Been KEEPING this TARANTULA for 5-6 YEARS.. Still don’t know what it is !!!

As the title states, I’ve had this particular tarantula, which I often refer to as “Unknown tarantula”, for I believe, over 3 years now. A friend of mine gave her to me without knowing what species she is. I’ve asked around but so far I haven’t got the right identification. No, it’s definitely, 101%, not a Thailand Black or Brazilian Black.
** This video was made purely for educational and entertainment purposes only.
If you’re thinking,
“Haven’t you already rehoused all these tarantulas into their custom enclosures?”Sharp eye - You are absolutely correct! However, I did film almost every rehousing of these enclosures, as requested by many.. and having a total of 99 enclosures, wouldn’t it be boring if I were to upload all 99 rehousing videos in a row, twice a week, Wednesdays and Sundays, for a whole year?
That’s exactly why you’re seeing this video now and more in the future - I’ve spaced out all 99 rehousing videos, that way there will be other content to watch as well :)

[@advertisingbreak8204]

The tarantula could be a Chilobrachys kaeng krachan or maybe Phormingochilus arboricola, there aren’t that many old world species with deep black coloration out there

[@avrg-doom-enjoyer-yz4td]

True

[@AquaFox155]

I agree with chilobrachys kaeng krachan - theyre larger but slightly smaller mandible size ratio. Also tends to be more actively defensive. The structure of her web around the edges of her enclosure also suggests this.

[@JTPlaysPoorly]

@@tl1519 Black Earth Tiger or black world tiger

[@marjorieinverts]

I agree with krachan, too

[@FancyNancyFr]

@@JTPlaysPoorly I thought Dark Earth tiger

[@Triston10011]

I love he said sorry to Ants Canada for freezing ants but their newest video on Ants Canada is pouring boiling water in a wild fire ant nest to wipe it out.

[@mellowj3llow69]

(for a good cause)

[@karloaquino6865]

That's a Chilobrachys Kaeng Krachan, one of my favorite Ts!!! 😍

[@bflo1000]

I does look like KK.

[@rebecca7081]

ohh you might be right it defo looks a lot like it ! hope he sees this

[@charlieg2557]

I would totally agree

[@kyleryznar6472]

That was my guess too

[@magnamalotyr77]

Why is Hella black though compared to other dark earth tigers?

[@ballsmcgee7783]

I just like your videos because they are calm, relaxing, and make spiders less scary too me. I'm using them to help with my fear of spiders by seeing them in a different light.

[@gliscor9892]

That’s definitely a Chilobrachys sp. Could be kaeng krachan, could be fumosus, could be saraburi, but definetly belonging to the selenocosminae sub-family and most likely a Chilobrachys

[@FancyNancyFr]

Don't know much about T's but compared to his Dark Earth Tiger this one looks pretty similar and definitely like that species

[@Jbarbs2100]

I’m so glad that 2 of my nature channels know each other (Ants Canada and Exotics lair)

[@6181green]

You don't watch dark den?!?!

[@CarliVala]

They have even sent each other gifts for Christmas, yeah. Also, I'd suggest you follow The Dark Den too. Lots of tarantulas, scorpions, centipedes and also a few loveable reptiles.

[@MrCookeemonster]

@@6181green Dark Den good

[@AspieGirlArianaHale]

Hey, there’s no shame on calling on expert help for identifying your T, you know? I know you’re really good with them, but even you don’t always know everything about the world of arachnids, so it’s good to rely on others sometimes. 🙂💖👌🕷

[@AspieGirlArianaHale]

By the way, I hope I didn’t come across as rude or mean (when I said about not knowing everything). I’m an “Aspie”, so I tend to say things that unintentionally sound bad sometimes, but I truly mean no disrespect. I just know it can be necessary to ask others for help when we find ourselves in a bind or when we’re grasping at straws in attempt to get things done. Some might consider that a weakness, but seeking knowledge we don’t have is actually one of the things in life that makes us stronger. 😊❤️💁‍♀️

[@debre6532]

I thought you worded that perfectly 👍🏼

There’s a lot of channels that I binge watch here and there but your channel I will always come back to. Hearing your voice is like coming home after being away… it’s super comforting. It’s so amazing to see how far you’ve come and I think it’s awesome. You should be really proud of yourself. Thank you for being here!

[@EarthChild9000]

I love your videos even if they arent action packed Tarantulas are just so neat to observe, precious in every way!

[@allygilmour6182]

Ask Daves little beasties. Super knowledgeable guy.

[@Desi-Jesi]

Definitely ask Dave… 🤍

[@SparkieGoth]

It's entertaining for me. I like it when the tarantulas co-operate for you. ❤🕷

[@WintonNight]

Such a sick pattern on the ab! Looks amazing whatever it is bro 👊🏻 I’m sure you’ll get your answer

[@nallelyfuentes7]

I’ve been subscribed for 3 years. Don’t own any tarantulas (yet) but I enjoy being informed. 😁

I'd love to see a tarantula tour! Just a quick lil walk through of all the species you have! doesnt have to be super detailed just a small tour would be really fun!

[@Senorodeo]

He’s done a few

[@robynwhitten7578]

WOW the tarantulas that don't coperate are actually being awsome and also I dont care how much action is in the videos I just like watching your videos 🙂

[@Issacisthecoolest]

Been watching your channel for 2-3 years noting gets old

[@annamosman5580]

So I used to be terrified of spiders but then I found your T watering videos and I loved watching them and seeing their different personalities. Have you ever had or thought about keeping little jumping spiders, to me they seem super friendly and gentle.

[@javiernicholasmuis8623]

Don't worry Mike the antscanada guy just poured boiling hot water over a fire ants nest. I'm sure Mike's not going to be upset if you're killing the ants so they don't eat your tarantula. You're all good mate

[@ravenschippers8267]

Yeah, if its out of necessity I don't think anyone would mind. I would honestly be surprised if anyone kicks up a fuss about either situation.

So do you keep them for a job or for a hobby?

[@lonedct8r817]

Angermaxus Tarantulatus. Angry Tarantula. Your enclosure.

[@oledahammer8393]

You should build a transfer table like "Dave's Beasties" has with those rails, so if they bolt they just hide under that ledge. Then you can put a mount on it for your camera\phone and be hands free!

I did A reverse Image search. That is a Theraphosa blondi. Or Goliath birdeater

[@davetapalla628]

not sure but i think this is a Grammostola Pulchra | Brazilian Black Tarantula or not

[@Spooder_lady_n_minis]

I think you're right. It looks like the same one that Tarantula Kat has

[@davetapalla628]

I was just guessing because its similar to what SchizoPelmaTV got

[@tiberius0716]

Ayy it's 8:26 rn But that's weird, i thought you knew almost every tarantula type? Or has it not been discovered yet? Bc i have no actual idea what it is too

Is there a roach casually sitting on the shelf at 0:56?

Maybe it's a lampropelma sp. Borneo black, because my friend has that kind is tarantula and I just asked what species of tarantula is that so yeah

[@theprogram3]

Poor death nugget😭 Did we ever find out how much he weighed?

[@SwitchTTS]

It indeed really look like a lampropelma nigirrimum.

I hope you find the species

[@karladurandt1156]

Can we have a room tour 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@chrissears5482]

I would say its a C. kaeng kraken. Maybe even a L. nigerrimum? Altho I think those are a little more fuzzy looking
