[@dhanipradigyoo9603]

Hi I'm From Sulawesi (Indonesia) I am very glad you visited our tarantula species.

[@kristinamiskulin2394]

Awesome!!! Thank you for all you hard (enjoyable) work.

[@jesseesser4940]

Great video of a gorgeous specis...!! Keep the vids comming, love them Ornithoctoninae!!

[@Laederon]

Awesome spiders and they breed easy in captivity so no need to poach them from nature

[@justinellis8864]

Thank you for posting this truly fascinating footage. Beautifully shot. a lovely species!

[@dersupra]

I just brought one of these home yesterday! Everything I've read says they are defensive and skittish...every video I have seen they are as calm as can be. Mine is probably only i3. I can't wait for this thing to grow! Beautiful spider.

[@t2tarantula552]

I like these nature type vids best of all well done lads

[@tarantulagirl]

Love your videos. To see these beautiful babies in their natural habitats is quite spectacular, thank you for sharing your remarkable footage. xxx

[@hubertvancalenbergh9022]

Magnificent spider! I'm surprised at the relatively small size of the abdomen.

[@TheTarantulaCave]

Beautiful finds - thanks for sharing!

[@bugsnstuff]

Thanks for the kind comments!

[@joshuahull9982]

bugsnstuff do you ever collect any wild tarantulas for breeding projects? I heard sometimes its necessary to add new blood because some species are highly in captivity. At least from what I've heard.

[@nickisuthers5946]

Beautiful spider in a beautiful setting.

[@bugsnstuff]

Most definitely!

[@sydneyhunt6681]

Hello am loving your work on KZbin just thinking do you know good places to find the 6 eye sand spider 🕸 in or around Africa 🌍 all the best buddy thanks

[@farrelm7728]

Amazing!

[@whiterosetarantulas3150]

Great video of one of my favourite sp. I don't I've seen mine for 20 minutes total in the 2 years I've had it!

[@bugsnstuff]

Bet it's worth it when you do see it though?

[@whiterosetarantulas3150]

bugsnstuff definitely 😉

[@MDCCLXXVI1990]

My all time favorite genus - Phormingochilus. Carpenteri is highest on my wishlist and I have a few of them on their way.

[@apss5736]

beautiful spider

[@janetfox4569]

Aren't you afraid handling a wild spider like that isn't going to bite you

[@bugsnstuff]

Most spiders settle down when out of their retreats.

[@exopet1777]

Where is spesifikly location in south sulawesi indonesia?

[@evscope]

I have a female in my collection with a leg span about 22cm.

[@joshuaread1563]

Hey lads. Different species but I just bought a 3” lampropelma nigerrimum “Sangihe island black”. It looks to have a faint tiger stripe abdomen and a cream carapace. I’m thinking it’s the wrong species bc it’s not all black or are these possibly juvenile colours. Let me know if youve got any idea about this. It’s looking like some cyriopagopus to me. Thanks!

[@bugsnstuff]

Could be an immature male?

[@Raaaaay.]

It's that cyriopagopus sp. Sulawesi black (north/mid sulawesi)? Founded 2012 with 2 another species cryriopagopus sp. Hati hati (south sulawes) cyriopagopus sp sumatran tiger? Im tarantula keepers from indonesia. But now, i dont know the species name changed or not

[@bugsnstuff]

It's P. carpenteri

[@Raaaaay.]

@@bugsnstuff oww, thanks for info and ur love.

[@mainemade300]

Looks actactly like my C pagunus same makeing an all Except for the extra pads on there frount legs an my C pagunus is a terrestrial likes to make a burrow,

[@StickyRig]

Was the last specimen around maximum size? I’m asking because I’ve heard females can reach nearly ten inches

[@bugsnstuff]

Although large, we can't say whether or not it was fully grown.

[@StickyRig]

@@bugsnstuff thank you so much for the reply, even two years after the upload. Really says a lot. I’m curious because I bought a sling recently and I loved the idea of having a ten inch, jet black beast

[@stephenbrand5661]

How are you guys able to determine gender so easily? The tiny abdomens and long front legs on some of those made me think they looked like males and I know a lot of keepers can’t tell until they have a molt to look at.
