- Theraphosa blondi, second pairing
As promised our second pairing of the amazing Theraphosa blondi these guys are so large and yet very gentle when pairing often displaying their huge fangs but showing no real aggression towards each other, within second successful insemination this will be the last pairing for this female so fingers crossed for a healthy egg sac in the coming months.

It's fascinating how different species have completely different sizes when it comes to Males/Females. Blondi Males clearly look like they are designed to live another day when you look at the size of them. Yes, she is a beast...but so is he! Certainly would not be an easy feat to take him out for her at all.
The one I found most fascinating, was the one male that smacked his fangs on the glass. Literally was knocking on the female’s door. 🥰
@@jenniferfoster1792 Yes, I remember that too. A very profound knocking. They mean business!😀
It's good to see a post from you Dave and the Beasty channel.
As always great camera work from your lovely wifey 😉 thanks for this post the blonde's always have all the fun 😉👍✌🇦🇺. Cheers from Sunny Australia.

Hello great video information and pairing Dave
Great pairing once again Dave, l never get tired of seeing any of the Theraphosa Family !!!!!!!!!!!
What a Pair! Both Times went so well.
She looks like a Coconut now.
So round and huge. She's absolutly massive. Promising.
Also the Male is an absolute pro.
He got her very well without upsetting her to much. Gentle Giants.
The size of the T. blondi never ceases to amaze me, what an amazing creature.
Same here! Spiders the size of puppy dogs, absolutely fascinating.
Always always fascinating to watch these beauties pairing. As always a fantastic video dave and camera lady
Hi Dave I really enjoy how calm you move your spider I've seen other channels with tarantulas And they're not so gentle And that upsets me, I also love the blow-by-blow information you give as they are pairing, Thank you very much😁🕷👍🕷
You are such a great teacher. And very respectful of your spiders. It's brilliant how you learn from observation with each pairing. I find it interesting how different they all really are. So much to learn. Thanks Dave.
I´ve said it before and I say it again: you are an educator. One of a kind on TH-cam.
❤❤❤❤

I have to say your photography is spectacular. I've had a chance to visit other spider channels and the female instantly killed her suitor. The photography isn't that great, it's too dark. Things happen too fast and you don't see anything. Your channel is by far leaps and bounds ahead of anyone else. Your beasties are so well-behaved and calm, there is enough light to see with exceptional close-up phtography. I don't see anyone using paintbrushes as you do they use metal tongs. Maybe their spiders respond in kind to their owners, which says a lot about your "way with beasties". It doesn't seem to matter to you, spiders, centipedes, scorpions they are all well-behaved and calm. It is truly astounding to watch. Thank-you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much really do appreciate your support ❤❤👍
I am so very pleased you’re always there, ready to separate them if anything should go wrong. I love that you protect the males from being munched. I have seen a video on a different channel & the male unfortunately was eaten. The owner didn’t even try to save him 😢 I know people say that it’s natural but as you’ve shown time & time again, that you can step in & save the males. Thank you Dave for always being on stand by for the boys. Your channel is the best out there 😊
We appreciate your support my friend ❤️👍
The Stermi, and Blonde are my favorites by far. I love when you show the monsters of the hobby! Good stuff!
Wow! That was intense for a few moments Dave! What a superb pairing video I can see now what you’ve been talking about Dave with the different body posturing and body language it is totally exciting to witness! She seemed very receptive and he got the deed done without incident! Camera lady again fantastic footage of these two giants, I love the Blondi the most out of the Theraphosa genus. Outstanding video guys again you make my Monday mornings best of luck Dave with an egg sac from her!!🕷🤞
Thank you 🙏
Awesome video! I hope that every hobbyist on TH-cam sees how you handle and respect your spiders and takes your example to heart! I've watched quite a few channels now, and your methods truly impress me. I can hardly believe how my own attitude has changed! I found a tiny spider on my counter yesterday and just wanted to get it outside and protect it. Quite a change from immediately killing it! 😉
Thats awesome ❤❤❤
That`s the Beastie way!
Awesome spiders! That was amazing. She has impressive fangs. You are an excellent Beastie guardian.
Just love how you stay so calm I would be jumping in to separate them both lol, again great video you and camera lady are the best.👍🍺
project BLONDI on its way hopefully to the success that you want PROFF. next few months will be interesting to see the egg sack. some great video CAMERA LADY and great footage. the information to the hobby from the BEASTIE ROOM is amazing and very grateful. many thanks guys and take care
Fingers crossed! and thank you so much ❤️👍
Great vid as always guys, I look forward to each monday and thursday for each new video. What an awesome pair.....ooo arghh lol, beautiful species. The rich colouring and sheer size of these, absolutely magnificent 🤩🤩🤩
Good job as usual Dave and Camera Lady! Can't wait to see an egg sack and then eggs with legs. Have a great week until the next video later this week. I love it!!!!
theyre so relaxed I had to keep checking my video thinking it was frozen! 😂😂😂
This is why you are the one to go to for spiders.. Not only do you show the paring.. But then you go over it step by step afterwards to explain the behaviour of the siders and actions taken by you. So that there is complete understanding of what we see that is going on and not just two spider dangling, bumping and grinding.. You ,my friend, you have the spirit of the teacher. If you do not mind that I put it that way.. I guess a natural teacher would be more apropo. But what you do is a great and noble thing.. thanks David for sharing your talents with the world.. and of course the great and noble camera lady, may her cameras ever be in focus.. enjoy the week guys!
Thank you so very much we appreciate your support my friend ❤
@@daveslittlebeasties It warms my heart to be able to do so guys..
Incredible clip as always ! I was a little bit worried when the female kept holding on to the male at the end. Thankfully, they broke away without any incident. Crossing fingers for a nice, healthy sac :)
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
🙏 thank you my friend
Man, that's a big tangle of legs! 😂 Love your videos. Keep 'em coming.
It always amazes me how calm your spiders are. Hope for a big egg sack.
That felt tense, but was great in the end. Nice work.
Hi Dave
Another great Video. Your commentary is brilliant, it really shows your knowledge and understanding of thess incredible spiders. They certainly are an impressive spider. I would love to get you on TV
❤❤❤
The females abdomen always reminded me of a tennis ball when they are full of eggs... I think the fuzz helps with that association 😆
Great upload as always, Dave, Camera Lady, I have everything crossed he was successful 🤞🤞🤞
Love this channel guys! Its a teaching channel which is fantastic for all us newbies LOVE IT!!
Thank you 🙏
It’s great isn’t it? And I’m arachnophobic
He’s like “hello anyone home. I’m back to make babies. Do you have any wine”?
My wife gave birth to our first child this week. I was able to catch up on all the Beastie videos id missed that past fee weeks. I see future Beastie Room lover in her! Can’t wait to watch videos with her!
That’s awesome congratulations my friend ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fascinating! But by geez they're big!
Great video
Brilliant, brilliant vlog Dave . A shout out to ‘ camera lady ‘ also , the ‘ fang shot’ was awesome. Wouldn’t want a nip from those bad boys 🤣🤣🤣 . Keep em coming Dave 👍🕷🕷🕷
What a stunning couple!! Absolutely beautiful spiders! I hope you get a large clutch of healthy little ones!〔>>*
Good morning everyone, It was a pleasant video. Maybe one day I can watch this ceremony live. :)
They are really big tarantulas David and Sweet Camera Lady but so beautiful too! They both look very healthy so I hope the female will produce an eggsack for you soon! Take care and have a great week you both, hugs Susanne.
Brilliant pairing Dave. Am looking forward to updates from this. Great video bud 👍
I love how you handle things so smoothly. I pay great mind
The male looked massive until the female came out. She is huge.
I’m so immature because I always giggle like a little kid when you say “fully loaded“ 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Such a lovely pairing! cannot
wait for my Blondi to be older.
I love all your pairing videos. Interesting and excellent camera work.
You two are such good teachers. Much appreciated, so thank you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
❤❤❤❤
Another great video dave and camera lady! I'm so glad you're reinforcing the need to be respectful when you're pairing you're spiders. I've seen that exotic lair kids channel and you can clearly tell he doesn't really care much for the males fate during a pairing. He's usually really loud and animated proding his males to get going rather than wait for it to happen naturally. I'm sure he does it so he can have a video of his males getting eaten.
love these pairing videos! So interesting, I love spiders.
Glad you enjoyed!
5:23: Whoa, thats one long, pointy, sharp embolus..!😮
A well-hung tarantula!!🤣
"What A Man" plays in background!😉😄
Great video. Love the big spiders. Fingers crossed.
This was actually beautiful for what it was. The after mating dance where they "spoke" to each other and proved worth was amazing.
Hi Dave and Camera Lady!!! Great pairing video!!
That was great pairing. It was a real calm one. I believe the reason it took so long for them to separate is the female wanted a little cuddle time.
But cuddling with her fangs out.😄
These big and beefy T.blondi's are just fun to watch.
Amazing footage! Just subscribed 👍 - will look forward to watching more of your channel Dave. Great work.
Thank you and welcome to our channel my friend ❤️👍
Beautiful spiders 🕷 😍 wishing you a successful egg sack 🥰 thank you for sharing this awesome video 📹 Mr and Mrs Dave ❤❤❤
Do they get a cigarette afterwards too?
😂😂😂
Titan breeding. Love it. Observing them is fascinating every time. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
Hello Dave and Camera Lady! Yay! The Blondies are back! What a wonderful video. 😊. Praying to the spider gods for a good viable egg sac.🤞🏻🤞🏻How long does it normally take to have an egg sac drop after the second pairing? Once you do have an egg sac, how long will it be before they are actual babies? I’m all a flutter at the thought. Can’t wait for the continuing saga of the giants. Thank you again for what you do. It is so fascinating and you both do it so will. Stay safe, take care and have an amazing week! Good night. ❤🌗🤠
It can now be many months before producing an egg sac and then another 80 days for slings to emerge 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties I guess we will all have to be patient. 🙂
Magnificent species thanks Dave xx
Nice Video Dave, And Loads of tips and information TOP!!!!! :-D
Gday from the home of Sydney Funnel Webs . Love your work , but all my English mates cry about a hot summer . Our winter temps are just slightly cooler than your summers
Come to Australia during Xmas , every day min 40 degrees Celsius and that’s just Sydney . Perth , Adelaide are situated off the Nullarbor Desert . Darwin hits min 30 degrees every day of the year, with a storm
Night is the worse - the heat makes it hard to sleep , I live in a humid hot part of Sydney - funnel webs everywhere , especially the vicious male and red backs
My mate got bitten by a red back - it was like hot melt glue gun on your skin then a panel pin nailed into the spot . Being Aussie kids we all tried it - it was confirmed max heat - hot melt glue gun is a red back spider pain .
Once again a fantastic Video. I am about to specialice on this species. And your Videos help a lot. Greetings from Germany
Wow! She's is massive and so is he!!!!!!!! That's great, more tarantula to love! :-)
It's almost like he waited for that trance like stand the females do, it's just a theory I came up with, I could be completely wrong lol 🤔🤪🕷️😂
Love your show!!!!!!! you so cool.......
❤❤❤
Very interesting Video, thanks for the upload! 😍🕷️
Absolutely brilliant Dave, Another successful pairing which hopefully should produce an egg sac Dave, Although i don't breed my tarantulas, i always enjoy and learn something new from your pairing videos, thanks Dave, Anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady.
Thanks George ❤
Oooo! Awesome video! Hoping for babies!!
I pray to have a collection half as good as urs Dave ,camera lady ,
Great information as allways Dave ,👍
Thank you 🙏
interesting paring on monday mornig 👍thanks
I thought the first pairing was successful but this looks even better. Now we wait and see if she lays her eggs fingers crossed it will be good news. Excellent explanation and filming as always guys.
Thank you 🙏
Hi, Dave!!!
@@twerktospec Last name
Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕hope you’re doing well today.
I can never get enough of The Beastie Room. I love all your videos folks, with your narration and information Dave and epic camera shots Camera Lady!
Getting back to the pairing… WOW! 🕷️🕷️They’re both amazing creatures from the species that I both fear and find the most exciting. One of the biggest tarantulas in the world. Though yours still have some more to grow. Nonetheless, they’re stunning!
It was great to see the second pairing, and fingers crossed that an egg sac is the next step.
Is it a wonder that we all love the Beastie Room 💙💕🕷️🕷️
Take care both and stay safe 💙💕🕷️🥰🤞xxx
Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gorgeous paring congratulations your so amazing and calm with your spiders 💗
❤❤❤
Titan love, that was really cool, ol'boys emboli was like a flashlight, a really good insemination as you said, that was a first for me, the way they kind of wrestled with each other, I've not seen that before, I was thinking maybe she was sizing him up for a possible meal but she thought better of it, the parting of ways was a really amicable one... That was awesome... Another 10/10.
Thanks Dave, Beasties and camera Lady...
👍😃👍
🙏 thank you so much ❤️
beautiful spiders and they sorted themselves out.
Fabulous.
Dave, you could offer university degrees in Arachnid Husbandry. As well as fun, these videos are teaching material of the very highest quality.
Wow, thanks ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Looking forward to your Tripepii pairing as I have a Juvie Male that I would like to source a Female for when he nears maturity.
He is only aroubd 3.5 - 4 inches at the moment so another couple of molts yet! He thinks he's old world as I never get hair kicking but always a threat pose if disturbed🤣
Love your video's Dave! You should take a read of An Immense World by Ed Yong. The way you talk about the spiders senses and communication makes me feel you would love this book!
she's a really lovely sized spider🕷. beautiful girl
Excellent Dave...
Great video Dave. Greetings from Costa Rica!!
Welcome to our channel my friend ❤👍
so much for courtship, he just went right for it.
Hey Dave! I've been subscribed for quite some time and never really expected to be into Tarantulas as much as I am now. Though I've been here for almost a year now, the Indian Violet was the one that REALLY got me into this. How is it doing and do we get another video of it anytime soon?
Wow that was incredible the subtle dance of signals they send to each other .just wow !! She is huge a beauty in her own right .. And it's great the way you teach.. you make it easy and fun to learn ....thanks for the great vid camera lady and i think your spot on she looks very gravid..like ready to burst.... i think we're going to see some egg sack removals in the near futur with all these pairing vids ...
Amazing video. Learned a lot.
Great video dave, ya never disappoint
Thanks 👍
Greetings from Mocksville, NC, USA. Great video as always. I have a question and a brief thank you story. Would this girl be a candidate for one of your giant custom made enclosures? And a thank you for sharing your handling of all of these guys, it translates to wild animals as well. I thought we'd found a baby bunny puttering around in the road on our way home from work but it was a young squirrel missing all but about an inch of his tail and I thought an eye. We got him home and into a very tall wire cat condo until I could get him to a rehabber the next evening. We used all of your techniques to get him back out of there for his transport the next day with little stress to him. He was not missing the eye but is blind and will live out his life safely with his new Mom. Would never have gone so well for him if I hadn't found your channel. 🐿❤
That’s awesome it’s all about understanding the animal ❤
Love it!
@@bjorn.sandenstein 😂😂😂😂😂
@@bjorn.sandenstein bahahahaha 🤣🤣 funniest thing I've heard all week 🤣 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
This was very interesting. You are right about people rushing the males. I saw a video where she kept poking the male when he was inches from the female, he panicked, ran and she went for him. Bit him in the leg and they had to cut the leg off to save his life. It made me so angry to see that. I had to leave before I said something that I might have regretted
😢 that is awful
@@marauhhmarie it was. On the a positive note, he survived. But yeah
Amazing to see them so relaxed after a pairing. I truly think a lot of it has to do with the vibrations. When you think of it, in their natural environment, there's probably not a lot of things that'll come along during that post-insemination, and if it does, then... well, who knows. Some other youtubers I watch talk, tense up, move around and bump while the spiders are in the process. And vibrations are how they see the world! Must be like static going over your eyes or something.
But these great big giants are _so_ relaxed, start to finish. From your great conditioning of course, but the lack of "noise" from you (and the safety paintbrush!) is a major player, for sure. Putting yourself in their 8 shoes can really help you understand them better. 🙂
Question: Do you know how long these spiders' lineages go back? Did you raise them from slings? Just curious about captive-bred vs. wild-caught behavior. Great stuff as always 💙💙
Thank you 🙏, I dont know the background of these individuals but looking at them I would say they were captive bred 👍
Amazing patience mr Dave 😮😊😊😊
Thank you 🙏
Great vid 👍
Love these big spiders. Do the males of the T blondi live longer than the average male tarantula? You mentioned he takes food.
Considering picking up a sling or two for a long term project, but worried about the urticating hairs on these guys haha Looking forwards to the next new video!
Yes these males can g 2 or 3 years as mature with good care 👍
Awesome video👍💙💙💙
thanks for the spider love!
Those were very healthy spiders.
quite interesting!
Another great vid n fingers crossed for a successful pairing ....
Awesome chat, i just got one of these
that guy has got some moves!! :D
