      @@cosmicarachnid626 thank you!! Unboxing Tarantula Cribs is always so fun. I did use some of these enclosures already, though I do know I have to still edit rehousing Stripe into that big 12” cube enclosure. Keep an eye out, hopefully I’ll be able to post that video soon!!

    Awesome video!! I have a couple of the mini treehouse coming Wednesday!! I also absolutely love your shirt! Also one of my favorite movies! My guess for your new arboreal tarantula you’re getting is a Poecilotheria ❤

      @@puppybreath87 thank you!! Omg awesome, you’re going to love them! They’re one of my favorite enclosures, and so far all of my arboreal slings have really taken to them. Yes!!! It’s such a great movie. I’ve loved it since childhood. Hehehehe that’s such a good guess and we’ll see if that’s correct 👀 I’m picking up my fear not tarantulas order in just a couple hours

    I absolutely love you. You remind me of my granddaughter (huggy bear) you have the same beautiful smile. I'm glad I found your video. I was looking for OBT enclosures. I done have any spiders yet. But I have been watching caves little beasties. To learn how to care for OBT spiders. A friend of mine is giving me 5 of his beginner spiders. So I'm watching as many videos as I can.

      @@kenresendez2665 you are so sweet!!! Thank you so much for your kind words. Oooo, OBTs are a great choice! They’re a really cool spider and build amazing webs if given enough anchor points.
      They are a terrestrial tarantula, meaning they require more ground space than air space. So you want to look for an enclosure with more width than height. It depends on the size of the spider, but a good rule of thumb is the enclosure needs to be about 3x the spiders diagonal leg span (the typical measuring method for measuring tarantulas). For an OBT, I’d actually bump this number up to about 4x the spiders size, because if you give them extra space between you and the enclosure door, they won’t be as reactive. OBTs are famous for their spicy attitude, but I haven’t had any problems with mine. I give them a huge amount of space. But keep in mind that with larger enclosures, the ventilation holes get bigger, so make sure the ventilation holes are smaller than the spiders carapace (main body segment) before rehousing them into it. Otherwise you’ll have an escapee to try to track down.
      You also want to provide enough substrate for the OBT to dig and build their burrows. They will create really cool networks of tunnels if given the opportunity. And provide plenty of anchor points. You can use cork bark tubes, sticks, aquarium decor, just about anything. The spider will web these up and incorporate them into their web tunnels.
      They are an old world species, so handling is not recommended. They have more medically significant venom than new world tarantulas. But if you give them enough space and respect, this shouldn’t be a concern. I haven’t even been threat-postured by my sweet Clementine, and I’ve had her for over 2 years now. And my previous OBT never threatened-postured me either.
      That’s so sweet that you have a friend giving you some spiders!!! Which species is he giving you?

    Hi, I have to say that I'm enjoying your videos. I have to say that I am a fellow hobbyist but I am just a beginner at the video stuff and I think that you're so good, and I really love the way that you handle your animals. I am a fellow hobbyist I have about 40 some tarantulas and I have to say we are very similar except I'm 53 and you're probably 23, I wish I could have kept in it when I was younger but work got in the way and now I'm partially retired and can devote more of my time to my hobby. I just wanted to say that I do watch a lot of videos by a lot of other tarantula hobbyists I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you and the way you present yourself, so thank you Ananda, from chantalspyderlover...

    What crib size do you recommend for empire scorpion 🦂?

    • @lilspooders
      @lilspooders  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@mrcass8075 that depends on the size of the scorpion! There’s so many great terrestrial enclosures offered on Tarantula Cribs website. I’d definitely look at the terrestrial options, and not the other options on the website. A Terrestrial setup will definitely be the right way to go.
      I did a quick google search and the common recommendation for an adult emperor scorpion is a 10 gallon tank. A 10 gallon tank measures 20”x10”x12”. The largest terrestrial Tarantula Cribs enclosure offered is the Terrestrial XL, measuring 18”x12”x12”. So it would compare pretty nicely to a 10 gallon tank when looking at size.
