Hahahahah when you said "I'm not quite sure how a pairing video is gonna work with them. Probably in a hazmat suit." I had to rewind several times. You're so funny 😅
😂❤
He’s so funny. 😂
😄
Love Dave's sense of humor!
Dave, your joy at your hobby is boundless. It's like each spider is the first one. It feels just the same for us lucky viewers too. Thank you so much.
The David Attenborough of tarantula TH-cam! 🤙
❤❤❤
Damn right!
Dave, one thing I have noticed about you in all of, or in most of your videos, is that once you have a specimen out in an enclosure that is open to the air, you always have "One" eye on the spider at all times no matter what you are doing. Once and awhile, you give the camera a glance, but overall, you constantly have a watchful eye on the specimen.
Me personally, half a dozen or so times, I've taken my eye off the subject, for only a moment, like 10 seconds.... and that's when the spider knows to make the move. It's especially critical the smaller the spider is.
Always keep an eye on them 😂
Brilliant 👏 thanks pal, a great video i will go back to in a normalisation teaching material for my wee yins in the family, sometimes school ain't the greatest for that....that's all I can get away with saying.
Great stuff these videos...well the terminology does make you sound like a PhD man 😂 Brilliant sounds tricky though.....anyway take a piriton next time for the 🕷 kicks!!
God bless you and your spiders 🕷 🙏 ✝️ 💙🇬🇧Glasgow
Both males are in superbe condition they were very well taken care of..one does look like he went to the salon 😍 all that hair wow .. as always great vid very informative i always learn something new..thanks
I think so too
Absolutely gorgeous gorgeous spiders and huge, I was able to see the emboli very cleand the hooks, Very interesting. Big scary spiders.
I am an arachnophobia but I love watching your videos because you are so caring and loving to your spiders.
❤️❤️❤️
Long sleeved shirt and a pair of latex gloves should see you right Dave, keep them pesky hairs out
8:47: I could never deal with those hairs, as I have a skin condition already, but man... Isn't he handsome...🙆♂️🎉
Who else here don't mind being a few minutes late for work to watch this morning vid? 😅👋
❤❤❤❤😂
I learn so much from you. I didn't know much about males. I've now learned about their boxing gloves, their hooks, their purposes. Also, that some male species may not have hooks. Incredible to learn! Thanks as always.🥰
Maybe get the tyvek sleeves. They come in just sleeves also
Yeah!!!another awesome vid👍❤️❤️
The video gave great info as usual. The video you site “it’s a male thing” results in videos that are not about tarantula beasties. Lol. But the video about how males reproduce is another one of yours with great explanations. Thank you for all you do
The detailed information you provide is critical, especially the smaller parts, all so important to gain a profound knowledge 🙌 that's why we all love Dave and Camera Lady 💜 so grateful for the time and effort you selflessly give us 🙏💜
Thank you 🙏
Two beautiful males, and another excellent video as always Dave !
You've NEVER failed to provide a great video Dave...
Always educational, and 99% of the time you solicit wonderful behaviour from the Beasties, thankyou Mr & Mrs Dave Beastie.
👍😃👍
Thank you 🙏 😊
He sure is a handsome T!!!
I have a huge soft spot for the males… my husband started his love for Tarantulas a year ago and I took to it like a fish to water… now we’re proud peers of about 50 Ts among a few other nifty pets… I currently have a pair of M Balfouris and am hoping for a successful pair to have a communal enclosure! Our Curlys paired successfully so we will have curly babies soon!!!!
We appreciate you Sir as we learn so much from you!!! ❤
Thank you 🙏
@@daveslittlebeasties 💛
Dave saying the male spiders are “thirsty” had me dying lol. Awesome video Dave 🕷👍🏾
Maybe they have secret bar.😉
Absolutely fab video, thanks you
Hi Dave please can you sometime soon give an update on the Balforis you rehoused with Bethanys help. Also lovely boys you got here but maybe wear gloves when cleaning out old spider tanks from the hairier beasts next time.
Greetings and salutations! In the past, you have touched on different aspects of the male t's care. This time though, you really delved into a lot more detail and also the reasoning behind it. I especially found this video very interesting! Thank you so kindly for always keeping your videos informative and entertaining. I do have one small ask...can we see it when you try the hazmat suit? And actually, there is another keeper on TH-cam named Tarantuala Kat. She also really struggles with the hairs. She puts on layers of long sleeves, goggles, a mask and dishwasher gloves. But it is for her best interest that she does it. And we are all used to it.
Best to Mrs Cameralady! Thanks and praise, from a long time viewer of your channel, with love from Peterborough Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dave I came across so many orb weavers on a fence in my valley is there any way I can email you the photos?? Ik you'd love them
On messenger my friend 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties I don't have Facebook anymore I may make one just to send these to u it'd be worth the Hassel of making a new fb lol 😆
😂😂...one big massive ball of fun
Another awesome and educational video!! Thank you Mr and Mrs Dave 🙏🙏🙏 you guys are the best ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
And they are gorgeous 😍
Those males are in wonderful condition,well looked after by the keeper 👍
Love you show 🕸️😁😁
Hello great video information Dave
A very good video as always. The language of explanation is very nice and simple. Both tarantulas are very impressive. Especially the second one. I learned something again :)
Good day to everyone.
How am I watching this at 6:06am with no interest in spiders?
That's how I got suckered in, be careful or you'll end up with a couple at home
❤❤❤❤
I think because Dave is awesome!
@@mfhex1398 that’s how it started for me 😂
Same here. I’d run a mile if I saw one for real but always interested in nature and Dave sure produces a ‘David Attenborough’ film. 😁👍🍀🇨🇮
Mornin dave, just up and you've got a new video, minted 😉, cheers, yeti 🏴
I clicked on this video over a true crime video. That’s how much I love y’all ❤ I might have talked my husband into getting a green bottle blue!!!
This channel never ceases to amaze Dave & Camera Lady!
Really good information for us new T keepers love this channel!! atb.
4:07: Please don't hate the spider, hate the hairs. ♥️
I want to thank you for answering my question. I finally got my first old world last Saturday in a exotic pet shop that actually sell tarantulas. Today I bought 1 Nadu, and 2 aphonoplema today. I'm also figuring out what other tarantula to add I'm not surprised what you have in your collection. To let you know my avic is a confirmed female and she is a very sweet girl. I named her princess peach after after the princess off of the super Mario games.
A male supermodel!!!! 😂 Love it Dave! Great video! So informative!
What happens to the males when they age out from breeding? I hope they get a nice retirement, a little condo in Boca, cigar money, occasional Caribbean cruise....
They have a short life once mature 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties That's so sad. I hope they don't always end up as spider-chow.
@@bettagems9209 Most survive the females and die of old age 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties Thanks, that's good to know.
Hi Dave! I got a giggle this morning, there are two spiders living on my house.. One is dramatic! I blew on it to see if it was Alive and it practically threw itself out of its web onto the ground. I felt bad but I was laughing cuz i did it to the other one and it didnt move at all. lol. have a good day!!
Do you do any selection on which individuals you choose to breed? (except health, it's obvious you do that :) ) Big ones, colourful ones? Do you select on both females and males?
Not really as long as they are healthy and fit
Great video as always Dave & camera Lady! 😃 I have lots of invertebrates but no spiders ....yet!
That last close up of the 2nd male reminded me of a starfish. Such handsome boys you received 💙💙
Thanks Dave for another brilliant video, love and respect 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the videos the best spider content for me personally ! U show true practice
I appreciate that!
Two questions. First, the hairs. Can they come off just by contact with the packing paper, or must they rub the hairs off?
Second, if the hairs were to get on your clothes, will washing be enough to remove them? Bonus question. Do the hairs loose potency after any amount of time?
I would love to know the answers to these questions as well! Also, if you throw a shirt full of hairs in the wash, can they spread to your other clothes? Like underwear for example? 😵💫
They generally have to eject the hairs, never thought of the hairs going through the wash I think it must neutralise them as I have not had problems like that ? and I think they hold their potency if left undisturbed 👍
Nice to retain some knowledge about males
👍
I love your channel. Everything is so professional and high quality. Its like watching nature documentaries about spiders!
Thank you 🙏
👍🥰
I mean, the obvious answer is you run the camera and Camera Lady wrangle the spiders for mating. …😉
😂😂😂👍
The tarantula hobby seems to revolve around the females. A lot of people seem to only want to keep females, I must admit, myself included. I can only suppose it's because the females live longer.
The breeder I picked out refuses to sex his spiders for precisely this reason. 👍
Its Chewbacca! Your right, the 2nd spider is beautiful and looks like a brown teddy bear. Are the tibial hooks hard or soft? I always thought they were like a fishing hook but that one looked like it was covered in hair and they dont hurt the females but I've always thought of them as being hard. Wonderful videos, thank you both very much💙💙💙💙
No there not hard 👍
Nandotripepi...idk how it's spelled, but it sounds so cool lol. I love the scientific names. Taxonomy, binomial nomenclature. I learned that in high school biology. I had an incredible biology and anatomy teacher
Oh blimey, that's a small simple bachelor flat, with a beastie mix floor 😅
Such calm spiders, no boxes of hairy anger unleashed. Great closeups too, thank you Dave and camera lady, for another great informative spider video 😊
Sitting in my in-laws house, no power in Tampa FL. Thankfully my phone is charged and I can distract myself with your videos. My Ts are safe and sound because after much back and forth, they let me bring them 😂
Thats awesome stay safe my friend ❤️👍
Wow both of these chaps are big boys. Was not expecting them to be so large
Great informations. Learn a lot. I understand now why my males living only few mouth.
Go to change my males to small enclosure
Best regards from Portugal
Perfect just woke up .. love these videos
I feel so spoilt this week, 4 videos, I am in seven Heaven and each one so interesting and filled with great information. Thank you Dave and lovely T. One very full and happy camper here.🇦🇺😂😄🌻💗
❤❤❤❤
Hi Dave & Camera lady wot an amazing vidoe as always the pairing vidoes are so amazing to watch
Hi, Dave. I have another topic I'd like your info on. I like my enclosures to be as uniform as possible and Exo Terra has never steered me wrong. I also notice that you use a lot of their enclosures as well. What model/dimension of Exo Terras do you use for terrestrial females? Arboreal females? Males? Juveniles? And then the goliaths? Thanks! Finding your channel has really spiked my interest in keeping spiders so I'm learning everything I can.
I only use 20x20x30, 30x30x45 exos and Komodo for my terrestrial 30x30x30 cubes
@@daveslittlebeasties Awesome! That's what I thought your sizes were. Thanks, again!
Wish i had known the info about not letting much moisture into blaplast tubs . Had to learn the hard way with loads of condensation and trying to dry them out for weeks on end .
Hahaha, how you got told off 🤣
I had a mature male salmon pink that I got given free when I bought someone's collection. He was already mature and I had him for 2 years. Really shocked me. He was big for a male too
Whoa, those critters are HUGE! I could not have an LO, tho, because of the hairs. I call them the Salmon Pink Hair-kicker.😄😖 Impressive animals, none the less...🙆♂️🎉
I meant an LP. 😉
The girls are like"I'm not fat! I just retain water."
Can I ask a genuine question. Is it cruel to keep spiders in such a small enclosure?
Its all explained in the video ?
So glad your happy with them bud, I forgot to say I didn't label them (a little game 😂) the tripepi was never a hair flicker before that last moult he would jump for you and chase you out the enclosure, check the earlier video of him about a year ago and you'll see what I mean he loved showing them fangs off 😂 enjoy my boys and I can't wait to see the progress !!
Thanks again! matey pairing videos to follow 😂👍
Great informative video as always dave and camera lady,have a great day
The second male looks like a model for Head and Shoulders, he is so fluffy, the first one is gorgeous, I don’t want to cause any favouritism! A Bloody brilliant video again, crammed full of information, you two are an amazing couple! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏 ❤️
Thank you very much. I love Harry. lol Have a great night.
Those are two handsome fellas.
Would be interesting to see male getting boxed up for transit as I haven't seen any vids about doing so.
Would be helpful for those with less experience that have had a male mature out & they want to send it off for mating especially over longer distances where it cant be personally handed over.
covering pros cons like getting it in transit box & how to wrap/swaddle it safely, best packaging, best reliable services for shipping live animals, avoiding shipping during colder months etc.
We have done a couple of early videos covering shipping tarantulas check em out 👍
Great info guys. We have a few males moulted out and it’s great for the extra information on them. Quick question, where do you get the Komodo’s we can’t find the 20x20s anywhere all out of stock. In Scotland 😅
I get them from southern Aqautics
The only positive in this ruthless female behavior is better survival for his children. I am so glad you know how and when to save the boy to fight again. Never cease to be amazed by your knowledge and Camera Lady's photography.
Awesome thank you ❤️
Might be a strange question.
If a male tarantula of 1 species is ready to mate and comes across a female tarantula of another species and she's receptive is there a possibility they could mate. So you could have cross breeds like dogs.
I believe in some species with different color forms such as the Brazilian zebra A. Seemanni that has occurred but it's frowned upon to do so because it muddies the bloodlines and confuses people to what locale they have.
This was actually a big problem with the grammostola pulchra Brazilian black. There are two species on either side of the river where they are native that are slightly different but look identical and cannot be crossbred. People in the hobby were confused or got mislabeled species and when they tried to breed it always resulted in death and failure. So it was widely believed this species is hard to produce in captivity when in reality they were unknowingly putting the wrong species together. They are endangered now because of how many years were lost before successful pairings occurred.
Its very unlikely that in the wild different species would not inter breed with each other, in captivity some have been mixed , this should be avoided at every turn and is totally unessary 👍
Love their toes! So cute up close. That first boy is handsome! And hello to Camera Lady! I admire her fortitude to be so close and not panic when one scuttles off!
Do you only own spiders Dave? Or other critters/animals?
I have kept most things in the past 👍❤️
Both a big pair of boys these too are, & what a pair of stunners they are. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
We all enjoyed yet another video. Question the females are bigger? As they usually are, these males are huge. Also Dave wonder why you couldn't wear a long sleeve shirt when handling these hair kickers?
Yes these two are equal size to the females , and a long sleeved shirt 😳 its 80f in there 😂❤️
Two amazing lookin males cant wait to see them struttin their stuff ....
Hello Dave and Camera lady,
In nearly every of your wonderful videos, your microphone is a little bit overloaded.... 😊🙋🏼♂️
I agree, pleeeease lower the input volume of it in the future, its much harder to enjoy the great content with that audio quality.
I’ve never had a problem with it being too loud. But I listen on my phone without earbuds 😊
I`ve never had issues, but everyone is different i suppose.
Because of you sir Dave I bought two Nhandu Tripepii 😂 just in the weekend expo
Thats cool hope you enjoy them ❤️👍
Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕 hope you’re doing well and enjoying your Thursday evening.
You are such a tease Dave 😂 All these pairings, egg sacs etc Your content is never boring 😊
You got two absolute gems out from those containers 🕷️🕷️ It’s such a pity that their lifespan isn’t longer. But he has a job or 3 to do in his short time once he matures!
My friend your just the best... Can't wait for the next video as always 😉
Great job! Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
The only thing I am always thinking, nope I don't yell as that is useless., close that enclosure... just close it... NOW... we can see true the glass... 😂
😂😂😂
Dave, do you have a beautiful tree spider Amazonicus germani (ex. Pseudoclamoris gigas) in your collection??
No I dont , maybe I need one 😂❤️
I think that the first spider was pretty with those leg markings and was disappointed that I didn't hear you say"what a pretty spider". Don't hurt his feelings
Worth a thumbs up for the successful link 👍
Much appreciated!😂😂😂
Ha! 😅 Gotta keep the fellas in line, 'eh, Dave. Good job!
🇺🇸👍😉👌🇺🇸
Wonderfull Video :D
Thank you very much!
Looks as if things are going to be very busy for some time! I dearly hope that you both won’t be forced to endure many, if any, hairy situations with your latest arrivals! They were incredibly impressive to look at- both very handsome examples of their species’! Good luck!
🙏 thank you
Why is being wet so dangerous for many spiders?
The same reason you would not like to live in a wet house it would cause many health issues as time goes bye 👍
They were very well behaviored
What handsome handsome males, both of them. What got me was both of them weren't skinny... to me they looked quite beefy!!! And healthy, too. You filled in a lot of questions about the males. Thank you. Love your videos, mate. You're quite the entertainer! You're a big factor in why your channel is so successful, that might seem obvious but the obvious is a valid reason. Cheers to the misses, too.
Thank you so much we appreciate your support ❤️👍
Wow. These Guys are stunning.
Hey Dave & Camera Lady!
Great video as usual, both males look very good, very healthy looking lads. Very simple but well done enclosures. Looking forward to seeing their babies in the future.
A little suggestion for the future when you`ve got time Dave (i know you`re a very busy guy): So i know you`ve been on Scott`s live several times (believe me, i love them, good laugh for everyone involved), but can we expect a live-stream on your channel in the near or far future Dave?
Great video, AMAZING shots from Camera Lady, and as usual Dave is as good, if not better than Sir David Attenborough with his commentary. I grew up watching his documentaries so that is a high compliment, Dave.
See you Monday mate!
We may do in the future ?
@@daveslittlebeasties Good man, Mr. Beastie.
0:13: The BEST!!😂😀
Those two males are two very handsome spiders. Seeing them in their enclosures makes the itching worth while, IMO anyway lol. Am definitely looking forward to seeing the pairing videos for them
Nightmare fuel
😂😂😂
Hello,
I just started keeping Tarantulas a bit ago and i just cant stop watching your videos. I really like your calm and friendly attitude. Pls keep up the good work on informing people about the little beasties
Awesome, thank you!❤️❤️❤️
It seems all keepers have at least one species who’s hairs they can’t abide! If there was gonna be one in a spider lineup though, though, might well be that hairy bastard, lmao
😂😂😂
