You turned out to be 💯% correct, Dave. She was vastly healthier and feistier this time than last. Clearly you know whereof you speak. Thanks for explaining about phorid flies and nematodes. 👍
Anyone who comments saying that what you were doing is wrong, I would bet all my money, they are not even close to being as experienced as you are with T's. They would be terrified to help their animals the way you are willing to do. They would simply kill them to end the problem, where as you act. You are one of the best my good man!
Weird, I have not seen any comments saying what he is doing is wrong. You know, we all can't just do what Dave does. His calm demeanor when working with his animals belies the fact that he is working with some very dangerous spiders that can attack you quicker than you can blink. Dave is an ultra-advanced keeper with skills most of us do not have. In fact, you could put him in a pub with all the other tarantula experts in the world who match his skills and knowledge and afford to buy them all a round or two. In this case I would have corrected the husbandry error and hoped for the best. If the tarantula continued to decline, then euthanizing it would be something I would absolutely do.
You can really tell that having a cool control vs panicking is so natural. The respect is there, but you know you have to do what you have to to save a life. Amazing mend on her, and I hope she changes into some new clothes soon!
Like Homer Simpson said about 26 years ago: „ Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.“ You are extremely knowledgeable and kind and you never know who writes those questionable comments. Ignore the nasties and embrace the goodies 😊😊😊
I've been watching long enough to understand you know what you're doing .... and, You love your spiders. My best to you and the Mrs. and of course, the spiders.
I'm so afraid of spiders but never miss a single video! You are so awesome and its thrilling and informative at the same time. Thank you for your great work Mr. Dave and Mrs. Camera Lady ❤
When you had her lying on her side and were brushing her legs, I can't help but wonder if it felt good to her. Like us having someone scratch our back...feels so good 😊 She laid still for a bit just then like she enjoyed it ❤
I’m glad the spider is feeling better now. Im sure she’ll be mad at you for a few days but if you give her the spider equivalent of chocolate she’ll slowly come round 😂
Unhand me hooman and fear me! Ooh that tickles, I like the brush. Didn't so much like the tweezers tho lol. Well done Dave she has a lot more attitude back today.
I hit the 👍 and you know what’s best for your beasties. Everyone has opinions and they’re always going to get expressed 🤷♂️ I’ll continue to live vicariously through you and camera lady 😂👍
Ive gone from a complete arachnaphobe to a (hands off) spider admirer thanks to channels like this. The Dark Den is very good and ive learned a lot but never seen this sponge grab technique - its fascinating! Shes lucky she ended up with you guys, great to see her looking feisty during her spa day 😅
Im totally with you! Agree watching this channel I can look at a spider without killing it! I simply take it outside and let it do it's thing🙂I appreciate and respect how much we need spiders to exist in nature!
Those are eggs, but what I think happened is when you took her out and put her in the totally dry enclosure you dried out the eggs and killed them off too. That fly must have been one maggot you missed, darn thing. Great job Sir!
After all these years of you keeping spiders, people still have to comment that you don’t know what you are doing? Wow! That’s rich. I think you are doing an amazing job and you’re the Best! ❤❤❤
Given the life cycle of the Phorid fly, you will need to check her around 14 days and 30-35 days before you can be sure the problem has gone for sure. Great job Dave, so pleased you were able to help her.
Could you do a video on the different diseases and parasites that the spiders can get? Discussing them with show and tell would be valuable to clarify their differences and how to approach handling them. People tend to fuss as if they are taking care of a human baby that needs attention. Protocol and knowledge would be interesting and help us to maintain a methodical mindset and procedure about options. Thanks so much. I'm so glad the Singapore Blue is better. Good job.
I experienced having mites on my Brachypelma emilia juvie, this spring! Luckily, I have an online friend, who is a friend of a real arachnologist at Copenhagen University. So I asked him, what to do. All I had to, was to get my critter in a barren, dry, plastic container. Then throw out her substrate, "nuke" the containts (water dish, little log, decorative stones) in a microwave, pour boiling water into the regular cage itself, and then drying it and leaving it into dry air for 2 days. THEN I put fresh potting soil AND the contents of the cage back in. (Water dish, little log, and decorative rocks). And then my sweet little critter got put back in!😊❤ The mites came in via her worms, but now, nothing bad has entered her home. It WAS bad, though, when she was attacked by them! She was very slow and inactive. Both me and my wife could both see, that she didn't do well!😢 But I am SO glad, that THIS creature crisis went well!😀👍🌟
I remember in the last video you got a whole bunch of very odd and strange, sometimes rude comments from the comment section..... Why's it so hard for someone to understand that litteraly the only other option was for her to either suffer a tortuous death or be humanely dispatched? Clearly your efforts had a very positive impact, that can't be argued. I've always found it so strange when some rando on the internet casts their emotional bias towards an actual expert like yourself.
You are literally the spider man, you handled her so gently and she is a gorgeous girl and I'm so happy she has a daddy like you, I've only just recent taken a big interest in spiders of all kinds but have always been fascinated, I have also seen videos where I felt there should have been a little less poking at a spider and then calling mean names because it naturally become defensive at been what looked like tormented the poor wee souls, then I see you you're handling and kindness and how gentle you are and it reassures me there are good souls out there and I'd love to see more, she looks good and she's very elegant, thank you for helping her and thank you lovely camera lady too ❤
Glad to see her doing so much better. I just hope these videos keep spiders from ending up in the freezer for what is clearly a treatable condition if caught early.
You should open a tarantula veterinary Dave! Both videos are fascinating, amazing competence and confidence to safely hold down a T with such strong venom. Really touching that you put so much effort in to help her :)
Prior to becoming an avid Beasty room fan...I probably could have cared less about a maggoty spider... BUT ...now I have never been more invested!!! Glad she was much more feisty this time.
Well done Dave you gave your spider a second chance and she definitely looks alot better now than she did a few days ago. I really appreciate the way you explain everything and let us know exactly what is going on. Let's get those likes going for Dave, camera lady and the beastie room 👍😊
As someone still relatively new to the hobby this and the previous video are priceless in regards to being prepared for such a situation. You saved that spider from the freezer but you’ve probably saved 100s more by sharing this information
I would love to be able just to spend a week with you and your spiders and learn what I could. You're absolutely amazing to watch and learn from and appreciate all your knowledge your willing to share thank you
David you know what your doing. You can see that she is a lot better and stronger in this video, great work, I love the video very informative, I was very impressed how you handled her and how much pressure to use on her well holding her interesting. These are the kind of videos you never see. So thanks for sharing.
Absolutely Amazing! You are the Beastie Whisperer! You are The Man!! You have it going on and twice on Wednesdays!!! As always stunning video! Thank you for sharing and glad that "she" came through like a champ.
@daveslittlebeasties not at all anyone could've taken the easy way out and put the poor animal down but nope you decided to try to help the animal give a chance at a good life while educating people in a great manner. We don't have much left on this planet like you
Great that you gave this spider treatment instead of going straight to euthanizing! Also deeply appreciate the honest assessment of where the spider's care/enclosure went wrong.
Wow amazing what a wonderful job you have done with her, you can see it’s made a huge difference ❤️ hope this continues and she gets back to full health such positive signs so far 😀 👍
So glad shes better ! Thats made my day 😊 should definitely give her a name now, should call her Zenobia after the rebel queen that took on the the Roman empire, she was full of sass too 😊 Great upload as always Dave, Camera Lady really glad shes pulling through ❤️❤️❤
so happy she is on the mend. I love watching your videos. my favorite is still your catching all of t seladonia slings. well wishes to both you and your lovely camera lady from the Mojave desert
Great Content as always. True Passion. She already feels much better!😂 The Dry White Stuff looks like Eggs, or left Shells for me. Their Maggots are quite mobile, as one can see. She looked Bombed. Of course, unable to feed right there they crawl trough the Fur to the best Place.. However. Cleaning, dry Keep, Ventilation, better Health will take care of these too. Wouldn't bother to much about it, as long as it's dry, it's death. Phorids need Moisture. Also she will be able to defend, clean herself better again soon. She looked so sick. Awesome Rescuemission with Success! ❤
As someone who isn't nuanced in the spider world I was concerned about the phorid fly's spreading to other containers, but you definitely cleared that up.
Just when you think you've seen everything in life you see this.🤔🤯 A lot of people dont treat their significant other as lovingly as you have this Trarancula. Mrs. Camera lady must be one Happy Lady!🤔🤫😉😝😇😎
It's so strange to see it sit so still. My female Singapore Blue is more feisty than my OBTs! I open her enclosure to mist and she will come out of her burrow, through to the end of the corkbark tube and threat pose at me! But the drama is well worth it at night when she sits out of the entrance, beautiful spider.
Hey Dave, thanx for all the educational videos you do, to teach us all. You are an expert in the way you handle and rehouse your tarantulas. You're confident and a role model all tarantula owners must adopt. My goal in my new hobby, is to become an expert just like you. Absolutely fascinating you are. Only channel i trust is yours. Cheers from st-eustache,quebec,canada
Fantastic video Dave. Your skill at handling her was brilliant. It's so useful to us newbies who are wanting to get into the hobby, to be able to learn from you Dave. Honestly you should be on the TV as your a dead natural on camera. And full credit to camera lady for her excellent filming.
I can asure you that water is the number 1 thing to go... as a nurse we came back for cleaning up wounds and other stuff with all kind of chemicals. A good wound cleaning starts with water... lots of water... rinse it. Even when there is an infection... rinsing with water is the start... And even maggots are being used for horrible infected wounds.... 😊 I am glad you saved the poor thing... 🙏 ❤
Your "brutal" intervention just saved that awsome spider 👏👍🙏 Very good job and the 🕷️ is allready much better and vivid 😍 You can be sure that at least this one never gonna die due to stress 😂 she bravely surviving the multiple lifesaving stress sessions. Maybe a small cup of beer or vinegar (dunno if oil too) could attract and trap those winged troublemakers ?
Thank you so much for showing us this. For a someone just starting out like ne I would have freaked done the wrong thing and been so upset. I love the fact you show us the good and the bad parts and how to fix the bad. Love and Light to you and your Camara lady.
Hey Dave, it was my video with the Nematodes. Should also mention that Phorid fly can pass nematodes to other tarantulas. This is done because an infected tarantula will regurgitate its food and that’s a perfect place for the fly to lay its eggs. Thus allowing the nematodes to host onto the larvae/fly which can then pass it to others. As keepers of tarantulas we can only act soon as and prevent. Keeping enclosures clean, notice an increase of flies, you’ll always have Phorid flies and Fungi Gnats flying around your room. We can only reduce with fly traps or I use carnivorous plants. Big thanks to Dave.
That's wonderful. I'm so happy she has improved like she has. She was lucky she had such a caring and gentle owner. You guys are the best. Your collection of spiders and other species that you have in the beastie room all show this. They are truly loved. Love all your videos as always.
Shame on Madam Singapore Blue for sayin' ' get your dirty hands off me!" LOL You've done a proper job Dr. Dave! Kudos. BTW, I worried about those urticating hairs when you were handling her. Didn't that bother you?
I am a Hvac tech and have came across many big spiders in crawlspaces and I have no love for them. But that being said I have respect for them and people who love them.
I haven't kept spiders so far, but if I ever do, I have learned so much from your videos! You're my first stop for learning about them, your knowledge is second to none. Well done on doing a fantastic job with this girl and refusing to go with the accepted wisdom of euthanasia.
The life cycle of a parasite is the indicator for checking an animal after treatment.Phorid fly maggots hatch in a 24 hour time period and grow.So the 2-3 days to see resulted are okay.You could have used Neem oil on this check which should cleared everything up.
You turned out to be 💯% correct, Dave. She was vastly healthier and feistier this time than last. Clearly you know whereof you speak. Thanks for explaining about phorid flies and nematodes. 👍
This girl looks so much better! I didn't realize I was holding my breath for fear of you being bitten. You are a wonderful teacher.
Thank you so much!❤️
Wow, she really has a lot more energy. Great work getting her to this stage. She has a new lease of life.
Anyone who comments saying that what you were doing is wrong, I would bet all my money, they are not even close to being as experienced as you are with T's. They would be terrified to help their animals the way you are willing to do. They would simply kill them to end the problem, where as you act. You are one of the best my good man!

such an informative channel, I really hope she pulls through, thank you for recording this entire situation!
Promising results from being calm, gentle and loving your spider.
Like Homer Simpson said about 26 years ago: „ Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.“
You are extremely knowledgeable and kind and you never know who writes those questionable comments. Ignore the nasties and embrace the goodies 😊😊😊
❤❤😂
Lol. I actually remember that episode. And I’m so happy that the spider is feeling better.
Glad to see she's recovering. Hopefully these videos reach other keepers who may be facing the same issue, it could save a life!
What a difference in her behavior! Those kicking legs, she's really feeling a lot better! So glad to see :)
She's looking much lively then before. You did a life-saving service ❣
Notification popped up and I stopped everything to watch your video!
Yay! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful job handling & cleaning her up! Nice to see her perking up again!
Master class spider husbandry. Nobody in the business is near the level of expertise of this gentleman. Listen, watch, and learn.
Glad you. enjoyed it my friend ❤️👍
I've been watching long enough to understand you know what you're doing .... and, You love your spiders. My best to you and the Mrs. and of course, the spiders.
Thank you very much!❤️
I'm so afraid of spiders but never miss a single video! You are so awesome and its thrilling and informative at the same time. Thank you for your great work Mr. Dave and Mrs. Camera Lady ❤
Wow, thank you!❤️
The more, you LEARN about spiders... the less scary they will be to you. 😊
When you had her lying on her side and were brushing her legs, I can't help but wonder if it felt good to her. Like us having someone scratch our back...feels so good 😊 She laid still for a bit just then like she enjoyed it ❤
Your spider is lucky to have you since most were killing theirs. Nice job
Very happy to see the improvement in your spider's health! Fingers crossed she makes a full recovery with no complications.
So glad to see her on the mend
I think you did great. I make sure I push the like button.
I appreciate that❤️❤️❤️❤️
I clicked it multiple times! I hope it was an odd number 🤔
I’m glad the spider is feeling better now. Im sure she’ll be mad at you for a few days but if you give her the spider equivalent of chocolate she’ll slowly come round 😂
She looks so much cleaner! Great job Dave!
Unhand me hooman and fear me! Ooh that tickles, I like the brush. Didn't so much like the tweezers tho lol. Well done Dave she has a lot more attitude back today.
I hit the 👍 and you know what’s best for your beasties.
Everyone has opinions and they’re always going to get expressed 🤷♂️
I’ll continue to live vicariously through you and camera lady 😂👍
Dave, the accuracy you're handling this is like watching a brain surgeon
Thank you 🙏
Awesome video! Your ability to handle this girl with such a calm demeanor shows just how much skill and experience you have.
Thank you! 😊
Good job beasties. I’m impressed.

Your amazing the way you care for your spiders. She is very lucky to have you taking care of her. Keep doing a great job 💙💙💙
You are so kind❤️
One sentence you’ll NEVER hear me say… “Excuse me. I need to go brush my spider.”. 🥴😜
I've never had concern for the welfare of a spider before, until now, there's a first time for everything, thank goodness she's doing well
I remember in the last video you got a whole bunch of very odd and strange, sometimes rude comments from the comment section.....

All we can do is try and educate ❤️👍
I can‘t believe how strong she seems 🤩 I am so happy for you (and her) 🥰❤
One of my leaf roller cricket had an internal phorid attack when I saw her dying. Lucky your T' survived considering they can turn VERY deadly
It's got 42k views now!

Glad to see her doing so much better. I just hope these videos keep spiders from ending up in the freezer for what is clearly a treatable condition if caught early.
Spooder: "NOT THE SPONGE!! NOT THE SPON-*mphphhhrr*" she's a beauty! Awesome job saving her!

I would love to be able just to spend a week with you and your spiders and learn what I could. You're absolutely amazing to watch and learn from and appreciate all your knowledge your willing to share thank you
Wow, thank you!❤️👍
An excellent contribution to tarantula medical science.
Which there ISN'T a lot of!😂
David you know what your doing. You can see that she is a lot better and stronger in this video, great work, I love the video very informative, I was very impressed how you handled her and how much pressure to use on her well holding her interesting. These are the kind of videos you never see. So thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely Amazing! You are the Beastie Whisperer! You are The Man!! You have it going on and twice on Wednesdays!!! As always stunning video! Thank you for sharing and glad that "she" came through like a champ.
Glad to see things are looking better.
I'm so relieved that the little lady is doing better! Dave and Camera Lady, you are the best!! 💕💕🕸🕷🕷🕸💕💕
Dave you sir are a national treasure
Your too kind ❤️
@daveslittlebeasties not at all anyone could've taken the easy way out and put the poor animal down but nope you decided to try to help the animal give a chance at a good life while educating people in a great manner. We don't have much left on this planet like you
Great that you gave this spider treatment instead of going straight to euthanizing! Also deeply appreciate the honest assessment of where the spider's care/enclosure went wrong.
Excellent video, best and most technically knowledgeable spider keeper on the web. And best camera lady, take care guys.
Wow amazing what a wonderful job you have done with her, you can see it’s made a huge difference ❤️ hope this continues and she gets back to full health such positive signs so far 😀 👍
So glad shes better ! Thats made my day 😊 should definitely give her a name now, should call her Zenobia after the rebel queen that took on the the Roman empire, she was full of sass too 😊 Great upload as always Dave, Camera Lady really glad shes pulling through ❤️❤️❤
Thanks for the update
So great to see her fighting you. Very glad she’s doing so well. Good job. 30:02
This is welcome news. I agree with you to let her heal. "Less is more" in many instances.
so happy she is on the mend. I love watching your videos. my favorite is still your catching all of t seladonia slings. well wishes to both you and your lovely camera lady from the Mojave desert
Thank you so much!❤️
Great Content as always.
True Passion.
She already feels much better!😂
The Dry White Stuff looks like Eggs, or left Shells for me.
Their Maggots are quite mobile, as one can see. She looked Bombed.
Of course, unable to feed right there they crawl trough the Fur to the best Place..
However. Cleaning, dry Keep, Ventilation, better Health will take care of these too. Wouldn't bother to much about it, as long as it's dry, it's death. Phorids need Moisture.
Also she will be able to defend, clean herself better again soon. She looked so sick.
Awesome Rescuemission with Success! ❤
fantastic job, it is great to see her recovering so well 👍👍👍
Good up date Dave thanks
Hope she pulls through! She clearly has more energy! And hopefully these white things are just dry bits. Good luck 🍀
As someone who isn't nuanced in the spider world I was concerned about the phorid fly's spreading to other containers, but you definitely cleared that up.
Woooohoooo! Dave, (and of course, Camera Lady!) well done! She's looking so much better! Look at those numbers!
Just when you think you've seen everything in life you see this.🤔🤯 A lot of people dont treat their significant other as lovingly as you have this Trarancula. Mrs. Camera lady must be one Happy Lady!🤔🤫😉😝😇😎
❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you
It's so strange to see it sit so still. My female Singapore Blue is more feisty than my OBTs! I open her enclosure to mist and she will come out of her burrow, through to the end of the corkbark tube and threat pose at me! But the drama is well worth it at night when she sits out of the entrance, beautiful spider.
One of the most incredible tarantula videos i've ever seen mate
Thank you 🙏
Thanks to you Dave, I think a lot of people will see spiders in a different light.
Fantastic to see her full of life.
I hope so too!❤️❤️❤️
I find this more educational and as a tarantula owner I appreciate knowing what can be done if it happens to mine. Thank you Dave.
I don't have Spiders.
When I enjoy your videos very much I think I am less afraid of them now.
Hey Dave, thanx for all the educational videos you do, to teach us all. You are an expert in the way you handle and rehouse your tarantulas. You're confident and a role model all tarantula owners must adopt. My goal in my new hobby, is to become an expert just like you. Absolutely fascinating you are. Only channel i trust is yours.

Hey Dave, it was my video with the Nematodes. Should also mention that Phorid fly can pass nematodes to other tarantulas.
This is done because an infected tarantula will regurgitate its food and that’s a perfect place for the fly to lay its eggs. Thus allowing the nematodes to host onto the larvae/fly which can then pass it to others.
As keepers of tarantulas we can only act soon as and prevent. Keeping enclosures clean, notice an increase of flies, you’ll always have Phorid flies and Fungi Gnats flying around your room. We can only reduce with fly traps or I use carnivorous plants.
Big thanks to Dave.
Sorry you had to deal with them b ut was a great bit of footage for people to learn from 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties I do need to reshare for educational purposes. I will speak to the admins to see if they can post it on their information board.
That's wonderful. I'm so happy she has improved like she has. She was lucky she had such a caring and gentle owner. You guys are the best. Your collection of spiders and other species that you have in the beastie room all show this. They are truly loved. Love all your videos as always.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Shame on Madam Singapore Blue for sayin' ' get your dirty hands off me!" LOL You've done a proper job Dr. Dave! Kudos. BTW, I worried about those urticating hairs when you were handling her. Didn't that bother you?
More important things to worry about 😂❤
Old World tarantulas do not HAVE urticating hairs.😊
But BAD venom and nasty attitude.😂
So glad to see, that she bounced back, and is feisty and sort-of angry again!😊🎉
Keep fighting BEAUTIFUL LOVELY GIRL🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am a Hvac tech and have came across many big spiders in crawlspaces and I have no love for them. But that being said I have respect for them and people who love them.
I haven't kept spiders so far, but if I ever do, I have learned so much from your videos! You're my first stop for learning about them, your knowledge is second to none. Well done on doing a fantastic job with this girl and refusing to go with the accepted wisdom of euthanasia.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Seeing health issues in spiders seems to be an invaluable lesson for ppl to understand.🕷👍
Yes 1st love your videos keep up the hard work.
Nice recovery Dave,shes got this.💞🕷️
The life cycle of a parasite is the indicator for checking an animal after treatment.Phorid fly maggots hatch in a 24 hour time period and grow.So the 2-3 days to see resulted are okay.You could have used Neem oil on this check which should cleared everything up.
You are one of the most amazing Spider keepers 🤔🙏
