Video by Dave's Little Beasties don't forget to subscribe - Be Calm, Be Gentle and Love Your Spider
14:43 gave me such a giggle, just what I need on cold miserable Monday morning 😊
I’ve always had a problem with spiders until I saw these videos, just yours, not anyone else. My attitude changed. I had a spider make a nest in the window of my kitchen. She was there about four months. I loved her like a pet. She even got used to me. This would never have happen pre Beasties. Thank you!
That’s so cool ❤❤❤
@@daveslittlebeasties thank you so much. It totally changed me.
Dave and Camera Lady are really amazing, aren’t they? I’ve had very similar changes to my arachnophobia, and it’s absolutely because of this channel. (I wish they were Stateside so I could run my new outreach program for pet disaster safety with them!)
Their new homes are nice,glad there were no escapes
Hello great video information and rehousing Dave
Thanks moon ❤️👍
Thank you Dave for giving “The Spiderman” a shoutout on this video. I love his channel, and I love your content, too. I hope & pray he stays positive & keeps creating new videos? I really hope he gets inspired to come up with new ideas to bring in more subs and views.
🤔🕷🕸🙏🏻😇🦂😎👍
❤❤❤❤❤
The small ones are very cute. But I love the larger ones solid colors and their shiny legs. Can’t wait to see them getting bigger.
Grow babies grow!!
8:33 Your water bottle sounds like it’s possessed by satan… 😂😂
Good luck with these little guys! 🙏🙏🫰
Wow Dave! What a lovley bunch of little ones! I want you to know that I love Camera Lady's cute little giggle when that one dove into the moss and thought you couldn't see it, but it's big booty was stickin up in the air! It's the little things that make your channel my absolute favorite! Keep up the excellent work👏🥰
Yup, we heard that too, here at home. I only have ONE spider, a Brachypelma emilia sling, soon to be juvie. But my wife is also very interested in the project. The critter is going to have enclosure cleaned out in the new year, with new substrate and all.
❤️❤️❤️❤️😂
I am so sorry your female passed she was a gorgeous spider, got everything crossed that they settle in the tubs better than the pots 🤞 n Dave get yourself some hot honey n lemon n a couple of paracetamol you don't sound your best can hear the croakyness in your voice! Great vid as always Dave Camera Lady. I hope yous feel better soon.
Thank you 🙏 ❤
@@daveslittlebeasties you u need a dwa for these mate
@@ashvanbro9329 No not these 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties are they nasty Dave or ok
Dave loved the longer video. Really look forward to seeing you and camera Lady’s videos each week.
❤❤❤❤
Dave is such a good dude. Giving shout outs to the community and this isn't the first time. Keep up the awesome content and YOUR support, Dave!!
If I got moved to a penthouse with my own pool and garden I'd be a very happy too🤣🤣🤣as always great work camera lady 👍 until next 🥰🥰🥰
Dave, your explainations are really great. You talk through the whole video but its so much interesting stuff! So many people talk in their videos just to say something; after one of your videos I always know a bit more about spiders and their needs. I also enjoy watching you handle those animals with so much care. Sometimes I like to think they somehow know or at least feel that they are in good hands; even if some of them are very fast and dangerous, they all behave very well when you handle them.
I showed some of your videos to my friend who is very scared of spiders and she can watch them without getting spooked too much; that says a lot about your presentation.
That’s awesome thank you 🙏 ❤
22:15 Man, did that fly really pick the wrong room to buzz around in, LOL!
🤣👍
Thanks for sharing. I love these guys.....they are the greatest spiders.....to me anyway.
Good mornig for good content 👍
Camera Lady is an absolute badass... the way she tracks the movement and just anticipates where the lil beasties are gonna run to is amazing.
❤👍
Nice little respite today; thanks.
Thank you so much for your educational videos of trantulas. You are the reason I bought myself trantulas. ❤️❤️
Ts are cool. I have a Brachypelma emilia sling, next time, she molts, she will be a juvie.
❤❤❤
14:53: Which also why, spiders hide behind their knees, when they get scared! It's the cutest thing!😄👍🥰
Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕🕷️ hope you’re having a great day.
I always laugh when you say, when the spiders can’t see you, you can’t see them 😂😂
The spinnerets are really quite large on the funnel web spiders aren’t they!? The wee abdomen are a lovely design on your slings too.
They’re super fast… and you are correct Dave… they aren’t my cup of tea and I don’t like tea 😂 😂
Nevertheless I was glued to my phone screen and your video as normal!
Guess what I’m getting this Friday evening?? I’m gonna be a Tarantula Mummy… to my very own Mexican Red Knee! 😊😊🕷️
Hope you’re better soon Dave 😊
Great video again from The Beastie Room! Looking forward to seeing your next one!
Take care Dave and Camera Lady 😊😊 Have a great week 💙💕🕷️😘xxx
Thats great news looking forward to updates ❤️👍
I am sorry you lost Lady Come and have another go. SHe was terrifying, but lovely.
It's sad that the female died. She was the reason I started following your channel in the first place. I got hooked while waiting for the next gigas-video. Even though I got a spider phobia I enjoy your video. Great job, great channel!
❤️❤️❤️
How funny; I thought I was the only one who started following Dave because of this female funnel web. She intimidated me in the photos, so I had to see who this crazy Brit was… here I am what, two years later, making sure spiders are probably cared for in research settings and sharing the Gospel of Dave far and wide. 😉
Those are some dangerous grapes Mr Dave 🤣
These aren’t bad just be respectful with them ❤
Good luck 🍀👍
great little beasties!
No expense spared...... Okay John Hammond 😁😁😁😁😁
😂😂😂😂
These are my favorite spider. They look fearsome as adults. Kind of goofy as teenagers though.
Gorgeous specimen, fantastic insight, best narration and last but not least incredible camera job!
Thank You so much for sharing Your wisdom and passion when it comes to those incredible creatures! Love! 🥰
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
To be perfectly honest, I think that this is probably the best model when it comes to buying exotic pets. You've got a breeding program combined with the videos that give the buyers a lot of in depth practical advice on how to care for and house the animals, like putting some moss in the container to give them somewhere to run to other than straight back out of the container. If you compare that situation to going to a pet shop and getting almost no advice at all it just makes a lot more sense.
Thanks 🙏 ❤️❤️
Thank you for your videos
Lots of love and respect and greetings from me in Amsterdam the Netherlands
And a hug for the misses
❤❤❤
Awesome video. Take care-Have some tea with lemon. You need Vitamin C.
Sharon from MA in the USA.
❤❤❤
as usual PROFF some great information and help to the hobby. they seem to be very fast movers when they get disturbed . great footage CAMERA LADY, with your hard work. that wee tip with moss when rehousing is so easy but very effective. thanks guys and take care.
Thanks matey ❤️👍
That trick with the moss, worked just like you said it would ! That’s one of the reasons I love watching your videos Dave always entertaining and informative.
Thanks buddy sharing is caring ❤
@@daveslittlebeasties Absolutely
Another nice video, Dave! 💯 Out of all of the wonderful species that you keep, I believe this one is my favorite. Sorry to hear about the loss of your mature female, she was a stunning spider. Best wishes for the mating project moving forward! 👍
I love your videos of the funnel webs, their habits are similar to the Sydney funnel web. I'm sure you will have success, because you're the best.
❤❤❤
The second spider was mooning us! :D
Incredible Dave it appears that the slings are coming along very well!! Nine rehoused and no escapes, I love watching these guys being rehoused they are truly fascinating spiders. Camera lady great footage of these little ones the close ups were fantastic! Great video guys, Dave you do some marvelous things and I really dig the content, I will pop over to Spider man’s channel and check it out many thanks guys!!🕷
Thank you 🙏
Once they are all settled, it would be awesome to see a feeding video! Also I think it’s safe to say the macrothele gigas is all flight with hardly any fight 😆
Tip for high moisture requirement slings: add circa a millimetre of sand at the bottom, then a few springtails and then the substrate! I has done wonders for my little ones for almost two years running now
Well done.
That was actually relaxing to watch. That's quite a statement coming from me! I wish you success with them all. I hope you find a suitable female.
Ah brilliant video Dave, i love those funnel web spiders 🕷, they are truly stunning, unfortunate what happened to the female, maybe it was old age, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.
Cheers mate 👍
Spider-Man 👍
Good stuff guys, a very interesting species! And big up to Spiderman👍
Always amazing videos. Thank you.
Very cool species! I always love your tips, you can tell they come from a lot of personal observation and experience with these guys.
Oh no 😞 so sorry to hear your AF Japanese funnel Web 😢 and some babies too 😢 what a downer, I hope you have more success with them going forward, they are not for me but love following their progress, they are stunning spiders 🖤🖤🖤 thank you for sharing Mr and Mrs Dave and also appreciate your 100% honesty because that's how we learn and educate, I've learned SO MUCH from you guys 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you 🙏 😊
Enjoy the video I can see how the calmness And attitude you have played a big part in handle your spiders Today , And I love the shinyes of this Spider, At 1st I thought it was the color but then you said it was shining, Thank you for the channels🕸🕷🕷🕷💖
Good morning from York, wonderful video again and I just love how you explain every little detail. Not everybody is like that. For you it seems that there is no such thing as stupid questions. I also love it that you spread love everywhere. Have a good day you 2 lovely people 🕷
Thank you ❤❤❤
Very interesting😉👍👍✌️
Amazing again ❤❤❤
The fact that breeding doesn't go well if two of the same species of Japanese funnel web spiders aren't from the same area seems very odd, and very interesting to me. Seems to be an oddity from the animal/insect kingdom! Usually the other way around due to the fact of inbreeding. Awesome little tidbit there!!!
You are the best at this bar none compare for sure. Our 8 legged friends thank you for the compassion and love. Love your videos keep up the hard work.
Thank you so much ❤
In case anyone couldn't find The Spider Man, here's a link to the channel: www.youtube.com/@ahickin/videos
Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤❤
Great vid Dave and fingers crossed they settle in their new homes great work Camera Lady n will check out Spider Man's channel .
Sorry about your female. Another excellent video but every video you do is always an education and enjoyable. Anyone interested in having tarantulas/invertebrates should always check your channel out so see how it’s done
Thank you 🙏 😊
Sorry to hear about your adult female passing on. Hopefully, these large slings will fare better with the new accommodations. And I hope that you get over your runny nose, too ! ;)
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Cheers my friend ❤️👍
How are the Brazilian jewels doing there my favorite. Any chance of some more videos.
It is very nice to see you talk about locality at the start of the video. There are so many Hobbyists that don't care about it at all when it comes to inverts. So thank you for bringing it up.
Dave, I'm not crazy about these spiders. A bit scary looking. But if you like them they must be great spiders.
❤❤❤❤
Of course I will check out Spider-Man, your opinion counts with me. May you both have a wonderful holiday.🕸🕷🕸
Cannot find the site on TH-cam, just get cartoons. Tried a few different spellings, what should I type to find your friend? Thanks
@@jeannettefrye5086 youtube.com/@ahickin that’s the link hun
Thank you Dave and Camera lady, what I love about your channel is how you show natural behavior. One of the most poisonous feared spiders in the world first reaction is to run and hide. I love it
won't lie, I would be intimidated as hell to keep a spider whos venom carrier a reasonable chance of killing me in the event of a bite.
Thank you very much. They are neat spiders but to fast for me.
Very interesting to watch you address this problem.
Get well soon! 🌸🌸🌸
So sorry that you lost her. Was really hoping you could have gotten at least one Sack from her
Stunning species
scary but beautiful
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these localities end up being separate species, since funnel webs have a poor dispersal rate
Sounds like you got abit of a cold mate, hope you are ok.
Great video thanks 🕷 🕸
❤❤❤
Beautiful spiders
Another wonderful video! Thank you so much for the education, Dave. They are beautiful little babies...and deadly...and scary...and...lol!!
I always thought M gigas are all endemic to the same mountain region in Japan. They are all connected. With the exception of only one locality that’s from the same region but the mountain where it is found isn’t connected. It’s a more brighter vibrant variation.
It would appear there are in fact different locals within that range 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties so after a bit of looking into this these. I believe your juvenile M gigas could actually be macrothele hungae which actually reach a larger size than gigas. They were once considered the same species as gigas but reclassified in 2021. True gigas have larger fang proportions . They also have a more stout thicker looking legs and lack the stripe marking on the abdomens.
wow all the spider-keepers on you-tube appear to have 100+ in their collections judging from the number of enclosures seen. How do you even find the time to sleep and eat Dave? What a lot of work! I think I'll stick to having a dog as a pet. Nice video!
Its all in the organisation ❤️👍
This guys love and devotion of Arachnids is breathtaking... Such a misunderstood creature and he loves them... so do i!
Great video as always Dave, I've subbed to The Spider Man as suggested :)
Thank you 🙏 😊
I always enjoy your videos. I will pop over to spider man now 🙂
Awesome video, Dave!
i am PETRIFIED of spiders but enjoy watching your video's. your amazing!!
Wow, thank you!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will vist spiderman 🥰 May have found our way his not doing so well. You put in spiderman and you get Spiderman Tom Hollands cartoon spiderman. Etc but I will keep looking 🤞 updated found him under The spiderman his cool thank for the recommendation🥰
❤❤❤
Awesome!
Dave I’ve been seeing Brazilian Wandering Spiders, you have one?
Very interesting moves. These are beautiful. I do not anticipate spider keeping. However, I do all I can to protect my garden spiders and wolf spiders in my yard.
❤️❤️❤️
What I wonder is how you keep track of all this stuff, what came from where, when they were fed, bred, rehoused, ect.. It must be a mountain of stuff to keep track of.
It’s not so bad really 😂❤
Sorry you lost the adult female. They're beautiful kiddos though.
Right good video uncle dave
Thank you 🙏 😊
Another wonderful lecture from the UoB. :)
What's that??
@@johanneabelsen1644 University of Beasties
@@DoctorPolski 😄👍🎉
Im glad that you got some baby spiders I hope that it works out for you
Davveeeee I’m dying to see someone do the Colombian curtain web, very similar to this specie but not as venomous, scientific name linothele megatheloides or linothele certica not a lot of information about them, and very rare in the hobby
I was surprised how big there spinert s are for the size of them
Yup, fascinating.
Moss trick couldn't have worked out better!
❤️❤️❤️👍
I hope you were not catching anything serious and that you are feeling top notch now. I admire your diligence in the care of your Little Beasties and the amount of information you share with your viewers must be very helpful to them. Until viewing your site I didn’t know that there were funnel web spiders in Japan. I thought they were only in Australia. I learn something new every time. Thanks!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I really loved the longer video, you have so much experience that the hobby needs, new keepers and old I would definitely say your channel suits all sorts! I will definitely pop over to Spider-Man , after all he is one of my favourite superheroes! Thank you for a really great video!
P.S. Have you managed to think about the workings of Patreon? I would really really love to support your channel! Xx
Maybe in the new year 🤔
Thank you for the time and the patience and the effort you have taken to create these very special videos I didn’t realise that spiders were very beautiful but sensitive when I can I will respond to spider man
Please could you put the link to spider man's channel in the video description or pin a comment with it? Also, as much as he may not want to, he might want to change his channel name, he's competing with one of the most popular super heroes for search results :D
Awesome video, I've started to pop a pin hole towards the bottom of the deli tubs, then I can just push a blunt syringe tip in, and get water into the bottom layers that way xx
Great tip!
On my way to Spiderman. Hope things improve for him. Thanks for the interesting rehouse.
Edit: can you give a link for Spiderman? All I see is the cartoon character 😂 Thanks
🎶" Spiderman, Spiderman.
He just opened a tuna can."🎶 😄
There’s links in the comments ❤
You could have linked up that spiderman man you talk about in the end of the video. I think you know what pops up when i type spiderman in the search bar :D
There’s Lind in the comments ❤
Dave that's (thespiderMan)yeah?
