    You really have to know your spiders and have confidence in what you're doing, to reach into a funnel web enclosure! Much respect to you, Dave! Another fun and fascinating visit to the Beastie Room! 🕷👀👍

      Dave's demonstration that spiders bite humans either out of fear and self preservation or just a feeding response, usually though it's cos we just mess with them, they're a safer bet to be around than a sickening percentage of humans who attack for the love of it... I was terrified of spideys, the Beastie Room and a Croatian dude have helped me see they're not terrifying, highly misunderstood, but not out to get us...!! 😃👍

    Hey Dave,I'm sure you've heard this before. I'm extremely arachnophobic but at the same time fascinated by spiders. I often try to watch spider videos to overcome my fear but my anxiety always overwhelmes me. Your calming and very knowledgeable tone goes a long way towards easing that anxiety to the point where I can watch just fine and become a bit more enlightened about my nemesis. Well done my man!

  • @krizzy273
    @krizzy273 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Disappointed for you Dave and Cameralady, but you are charting the way to learning so much more about these spiders. Just achieving the egg sac in the first place is amazing, and I am sure you will crack this in the near future.

  • @tagesvaterpatrick8780
    @tagesvaterpatrick8780 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It nearly broke my heart to see you being so disappointed, Dave. And I may have been as excited as You were, but I understand the difficulty of a successful breeding now, so thank You once again for sharing Your hobby with us. Fingers crossed for the next time.

  • @julierobertson148
    @julierobertson148 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I like the way you use even "failures" to learn more about the spider. Notes about how and where she does her webbing, the construction of the tunnels and adding water to the enclosure maybe weren't part of the original activity's intent but you learned more about this particular spider and added to your knowledge of the species. Time for another go around.

  • @trishmccarthydavis3425
    @trishmccarthydavis3425 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    My heart was in my throat as you were pulling the webbing apart, I was sure she would run out and up the tongs. I felt your disappointment. I love that you loe your bitey things so much, some of them are pretty scary. Great video Dave and video Queen!!!

    We all had high hopes, sir. You are not alone in mourning this lost opportunity. Next time you will pull the sack earlier, won't you? Live and learn and we are learning right along with you.

  • @andycampbell6032
    @andycampbell6032 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The male spider probably asked her where she wants to eat, 57 times, and she couldn't make up her mind so she just decided to stay home and eat.

  • @jamiemiller7316
    @jamiemiller7316 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Ok, I have been waiting for this video for months!!! Her pairing was the very first of your videos I had ever seen, the first spider video ever, actually, and it absolutely changed my view of spiders. I used to be repulsed and terrified of spiders but I now appreciate how beautiful and complex they are and have become an huge fan of you and camera lady. Anyway, story time is over, good luck, I hope this goes well. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. Edit: Well I watched the video, and I am so sorry. If it helps I was heartbroken right along with you. The up side is you learned things nobody knew, and you can always try again.

    • @daveslittlebeasties
      @daveslittlebeasties  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh what a disappointment for you Dave but I guess that you will have better luck after next pairing with that spider and it would be very nice if you could have the success of breeding that spider specie for the first time in captivity! Thank you Dave and sweet Camera Lady for yet another interesting video and I wish you both a great day, end of the week as well as wonderful weekend! Hugs ❤🥰🤗, Susanne.

    She's positively gorgeous 🥰 sad that she ate the sac. I like the way you put her stuff back by hand, that just proves that spiders aren't out to get you cause she could've tagged you if she wanted to. I used to have Arachnophobia, but after watching videos like this has gotten me over it.

  • @ozbubbles1
    @ozbubbles1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I'm so sorry Dave for your disappointment and lovely camera lady. Living on the east coast of Australia I sadly cannot share your enthusiasm. There have been too many fatalities from these highly aggressive and highly venomous arachnids. Did you know they have been found numerous times curled up in the bottom of swimming pools where they have bitten unsuspecting swimmers🤔. Nope they would not survive around me, but I do remember "to be calm, be gentle and love my spiders" well I try but we also have Huntsman bigger than your hands 🕷🕸🕷🕸🇦🇺🇬🇧

    • @daveslittlebeasties

    I thought at first the female was gone, as in didn’t make it. I was kinda relieved when I saw she was okay, then horrified she ate her egg sack. I am still a recovering arachnophobe and while I find your videos very interesting, I sit as one watching a scary movie. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve jumped watching pairings and such. I try to stay calm, lol, but I’ll have to leave that up to you and camera lady.
