You know what the funny ironic part of all this is? These creatures (animals, arachnids, bugs, whatever you wanna call them) cannot "Love" you back the way a cat or dog can, or whatever other semi-intelligent animal/pet can. They have no concept of pet-master relationship or whats going on. They simply exist as nature's robots, drones, programed to do what nature programed them to do and nothing more. The only literal thing saving his owner/handler is size. If it wasnt for our size, dammmmnnnnnnnn we would be so dead LOL (anyone play Grounded on xbox or PC? Hahahaha) A snake, a scorpion, a tarantula, funnel web, wolf spider, etc, its like having a shark as a pet (just extreme opposite size but same concept) one does not have a spider as a pet I imagine expecting love and to love, and mourn when the spider dies. If that spider could he'd sooooooo kill this guy so fast and he'd die a gruesome death having his insides liquified while paralyzed and drank out by the spiders tubes between his fangs. Like we talking one of the most horrific deaths possible in life. Our only salvation: size. Just size. Think about that.
The spider's fangs may be strong enough to bite through that, but because of the positioning (directly beneath her) the fangs would be in the wrong position to pierce it; they'd slide off instead.
Ok, i would agree that someone that imprisons another animal could be described as "unlikeable", but calling @Lair of Centipedes a "horrendous beast" is going a bit far. Then again...is it?
@@frazercaun820 that's a good one but... even if it's us who snatch them away from their habitats and imprison them in a tiny cage, I still can't help being repulsed and fascinated at the same time by a huge spider with big fangs standing its ground.
"...the spider was thoroughly pissed off, but what is she going to do about it?" *cue scene from Jumanji where the mosquito starts going through the glass*
I have a wolf spider who’s plenty for me(she’s genuinely a sweetheart) and because of her I made friends with people who have spiders as pets for advice. One guy has the most chill, laid back Brazilian Wandering Spider who’s probably ever lived. His names Stoffel and nothing pissed him off lol the only time he goes absolutely bonkers is when he eats, he basically turns into Goku when his food arrives.
@@BugsandBiology ... She was doing a great impression. Lucky she didnt decide your finger looked more interesting than whatever it is your currently feeding her and decide your her new chew toy. I have taranutas , frogs , lizards , stick insects of various kinds. A large asian forest scorpian who has the same eating manners as ungreatful gready child on chocolate . Thankfully shes not so bad natured. And likes being held. Only time she gets annoyed is when you don't give her attention when she wants it.... Shes worse than my wife. *i didnt say that ok.....shhh*. Yes im a girl married to a girl. Thats a thing now. Well has been for a while. Only now its really legal and noone can bother you about it. Which is reallly good. I also have regular pets like a Panther Chameleon who was a rescue (she was born with only 1 eye and a deformed hind leg. It dosent stop her doing anything. If anything shes more trouble... Lol). I have 2 dogs (1 is service dog other is one in training ) , 4 cats (2 house 2 wild that live in the barn withmy horses and a goat thag just turned up 2yrs ago and never left. Still have no idea where she came from ). 12. Horses (ex reacehorses i rescue and retrain. Some rehome. Most have permenant home here because theyre extra special to me. I used to be a jockey. And a couple are former winners i rode). I have a goat of unknown heritage that just appeared one day 2 yrs ago. I think she had belonged to a former nearby racing stable. And escaped. She found my horses they adopted her without bothering to let me know . so now i have a even funnier looking lawn mower than i had before. I have 10 chickens and a loud mouthed rooster called Ace.

@@memorialled_zeppelin-warew1346 scorpions don't "like to be held" or "want attention", to them you are just a background obstacle that can either be a source of food, a threat or something not even worth spending resources on.
@@BugsandBiology I remember as a child (when living in Sydney) picking up a log and having (I remember as a LARGE) F-W posture up, as a 30-year old I now assume it was defensive, but 5 years old me was sure it was going to try and take a bite... but it's great to see that there are people like yourself shedding a bit of light onto a species mostly seen as terrifying.
Cheers. There's a ton of misinformation about these (and many other animals) all over the internet, so I'm trying to do my part to show that while they certainly deserve respect, they're ultimately not a major threat to people, and would prefer to be left alone. And yeah, I can only imagine what an encounter with a big funnelweb would feel like as a kid. I remember how terrified I was when I first saw a centipede. Now I have a shelf full of them, so go figure...
A minor recommendation that will help her, or any other spiders, be significantly less pissed off about a bath use a fan brush ( I use a size 4 synthetic one used for acrylic paints) for cleaning mites off. It's got a wider area of coverage and acts like a miniature broom. Most retailers carry them as either a singular brush or as part of a cheapish package (or just go to a hobby or craft store and get one for fairly cheap about $4 USD/$5 AUD). I've found that synthetic fibers seem to not piss off arachnids as much as a horsehair or straw YMMV but it works for me. As a side note I also give one to guests who are usually scared of spiders to pet my T. blondi and she loves it. She's never been super aggressive, as she's always liked to to be handled ever since I got her when she was spiderling, but her size is intimidating to most which makes the brush a way of her breaking the ice.
@@ilhammalek5820 Stop with the uninformed fear mongering. Most funnelweb bites are not life threatening, and that is a fact! I'm not saying you shouldn't treat these spiders with a lot of respect, but there's way more things to be afraid of than a spider that quite frankly poses a negligible threat to humans overall, especially since the antivenom was developed.
Bloody Greta haha. Honestly feel like she's turned more people against caring for the environment with her angry rhetoric. Like, I agree with many of her sentiments, but not the way she delivers them.
That is great to hear! If an arachnophobe is able to watch a video of one of the deadliest spiders on earth and find it an enjoyable experience, then I know I've succeeded is presenting them in a non-frightening way. If you're curious to learn more about funnelwebs, I have another video detailing how dangerous they actually are (spoiler - not as much as you think).
I have a fear of spiders that i’m working on, I don’t kill spiders. Normally i can’t watch a full video, but this video was funny, informative, and adorable. I’m glad you take so good care of your spiders.😁
I enjoy watching Spider content, but I still cringe when I see one in person. I don't kill them, but the speed of Huntsman spiders still makes me flinch.
She actually took her sponge bath better than my three year old great grandson🤣. I love her, I think her fiesty self is adorable. I bet you wouldn't do that to my A geniculata🤣. She tries to kill me for just giving her water🤣. Tyfs

"Cleaning my spider whilst roasting her throughout the ordeal." Jokes aside a very fun video. She looks amazing and you surely know how to handle your arachnids!
“When you’re so fat and unathletic”Jesus. The SHADE. But it’s true. They’re kinda hapless at times. Then again she had the right to be pissed. You did kinda ruined her home. The tread mill sections killed me.
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed watching this video of your funnel web spider. I could never keep one or any spider as a pet but kudos to you! You seem to care about your crawly friends and that's what matters.
I expected it to be another misinformed black house spider clip. I am very happy to learn the contrary. Keep up your great work my friend. You are needed now more than ever
At the end of the day, funnelwebs pose very little threat to people. No one's been killed by one since an antivenom was developed, and that was about forty years ago. Even without antivenom, the mortality rate tends to be around 5% or lower if I recall correctly.
She’s just so beautiful. Nice to get to watch her up close, I’m sorry about the mites though. My house cat does the same treadmill on my glass door, so funny.
We use predatory hypoaspis mites to remove parasitic mites. You can find them from a guy on Facebook. $12.50 + post can treat about 40 animals. Can get you more details if you want
I would if mites were a major problem i.e. if a large number of animals I owned had serious infestations, but because it is small scale and only a single animal, I felt a clean and a subsequent rehouse was the best option. Thanks for the info anyway.
imagine being the spider. a person comes in and rips you out of your home, brings you to a place to get cleaned and brushed and then when you are all done you have a brand new home with more stuff in it than your previous one.
@@BugsandBiology I admit IV always been fascinated by them but I'm affected by some atavistic fear inherited from early mammals or something. Theyre frikkin terrifying.
Fear of spiders tends to be culturally inherited, or at least enhanced. Either way, learning about these animals always conquers fear in the end, and the fact you find them interesting is a great start!
@@BugsandBiology I am sorry, your continent would be a vacation spot for a Catachan regiment as it seems like EVERYTHING there is willing kill you and eat you with joy.
That logic is just as bad as saying humans survived so long without medical care so why go to a doctor… he isn’t giving the spider a bath literally, he’s brushing off mites that will kill this spider if he doesn’t. In case you’re unaware there is a reason why captive animals live longer than wild counterparts and that’s because we treat problems that would be fatal in the wild.
@@herrwagnerianer1739 Funnelweb bites don't have necrotic effects. The massive majority of spiders pose a negligible threat to humans. Heck, even funnelwebs are pretty much a non-issue to one's day to day life.
@@BugsandBiology Yeah, where we both are in Brisbane, we are practically surrounded by 4 species of funnelwebs (to the north, south and west) but the vast majority of people that I've spoken to don't even know that they live here
0:47 Little bit of an attitude? You rip apart her home, fail to scoop her up, insult her for some time before she start showing her fangs and then after continued nagging starts to bite. She was pretty docile all things considered!
“which gave the spider plenty of time to run around the plate and show off her crappy climbing skills, or should I say nonexistent climbing skills” That part got me good 😂
4:00 -- _"The spider at this point has gotten very very angry. What an ungrateful twat"_ --- This honestly sounds like a line taken from a monty python sketch.
I'm petrified of spiders. Keep up with your videos and commentary, because although she freaked me out, you made me lol maybe one day I'll get over my fear

Thank you for helping me manage my arachnophobia!
No worries! Always happy to hear my videos are helping people with their fears.
What's the point of loving something that doesn't love you back?
Married men:
"What an ungrateful Twat!" I friggin' lost it when you said that. LMFAO 🕷️
Even though she was in a threat pose. I think deep down she was into the cleaning 😂
Indeed. ❤😊
I expected it to be another misinformed black house spider clip. I am very happy to learn the contrary. Keep up your great work my friend. You are needed now more than ever
"Medically significant spider" lmao
Horrifying
At the end of the day, funnelwebs pose very little threat to people. No one's been killed by one since an antivenom was developed, and that was about forty years ago. Even without antivenom, the mortality rate tends to be around 5% or lower if I recall correctly.
She’s just so beautiful. Nice to get to watch her up close, I’m sorry about the mites though. My house cat does the same treadmill on my glass door, so funny.
We use predatory hypoaspis mites to remove parasitic mites. You can find them from a guy on Facebook. $12.50 + post can treat about 40 animals. Can get you more details if you want
I would if mites were a major problem i.e. if a large number of animals I owned had serious infestations, but because it is small scale and only a single animal, I felt a clean and a subsequent rehouse was the best option. Thanks for the info anyway.
Spiders and LOTR references, I'm so here for it!!
I certainly seem to appeal to a very niche community haha
2:25 BRO GET THE ONE ON HER BACK ffffffff Im havin an anxiety attack fff
imagine being the spider.
a person comes in and rips you out of your home, brings you to a place to get cleaned and brushed and then when you are all done you have a brand new home with more stuff in it than your previous one.
Are those grain mites? Drying out the enclosure temporarily apparently kills them off
Think they are, but funnelwebs cannot tolerate dry conditions so that's really not an option. Substrate change seems to be best in this instance.
She’s a beautiful spider
Yes, a very handsome lass indeed.
Australia, keep your goddamn spiders.
Gladly. I love these guys!
@@BugsandBiology I admit IV always been fascinated by them but I'm affected by some atavistic fear inherited from early mammals or something. Theyre frikkin terrifying.
Fear of spiders tends to be culturally inherited, or at least enhanced. Either way, learning about these animals always conquers fear in the end, and the fact you find them interesting is a great start!
@@BugsandBiology I am sorry, your continent would be a vacation spot for a Catachan regiment as it seems like EVERYTHING there is willing kill you and eat you with joy.
@@Questknight12 We have only a couple of things that want to eat you.
Who tf gives any kind of spider a bath? They survived this long without having to take baths. People are wild
That logic is just as bad as saying humans survived so long without medical care so why go to a doctor… he isn’t giving the spider a bath literally, he’s brushing off mites that will kill this spider if he doesn’t. In case you’re unaware there is a reason why captive animals live longer than wild counterparts and that’s because we treat problems that would be fatal in the wild.
This made me less scared of spiders actually.
Awesome! That's my goal
Do you think the spider gives a f*** when it bites you and your flesh starts rotting?
@@herrwagnerianer1739 still scared of spiders, lad?
@@herrwagnerianer1739 Funnelweb bites don't have necrotic effects. The massive majority of spiders pose a negligible threat to humans. Heck, even funnelwebs are pretty much a non-issue to one's day to day life.
@@BugsandBiology Yeah, where we both are in Brisbane, we are practically surrounded by 4 species of funnelwebs (to the north, south and west) but the vast majority of people that I've spoken to don't even know that they live here
Another youtuber was bragging about how large his funnelwebs were. Yours absolutely crush his
0:47 Little bit of an attitude?
You rip apart her home, fail to scoop her up, insult her for some time before she start showing her fangs and then after continued nagging starts to bite.
She was pretty docile all things considered!
Yes, he called her fat, lazy, and a twat.
She's so too cute to be angry. She angy
“which gave the spider plenty of time to run around the plate and show off her crappy climbing skills, or should I say nonexistent climbing skills”
That part got me good 😂
Always fun to trash talk my funnelwebs!
That’s one angry spider
Hey wait a minute... fool of a Took" didn't Gandalf use that expression with Pippin?! Lol!!
Finally someone gets the LOTR reference!
I caught it too. Now with that said, please tell me you named her Shelob
@@ultilinium8 I named her Ungoliant. So still a Tolkien character.
@@BugsandBiology Nice
@@BugsandBiology that's awesome!
Very pleasant music.
so funny!
Thanks haha. Always try to add some humor in the funnelweb videos; makes them feel less scary to viewers.
4:00 -- _"The spider at this point has gotten very very angry. What an ungrateful twat"_ --- This honestly sounds like a line taken from a monty python sketch.
Hi I’m back
Greetings again
mans spent the whole video roasting his spider
Your a good spider mom ❤️
You just wait until the giant spiders from outer space use their brushes to free us from our dog infestation.
Good she got a new clean home
This video is awesome, lol, and I LOVE your commentary!! 😆
Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Had to watch this again. You're funny.
‘what an ungrateful twat’ that made me laugh 😆
loving the arachnarobics
Enjoyed the sound of his voice in my left ear
I'm petrified of spiders. Keep up with your videos and commentary, because although she freaked me out, you made me lol maybe one day I'll get over my fear
Brave soul, this is the only spider I’m still afraid of
can't wait for the "getting bit by a Sydney funnelweb" video
