Beautiful T's Alex!!!! Tyfs God bless you
I have to agree with your observations. B. hamorii is the perfect display species. I own a 10+ year old female and she is a treat to look at and feed. My collection is tiny (4 Ts due to space constraints), but B. hamorii was one I NEEDED to own. You mention Raiders of the Lost Ark (very good scene btw), but to me the movie connection with B. hamorii is Kiss of The Tarantula, a little-known horror gem from 1975. Particularly the Drive-In scene. If you've seen the film, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
I should have subscribed to your channel long ago, the content is really, really good.
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
I want one of these guys so bad.
Greg is awesome! 😍 The B. hamorii is an incredible T. ❤️ One of my favourite as well. 😍
Thank you and yes Greg is a great guy. :)
Hey so what I thought I bought yesterday was a B Smithi, is in fact B. Hamoril? What's the difference? So far only thing I can see is the coloration seems slightly duller compared to Smithi (but tbh it could be getting ready to molt idk yet)?
Amazing video!! Love Brachypelma Hamorii, defo one of my favourite sp! So happy the stickers arrived! Thankyou for shouting out my channel, our tarantula tuber Saturday night Takeaway live streams and my balfouri communal club Facebook group! You are amazing Alex ☺️💜🤘🏼
You're welcome Amy. Thank you for the stickers!
My first tarantula is my brachypelma hamorii he is roughly a year old maybe 2 as they are slow growers but i adore him, as he is growing he is calming down and just a magnificent specimen to watch grow into their vibrant colors
Im totally with you about the anatomical skulls
good job on your videos
Thank you!
Such a beauty, I love Mexican tarantulas they’re easy to look after and have pretty colours 🤩
Same
Thanks 🥰
love the mention of how you were left at the pet store so your mother could shop. I had the same thing happen with me! Everytime we went to the mall, I was dropped off at the pet store. Though I was never allowed to have anything but fish. I too saw the red knee tarantulas they had when I was young in the round glass goldfish bowls .
Great video as always
Just picked up my own B. hamorii as a freebie when I purchased an A. purpurea and named (him) Salem!
I celebrate Halloween starting in July! Pfff The end of Sept?! lol
I have a B.Hamorii and a B.Emila both beautiful Ts
My first T is a B hamorii. Her name is Itsy Bitsy and I love her dearly. A very SWEET spider!!!
My first T was also a B.hamorii!! Her name is Dora
Wonder if my Fear Not Smithi is related to yours...
Amazing.
Thank you!
Bless your dad for asking if you wanted it, though. My mom wasn't okay with anything that crawled or slithered when I was growing up. I made up for a lot of that when I got out on my own, though.
My first tarantula was a Grammostola rosea but i searched for a long time to find my Brachypelma hamorii it's a favorite in my small collection
Donnie Hastings definitely a must have in my opinion. 🤓👍🏼
How many tarantulas do you have in your collection? 🤗
I have 5 at the moment
i lived in colima,comala for a few years when i was younger my step dad was from there.
Gorgeous shots of your hamorii! Awesome video 😃
Thank you!
im hoping for a pumpkin patch soon
Great video! I really like them. You always have great intros. Keep it up!
Ha! Thanks. XD
Thanks for uploading Alex, much appreciated!!
thank you for watching! Glad you enjoy them. :)
The room looks great Alex ! Love your videos dude !
Thank you so much!
Hey Alex! I love this idea! Definitely halloween is a great month for tarantula showcase. I wish we had at least plastic skulls over here. Stay safe and thanks for another wonderful video :)
Thanks. I was trying to think of what to do for the month and I figured I could do that. Not an original idea, I've seen other TH-camrs do it in the past but it's a good way to showcase some species and we don't all have the same tarantulas. :)
Great video. May I ask where you got the skull from?
Love the video man the brachypelma hamorii is also one of my favorite tarantulas a little jealous about that brachypelma smithi been wanting one of those for a long time but I've always enjoyed every one of your videos keep it up man been following you from day one
Thank you. B. smithi were a little hard to find for a while but in recent Mexican imports I've seen them pop up more often. This one I got from Fear Not Tarantulas during one of the mystery box events. They had them on their site for a little while as did Micro Wilderness. Just keep an eye out because they get Mexican imports periodically and they'll have them. They weren't as expensive as I thought they would be. I think around $60 for sling.
@@TarantulaHaven thank you i will i have been trying to get to your status lol on youtube but no luck 😂😂 keep up all the hard work
Nice video! I have a B. harmorii sling. It is still sooo tiny. I hope it's a female 😅
Hey can you make a sling care video?...I just got a New Mexican fire leg sling...I could use some tips
I have a g Pulchra and the skull that he held up in the beginning is in its enclosure. I have the same one lol
Got mine as a smithi, it's around the same size as your sling sooo... i wont know for sure till its grown up.
For the 'Love cats' (which I also love!) you could replace the glass/plastic in the frame with a matte finish acrylic/perspex sheet, no more glare! Ooh, and you could sculpt a skull!
True! I'll look into that. :)
Omg, perfect timing! I’ve been wanting one of these!!! I can’t find one 💕
If you are in the USA, try Jamie's Tarantulas, that is where I got my sling and they still have slings last I checked. Fear Not Tarantulas also have some coming in, you can sign up for an email alert for when they are ready to ship the slings.
mariaVTCgirl thank you so much!!
@@Lovepeaceandchickengrease You're welcome!
@@mariaVTCgirl they are wonderful. Yes, keep your eye out. Feat Not gets them in and Micro Wilderness has been getting quite a few Mexican imports as well. :)
My first tarantula I bought was a B. hamorii sling from Jamie's Tarantulas. Love the little (hopefully) girl, loves to burrow, and kicked off my new addiction. Now up to 7 slings in less than 2 months, just waiting for them to grow up lol.
Yeah sometimes the waiting is difficult. They'll grow before you know it. You'll get used to the routine of feeding them and watching them and with every molt you'll see a little bit more color and a little bit more development. Next thing you know you have some cool looking juveniles and subadults. :)
Great video! I don't know why but I still only have 1 Brachypelma in my collection (B albiceps) . I think it's time to add more.
I love my Brachys! I don't have an albiceps yet. I do plan on getting B. albiceps, and B. klaasi. :)
Amazing shots of your T! I wanna make 11:37 my wallpaper!
Thanks! Yeah, that's what I used for my thumbnail! :)
My B. annitha/smithi acts more like an old world most days. :D
That's good! My little one is pretty feisty but my B. hamorii acted that way at first too. Now they just chill. :)
Oohhh, same with my B. auratum! Would never try to handle her 😅
@@TarantulaHaven Something to look forward to, hopefully. :D She is my first T and I realy would like to handle her oneday.
LOL LOL LOL I have a B Hamorii and he is a WITCH with a capital B !!! Feed her she attacks her food while kicking hair, change her water dish and she turns around points her butt at me and kicks hairs, walk over to the shelf she is on, to check any one of the other T's I own and she kicks hairs, look in her enclosure through the glass and she kicks hairs. She also is medium quick to throw up threat postures at me to the point that she literally topples over on her back!!!! Yup he is a WITCH with a capital B. Not at all friendly, slow or docile
Support from Philippines.😊
Kuys Mark TV hello to the Philippines! 🤓👍🏼
What enclosure do you keep them in? Is there a link to it online?
I have just got my first 4 T’s wanted a B. Hamorii, but the wife doesn’t particularly like the colours on them so I ended up with a juvenile N. Chromatus & 3 slings Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens, L. Parahybana & D. Pentalore. I think I’ll sneak a Hamorii in on my next order 🤣
All cool species but I would take a B. hamorii over a N. chromatus anyday! Mine is a psycho! She's last one shooting out of the wood hide at the end of my intro! I have to watch my fingers with mine! XD
Tarantula Haven my N. Chromatus is about 5cm and haven’t seen him/her since it went into its enclosure. It’s just hidden in its cork bark hide since. Did eat but I had to put the mealworm under the hide it wouldn’t come out for the mealworm 🤣
Great video. Although I do have a question. I have an adult B Smithi ex anisha. I've had it since March. It's only eaten once since then. The abdomen is half bald and a decent size. But it's abdomen has not darkened. Is this normal before a molt? I noticed you said your hamori does this a couple of months before it's molt or longer. But it's been 6 months. Everything else seems normal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ed.
Since it is an adult, 6 months without eating is pretty much normal. If they eat the point that they are full, they will begin to fast and refuse food prior to their molt. The fact that her abdomen is bald is also a good indicator. Sometimes they will kick hairs prior to their molt but the abdomen will still be pink until they are within a few weeks of molting. After that you will notice it darken until it goes completely black. By then she should be ready to molt within the next few days. So yeah, this is normal for this species. I have two G. porteri that refused food for over a year before they finally molted and started accepting food again.
@@TarantulaHaven Thanks brother appreciate the info. I can breath easier now. I also have a B auratum and a T vagans. Both doing great. Can you tell what nationality I am also. Lol. Thanks again brother.
As my first tarantula, the Brachypelma hamorii definitely holds a special place for me. Quite stressful at first due to her coming in pre-molt, so for a new owner it not eating for 2 months took some getting used to, but now she's a proper mean, eating machine, who I am probably guilty of spoiling slightly more than some of my others at time! 😄
Rik Robinson awesome! Yeah those fasts they go through can be agonizing to a new T owner. Once you know what to expect, they’re so easy. 🤓👍🏼
Spider at 0:16?
giannetto1000 Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (Green Bottle Blue)
Wish someone would donate me some tarantulas lol
1st
Ummm come again? "Chew a hole through thin screen"???😬
I wanna add hapalopus sp. colombia large, ephebopus rufescens and ephebopus murinus for 🎃👻🍬 Halloween to my collection 🥳
bitey_critters_ TM all wonderful. I personally don’t own an E. rufescens. 🤓👍🏼
@@TarantulaHaven damn :/ wish I could send you a sling from Europe 😕 can I ? Or will the sling not survive?
