Thanks guys for your vids, as a new keeper I have watched and watched. It was after watching this one again and again that gave me the confidence to order my first pokie. My P. regalis sling arrived today. It was a little fiesty on opening the pot and decided to do a lap outside the new enclosure. I had my catch pot ready, had a clear plan and it went very well! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
It doesn't matter what species you rehouse you make it look so easy. I just how much I've learnt from your videos, made my rehouse of my P. irminia go so well.
This is what makes me happy👍 so glad there was some useful tips to help and that your own rehouse went so well , we can all learn from each other and thanks for your support I really do appreciate it.👍
Absolute favourite T. She is just stunning. The crisp black and whites are so striking!! That was a master class in how to rehouse a poke. That spider was relaxed the entire way through
Another helpful video, as soon as I get the notification on Thursday mornings, I watch , even if I'm trying to get ready for work! 😂 Rewatching now and looking forward to the next 👍
I got a P regalis at a local reptile expo about two weeks ago. I got an awesome deal on it. It was 30 American dollars for about a 1.5 inch sling. I think the regalis is one of the most underrated tarantulas. Everyone always looks at the metalica and I think it detracts their attention from the other beautiful pokies
I'm a beginner in the hobby...only about a year...and the P. Regalis was one of the first T's I adopted. I HAD to have one! They're so absolutely stunning and I can't wait for it to molt into it's color changes. The P.R was my first Old World species also. It's VERY shy and rarely comes out form behind its tree bark. But the tell tale poo is there on the front wall of the enclosure haha :) I love all of my spiders, but my P. Regalis is my #2 favorite!
I got my P. Regalis on September 11th at 2 inches. It molted on November 2nd and then on December 15th. On February 18th it molted again into a 6 inch mature male. Temps were around 82 degrees. That’s some fast growth.
Yep, I'm getting one. I'd call myself an intermediate keeper - quite sometime ago I kept Emperor scorpions, terrestrial Ts and a couple of giant centipedes. Got back into the hobby recently and have 5 new world terrestrials and one giant praying mantis. I've always admired the P. regalis, so it's time to step up into my first old world
I would recommend M. balfouri as a first old world. Even a small communal. They are pretty damn reluctant to bite and so beautiful. Of my four M. balfouri there is almost always at least one out on display and the blue legs are just stunning. But if you really admire regalis go for it! My first old world was an OBT and that went great. So if you feel ready then you 100% should. Just be aware that the speed of them is insane! But if you have kept fast arboreal new worlds like Tapinauchenius or Psalmopoeus (some of my fav genus') you will be juuuust fiiiine.
Had my regalis for about a week now, 3" female. A bit of slight anxiety before the rehousing but she was super calm during the whole procedure. Originally wanted an H. pulchripes, but none available at the time. Can also pick up an M. balfouri juvenile female from the local supplier here which I still might do
3:37: I know a gal, who has begun making real little clay water dishes with tiny patterns on them, for tarantulas! I am sure, that they would look great in your enclosures!
I totally agree Dave tube cork bark I dont like either. I use normal corl bark for all my aboreal's.i still get to see them my h mac is usually out when I get up for work.great video as always mate.
Fantastic video as always, you deserve so much more subscribers Seeing your room always makes me so jealous If I had a room like yours I would keep my spiders in almost the same way (I would give them a wet drainage layer because I hate misting, use fresh leaf litter because I love watching it decay and I keep my water dishes on the substrate because of overflowing and springtails)
Ahh, i love those. I have an arboreal tank ready, just have to get a Poecilotheria. I like them very much, especially P subfusca and P rufilata. P ornata us great too! Soooo little money, sooo much great spiders!
This species, like the entire genus, doesn't deserve the hate and fear it gets: I don't feel like they are aggressive at all and just really skittish. They get scared easily and can bolt, that for sure, but they are not as prone to biting as some people suggest and, if you move carefuly and slowly, they will usually stay calm
That’s good 💡 idea that’s what happened my Avicularia Meranae - Formerly Avicularia Sp. Tarapoto died recently she moulted but she’s stuck inside the tube bark🕷thank you Dave🤙🏼
that is one of the first things i noticed when i saw your vids all your inclosure walls are really clean . makes me a little crazy when i see some of my fav critter youtuber's dirty glass or the top with so much dust you can whrite a letter on it specially when they don"t take them out often . my hands itch lol to go there and just wipe them all with my 360 swiffer duster ... anyway great vid as always i have learnd a new thing again . thanks from newly subscribed from montreal canada
Thanks for your support jojo, and Montreal I don't think we have anyone from Montreal although I think we have a couple from Canada its amazing to think we are all over the globe sharing with like minded people, you keep that 360 swiffer active and your glass clean my friend 😂👍❤️
Thanks for the great info Dave! I'm getting my first regalis in a week. Along with 19 more slings of various species. They are such a beautiful species. I'm so excited to watch it grow. Hopefully it turns out to be female. I'm also pairing my Latrodectus hesperus (Western Black Widow) in a few weeks but I'm having a hard time finding any information on breeding L. hesperus. Have you ever had them in the Beastie Room? Or do you have recommendations on where to learn more? I have read everything I can find on Arachnoboards and want to have my game plan as detailed as possible.
I understand your points but I prefer big bark tubes anyway. There is no need to see your spider all the time. I think its more natural. And at night they are oftentimes hanging outside their shelters especially when they are hungry. But your "method" (cork bark wall) has some advantage too as u said. Only thing I would propably doing differently is that I would give that regalis longer cork bark. Especially pokies tend to stretch they feet on the wood.
You can tell when someone has skill and experience by how smoothly and easily they are able to do their craft. Have you had any problems with the mesh tops and any critters getting their tarsi stuck? I've seen it happen (long time ago) with a terrestrial... and it wasn't good. Looked like a scene from CliffHanger, but it wasn't Stallone hanging there. Not sure with the exoterra mesh. But would prefer not to be replacing meshes with acrylic if I don't need to.
I have not had any problems with any of the arboreal spiders but terrestrial spiders are generally heavier and not really designed to climb , I like the mesh it helps me control the environment better 👍
I like both for arboreals. A con with tubes is like you say, you have a hard time seeing them. A huge pro with tubes is that when you rehouse a pokie or other defenssive tarantula or one wuth strong venom is that it stays put ubside the tube, and you can just pick up the tube wuth tge spider inside and place it in the new enclosure
@@daveslittlebeasties yes, but it keeps chances for escaping pokies or bites decreasing. Especially for newbees and people that is not as experienced in rehousing tarantulas as you and me. Transferring a corcbarktube with a large pokie securly inside is more easy and far less nervrecking and daunting than transferring a pokie on a corkbarkslab or scoop one up from the tank for these people i can amagine?
Now that is one gorgeous spider. I think they are even more attractive than the Gooty Sapphire myself. Lot of blue colors in many T species and one has to wonder why. Maybe at night they're less visible? Anyway, nice capture there Dave.
Mainly through my locale reptile shops and shows , if I see a good piece I buy it even if I don't need it right now , and im glad your enjoying the videos mate.👍
Love the videos Dave just a quick few questions do you ever use spring tails and the other one is do you find providing a hide and less substrate for your chilobrachys easier to maintain and to keep an eye on because I was considering doing a similar thing because I never no what mine is doing
Spring tails I don't bother with per se , if they are there I don't worry about them but I do think there over rated and don't really do what everyone said , I logical terms it would take literaly millions to clear a cricket😂😂, as for the substrate depth I have found when provided with a deep sub they normally kick it all out, so I tend to use good piece of bark half buried and find they soon become confident and there is no need for over deep substrate, the most important thing is that your spider is confident to sit outside its burrow .
The only tarantula I own is a rose hair but I've been looking at getting one that's tougher to own and more exciting. I've been looking at a Poki or Theraphosa of some sort. I am fairly confident that I would be able to own one after watching all the techniques you use to contain and relocate the Tarantulas and learning about their enclosures and living conditions. Do you think these two are an okay idea? I figured as long as I remain calm and confident I wouldn't run into too many issues, though I could see how this might be a bit of an overconfident idea on my part.
I dont think the spiders are the issue per se, if your confident in what you do you should be fine do your research first and get prepared before you purchase 👍
Hi Dave! I have recently found your channel and i like it i subscribed right away! I have one question, I like your exo terra terrariums for arboreal, I would like to use those myself, but what do you do about ventilation? Everyone talks about cross-ventilation, especially for arboreals, but I dont see that on your tanks and still you seem to manage without? Is it ok with only top ventilation or do you get ventilation from that metal piece under the doors? Is cross-ventilation preferred but not mandatory? Thank you for doing what you do!
There is ventilation und the door on the exo, cross ventilation is a sticky subject I dont think its necessary if all the other rules are followed like humidity and temps ? becouse if you get hem wrong then often ventilation will help , its more about getting it all right and not just one aspect 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties Alright thats good to know! Thank you for the reply and for your videos and for teaching us how to take care of these little beasties! Also i think its great that you answer fans/followers. Have a good day!
Hey Dave, quick question if you get a minute. How do you clean out the water bowls if the spider drops a bolus in it, or poops? I was using the little removable gecko cups, but I don't like how unnatural they look, and the spiders often use them for web anchors, which makes they unusable.
Do you use a specific type of glue gun glue stick? I'm weary of using my glue gun as I don't have a clue if it might be poisonous or toxic for a tarantula.
Hi Dave, just got my own P. regalis as a birthday present, only tiny at the moment but i'm planning to make the enclosure it will go into, what are the dimensions of the one you rehoused it from? Also, will you be rehousing your from the exo-terra or will that be its permanent home? keep up the good work.
Hi there, that will be its permanent home, I find keeping them in small enclosures from slings as they grow just put them in something a little bigger each time , the tank she came out of was 16x16x21
@@daveslittlebeasties perfect, my wallet thanks you. Would you still use a 20x20x30 for an Ornata or a Rufiliata? Also, great tip for touching the back legs with the brush, I was touching the abdomen and it was causing them to bolt, just had the easiest rehouse of my cambridgei that ive ever had because of it.
@@beani5003 I have both those species in these tanks and only move them up to larger tanks when breeding as the males like a little more space, glad to hear your rehouse went well and the video helped you out.👍
I really wanna own some tarantulas Dave but I live in newfoundland Canada are summers are nice but are winters are harsh any advice on location to keep them upstairs or in my rec room (basement area)
Ive had my poecilotheria regalis for 5 months from sling as a newcomer and not seen any aggression or defensive postures. Its always out on the glass. Is it right that they dont eat for 2 week before molt? Mine eats like a pig for 3 week then doesmt eat for so many days until molt.
Cheers Dave I replicated your aboreal setup with the regalis it looks stunning ‘ I now own p regalis ‘ an obt and a giant white knee ‘ all bought in the past two weeks ‘ after watching your channel lol ‘ which is very informative and well presented.👍
Way you deal with each old world is amazing! Hardly ever see a threat posture and the t remains calm, amazing !
They respect calm handling 👍
I love the respect he shows to the spider ❤️
Everything you explain always makes sense. I like that you simplify and that most spiders can be raised the same.

Another cracking video Dave I'm sure you've told all ur spiders to be on their best behaviour when ur filming them 😂🤣
