- Caribena versicolor egg sac removal and breeding update
Today we pull the first Caribena versicoloured egg sac of 2023 this is an unusual one as this female has always chosen to be on the floor when webbing up her home , quit unusual for a arboreal spider ?
So lets see what we find .

I'm scared of spiders but your spiders are amazing and it's fascinating watching how you look after them
Thank you 🙏
Yup, me too! 😂 Dave makes the creepy thing’s interesting and just wait until you get like me and begin to find them beautiful 😂
My boss said the same thing till I showed him how mine are cared for n showed him the little beasties .. he still isn't keen but actually asks about them ..
As an Aussie I've been taught to literally fear the snakes & funnelweb spiders around our house as a child. This was quite a reasonable reaction by my parents considering the medically significant brown snakes, red belly black snakes & eastern taipans. I've since have kept some pythons over the years& gotten past a lot of snake fears. Dave has piqued my interest in tarantulas as I watch these videos but my funnelweb fear is still a thing. Still I am learning with interest which is helpful all the same.
@@MstresVampy may I ask do u ever feed your spiders say small lizards etc ? Just curious is all.
Versicolors are the prettiest babies ever!
Pretty through all their stages but genuinely one of my favorites to watch grow.
Thanks Dave and camera lady! Hope you guys are doing well!
4:19: Yes.. it really is a lovely maternity room, she has made. Spider moms are awesome. All that work and care and energy, that they put into this event. Marvellous.😀👍❤️
This channel is one of my favourite TH-cam channels.
And I am not fond of arachnids but slowly becoming fascinated by the huge variety of spiders discussed in the videos.
When you live in Australia, you learn to respect poisonous creatures such as spiders (Sydney Funnel Web), snakes (taipan, brown, tiger) and sea creatures (box jelly fish, blue ringed octopus, cone shells etc).
We have some magnificent Orb Spinners in our area. They were sent up in a space shuttle
Dave and Mrs Camera Lady! 😁👋🏼☺️ sound is good here!
Oh god, I felt so sad watching this sac removal, it's the first time I've seen Mum really not want to let go!. I know you said they don't have emotions, but her motherly instinct was really kicking in..Beautiful spider though. ❤️❤️
How sad about the egg sack. But maybe next time she will drop a much better egg sack. Thanks for an update on the slings. I really enjoy looking at the babies.
She's such a little beauty. She sure didn't want to let go of her egg sack. I sort of feel sorry for her. I hope they don't have long memories....who could tell? Love your vids! Thanks so much!
Im terrified of spiders, but i absolutely LOVE your channel! You and camera lady make great videos and i always learn something. I've learned to see how actually beautiful and interesting these spiders are. Thank you
Same by watching them i m learning more. And starting to realise how beautiful these little beasties actually are 😀
You just need to keep telling yourself - they're much more afraid of you... than you are of them. Spider venom is 'expensive' to produce. They're not going to waste it on something (or someone) they can't eat !
I absolutely hate house spiders, But have always found Tarantulas fascinating.. I've even held them before! That's crazy coming from someone who won't touch a house spider.
@@danimayb Nah, I think I get, where you are coming from... Housies are more "scary-looking" ans super-duper fast.
I've had 11 Housies, but these days, I have a Brachypelma emilia juvie. When she/he/whatever molts the next time, the marvellous colors will begin to show. 🙆♂️
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Oh thats a shame and there were alot of eggs there too. But as you said you have more on the way 😊.
It's so nice to see the other babies doing well
Great video guys even though it was a bit of a sad one
😊👍
The spiderlings looked fabulous! Too bad about the egg sack. The webbing is so white! Once I gave up my fear of them I realize what amazing creatures these spiders are.
Natures a cruel mistress. Great to see the babies though 😍
Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕🕷️hope you’re both doing great.
Awe, when I seen the title of this video, I was really excited about it because I love seeing the eggs with legs, and them going into their nursery pot and into their incubator.
It’s a pity that the egg sac wasn’t viable 😢😢 But Mum looked in fab condition still 🧡🕷️
Nice to see the slings ready to go to Taunton (Camera Lady done a fantastic job with your table setup)
I seen your Facebook post about the show and how much you enjoyed it! I’m chuffed for you both 😊
Take care, have a brilliant weekend 💙💕🕷️😘xxx
Thank you Joanne it was a great day lovely to meet so many people , stay safe my friend ❤️❤️❤️
Hello great video information Dave
Thank you 🙏
10:38: It was their dementia, that made 'em do that!😄
Well darn. Here's keeping our fingers crossed for the next sack.
My happy end of the day, watching the new video from Daves Little Beasties makes everything else fade away.
❤❤❤
Yahoo Dave and Camera lady! 75,000 subscriptions and still climbing! You both really deserve every subscription every like every kudos you really are at the top of the tarantula hobby game. I became a fan when you only had around 2,000 subscriptions but I knew that overtime that would change because you were just that good. All other tarantula hobbyist should study your methods if they want to raise happy healthy tarantulas. So good on you keep it up and I look forward too much much more to come. Just as a side note my favorite videos of yours are the new housings or upgrading housings because they are always so informative and really brings out your creative side. And Camera lady does good work and is very talented but she needs a new camera. Anyway I'm off to have a spot of tea and talk with my darling. Again congratulations
Thank you so much for your continued support Terilyne I remember you commenting all that time ago 😂❤️👍
Aww .. hoping the next sacs are more successful to make up for this one. The 2nd batch of slings you showed off are adorable
Aahhh so sad to see a infertile sac. I was so excited to see what new baby's we were having. I thought I might be able to watch Camera Lady count them all out. I love a long counting baby video.
Hurry make another video. I watched this one . I'll end up watching it a few more times at least. But I need me some Dave's beasties videos here in Ohio.
❤️❤️❤️
Oh, that's sad. And She was so protective about it. But Fingers crossed for the other one 🤞🍀
Another great video! Thank you Dave, for sharing not only the successes but also the setbacks you encounter along the way. Fascinating little buggers these spiders are…
Was still so pretty to see her💙
6:12: This part always tugs at my heartstrings...
That webbing she has done looks so cool
I am so sorry, it must be a little sad losing the babies, I thought I saw two of them moving around. The pokey slings are beautiful the pattern on the abdomen is so clear and easy to identify! Thank you for another informative video, you have so much knowledge and it is great that you share so much and educate the next generation. ❤
Thank you 🙏 ❤️
Nice one dave .Shame about that egg sack but fingers crossed for your other versi sack 😉
gutted Dave...an unviable egg sac on my birthday....on the bright side tho wat better way to start the day with a new episode of daves little beasties ❤️
Happy birthday!❤❤❤❤
Happy birthday!
@@jeannettefrye5086 thank u
@@daveslittlebeasties thanks Dave...made my day that has 😁
Happy Birthday!🎉
Such a good momma despite the sack not being good.
You win some, you lose some but everything is an opportunity to learn. Thank you Dave and camera lady.
Wow... Exactly the 75.000th Subcriber .. what price do I get 😅 thanks for your great videos, I started with spiders half a year ago and my little beasties say thanks to your great channel 👍 PS: my first one was a Venezuela Sun Tiger 😊
Thanks for the sub!❤️
Wow Mr Dave watching that Lovely Lady not wanting to part with her Egg Sac was Absolutely Magical and a little Sad at the Same Time her Feet Coming Out of the Door She was Heading your way I think 😊... I Swear she came to the Window to see what you were up to after that 😊 ...It’s so Precious to See what Nature has Produced and How we get to Learn from a Knowledgeable Man like Yourself I have so much Admiration for even the Smallest Thing you Know about each and Everyone of you Beauties ... and now we get to see the Little Babies Teaching Us a thing or two as they Grow ...Thank You Once Again Mr Dave for Another Amazing Video ❤
Thank you so much for the support we really appreciate it ❤️👍
Absolutely fantastic Dave , pity about the egg sac, however, with the other versicolors, it could turn out alot better, they're a beautiful species of spider 🕷, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady.
As always I do enjoy your videos. People learn so much from your videos.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am sure sorry about the egg sac.
Fingers crossed for the other spiders egg sac.
Sad that this sac wasn't good. At least we got to see the other babies. Can't wait till we try the next sac. 👶🕷❤️
Great video 📹 👍
So sorry about that egg sac. She is a stunning spider.
Maybe she is scared of heights? Lol 🕷🕸🕷 Those slings had beautiful markings on their abdomens. Good video! Health and happiness to you and camera lady🕸🕷🕸
That was unfortunate but I did like the webbing. It looked like a tent ⛺️
It was a baby BALLROOM. 😄👍❤️
Amazing dave
I love spiders and appreciate being able to live vicariously through you! Very sad about the egg sac..but hopefully next time!
That was so wicked seeing her move her sack to protect it,
Hehe back to the sling nursery...
She says “no thank you, I’ll keep this” 😂
Thanks again guys you're the best sorry for the Los D
Sorry about the poor sack Dave
Awesome vid, guys! It's a shame the pairing didn't work out well but like you say there are so many reasons for this to happen and that is how life goes sometimes. I have several T's, one of which is a T.apophysis and even though he's still a sling I was surprised to find that Edison (yes, that's his name 😂) took over 3 weeks to stretch each segment out and harden up with his last molt and refused to eat for another week. It seems Theraphosa's love to take their time! Will be looking forward to the next vid, take care Dave and Camera Lady!
I would really love to see how you feed these slings 😊😊😊😊
Oh, what a drag ! I was really hoping that oddball versi's sac would've been good. You can't get 'em all, unfortunately. Hopefully the next ones will fare better.
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Caribena versicolor is usually a real easy spider to deal with, and have the same whimsy-skittish personality as the Avics. Lovely critters.🥰
Poecilotheria formosa can have up to four nymphal stages (Gabriel, 2004) so I wouldn't separate those slings just yet!
I just love the furry legs. She looks like a puppy.😊 I don’t much care for the spindly legged ones 😮
Those pink/light purple hairs are just GORGEOUS..! It's such a nice species, good temper, easy to care for.
Hello Dave and Camera Lady, my favorite youtube people. Bad luck on the egg sac. 😢. So sorry that happened. You said early on in the video that one sac was eaten but, you think you solved that problem. Can you give a little more detail on what the problem and the solution was? We all love the successes but the failures can be just as interesting and are definitely a learning experience. 🧐 I do hope you are successful with the next versicolor sac. They are so dang cute and fuzzy as babies. I hope your show this past weekend was successful. Your set up looked amazing! I really need a coffee cup! 😁. Okay, enough for now. Thank you for the video. Excellent work Camera Lady. Y’all take care of each other and stay safe. See you soon!
A little late this morning lol..
As always great vid fella
Brilliant as always mate, sorry it wasn’t the result you hoped for tho
You're up almost as early as me ;) Nice video Dave
Morning!
@@daveslittlebeasties Sleep in? 😆
Spiders personality goes a long way 😂
I have a juvi versicolor and he/she also chose to web up towards the bottom of the enclosure. One of my favourite T’s 🕷️
Aww shame about the egg sack not being fertile, but like you said these things happen. I do agree with regards of the slings they can grow and moult a few times, then pass for no reason. With regards of larger spiders moulting, I normally wait till they are about either attacking the water, or going on a wonder before feeding them after a moult. My mm A Gen started climbing the side after his moult, so I knew he was ready... He's tapping on the side so he's definitely ready lol.
Cool video Dave enjoyed as always. Those Salem ornamentals look really cute 🥰
Soon be ready 😂👍
Sorry about the bad sac Dave ! I wonder what really happened to it ?
sounds like some excellent pairing videos are on the way? i live for these videos lol you make excellent content!
Glad you like them!❤
Thank youuuuuuuu very much
TH-cam just pushed your video on towards me. New sub… been watching tarantula videos. =]
Awesome! Thank you!❤
Welcome to the 'family'.
Nevermind 😀
Great video Sir. Had to comment on the decision to house on the floor instead of the "normal" for an arboreal. I've got an Irminia that has dne the same thing.
Side note. On the 22nd of Feb got a surprise. I have a false sack. I have not paired my Irminias yet found that she was sitting on one! Got her a very young juvenile so I know she has not been bred.
Keep up the amazing work, Dave!
Always look forward to seeing your content.
Aw, that's a bit sad. When put all this energy into nothing...😥
@@johanneabelsen1644
Sad in the aspect of the energy used, definitely! On the brighter side she is confirmed female! I was unsure if male/female. Have been waiting for the next molt to get confirmation on both of my Irminias.
I would remove it now save her sitting on it 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties
Thank you for the advice Dave! I have been wondering on that. I knew if anyone would know it would be you.
@@markhawkins8111 ❤❤❤
How they try to hunker down and hide and then all of their legs move 😁 sorry on the egg sac but like you said other things at play or nature..can't wait to see the next one.!
Awesome Video Davies little beasties
Thanks 👍
Morning Dave & Camera lady loving the vidoe as always it was a shame about the egg sack though but hopefully she will have an excellent egg sack next time u breed her again
My versi lives on the floor like this too 😊
Hi dave
Haha she didn't want to let go poor thing...
Hey Dave, can I ask a bit of advice about these? My daughter fell in love with an adult female at the Taunton show the other day, so we picked up a sling. It's about 4cm, we rehomed it cos it was in a teeny pot and it's doing well, it's webbed up some already and ate a fat wax worm (very cool to see it get smaller and smaller until Spidey had drained it!) Anyway, question is, how often will it molt at this sort of age? It's currently a stunning blue with a fat abdomen (stripey pattern is prominent) There doesn't seem to be anything I can find online about frequency of molting and or growth rate. Was nice seeing you at the show, you were very busy!
Hi it all depends on how much its eating that dictates the growth rate 👍
Awww so sorry this one wasn't successful 😞 hopefully your other one will drop a sac soon and be a successful one 🙏🙏🙏 thank you for sharing Mr and Mrs Dave 😀 😊
I hope so too
@@daveslittlebeasties 🙏🙏🙏 🫂
you should get an endoscopy camera so you can snake it into the enclosure for closeup imagery of the tarantula inside. would be neat. Would require more editing though
You have 1 of the 3 that moved...
Sorry about the egg sac, but I love seeing the updates on the slings 😊
Hey you 2, sorry she wasn't successful, its always a shame when a sac is infertile , but on a lighter note I must say I am enjoying the catch ups on the previous sac's, noticed you've done it a few times now and I think it's brilliant, as someone who watches all your videos it's nice to see them progress as I always wonder how they did and the fact that yous show us I think is great 😊 I love what you two do fun education on amazing creatures for all ages, thank yous, as always Dave, Camera Lady 😊
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Glad for you video. Sad about the egg sac. Loved seeing the littles. Look forward to your posts.
Aw, I feel like I should give her a cotton ball or something to hold.
oh bless her she wanted to keep hold of that sac, great filming Camera lady
It is very interesting that mum laid that sac so quickly with unfertilized eggs while the other versicolor is still holding on. I'm very interested to see how her eggs turn out. I hope she produces a raging success!! Is there any kind of "average" time for an egg sac to be dropped with versicolors? Seems like that kind of statistic is a bit of a pipe dream! Great video and love your new glasses! 😉🕷🕸
They all vary
Broke my heart seeing the egg with legs moving 😢
Brilliant, informative vlog yet again Dave 👋 . I would like to put to you a question tho . Obviously your knowledge is amazing on the spiders , however , is it possible to request when you give the spiders 🕷️ there ‘ Latin ‘ genre’ would you put it also in ‘ lamens ‘ term eg “ Brazilian Wandering Spider , errrm maybe , Mexican Red Kneed “ spider . That sort of thing ? Sorry to be a pain. No problem if you don’t . Still fascinated by your channel. Still scared stupid of arachnids 😂😂😂 . I love “ giant Asian Mantis “ tho and all there different types . Can’t get them in Derby though. I’ve tried 😢😢😢. Take care Dave and camera lady . Look forward to catching your next sac removal 👍
Im sure we can do that a will try and remember 👍😂
Oh no. She is a lovely one. Hey maybe she wanted to be tucked away in the dark. Maybe that is why she tucked under the short bark. You have to take the bad with the good. We have a numbers game that way too. Peace 🕷
It really is amazing just how much webbing they can do.
The Psychology of Spiders. Pretty mama. She really didn't want you to take that. Maybe she knew there were a few good eggs in there. What is the earliest they might become defensive or aggressive?
She will always be defensive of the sac
Some of those look good and started turning into eggs either legs. I wonder what happened.
Enjoy the video she is a very pretty spider a lot of red came out on her She was really holding on to the egg sack I'm surprised it wasn't fertile, Next time mama
Hi Dave Sorry that the eggs were unfirtle. She is very pretty. Those slngs look so healthy, and very lively. Camera lady does such an excellent job counting all of the babies. ❤🕷🕸Cindy
excelent job. good stuff.
Always enjoy watching you videos. Brilliant. Btw did you keep the three that were wriggling because i didn't see you put them in nursery pot.
None were alive unfortunately
Have you thought about setting up a breeding project with purseweb spiders, I think it would be really interesting
Bummer about the egg sac.
Are you breeding the T.seladonia this year. I really enjoyed those episodes when all the babies lined the inside of the momma’s hide.
Woow.... Seladonias are just amazing on the eyes...🙆♂️🔥😲
Sacs get pulled quite often in the Beastie Room, so I'm thinking there must be a high attrition rate with slings, ie many not surviving, or you must be able to move them onto other keepers very frequently Because otherwise surely you would end up with far too many grown tarantulas to keep.
The survival rate once hatched is very very high all slings go back into the hobby , but it does take a long time to feed them all while they are here 😂👍
Another great video..I guess we can’t always get lucky..How was the booth?
Unlucky with that egg sac mate 😢
Unfortunate about the sac Dave. Hope you have better results on the others. I was looking forward to this one as I have just paired my Versicolor. I'll let you know how things go. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Good luck my friend 👍
@Dave's Little Beasties thank you sir. Everything went well and my male not only survived he's eating a cricket as I'm writing this. Hopefully he lasts a while and I can get a second pairing on down the road🤞🏻
@@Mikestarkexotics Good work my friend 👍
My fave species 💕
Perfect timing, my girl dropped a sac last week! 😊
Good luck 🤞
That's so sad!! She was desperately trying to keep her 'babies'! 😢
