I've tried a few different ways of keeping these, all of which have been successful from a breeding perspective. The way in which I ended up ultimately keeping them is barebottom as I can keep them clean and harvest the ootheca from the frass easily. These ootheca are then set up in their own smaller enclosure, or hatchery if you will, with substrate and cardboard. This hatchery is then placed in the main colony, and mounted towards the top of the tote so that it stays warm and humid to encourage them to hatch 40 days later. As a fellow breeder, I must say it's an absolute game changer to have bulk pinhead lats already separated out from the main colony when you've got slings to feed. Cheers from the US.

I always learn new words watching you. Today's word is "ootheca". Also, since moving to South Carolina, I've been surprised to see how roaches *don't* infest. First time I saw an American cockroach the size of my thumb, I about lost my shit, but they really don't fare well inside the house, and neither do the little flying ones we get around here.

In the more northern parts of Europe, we're blessed by basically having no roaches and no ants inside. I had two forest-type roaches (Ectobius vittiventris) inside before, that's everything I've encountered. Those really don't like it inside though and just come inside by accident. I've literally never seen a "kitchen type" cockroach that could infest anything. Most feeders also require high temperatures to start breeding, so infesting isn't really possible. By the way, the "ootheca" isn't supposed to be pronounced that way, if you're scientific about it. It's just common for English natives to use the word like that. The Greek origin pronounces both o's seperately. It's from ωοθήκη (ovary), which uses an Omega and an Omikron to spell both the "o". Really nitpicking though, just thought I'd mention it.

The egg cases are a lot bigger than the bran bits, if you found the right mesh I bet you could sieve them out! I need to keep my roaches warmer. I am/have been switching away from offering water and just giving them vegetable scraps instead. Also good to know they won't infest my flat; I'd been practically treating them like radioactive waste. Probably still won't hand them out as cat toys like the crickets though.

Hello Dave and Camera Lady. Good to see you! Lovely informative video. Camera Lady-kudos to you for allowing Dave to play with his roach 🪳 colonies. Not sure I could do that. 😂😂 I do have some questions. First, how are the pretty emerald roaches doing? I would love to see them again. 2 - I’m not sure you explained why you use bran instead of just potting compost or coconut fibre. It seems to me that both could be effective at keeping them dry. 3 - Late last year you had that poor girl with the maggot infestation and I think you said something about them coming from the crickets. I could easily be mistaken in this but it did peak my curiosity. Am I correct with my memory?🤔. Anyway, it is always interesting to see your husbandry. You are so good at what you do. Thanks for sharing! Have a good week. See you soon.🤠🪳🪳❤️❤️💝😴

We have referenced your earlier videos on raising feeder insects over and over. Glad to know the same method is working for you. Would love for you to consider raising a cycle of crickets just to show the full process. We have tried multiple times with varied success, especially with trying to raise the pinheads separately. They either dry up and die off, or drown in the drops of water misted in the bin to keep humidity up.

Great to see an updated vid on this. I enjoyed your original vids on keeping redrunners back when I had 20 tarantulas and decided I wanted to keep a colony to save money as well as knowing exactly what they were eating and therefore increasing their health and nutritional content. Now I'm on over 100 fluffy ones I have a couple of large colonies and haven't bought live food since. Before converting one of my bedrooms into a heated spider room I struggled to keep the colony going and would have to top it up. But now the room is around 26 Celsius and with added heat mats, I find that they are self sustaining. Feed from one colony and let the others breed undisturbed then switch when numbers drop. I will certainly look into the new mesh you are using as I am currently using the plastic screening you used previously, although I find doubling it up does offer more protection from flies than a single layer. One question regarding the sacks of bran, what are the little beetles you get in the bran, and are they safe for slings to eat?

Thank you for your video, I sincerely enjoy all of your content. I used to keep Tarantulas in the late 90's and kept dubias for food which was a great convenience. The first colony I inherited was passed along with the advice to place a four inch or so coating of petroleum jelly at the top of the tub below the lid to mitigate the chance of escape. Do you think that was really a reasonable precaution? Appreciate your videos nostalgic and vicarious, truly enjoy your content:)

I was wandering how well you hatched the egg cases with your dry method . I started off that way a year and a half ago but didn't get much of a hatching thriving colony so I started giving them water drinkers as well as spraying them down and a jelly pot. They started to boom and I have set up nine other people with red runner colonies since then just to keep my numbers down . I also use a 7w heat mat on full blast . Admittedly mine do grow a bit too fast for my use since I actually prefer dubai for most things . But red runners are great for arboreal and mantis . Nice video .

Most females are mature when they reach 2/3 to 3/4 of their final size, but since that can be hard to gauge, your best bet is to wait for your female to moult and look at the spermathecae. If they are hardened and a solid dark colour, that means she is mature. Best of luck!

so what is a best terrestrial beginner spider?
@ClickClack_Bam

There are plenty. I love my Brazilian Salmon Pink Bird Eater. It's a giant Tarantula but what a great pet. It'll burrow if given enough dirt & it'll plug the burrow when in molt. Then when molted it'll open the burrow & hang out at the opening when hungry. IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER THAN THAT! You'll know 100% when it's hungry & when it's NOT. I consider it a crime to raise a tarantula that burrows but to NOT give it enough dirt to burrow completely. In other words 99% is these Tarantula channels are DOING IT WRONG.

Best is always relative. How old are you? How much do you want to see the spider? Do you mind having a spider with an attitude problem or are you okay with not too much interaction? Are you interested in fancy colors/behavior/size or something completely different? Are you a fan of lots of webbing? That'll give us in the comments a better picture to recommend a spider.

hi im total noob (except from the time as a kid i caught some jumping spiders on my wall and fed them in a jar. for a while) im recently getting more interested in these fantastic creatures and am toying with the idea of owning one. or two.. terrestrial as i wanna see it as it'll be a solitary spider collection. one thats easy going so a new world for temperament i think.. one that doesnt web too much and colours or hairs not too much of an issue@@rebel4466

@daveslittlebeasties I've noticed that some have mites on them. I've heard this is normal for them to have these mites on them, and they don't transfer over to the tarantulas is this true ?

I was that way at one point too so I can understand. Look into dubia roach. They don't smell. Once set up they're almost hands free. It DOESN'T get any easier to do. Actually my gf was who wanted to start raising them. I thought it was so off limits to even ask her that I never did lol. She asked me after looking into them.
