Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching ♥️

35 years keeping and studying tarantulas I'm yet to see one that hasn't acted out of self defence.

I have every confidence you will do it, you have come to the right place to start your journey. I'd love updates on how you get on, thanks for watching ♥️

They are lovely little little spiders, shame bonnatina species aren't more popular

@robbiestalkingts totally agreed i got tss 30 mystery it had the b.tanzeri, diamond back and t.rast

I want to get a diamond back for my animal lectures, tempted to get the saf from tss

Firstly thanks for watching I appreciate it, as for your questions the simple answer is no, poecilotheria are not a burrowing species and no i don't do it for slings but a miniature bio could be fun to try. As for maintaining the enclosure I simply take out the spider like during a rehouse, do what needs to be done and then pop it back in.

​@@robbiestalkingtsawesome! Thank you so much for your prompt response. ❤

Not a problem it's what I'm here for

Appreciate the view

@robbiestalkingts your Welcome love watching your videos

You the best 👌

@@robbiestalkingts 😍

@@robbiestalkingts subscribed I thought I already was ❤️‍🔥

Thanks for watching

My colony has grown massive, they are brilliant little creatures and great feeders for the ts so win win

Glad you enjoyed it, this was so long ago I forgot all about it and had re watch myself.even going as far as to laugh at myself several times. I absolutely love poecilotheria species and if I could only keep one genus they would be my choice hands down. You will do great, just keep calm and go at the spiders pace and you will be fine 🙂

They are notorious for being one of the hardest to breed, females are VERY fussy when it comes to a male.

@robbiestalkingts I will see when my gbb girl grows up 🤞🏻😂

I did a 2nd attempt a few weeks after this video which thankfully was successful I should have filmed it so people could see that females/males don't always drum before mating.

Normal day really 🤷‍♂️ but all part of the fun, thanks for watching

That's a great point i never thought to mention it, I take it for granted common sense would state the animals set up a home, why would we destroy it. And apart from spot checking (removing poop and left over food) people would just leave them be in the same set up. But you have opened my eyes to a new perspective in advice giving so thank you, I'll be sure to add it in future.

@robbiestalkingts I'm a complete beginner to spiders. I've just set up a home for my very first tarantula the chaco golden knee. Which he/she will soon be on there way. So as a beginner been looking at beginner tarantulas housing set up and care . That was the one point where people missed enclosure maintenance. I would be very interested in your thoughts after having a think about that subject. Or maybe do a short video for complete beginners new to tarantulas. You certainly made a good point about when they set up there homes you re arrange there house periodically. Intriguing.

Well you have to have the mindset of in the wild once they find a burrow they web it up and unless it gets disturbed or dug up they will stay there for there entire life time. We clean away poop and waste food which would be in the wild cleaned by other insects (I.e isopods, flys ect) so all we do as keepers is replicate wild conditions in a captive setting. Hope that helps.

Glad you enjoyed the video, albopilosus is an awesome species i love them myself too, I believe it's important to learn about the animals we keep so unlike other channels who just push the same recycled care guides over and over again, I try to learn not just the biology and habitat of the animal but the history of it too, true enthusiasts want to know these things and I love to share the information it's fascinating.

She's great always been supportive and encouraged my animal keeping from 5 years old. It also was a great box I loved it

No not at all the video is a small snippet of what was actually 8 hours long of absolutely nothing from either spider, funny enough there was a 2nd attempt about 2 weeks after, same exact thing but a still intact male, a healthy egg sack which was then sold on to a reputable breeder/seller. My phormictopus cancerides was the same 0 drumming but successful pairing. It happens.

He's a lovely boy 😊

Hey buddy glad you're on the mend, must have got tagged properly. Glad to see you back.

Absolutely agree

Could be a few reasons, either it's in shed, it's eaten enough and just gone off food which is normal, or something has changed it dosent like in it's enclosure.

@robbiestalkingts ok thank you, she just shed and we just got her so idk when she was fed last but she seems to really like her area, we are gonna try live and see if that helps too

Always time to get one eventually

Spider dosent deserve the reputation they get, really does frustrate me that people spread so much hate and misinformation for clout online. I'm sure your baby is gorgeous.

@robbiestalkingts yeah, exactly, and she is I love yours too, I'm gonna change my pfp to her soon too

Pretty much, the problem is most people don't show u sometimes it takes hours before the drumming starts (8 hours in together is my record atm) and I've also had pairings happen when drumming starts the split second before the pairing attempt. It's one of those situations you will never know the outcome. Despite most psudeo experts trying to insist otherwise. But on a good note there was a successful pairing about a month after this video so she got there in the end.

I’ve rewatched it, and it seems like she let him off TWICE with a warning. Now, it might be a good thing he got eaten because his behavior was so weird! You don’t want multiple tarantulas acting that way.

Tbh the video is very edited down, the whole session of them together actually lasted around 8 hours most of it consisted of 0 happening from both ts. I think the strangest thing is about 3 weeks later I tried again with a different male went exactly the same way but it was a successful pairing and the male survived.

@@robbiestalkingts oh wow.

That's awesome to hear

Agreed I have 3 of them they are fantastic

Thanks for watching 👌

Grammostola iheringi it's becoming harder and harder to get hold of captive breed species which is a shame

Yes they are!

They are!

One of my favourites 😍

Because the youtube algorithm dosent work like that unfortunately in order to push content you have to go with words or trending phrases and not stuff that's over saturated.

Thanks for the sub I really appreciate it, hope to see your comments in other and future videos I make. 👌

Hey ya first off thank you for watching I really appreciate it, you should watch my tarantulas misunderstood documentary, there's actually been 0 deaths from a tarantula bite ever recorded so you're only partly correct. But still they are fascinating creatures and deserve a lot of love.

@robbiestalkingts Thanks from the input. Didn't know that. Hollywood is the main reason why they are so feared and scary like sharks that only lurk you everywhere to kill you :) They are cool creatures, have to admit.

@robbiestalkingts and I'll take a look at your documentary.

I'm assuming you mean male if my understanding is correct?

Glad you enjoyed it matthew

Well done they are fantastic

They very much are, it's a shame they was over produced in the hobby years ago leading to lack of interest in the species. They are glorious to keep

Correction the issue has been found not to be neurological at all, the issue is caused by Malformations of the sacculus and the semicircular canals in the ear canal of the morph, this can be found in several other genes not just the spider gene. It's even been seen in genes not associated with wobble (I've seen normals with head wobble), thanks for old information though I appreciate it.

Thanks for watching 👌

Thank you for watching 🙌

I plan to use the ones that came in the boxes in future documentary videos in the future, all are doing very very well, so that will kind of be an update of sorts.

I have no idea what you're talking about all 8 legs and 2 pedipalps are present in the video 🤔

I know every sling i ever purchased ended up being male, I'm guessing there's a higher male to female ratio in egg sacks. Thanks for watching mark

@@robbiestalkingts My pleasure.
