3 Best Tarantula Breeds for Beginners | Pet Tarantulas

[@bradtheman19]

I find it funny how I am terrified of the tiny house spiders, yet I LOVE tarantulas. Weird.

[@AimForMyHead81]

Same, I can't stand thin small spiders but I'm totally cool with tarantula's.

[@daddyyfrogg]

maybe because they are furry

[@AimForMyHead81]

Cloe Desautels Maybe, they are more appealing to me.

[@Life_Grips_]

Same. Thats so weird...

[@deeznuts-tv1cg]

don't smaller spiders tend to be more venemous? at least with tarantulas u see them and locate them a lot easier

[@TheDarkDen]

Just a quick tip for all the people that want to get a tarantula only because it's a "cool pet"....just don't :)

Hahaha I mean I can't help but agree. He's right though, know what you are getting yourself into. Years and years of spider addiction.. lol just kidding. But seriously don't just buy the spider because you think it's cool. They each need your attention and respect.

[@nightmareneon5936]

I want it because I really want to have a pet tarantula

[@strikingmagic7776]

I heard you should NEVER use a sponge! They harvest bacteria apparently! My lovely Rose hair loves her simple water dish!

if you use the sponge, you should CHANGE the sponge every few days. otherwise it will because bacteria source

[@joshualiddell4346]

I’ve had 2 tarantulas that have drowned in their drinking dishes. Sometimes they can end up upside down in their dishes and can’t flip themselves over so they drown.

[@controllerspixelsplayers9202]

they can but they obviously are NOT aquatic animals and need to be cared for in such way

[@michaelmorris1865]

Really disagree with buying the spiders as a "cool pet", they're animals and if you aren't truly interested in them and don't fully respect them do not buy them.

[@SpiritofPoison]

Michael Morris yes I completely agree I may be 14 years old but I study and admire my OBT

[@balder613]

I disagree. They're so low maintenance that only only need to feed once a week and mist every so often. As long as the animal is cared for, what does the reason it's gotten fkr matter?

[@Evan-bo9nl]

That's like saying you shouldn't get a dog if you don't admire it and are intrigued by them. They are animals, why not have one if you want one as a cool pet

[@moprolackofuploads1674]

Evan Schaubeck I disagree. You should get a dog for the companionship, not because it's "cool" (there's an exception if you need an sd, emotional support, etc).

[@Sashige]

Isn't that kinda obvious...if u aren't interested ur not gonna buy them anyway XD

[@thecreatureverse]

Do NOT handle your tarantula for soooo long! It isn't bad or anything, but they need privacy and do not really benefit from handling. They just want a dark place with hardly any interference.

[@MidoriMushrooms]

[@ArachnidSentinl]

This video is embarrassingly inaccurate. 1) It is physiologically impossible to go into anaphylactic shock as a result of a tarantula bite (due to the structure of the peptides). There is also not a single documented death attributed to a tarantula bite. 2) Grammostola rosea (the Chilean rose tarantula) is an arid species and has the same care requirements as the Aphonopelma species he is recommending...do not keep them "a little more humid." 3) Tarantulas will not drown in a water dish. Sponges breed bacteria/mold; don't use them in a tarantula enclosure.

[@huds0253]

I. Sure the expert knows mor than u So stop thinking ur so smart And he said they might go into shock if there allergic If u change the spone often its fine,also putting it in the microwave illiminates 99% of bacteria

[@ArachnidSentinl]

I'm not sure how to respond this this, as it's literally so ignorant that I can't tell if you're trolling or not. On the off chance that you're being genuine, I encourage you to do your own research. Even the most cursory use of a search engine will prove this video horribly inaccurate.

[@BRYYAN94]

Kyle Saunders We all have our own opinions on how to care for our tarantulas, but I do agree with the anaphylactic shock thing.

[@ArachnidSentinl]

Bryan Grim Assuming you want to optimize the well being of your pet, then no, captive husbandry is not subjective. Tarantulas - particularly the New World terrestrials - can *survive* in sub-optimal environments, but will not *thrive.* The best book on the subject is Michael Jacobi's "Tarantulas." I'd also encourage you to check out the American Tarantula Society forums and Facebook page.

Chilean roses can be fine but they can also fast for long times and be temperamental.

They tend to become aggressive if they are handled too frequently. Try giving them a day to themselves after a day that you handle them, and they'll be okay.

[@jdssurf]

DJ ANON I've found them to get quite agro

[@wiechersjm9]

You don't need a sponge, that just promotes mold. They're not going to drown in a shallow water dish. They drink with their mouth parts, and their book lungs are located far away from their mouth. Also rose hairs lobe in the desert, and scrublands of Chile. The water dish will keep all the humidity they need. They don't like the humidity too high.

Thanks for the good information you shared in your video. Our 15 year old son wants a pink toe tarantula, do you recommend it to me safe for a beginner? Is their venom dangerous? Can they be aggressive? Will it escape? We would appreciate your response. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@Artsandarthropods]

Do research on arachnonoards

[@utpawn9830]

Just an FYI, the tarantula keeping community has generally shifted away from keeping the Chilean rose hair (Grammarstola rosea) as a beginners tarantula. Lots of people find their specimens to be more temperamental and aggressive compared to other species. Brachypelma hamorii (formerly B. smithi) AKA Mexican red knee has become the new stereotypical beginner's tarantula. It's important to note that every specimen has a unique temperament. Any species can be aggressive, and some infamous species can have docile specimens. I don't necessarily recommend handling, but if you choose to handle your spider, always test their mood with a soft paint brush and watch their body language. Never handle your spider if it is skittish or in a threat pose.

[@whomst-d1556]

Would I be able to see with a doctor if I'm allergic to tarantula venom? I'm not allergic to anything else, so I am a small bit afraid that tarantula venom might be the one thing I'm allergic to.

[@ADRIEL296]

To keep it simple, another good one is a Dachshund dog tarantula. It requires a leash, dry food, and to take him/her out 3 times a day. Finally, on Halloweens, let him/her rock out their Halloween costumes!

I ended up getting a pink toe (our first T) for my daughter that she absolutely loves. We both held for the first time after about a week of allowing her to adjust to her new enclosure. She can definitely be quick when she wants to be but is a sweet and fun terantula to handle and watch.

[@myreptiles4502]

Getting a red striped pink toe one question do pink toe tarantulas bite if a little scared?

[@houyeet]

no, just don't handle it roughly, all tarantulas CAN bite but usually don't. If you ever need to pick it up, use something to push it from behind onto your hand. if they flare their front legs up, just leave them alone.

[@myreptiles4502]

[@berthuizr7358]

If we have a shot down because of covid-19 what do you suggest we should feed our pink toe tarantula?

[@headrockbeats]

Spiders that are reluctant to bite. That sounds quite awesome. The only problem is, no way I'm going to handle any insects to feed to them. I usually let spiders roam the house so that they can kill insects for me, so that I don't have to run into those insects in the first place!!

[@headrockbeats]

-Did you even read my OP? Or perhaps you woke up this morning and decided that you really wanted to tell the world about how spiders are not insects, and chose a thread at random to do that on?- The person I replied to has apparently retracted their comment.

[@wampaAWESOMEsauce]

Well if you feed it crickets, you dont have to worry about biting and you can use tweezers or some kind of device to pick them up (sounds mean but you are killing them anyway so you know, ....not that mean,).

[@headrockbeats]

wampaAWESOMEsauce Not worried about biting, insects just give me massive creeps. I like mantises, but I certainly won't feed them to a spider. Most other insects are... yeeeccccchhh.

[@chattacoochi]

Headrock You're scared of crickets? Really?

[@headrockbeats]

Kaylyn Z Most insects. It's not a rational fear, can't help it. Something about the way they move, like I feel they're going to jump around and get under my clothes or whatever. That's why the bigger omnivores scare me because of the erratic movement. If I see a cockroach, for instance, I have to suppress the urge to scream like a little girl, and then run to get the insecticide - and I don't relax until I am 100% sure that it's dead. :/ Big arthropod carnivores though, and especially the slower and deliberate ones, don't scare me at all. I love spiders, mantises, crabs, etc. Scorpions are obviously scary, but for completely different reasons (around here, they will kill you).

[@luisrosario3781]

this guy has balls... and proper experience.

[@goldpieceleo]

Luis Rosario actually he's not that expert. The way he grabbed the desert tarantula is a no no for an expert breeder. New world tarantulas has urticating hair that they will flick if they got startled and you know best way to startle a tarantula is by grabbing them like that. The sponge in drinking cup and about the heat pads he was recomending is actually bad for tarantulas. Tarantula doesn't need heat pad because it can cause them dehydration and if your comfortable with the temperature usually most tarantula is also comfortable with that temperature. All the tarantula breeders I know don't use heat pads. Tarantulas unlike mammals only breed if they are really healthy and well taken care off.

Mexican red knees are pretty notorious for being docile and slow, so you could handle it. If you do, though, just remember that a fall of just a foot can be lethal to the spider. overall, handling puts unnecessary stress and risk on the animal, as they don't need social interaction. Handling is solely for the owners benefit.

[@shoganflamemasta3975]

So if a want to raise a spider does it have to always be a tarantula specie? Aren't there other as safe options? Btw, I really want to know this. Could I capture one of the hundreds of spiders there are in my house and take it as a pet? I would be saving mony. The problem of course it's the identification of the spider, I'm no enthomologist and have no clue about spiders yet. I have very tiny spiders that eat the ball insects, I don't know what you call them in english or if they are common there. They are similar to a centipide but much much smaller, and roundy, when they fear something they curl up into a ball. And then I have considerably big spiders in some places, I never got to see them eating, or hunting would be more appropiate, and what seems to be the bigger of them all, I never got to see more than her long black legs peeking from her house. I have spiders everywere, I'm looking at a little one in a corner right now as I write this comment, it just seems a waste to buy one.

Thank you Jungle Bob!

[@paigewoods4217]

I saw a grey tarantula at the pet store, it was fairly small, but its abdomen was a bit fat. do you know what species this is?

[@afrobuddha1062]

Hey Howcast, Jungle bob can you do a video about Mexican red leg tarantula. My son wants one but Im afraid if its dangerous?

[@kev48584]

it's very lethal, it can kill within minutes

[@sara769075]

Don't listen to Kevin- listen to the experts!

[@chattacoochi]

They're great for beginners, and won't bite unless you REALLY get them upset, which is kinda hard to do unless you throw it or something. Instead of biting, they have urticating hairs that they'll flick at you, which can cause redness and irritation to your skin. I really recommend them though!

[@joshfaiola7914]

Wow, that Palamino Blonde is absolutely stunning. I try to buy one from shops or online but i see Desert Blonde or Arizona Blonde, are those the same thing?

[@daviedipper770]

Yes

[@marksinclair2592]

I have a TX Brown tarantula, super docile and easy to handle, although I don’t keep a sponge I keep a small little pitri dish type bowl for water

[@JustDontGetIt]

02:08 "a ten gallon tage." Lmao he got tongue tied

[@buggirl1015]

Can you make a video on how often and how much to feed tarantulas

[@michael3115]

I’m getting a turantula and I have three choices the Mexican red rump the Honduran curly hair or the pink toe wich one would be the best for handling a lot

[@MidgarZoloms]

The past couple of days I've had a huge interest in tarantulas

[@wolfiecoaxe242]

I have a question can u put a bowl with a little water but with a sponge in the bowl so that way it still gets water is that ok

[@authorJLAllen]

This is a great video, very informative. I've heard that the Rose is the best way to go. I used to have a fear of spiders when I was younger but now I would like to have one as a pet. Watching this gentleman handling them they seem 'harmless'* and even a little cute.

[@ProgressiveDiscussions]

I thought the Honduras Curly Hair is the most docile? Whats your take on these?

[@zackm.7072]

Progressive Discussions I own one, and he’s the sweetest thing ever.

[@Evan8787]

I love the zoo you got in the background

[@quag1481]

i’ve had arachnophobia because of tarantulas for a while but i started looking at tarantulas and now i want one
