Now I've got visions of Theraphosas sashaying up and down catwalks at fashion shows in Paris! They've definitely got the long legs for it!
Gee they're big Spidey's, juvenile's!!! Juventus my #ss says Mrs Darren, they have a magnificent carapace don't they, mighty Spidey legs too, any prey item really doesn't stand a chance hey.... Truly stunning Dave, true beasties indeed 👍😀👍
I really enjoyed this tutorial on housing and feeding the Theraphosas. Makes you appreciate that for the serious enthusiast the hobby is a never-ending school on what's best for your animals. Loved the tip about "fattening up" the insects before serving them up. Your success proves that "you are what you eat".
❤❤❤❤
I think that's brilliant that even the spiders food, lotus, crickets etc are in turn fed, good quality food. You truly are a perfectionist. My nan used to say, if your going to do something, wether it be a job or a hobby, you do it properly and well or don't bother at all !
I totally agree with her ❤❤❤
👋 Hi, that was an informative and interesting video dear Dave and Sweet Camera Lady! I wish you both a great day and weekend! Greetings to you viewers too! ❤🕷👍Susanne
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I like what Dave is saying about feeding the roaches, it’s so important. Awesome content, just what the tarantula hobby needs for healthy t’s.
❤❤❤
another priceless video PROFF with amazing information for the hobby from the beastie room point of view. great to hear the different husbandry used for each spider and effects. some amazing footage CAMERA LADY. great feeding part of the video. brilliant video many thanks guys and take care
Stirmis are incredibly adorable. Those big carapaces and tiny abdomens. 😂
So interesting!! Hmmmmm.... Your nickname should be Professor T! Good suggestion Marie! I look for videos and watch them over and over. 😊🕸🕷
❤❤❤
Thank you for keeping me company in the ER tonight. Lovely to see this group of sturmis again. They look well. Thank you Dave and Camera Lady for the quality video you produce!
Hope your well ❤❤❤
@@daveslittlebeasties Thank you. I’m not but I will be.
They do have a subtle beauty to them for sure. Definitely much more than just "Big Brown Spiders". Interesting to see that even those kept drier do just as well as the ones kept on more moist sub. You're 100% right that internal hydration is what matters the most during the molts.
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Yes makes me wonder about some of the issues people have about them , I have a T blondi thats kept practically dry all the time and it moults perfectly every time she is adult now and never had any issues with her its been interesting experimenting with them 👍
Camera lady was doing great asking the questions I had. Thanks for an update. 💙
13:50 This boy is funny ---- don't wanna let go the food while turning up his butt to ask you back off!
Mine are mostly nervous upon sudden vibration, but as long as moving them gently with a brush they're well-behaved. To me, the _T. apophysis_ is the most gorgeous among the three "bird-eaters", but of course the _T. blondi_ is the classic one.
Another fantastic video I think these videos will help so many people, talking about the cockroaches 🪳 gut loading is really a great way for your spiders to have lots of nutrients, keeping your own feeders is paramount for the cockroaches and the spiders, thank you for sharing your knowledge! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💕💕💕
You know we love an update and as always great upload Dave, Camera Lady ❤
Your spiders look great, and the information about seating, the crickets or locus the green lettuce is a very smart thing to do so like you said, then the spider gets all of that fresh nutritious stuff thank you Dave and thank you camera lady. Good job.
Should get yourself a rain water tank like most Aussie's have. Surely you have enough rain in England. 😂
Then you wouldn't have to worry about rotating barrels. Great informative video guys. Your channel is one of my favourites!
We are moving house and that is the plan my friend years ago we always used rain water but being in a flat has made it rather difficult 😂😂👍
I really like that camera Lady asks questions because the questions she does ask are usually something im thinking or wondering about so I get several questions answered in a few minutes. Great work guys still ❤in your channel
😊👍
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Another great and informative video about nice-looking spiders. I always enjoy hearing about your experiments!
I’ve been wanting to get one of these and coincidentally I’ve been seeing Theraphosa pics and vids everywhere. Now here you with an amazing video about these spoods. I think the Universe is giving me a sign 😂
Go for it they are very cool spiders 👍
Luvin the update on these beauties its fascinating to see the differences in the way you've kept then and how they are doing , I reckon we should call you Professor with the knowledge you have and the excitement Camera Lady and you have for the hobby .
❤❤❤Always learning ❤❤❤
Absolutely a marvelous video Dave, and camera lady superb footage I loved it!! Thanks so much guys!!🕷
Loving being settled with a bowl of popcorn and watching you two work with your spiders! Life is good.
❤❤❤❤
Agreed that your spiders were so well behaved and didnt bolt for freedom. And with minimal hair kicking.
I enjoy these update and discussion videos. I find them very interesting and informative. I find myself referring to your videos very frequently for questions and concerns. Thank you for ask you do. It surely helps someone like me just getting into the hobby. I excitedly awaited the next update and discussion videos.
❤❤❤❤
Hello Dave and Camera Lady. We have survived our vacation and are back in the 108 F degree weather in Texas. 🥵🥵 It is good to be home to our happy new house 🏡. Now we have to unpack. 😬. You know how much I love the big tarantulas and adding feeding in on top makes this about my favorite kind of video. I would love to have a check up on the biggest that you have. 😊. Such interesting husbandry. Do you think there is a reason behind the one female refusing food. Is she due to moult? Just curious. Well, thank you for the wonderful video. Excellent footage Camera Lady! You guys take care and let us know how the move is coming. Sending supportive and cheerful vibes for the move. Stay safe and take care of each other. See you soon. ♥️♥️💛💛🖤🖤
108F 😳 WOW
Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕🕷️ Hope you’re both doing well.
Fantastic update video Guys! I love the Giant bird eaters. It’s very interesting the way you can keep 4 different spiders 4 different ways and compare them! Great camera work by Camera Lady 🎥
Take care both and have a great weekend 💙💕🕷️🥰xxx
Great video again so informative, you make it fascinating to learn about spider's thanks for sharing 👍
I’m getting a 7 inch female soon ❤ lovely video so far! (Watching 10 seconds after you posted)
Great vid. Thanks Dave & Camera Lady.
I love all your videos Dave! I look forward to them every week❤😊
❤❤❤❤
Fab to see you completely smash all the faf that goes on about keeping Theraphosa, they are stunning specimens, looking forward to getting some Stirmi bambinos from you in the future. Super informative video. I've also raised my own feeders since having my first reptile 26yrs ago, and use them to feed my fish too, I have several roach colonies, morio worms and mealworms, and Pachnoda beetles as the grubs are great for some of my reptiles. Its worth the effort to know I am feeding my animals the best possible diet, and no need to panic about catastrophes that cause issues with distributing live food - Disease outbreaks, Heat waves, pandemics etc etc I also hate crickets and refuses to deal with them lol. Thanks guys x
Love watching all the action from the Beastie room. Am quite new to the hobby (have 5 tarantulas) have learnt so much watching and appreciate the sharing of knowledge and experience. Fantastic channel 👍
Thank you so much my friend ❤👍
This was a very interesting video. You are always interesting to watch and listen to. The stirmi is one of my faves. Thank you.
AWESOME video Dave I love the Goliaths just find them Fascinating the size is impressive I have an Apophysis at the moment thats only palm sized but will soon grow hope its female too my target is to get all the Therophosa species
the big male was doing the happy dance!
by the way, what is the hole in the carapices for? And love what you do, just keep it over there. ;-)
That is what everything is connected to

Absolutely brilliant Dave, those Stirmis are looking fantastic, very interesting and informative, Dave, looking forward to seeing the sub adults, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.
hi dear dave god bless you and camera lady and your beautiful beast's
I love you man 🇬🇧🇮🇷
❤❤❤❤
Excellent video, interesting to get a window in in some f the experiments, haha
Ps. couldn’t help but get a bit paranoid one of the spiders might’ve gone into an adjacent enclosure, if a skittish response was somehow elicited, LOL😂
They are pretty easy to read most of the time and im always watching them 😂👍
@@daveslittlebeasties haha, aye, I’m sure you have a firm feel for it!😅👍
Brilliant. All your videos are compulsive viewing but have to admit, always love to see how the Theraphosa collection is getting along
thanks for the update! they are all looking good.
👋Great video💯👍👍👍👍👍💚
Fascinating video! Looking to get a few Thereposa species this year
They are stunning. I have a T. blondi named MoonPie.
love your videos! cant get enough! ty ty!
A most enjoyable and informative video, Thank you x
Thank you. They are all wonderful looking.
Thank you Dave! Your a real professional 💪 Dave you couldn't count the T video's I've watched on TH-cam! This I can tell you, my mentor, is clearly you. You've got to be the Best ever. You and your T videos stand out above the rest. Thanks again! Just Awesome Spider's
Wow, thanks! we really appreciate your support ❤️👍
Awesome the next David AttenBorough!
😂❤❤
Great video of one of my favorites. Keep it coming Dave. 👌
Hi Dave I really enjoyed this video. Very good information. So the food determine how often they molt. And the room temp is better for them, and slows down their growth. So the molts determine what sex they are. Like the knee cap pattern. The large one was not hungry, but the rest of them were ready to eat.❤🕷🕸Cindy
Great information Dave! Always great videos !
Great vid Dave, thank you!
Hello great video information Dave
Brilliant video guys thank you xxxx
We love your show 😊😊
❤❤❤
😁👋🏼☺️ Dave and Mrs Camera Lady
Aww.They're just awesome.
Yeah, but we can't 'hear' camera lady!
Nicely done again Dave, everything seems to do well in your care.
.
Any chance of a recap on the funnel webs at all? Would love to see how they've come on.
Hoping your move went well? And presumably a new 'beastie room' has been prepared?
Oh, and pertaining to your experiments, what deductions have you gleaned from the variety of moisture and heat theyve been kept in?
Our move is ongoing 😂 we have found that they are very tolerant of many conditions which brings the question to which is best for them again as with many animals the optimum is what we should be striving for 👍
Wow! Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Ive never imagined a spider could have that body shape, I plan to look it up when I'm a bit more awake, but I wonder what the use of the dip like hole is, kind of an interesting flat like doughnut shape. I have to admit I've never been keen on spiders but your lovely calm voice and passion makes it easier to get to learn about them without feeling so.. squeamish (which I know is irrational, I know there it's not their fault for how I am).
Love it just love it
Thanks for the info... clear and informative video as usual... greetings from belgium 😊
Thank you 🙏
Out standing video Dave
9:30 falls off log lol what a brute
And here I was thinking your hissing roaches were pets 😂
very informative. love the videos.
Hi Dave I just been watching your spider videos great to see how you are so calm who is the camera lady do we get to see her
She is very shy 😂👍
These are juveniles? Wow these are big spiders!
Yep some of the largest in the world.
Araignée quelque chose mec.
10:01... I wouldn't doubt they feel sum sort of, euphoria, I've always felt that for sum reason.
\O>
Great information dave, just a question about more moist conditions, do you suffer with fungus gnats or other very tiny things flitting around inside and out especially when the enclosures lights are on? I’ve read that to dry out the substrate but surly that’s not good for humidity liking species ie stirmi ect, I know there no problem for Tarantulas just bloody annoying seeing so many flittering around!
I find with the leaf mulch we Get a short burst in the beginning and then they are gone , the tiny flies I Gert are from the cricket tubs I buy in and these are a pain
@@daveslittlebeasties thank you, I’m now spraying down the sides instead of spraying the substrate after seeing your videos on bio active enclosures and humidity and my humidity loving Ts don’t seem bothered and tbh they seem to prefer a drier floor but still with good humidity so thanks, I’m hoping this will eventually get rid of the pesky little critters
Nice collections.
❤️
Hi Dave. Been watching your vids and I find them really very helpful too. There's this question that I've had in my mind for quite a while. Have you had any experience on any your Ts having a wet moult or their legs were deformed after molting? My P. Metallica more than 2 months ago molted with 1 of its leg curved. Recently it molted again a week or so and now 2 of its legs are curved. What do you think happened here?
This normally happens becouse they have dried out in a bad position too cramped generally but not always ? Wet moults are luckily quit uncommon and not much id known as to why it happens I have only he'd two that I can remember im my collection and both I had for a long time so was completely baffled to understand why ?
@@daveslittlebeasties Thanks for answering my question Dave. It literally bugs me that fossorials can moult without having any defects whatsoever underneath the substrate within that cramped space in there. And my juvenile P. Metallica has this somewhat enough space and it still happened. More power to your channel and keep them informative videos coming. 👍
Hi Dave and camera lady, what is on the male behind his eyes? is it a mite of some kind? apologies if its already been asked
oh disregard, looks like a water droplet from a side-on angle :)
Great vid and update Dave. 😉👍
Thank you 🙏
Great video, was wondering have you ever had any of your roaches escape and, do they smell. I have heard they smell quite bad. X
The bins they are kept in are escape proof and if kept dry they dont smell , regular cleaning helps too 👍
You are pretty Brave Dave lol.... lovely video as always...and wonderful camera lady.
So I have an L.P. hoping it's female, obviously. So had her as a sling, got her last October....with this moly she hasn't eaten yet and get abdomen is small...should I feed her something the size of her abdomen then? This is the first time she has not eaten after a molt, immediately after just about....its been 4 days I believe....need a little advice. Thx
Wouldn’t worry about it. Sometimes they will take up to a month to recover from a molt. Especially the larger they get the longer it takes for them to recover from a molt. Hope that helps.
@@wakingforbacon6439 thx
Depending on size of spider I would not offer food until its starting to move around its enclosure , check you have all your parameters in place sometimes its easy to forget something ❤
Now I’m worried, I’ve been using straight tap water to mist , the waterbowls but I should fill up cup n let it sit out for 24 hours, I’ve gotten mixed answers to water concerns
The first male seemed to rock back and forth while holding his meal. Is that a normal feeding response? Thanks for the videos!! ❤
Yes many spiders do this when eating often laying down web or just keeping the roach from making contact with the floor 👍
Dave, I enjoy watch you videos and have learned so much. I had a question about how to get Western Wolf spider slings out from the mother once the are no longer on her back without upsetting the mother? Thank you in advance and look forward to further videos.
Just collect them up as soon as they start venturing off on their own 👍
Ok, thank you
So roaches I’ve got on dried kibble, oats and slices of different fruit, crickets I use mixed greens, fish flakes and the cricket quencher gel for water needs, that sound ok?
If its working dont change it 👍
Hi dave
Can we get a tour of beastie room 2?!
We will have a whole new Beastie room coming ❤👍
Chlorine doesn’t gas off from water as it’s too heavy. Chloromine will after 24 hours
Its always better to allow the water to stand to release any chemicals within it 👍
5:35 there’s a centipede in the second males enclosure. Will it attract them when they are molting?
Very observant - yes, I see it now 👍
That is one of our native centipedes here in the uk and is of no threat to spider , but very well spotted my friend ❤👍
Hello 1st
I have one that just matured out as a male!
He will still live for another 2 years plus 👍
well crap I was wondering why I haven't seen any videos from ya in a while somehow I got unsubscribed? so had to click on the subscribe button again.
Thank you my friend ❤❤❤
Hi dave Jane woolford here asking I have 2 curly hair spiders 🕷 who will not eat 1 has molted out and the other one has not as yet please could I have some advice thanks great show guys
I would not worry providing they have good abdomens some just ease off on the food and self regulate , always make sure they have water ❤👍
Thanks 😊
So how come a spider can sometimes repair its legs that are damaged but they don't get there hairs back? Is there any explanation on that and sorry if my facts are wrong. I don't own spiders or Insects of any kind just like to learn about things that peak my interest.
It's all regenerated during the molt cycle. Legs regrow in the Coxa curled up like a little spring until they molt and the new leg is released. The hairs regrow on the new abdominal skin so with each molt they will get a fresh set of urticating hairs to use.
The hairs do grow back with each moult ❤👍
I didn't know that once males mature out that's their final molt! I thought they molted just like females
It seems to me that the carapace on that first female that you showed us is extremely large, much more so than the others. Is that just a trick of the camera? Is this usual for this species?
Probably a moult in front of the others
I have tried to raise a couple stirmis with no luck I'm gonna try again thinking I didn't keep them moist enough
They dont need much often they are kept too wet ?👍
Dear Sir! Greetings from Sweden! My name is Thomas Alissavakis and I like your channel. I would like to ask you if you have any European spiders? There are, If I am not misstaken, tarántulas in southern Europe.
Best regards
Thomas
Hi Thomas and welcome to our channel , and no we dont have any at present ❤👍
@@daveslittlebeasties Thank you for your answer. If the opportunity arises will you consider keeping some European spiders? I would also like to take the opportunity to thank you for your enthusiasm. You, and your cameralady , make wonderful videos
Most creatures are extremely good at hiding pain or any disability so how can humans decide whether roaches feel it . even many of our pets will not show pain unless it is severe
Imagine the fuss if you showed a dog killing a rabbit. 😳
Science has shown roaches dont have a nervous system like ours to feel pain where as dogs and rabbits do 👍
Do they have a mouth Dave 😮
Or do the fangs count as sooking all the roach up, i don't see a mouth.....
Ps, ive noticec on this male, it looks like ten legs 🕷 🦵 😳 ....
Thus, the shorter "looking legs" at the front - on the far away side or next side to the fangs - are actually the "pedi palps" 😮😅
So that's what that is !! That's the answer to a question from a previous video......
I'm no real 🤷🏻♀️😲🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Brilliant stuff, Dave 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 camera 📷 lady, gaun yersel 😉😁 you're so brave too ❤
They have a sucking stomach behind the fangs 👍
