You absolutely do not need to use heat pads or heating lamps for tarantulas. As long as you're comfortable in your home, your tarantulas will be comfortable.
I think unless your home is under 65 degrees at all times no one should use a heat mat or basking bulb ever,! I have 50+ tarantulas and my house is 70-72 all the time and they are thriving. I only say this because heat mats are prone to overheating unless they have a thermostat and basking bulbs produce intense light that tarantulas hate, both options aren't really needed IMO.
Pretty cool to see. I’m planning on getting my first T soon. Not too many of us into the hobby nice to see another African American woman that loves and isn’t scared of spiders
E M I just got one too it’s also my first it’s only a year old too idk the gender of it yet tho I have to wait till it molts but mine is not slow and calm the first time I held it it just ran up my arm and started jumping off of me it was terrifying I thought I was gonna loose it but it’s really cool
@@Soarific don't worry. I got my first when I was 4 lol. Sadly he did pass away due to me leaving his enclosure in a place that was too hot. However I got another one when I was 6 and 9 years later she is still doing great. Hope she can live an even longer and happier life. Anyways, good luck.
agentpeck I got one, curly hair and I’ve had it for a few weeks or more now! It’s been buried away most of that time and I’m yet to see it. Do you still throw in food when it burrows and doesn’t come out? I’m so confused, and I keep filling it’s water bowl up but it evaporates within 30 mins!
@@Soarific depending on the food type, I would or would not throw food in, for example, superworms tend to burrow fairly quickly, especially in soft and deep substrate, so I wouldn't recommend that you just drop the insect and hope for the best. It would burrow and soon become a dartling beetle. With something like a cricket or roach, it's a bit more safe to drop it near them. It is best to try and make movement at the dens entrance to attract the tarantula to the light where you can make sure it is eating. If you decide to drop the cricket or roach into its den without you being able to see the tarantula, then be sure to search for the prey item after about an hour as they tend to disrupt and even injure tarantulas. Also, the information in this video was pretty wrong. Do Not feed your tarantula 6 times a week. Once a week is best but 2 times a week is more than enough. For your water situation, I had a similar problem so what I did was I made my own lid for her tank with less ventilation. So maybe you should cover up Some of the holes in your ones enclosure. I also moved her cage to an area where she gets light but absolutely no direct sunlight. Hope I could help. Goodluck
I'm sorry, I don't say this to be rude or discouraging but please remove this video. A lot of information is inaccurate and could actually harm other owners Ts if they follow what you're saying
Great video, I just adopted my 2nd B.Albo yesterday.I do have to disagree with one detail when it comes to the molt process and that is humidity, they need plenty of internal hydration for a successful molt. Plenty of water and feed their prey fruits and veggies so their food is well hydrated.
Dose only my curly hair tarantula just bolts up my arm the first time ya hold em and climbs on THE FRICKEN ROOF OF ITS ENCLOSURE anybody? ;w; pls help ;~;
You don’t need a big tank. Tarantula’s actually prefer smaller, darker enclosures. You don’t need coconut or all that either. You don’t need heat lamps or heating pads (actually very bad for them) there’s a lot of things in this video that is miseducated & not right.
I just bought one I just started the hobby so my first 3 turantalas are gbb stripe knee and this beauty here is my 3rd I'm working my way up to a goofy sapphire and eventually the birdeaters but since I just started I'm taking my time with these wonderful creatures
Lasiodora parahybana (Salmon Pink Birdeater) is a beginner friendly birdeater. WAYYY more beginner friendly than a gooty sapphire.I have 3 in my collection. Theyre cheap too! Like $10 for slings, grow quickly and get massive. theyre the 3rd largest species of tarantula.
I have one. But they are not my type. You want fun, get old world T’s! Much more exciting. Although they are considered pet holes. Not all are. But my obt’s , cobalt blues , king baboons are my favorite.
Just got mine today :) love how slow moving they are so easy for changing water etc in aquarium. I’ve got snakes and frogs and now spiders and I can’t wait til he/she molts I am hoping I got a female but either way I love my little feller :)
Ive always wanted a spider and people recommended a curly hair because for one, its for a start and because my hair is curly Im getting this spider very soon so this helped a lot
You do not want to keep them in damp enclosures that will promote bacteria growth which can be fatal to them. Put a water dish in there and use a spray bottle to spray some water around the substrate and glass that will keep them happy, also don't use any sort of sponge in their water bowl either and lastly I would recommend using drinking or R.O. water for them and their enclosure as tap water may contain additives that could be harmful to them.
savannamcbeatles20 best thing to do with Ts who are molting is to keep the area dark and in a quiet room and leave them alone. Helping may harm or worse.
No, leave them be, just keep a water dish in there and spray the sides with water that is all the moisture they need. They are very vulnerable when they are molting. Also do not put any crickets or prey in there as they may attack it.
Do tarantulas have any intelligence? Serious question. Do they learn to bond with people, know their name etc. I don't ever plan on owning one, but curious if they have a brain or intelligence. Love your video on the Flemish Giant Rabbit. We just got one last week and rabbit proofing our house is a bigger job than baby proofing our house for all 4 kids we have 😂😂😂.
No. A tarantula will never recognize you, or even really see you. Tarantulas mostly see changes in light. They see through vibration and feel and taste. To them, you're either a threat or just something for them to walk on
I had a six Inch beautiful curly hair too.. Very sweet pretty spiders.. They make good pets.. Mine was very docile I miss that girl.. My ex took her and wouldn't let me have her when we split up 😒... I want another curly hair as sweet as mine was.. Yours is beautiful
@@robloxanimations4729 yes.. she was mine.. I know it's crazy fighting over a spider right lol.. She was a cool laid back trantula.. I hope to get another like her again someday
Unpopular opinion. I personally don't like tarantulas that have alot of colors and are fast, I prefer the slower moving ones and less colors. I know very Unpopular opinion sorry lol

Never use a heat lamp or heat pad! Use a space heater and heat the room! Also goodies are cool but hard to take care of and you should be experienced! Also it's not like a bee bite because bees sting!? You should do some research and not use tarantulas just to get on TH-cam and try and look pretty. Do it for people who want to care for tarantulas because ur spreading bad husbandry.

exactly, but if you live in a colder place it would me recommended to buy one just in case it is needed
@@legendarygaming5045 my curly hair is feisty ;-; he bolts and runs everytime i try to give him his water bowl
@@legendarygaming5045 i still wouldnt reccomend a heat pad i would reccomend buying a heater for the room you keep them in in that case
Just got my first tarantula and even Ik she was wrong when she said u need the heat
Yea they’ll bake under that log and heating pad .

You're absolutely right. I fear for the tarantulas whose owners buy them a heating pad or lamp based on this video's advice.

This is a very good video. I just ordered a Curly for my wife as a present.
Actually females can live up to 30 years depending on the speices
Very rarely does that happen.
Dose only my curly hair tarantula just bolts up my arm the first time ya hold em and climbs on THE FRICKEN ROOF OF ITS ENCLOSURE anybody? ;w; pls help ;~;
mine was very calm the first time lmao
Dude I literally just bought one today and yes same here . But now he's chillin
Mines never barrows he just sits on the substrate all day

I just got my first tarantula today and it's a curly hair! Eeeeeeeek!
I have two curly hairs juveniles got them when they where slings smaller than dime and I have two LP juveniles same as the curly heads
Great video love this trantula I also own one!
Really thought her shirt had pictures of spiders on the flag
Hi Kaye Miss Beautiful! Another great informational video can't wait to see what you have next!? Great collection Kaye.
Jesse Robinson thanks!!
@@KayeBassey very welcome
Ever considered freezing your crickets to avoid them harming your tarantula? I've had great success with this.
pls remove from youtube this is incorrect info and ppl could harm there tarantulas thanks no offense meant im sure your doing yur best
This girls definitely on something lmao
I got a female of this Curly hair . I hope she grew like yours
I love tarantulas
I'm getting a baby curly hair. I've had lots of different creatures. This will be my fist spider

Great video as well as nice to look at and very well spoken. Really helped me make my choice on a curly. Thanks 😊
Creep

Getting one this weekend

Wow what a big T! Cant wait for my little dude to get that big! Have a great day
Ive always wanted a spider and people recommended a curly hair because for one, its for a start and because my hair is curly
Im getting this spider very soon so this helped a lot
I feel you same one and just got it
I just got one aweek ago. She is our
2 nd one. My bf just got me her. Loving spiders.
You kick ass. I love it 🤘🏻❤️
I got a pink toe & a curly , I got my reptile guy out looking for a red knee for me right now
actually, you can’t have heating lamps cuz it can cause them to dry out and they need to stay hydrated.
6 crickets a week is way too much!!
What would you suggest to keep the humidity at a reasonable level? I've read things about using peat moss and and keeping it damp?
You do not want to keep them in damp enclosures that will promote bacteria growth which can be fatal to them. Put a water dish in there and use a spray bottle to spray some water around the substrate and glass that will keep them happy, also don't use any sort of sponge in their water bowl either and lastly I would recommend using drinking or R.O. water for them and their enclosure as tap water may contain additives that could be harmful to them.
I'm thinking about getting one I already have 6 and I like this species and I like how fluffy they are
What is the song at the end ?
I have a curly hair i have to wait to see if its a boy or a girl when they mualt
Can you help them when they’re molting ? Like feed them water with a drip tool to give them energy?

Love my brachypelma albopilosum mine is not very nice , she's a hair kicker.
My pet spider would be a black widow althought I couldn't pet it.
You cute ash 💜
Almost at 1k subs! Keep it up!!
Yes, Great!
What is the song at the very beginning? Let me get my life.
Bei Payne it’s called, “Shape of Water” by thmpsn 😊

Thank you very informative
Thank you... great video
Wow there are sooo many cuts in this video lol. Like your videos though, keep it up.
I had a six Inch beautiful curly hair too.. Very sweet pretty spiders.. They make good pets.. Mine was very docile I miss that girl.. My ex took her and wouldn't let me have her when we split up 😒... I want another curly hair as sweet as mine was.. Yours is beautiful
this may be a weird question but who bought the curly hair, was it you or your ex-girlfriend? was it yours to start with?
@@robloxanimations4729 yes.. she was mine.. I know it's crazy fighting over a spider right lol.. She was a cool laid back trantula.. I hope to get another like her again someday
Was my ex boyfriend.. That ended up with her
I Just Bought Me One Today ‼️💯
Getting bitten by a bee😂
Maybe, it'll cure my arachneophobia. My youngest loves spiders. He's 10 in August
He could get a Phidippus regius jumping spider! They're super easy to take care of and look really cute.
im sorry- but 6 crickets a week?
Yeah please don’t use a heating lamp for a tarantula
WHY IS MY CURLY HAIR SO ENERGETICCCP
Didn’t know bees could bite 🐝
Love your T-shirt Kaye! Bye .
Great!
You probably shouldn’t look on the Wikipedia page
it’s HUGE!!! 😄😩

Youre beautiful id date you but if I seen them I'd be out 😂
