I'm quite concerned these days about common sense. Seems that sense is not so common anymore. But a good explanation about humidity is great !
You're the best Dave! I honestly never cared at all for spiders but your videos, your enthusiasm and your knowledge and love for these wee things have converted me!
Years ago, I found spiderlings of Avicularia 'metallica' in French Guyana on a field trip. It was at the roadside. They lived in folded leaves in about 70-80cm height. It was midday and the temperature was around 38°C and there hadn't been any rain for weeks! All juveniles we came across were in perfect condition and health. These spiders really can survive and even thrive in these conditions. In the early morning hours, this must be said, there always was a slight mist/fog around that produced some dew!
That’s all they need 👍
@ 14:00 The one on the side of the enclosure photo bombing the vid.
Gbb:"heat wave? You mean chillll wave?"
😂😂😂
Love how you said that, Its Common Sense Really!!! If only people would use there brain for something else besides a hat rack. Just a little fun have a great day guys and keep safe.
Brilliant video. When it comes to South African spiders I really learnt the hard way. All it takes is to go online & look at their natural habitat. Most (if not all) of these spiders are desert spiders. The Harpactira, Monoceptarus, Harpictarella & Idiothele are perfect petpal spiders who really only need substrate, a water bowl & food. Well said Dave.
I live in Utah- second driest state in the U.S.. Can confirm dry heat is much more comfortable. The humidity in other states makes the heat feel so much hotter.
Agreed!!! I grew up in Wyoming but have had to live in Southern states like Oklahoma and Louisiana and that humidity is MISERABLE. So happy to be up in the PNW now.
If you tell that to somebody from Arizona they'll throw a fit
My Ts are kept in the basement, kept at 72F Year-round, never had issues of them overheating or drying out.
Top up their water dish once a week, rarely if ever overflow it. Once again, never had issues. They're eating, drinking, molting, pooping, etc as they should be.
Hopefully people will stop losing Ts with these tips.
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Very nice bit of info there Dave ......
Someone told me this sometime ago and i still swear by it today....
Do Not give your pet water you would not drink yourself .!
I do not remember who told me that but it was a long time ago and i still swear by it !
Those bioactive enclosures are looking gorgeous.
5:52 I understand that you want to emphasize that high humidity is bad in the heat, but just one technical point: It is difficult to exceed 100% humidity. At 100%, the water vapor starts to condense out of the air and into liquid water (droplets), and it will preferentially condense onto the coolest spot on the surface. (When I say "coolest," I don't mean "cool." 99 degrees is cooler than 100 degrees, but 99 degrees is not cool.)
Yes and this is exactly what happens with plastic tubs often used for spiders , you get the idea 👍
Great video Dave!
Really good information!
Still think you should write a book ;)
Dave's beastie book 📓📓📓
Much love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Looking forward to the next video!
Yes agreed I'm sure it would be a best seller as a lot of people have spiders as pets nowadays
I've got two juvies; 2 grown on slings; and 4 tiny slings. My humidity is 57% and room temp between 24 and 27 in this heat (Yorkshire). I've had three molts in the last week. All I've been doing is making sure the moss is not completely dried out. All mine (touch wood) are doing fine x
You got it Carole 👍👍
@6:20 Dave, as i understand it you can't naturally have over 100% humidity, when the air is at 100% humidity it means is has the maximum amount of water vapor that the atmosphere can hold according to the temp, pressure , elevation that the air in that area is at. The solubility of water vapor in the atmosphere changes and thus the actual amount of water in the atmosphere when an area is at 100% varies. While it is possible to put more water vapor into a contained volume of atmosphere this process isn't natural and the water vapor will almost immediately condense out of the air if the conditions which caused the supersaturation event are lifted.
Yes I agree but what you get in plastic tubs is humidity then condensation soaked substrate and a continuous cycle the point I was trying to make is you can overload it if not careful 😂👍
@@daveslittlebeasties i agree for sure, overwatering almost any non fully aquatic living creature is a bad move. I was just confused what you meant by over 100% humidity. Thank you for addressing my comments so much Sir!
Great information video Dave and never forget cam lady
Oh the spider at 7:50 is absolutely beautiful ❣
Really loving your new sign 😊
Great educational video once again Dave 👌👌👍👍
Are we going to get some footage of that water spider hunting?
I’m working on it 😂👍
I've seen so many Avics and Caribena versicolors living in the equivalent of a walk-in wetroom with next to no ventilation and then inevitably people ask why their slings have died.
Hopefully people watch this vid, perfectly explained in simple terms. You're the best Dave.
Hi Dave and Camera Lady! Again informative. I personally don't have an issue with the heat, but keep an eye on the humidity. Today our humidity is around 78% and the heat outside is about 84°F. I have my incubator's thermostat set at 80°. But the heating pad itself is on one side only. Plus I have a window box fan to help circulate the air. And my T's are doing quite well. Its good though that you presented info on what to do with the heat. Have an awesome week, stay safe. (OH! Lovely, I hear thunder. I love thunderstorms!)🕷🕸
Hi Linda we are having a thunder storm as we speak its lovely ❤️❤️❤️👍
@@daveslittlebeasties fantastic. The air smells so clean afterwards.
We also have an alert for flash floods. I live on steep hill, so no worries there..✌⛈⛈
When you’re busy all of Monday morning and afternoon and you realize you can relax in the evening and watch Dave educate the hell out of you:🙂🙃😀😃😄😁
Really good video Dave! And to be honest, most of it is common sense! But some people don’t have common sense, I see that and I’m only 16, luckily I have common sense.
Yeah it’s been pretty hot here in Canada too, averaging 25-35 degrees Celsius during the day. Sometimes up to 40.
Hey I’ll take that over 8-9 ( sometimes even 10 ) months of raging winter and raging snowstorms where the streets are covered in very thick ice, where you can’t see 2 feet in front of you during a snowstorm and it’s very cold.
Ya that’s Canadian winter for you and it lasts 8-10 months in the part of Canada where I’m at. I much enjoy summer while it lasts.
Anyway good video Dave! I hope you and Camera Lady and the Beasties and THE FISH 👀 are well!
Btw what’s the spider on the far left at 11:52?
Btw it gets -40 here in Canada, sometimes more but very rare
I'm learning a lot. Thanks Dave.
Heatwave. Try being a welder in Australia working in a tin workshop and having to wear head to toe leather beacause you are welding galvinized steel. When your "heatwave" hit I switched from a long sleeved shirt to a t-shirt. Heatwave dealt with.
I don’t envy you my friend this nearly finished me off here 🥴🥴🥴😂😂😂😂👍❤️
Yeah but thats australia, In the UK this kind of heat has been around a relatively short amount of time , last 10-15 years.
and its sporadic too, there was no heatwave last year, in fact when the lockdown started it was the PERFECT summer, warm with a breeze, sun and rain.
even before that the heatwave was only 4 days long.
I live in WV in the U.S. I haven't had any issues this Summer. Our house stays around the low 70's due to our AC. Our spiders are in higher temps in the Winter due to the heat being on then
Same I’m in New Jersey I keep all my Ts in my walk in closet. I Leave my air on in my room on eco so once it hits 69f it shuts off and this is enough to slip through the cracks of the door and keep the closet a good temp. My closet is about 72-75f and maybe 45% humidity. When it gets colder I hang a heat pad floating in there and use it one-three times mostly for the slings and the Ts love it 👌
Good advice, I did notice a bit of condensation on my tub set up a day or 2 ago. I'll be moving mine into something better ventilated next time around!
Wow those enclosures are looking beautiful!! I enjoy learning from you...would love to watch a beastie room tour of all your spiders..great vids TY!!
Maybe one day!
I haven't lost any of my T's but I have been guilty of over watering the enclosures during the heatwave, so thank u for the video Dave 👍
Thank you for this video! I've been very concerned about my new jumping spider as it's been so hot. He's fine and not showing signs of stress, but I'm a bit of a helicopter spood parent 😅
What a stunning room! All those tanks look beautiful together!
i live in australian we get 50 degree days and my spider has been fine
Thanks for the great advice Dave. I just got my first t today which is a juvenile gbb I’m so happy it’s already started webbing up. I don’t know if it’s male or female yet but it’s beautiful. Love the channel keep up the good work
Fun and educational, so cool!
All my tarantulas are slings, some only 1cm, and it’s gone to over 90F in the room where I keep my spiders. I change their water dishes daily and drip water into one corner of their enclosures. They’re all still eating well.
Great advice Dave and the sign is looking great!
Nice tattoo！😂👍
If you start selling shirts i want one.
The front could have your "be calm, be gentle, and love your spiders."
The back could just say "Now then", along with your logo. Lol. Would absolutely buy it.
I live in Chicago. We have a great good of humidity. I have 4 carabena versicolor slings that are doing great. I keep them I. My bathroom. Where I shower. I do the same as Dave. Just drizzles on the side. I’ve had no trouble.
Hello great video information Dave
Can't thank you enough for this video, Dave.
You helped me to understand that I might have been the one that killed my Y. Diversipes, and I thought I kept him on the dry side, but after this video, it looks like the water dish plus overflow it once a week was a bit too much for a sling.
Thanks a lot for all the great info you give to us all the time.
❤️❤️❤️👍
Wow!!!! I really really appreciate this video!!! Being as absolute beginner I've been worried about getting the humidity right and also concerned about the very high temps so this video is a massive help . ... thank you Mr and Mrs Dave 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice, I’m glad I found this channel.
gotta love the beastie room!!
Dave I think that was an excellent video I've been harping and explaining what you just said for years and years to a lot of different breeders in the US here in Massachusetts that struggle day-in-and-day-out with egg Sac failures and deaths with avics. Very nice work on the video. I definitely agree and endorse your video. its by far as being the best explanation to a way of keeping tarantulas happy.
Great info, hope your video reaches those who need these crucial tips so we can save as many beasties as possible xx
Love it Dave, great advice. You'll be pleased to note that we have had successful molts from four of the five slings we picked up! The only one that hasn't yet is the b smithi, but soon I'm hoping! As much as the slings have been helping the arachnophobia, I'm sad to report that surprise spiders still get flung across the room as evidenced by the poor guy that startled me today 😳
Haha and as soon as I said that....the b smithi molted last night!
This was very helpful, thank you!
Brilliant advice Dave. Just wondering what species that big humungous one just left of shot is 😳.
Mine are on my bedroom and no losses yet. I keep Ts & true spiders & mine have even survived a night of 45 degrees in here with no electricity during a blizzard 🥶for my drier species I just overflow the water bowl a bit occasionally
Our summers in Bakersfield California are in the 100s but we all have air conditioning 😊
Another great talk on humidity.
We are still in the first heatwave!
Late to the party here but humidity can also kill humans by not allowing us to sweat (how we humans cool down, great evolutionary trait) for those of us who live in humid areas when you think of how oppressive humidity can be and how it can raise the experienced temperature it's no wonder that it can unintentionally hurt our animals. It's not something we think of readily so while it's in good intentions to want to help your animal you have to sometimes think of the circumstances around it.
Thank you Dave for that very useful information on humidity I can see my mistakes on keeping house spiders
You should always wear blue it brings your eyes.
Hi Dave 👋
Thank you for the information. Have a safe week.
Great info 👍👍
I love your content so much. Not only is it VERY informative but you do it in a way that’s interesting(:
❤️❤️❤️
Where can I find one of those water drippers? @@daveslittlebeasties
I live in a part of Arizona that hits 120+ F. almost every summer. It's absolutely unbearable.
Yesss I’m in Phx and I just leave all my spiders/true and T’s in whatever happens to be going on with my A/C at whatever time of the year and they’ve always been amazing, like I don’t get why you’d want to flood your poor baby’s cage in this weather, we got DRENCHED the last 3 days and now it’s so humid it feels like I’m back in Fl - my plants love it but I hate it; hahaha I mean oml who doesn’t know that’s what happens when you add water to heat, we need more common sense just all around! 😅
How do you deal with that😢😢😢🥵
great video and very helpful info. Ive moved all of my inverts into my shed which I have insulated and boarded out. The conditions in my shed are better than in my house, probably due to no glass.
Great video Dave, and an important one for novice and experienced keeper's alike, having said that, the beastie room looks fantastic 👍and the new beastie sign is a brilliant addition to the room, super job as usual Dave by yourself and camera 📷 lady.
Cheers mate I hope people find it useful ❤️👍
@@daveslittlebeasties I think 🤔 they'll find it very useful Dave.
Hi Dave! I was curious, will you be doing an update on the regalis slings the momma have you guys some time ago? Getting an update on them would be awesome!
As always, great vid, and great info! Thanks!
Yes it’s on its way just filming it 😂👍
Thanks for the info
I'm somewhat surprised Dave hasn't more subscribers !!!
We are working on it only been running for about 14 months its been crazy fun ❤️❤️👍
Great video! Helpful 100% thanks!
Excellent topic and the delivery top notch.
Cheers mate.
very well explained I have here at home 5 small baby spiders.
I'm worried about whether I'm going to be able to get them to live and grow.
I'm coming from Sweden. and in my apartment right now it's 27 c. during the day and 20 in the evenings. in the summer. And now I know exactly how much water they need. Thank you, please.
Another great and informative vid n the Mini Ts were gorgeous .
another great informative video PROFF from your point of view. its great to see other peoples setups and hear their views. it all helps for new people in the hobby. many thanks camera lady. take care and thanks for posting this video
Thanks Graeme,theres more than one way to skin a cat as they say 👍👍👍😂
Very informative video Dave i love it 🤘🙌
Awesome thank you!
Good call Dave, Great video as always thanks!
Some valueable info their Dave
#beastieguru
Thanks buddy
People don't like high humidity in the heeat, and neither do your spiders, I've been told that if you're comfortable so is your spider. Too much water makes it feel muggy. If the spider is in the wild, you won't see it running to a watering hole, it burrows up in it's den. Wishing everyone well wishes for you and your spiders!💖
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Amazing info you give me ,mad to get a spider now, hopefully one day . Thank you very much dave
Best of luck!
Another great and informative video Dave, thanks to both you and Camera Lady 👍
Grest info Dave not just about spiders but humidity in enclosures in general. I dont keep spiders but i keep leaf tail geckos and they take temps from 21/24C in the day to 18/19C at night so in this heat its a wee bit o a struggle. Thankfully i live in Scotland so its not as bad as what you southerners are getting
Hi dave fc from thailand.
That was so interesting to watch you saying that dave awesome
Cheers for the info 👍
Great video, Dave. Provide some Beastie AC and Beastie water.
Very informative as always Dave 👍🏼😁
Thank you Dave!
Very helpful and really Good information mate
Great video Dave some great advice
Very helpful dave! Makes perfect sense! Where did you get that water bottle from??
I can’t remember I’ve had it years 😂😂
Someones been watching the tarantula collectives explanation of how the youtube algorithms work... Ever since i seen it been clicking the link for another video on all my favourite channels...
Great explanation on keeping our spiders happy also. 😁 You would of never of thunk that making sure a living animal has access to water to keep it alive would help 🤣🤣
Great video, as always! I think it will be very useful to a lot of people :)
I found this really informative and helpful. Thanks so much Dave.
Another excellent informative video Dave,love the content,its helping me to become a better spider owner.thankyou.:)
Dave thanks for the video! It was very informative. I keep my Tarantulas in my garage and it’s insulated but it gets 90-93 degrees hot in the summer. I just make sure I give water twice a week and feed once or sometimes twice a week. I do keep one side of the slings enclosure moist and the other side dry. I haven’t lost any yet due to heat. I hope I don’t either. Thanks for everything Dave! Tell camera lady she’s doing an excellent job also. God bless
Superb bit of info, thank you Dave! The new sign looks cracking! 👍
Thanks 👍
You revamped the Beastie Room a bit i see
never a truer word said mate,love the channel keep it up,do you have any australian tarantulas?
No I don’t 😢
@@daveslittlebeasties spewin mate:[
thank you this was very educational
I’ve always kept my avic minatrix enclosure bone dry. And she is 3.5 inches in leg span 😁 Got her about 7 years ago
"naturally nocturnal" this is the first video of yours where I have been able to see 2 of your arachnids just sitting in the open, bottom right tank in the video and top middle tank in the video.
There often out in the day
@@daveslittlebeasties Cool!, Does that mean you dont have to go looking for them as much as the others?
Ive recently started watching youre channel and love it, im seriously thinking about keeping a spider but im just unsure what to get, what would you recommend as a beginner spider, thanks
I would look at the Brachypelma family lots to choose from and hardy and docile
@@daveslittlebeasties thanks for the reply i'll look into them
Gonna do a new tour of the room
It sounds like you spend a lot of time each day taking care of your beasties. About how many hours per day or week do you spend doing the normal routine of feeding, watering, and cleaning for your critters?
Maybe an hour a day on basic maintenance 👍
Good afternoon Dave! Great content as usual ;) Is there anything besides GBBs that you keep bone dry? how about slings? I tend to keep some type of moisture with all of my slings and most of my adults. I also keep good ventilation.
I keep my Golden Blue Legged Baboons dry from slings and they thrive but my adult I moisten down once a week
