovely spider it is!" like you cheerfully do with your tarantulas, so thank you for that. And thanks for not letting it jump out and run around the room.
But you still love them dont you 😂👍❤️
I totally agree with you. @lurkmour3926 They give me the creeps and sent a shiver down my spine. To be honest it was a relief to see those lids go back on ! Dave I have watched you for years, You have helped me loose my deep fear of spiders and I really enjoy your informative videos. But these horrors are what nightmares are made of...that's going a step too far for me. No, no, they are not beautiful or loveable... no way,...Ugh (Sorry xx)
@@caroleallman8915 Yes! It's a uniquely horrifying species. I suspect it's native to hell.
@@lurkmoar3926 You could be right. Laughing.
hi dave been watching for a while now and just wanted to say, ever since i was a small child i have been absolutely terrified of spiders, however they have always fascinated me, im happy to say that even i have considered a few of the species you own as a "pet"(sorry i still use that term loosely) XD, in particular the brazillian jewel, beautiful colours. the point of my ramblings were simply to highlight my immediate reaction of goosebumps and cold chills have subsided, and i can now encounter spiders around my home without immediately running in fear so thankyou, you and your spiders have been pivotal in my "curing" so thankyou! keep up the videos i always enjoy learning about different species.

Howdy good sir love your videos keep up the hard work
Dave great video educational and enjoyable I've never kept any type of true spider Im tempted to try jumping spider's cheers Dave
These have always fascinated me. Quite a bit larger than I expected!

Thats great I hope you feel better soon ❤️👍
Great Video Dave, lovely spiders, not sure they are for me, i would forget about them 😂
That's some really good spider feeding advice! I've learned something today!
Glad it was helpful!
awesome video.... terrifying spiders lol ie venom, i do love to watch videos about them too, especially ones of them hiding in the sand, thank you for sharing mr and mrs dave 😍😍😍

Cant even call that a takedown, the roach literally pushed itself onto the spiders fangs lol

We have done a video on sexing moults 👍
Very informative video! Learned a bunch about the 6 eyed sand spider 🕷️
These are fascinating nature amazes us doesnt it how they are equipped and adapted to their environments 😊
Always excited to see you’ve uploaded a new video!! These ones scare me a little but you help with my arachnophobia! Keep up the amazing work and thank you for help with my fear!!❤
The venom they have is such a valuable resource, it makes sense that their instincts are to run and hide versus being more defensive.
The take down!! Hahaha that really got me
Amazing and funny moment. Thank you again.
Great video you guys did. I love watching all of them. Thanks for the facts and the great feeding..

Until, one day... someone breaks into your house and installs sand spiders into your box of sand.
@@eroero830 😆😬😆
😂😂
Fascinating, I hadn’t realised they were so venomous.
First spider said “oh I’m on camera again…. Ughhh…, ehhhh here ya go…. I guess I’ll eat it” 😂😂😂

I knew you were gonna say you wanna breed them lol 😂😂😂
Interesting spiders. Seeing them bred would be interesting as well. Amazing bow quickly the roaches died. Thank you for sharing and educating.
If it weren’t for the venom, sand spiders would probably be the easiest spider to keep, because it’s literally a box of sand
In Australia we have the white tailed spider that can cause necrosis…
That is not so , Lampona the White tail is unfairly labled , does not have a necrotic venom , it can happen if a bacteria is on the chilliserea when bitten , but any spider can have this problem, cheers

He REALLY did wait for the food to come to him, and basically into his mouth before he even bit 😂

What a lovely species and shows how wonderfully diverse our hobby is. Finger crossed you'll be able to show us a future breeding project with these.

Definitely a favorite of mine
8:57 the spider be like shit i missed 🤣
How is the spider that came in on packaging from Australia doing? It is grey and about the size of the sicarius you are showing now.
She produced 3 egg sacs and then passed unfortunately
Hi Dave, I saw the Bristol show… let me tell you, camera lady needs to be in front of camera not behind. I loved the exotic plants 🌱
