Theraphosa stirmi Egg to Spiderling development

[@katiewenta]

I am completely terrified of spiders…. And yet I find myself completely delighted by this channel and this video in particular! I learned so much and have a much greater appreciation for arachnids thanks to you!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thats awsome so glad you enjoyed it and welcome to our channel 👍❤️

[@conniepocowatchit926]

I’m also afraid of spiders, but watching Dave’s videos have helped me so much. I don’t kill any spiders that I find in my house any more, I catch and release them away from my home. I also have found some baby spiders that I caught and I’m feeding them small fruit flies.

[@vickiclark1998]

This is exactly how I got started in the hobby!

[@debs1042]

Me too 😅

[@markstone918]

"They look like the facehuggers." So true Dave!

[@Kageoni187]

I have been thinking that since I saw my first eggsac video lol

[@Kirbyroth]

imagine getting face hugged by those beasts

[@faiswone8147]

Ahahahaha , one of my good good mates and 50% of the reason I own a T myself is because of his T.Sturmi which really was called facehugger before she passed. ( happy note he has a female called ripley now )

[@judz567]

I say nuke the site from Orbit, it's the only way to be sure/

[@trustymilkshake]

Well the facehugger was designed to incorporate people’s fear of spiders and snakes into one amalgamation.

[@gpalmer456]

Of all of the tarantula channels I’ve subscribed, I’ve found yours to be the most pleasurable. I really appreciate your depth of knowledge and thank you for your willingness to share it.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you and welcome to our channel my friend ❤️👍

[@tarantulamom1900]

What a lovely gift from Jen and Mike! Adorable babies!

[@LAUGHOUTLOUDPUPPETS]

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Glad you enjoyed it❤️👍

[@judygwen3977]

Your photography is phenomenal! And your videos are so informative. Thank you

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Really appreciate your support my friend ❤️👍

[@bst857]

I really do like this channel, you're great at presenting - informative and entertaining, and camera work is also very good, and can't forget the beasties who always steal the show :)

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much 👍❤️

[@kerryberger985]

Thank you for this very informative video on the growth of those eggs to slings. You answered my questions about the process of development.

[@mikhailman]

I have a major case of arachnophobia, and these videos are an amazing therapy. Informative and well presented! For some morbid reason i find these creatures absolutely terrifying, yet fascinating.

[@blokesfireup]

This might be the best vid you've made. Deserves more than 23k views.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Feel free. to share it 😂👍

[@emmaknoop7442]

This was soooo informative I didn't actually know that the egg becomes their abdomen Absolutely incredible footage & information Thank u so much

[@MsMama59]

It's amazing that you can see so much detail in them; the hair , fangs, eyes & spinnerets! That's awesome!!!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much!

[@guttersludge]

it’s CRAZY how different they look when they first start hatching vs the way they look as adults. loved seeing this process i’ve never seen it before

[@heleninglis9961]

Incredible footage there Dave. That tiny threat pose was the cutest thing ive ever seen! What a little attitude lol This heatwave is killing me too, here in Scotland we're certainly not used to these temps 😂🥵🥵🥵

[@gemmamorgan4847]

Great video! Richard recently added a video showing a tarantula lay her eggs and make her egg sac. This is almost like a continuation on from that. Lol. I never thought face huggers could look so cute! X

[@deborahmchugh5126]

Jackson OHIO, nice sign. This was my first time seeing spider eggs, too spiderlings. All of the intricate changes was absolutely amazing. Nice job camera Lady. Thanks Dave and Steve. Take care.

[@daniellewithey6154]

I was thinking they looked just like face huggers and then you said it! Hilarious! Excellent video Dave 👍

[@paraspider1]

OMG! Very nice records ! Thank you so much Dave! 👍😉

[@mtripp09]

Love this video! Great educational content, as always. Would love to see more like this with other species. Also, would love to see even more growth from sling to mature theraposa, like first feeding, etc.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

So maybe a 5 year project 😂👍

[@tammycampbell2491]

Truly amazing!!! Learned bunches from this video. THANK YOU DAVE!!!!!!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Glad it was helpful!

[@reptiletailz108]

This is absolutely stunning footage I can not wait till I'm in a position to be able to try my hand at breeding I'm super lucky that I do actually have a local reptile store near me a small mom and pop type place who has been buying anything I've bred thankfully Bec it's given me the opportunity to truly try my hand at breeding without being concerned I did end up getting extremely sick and thank God they were able to take the majority of the baby's I had with the lizards Bec they need way more space then tarantulas which is a big part of why I am totally smitten with the hobby that I once was petrified of !! And I'm super grateful for urself and a few others whom take the time to post things like this that has allowed me to go from scared to absolutely fascinated

[@lauriebradley8295]

Love how furry they are as slings. So cute. Thanks. Good educational video.❤️👍🏼🥰

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🤗

[@JohnnysCafe_]

Absolutely fascinating and beautiful camera work 👍

[@terilynemarroquin8050]

Love the new Beastie plaque! Very interesting video.

[@shawnariley3518]

Amazing video, I’ve never seen documented stages like this. Y’all are on your way up! so happy for you guys, it’s well deserved with the work and education you put into your videos

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much 👍❤️

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

This is a great video. I was wishing for these pictures. Continue with this development process. Over the top plaque!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you! Will do!❤️

[@TimeIsMine93]

Its really amazing how quickly they grow into their abdomen and start getting those spider proportions. Imagine growing that fast and how much energy that takes

[@keithwoodbridge1220]

I introduced a gorgeous little GBB to my collection of two today, thank you so much for all of your advice, I knew nothing about tarantulas 4 weeks ago....it made the process a whole lot easier, my one has got a whole load of attitude, but I was gentle and only got a small dose of hairs .... your experience really shows with the big adults .... fab channel...

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Welcome to the channel and the hobby now open your mind to the wonders that are in front of you ❤️❤️❤️

[@thecatsmeow9972]

I can’t get over the one doing the threat pose. Wow his personality shines thru! love this video , very informative

[@awetistic5295]

Somehow, the EWL become even cuter after their first molt! These gummy worm legs, the tiny fangs and spinnerets, the hint of fluff on their abdomen... too adorable.

[@CindyHuot]

Dave thank for sharing the progress with the eggs, I have never seen it in so much detail before!! Loved it!!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

So nice of you

[@Cristian-vm1bg]

incredible. dont know much about spiders so watching what they look like as infants to the final development stages... the massive changes from one stage to another is miraculous. nature is crazy.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️❤️👍

[@rkhnd51]

Well, another good start to my day. LOVE that sign and I did have my eye on it. You could see their cute little claws, too. You wield your paint brush like a Meistro!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

😂😂😂❤️

[@wayneunderwood3886]

Even as nymth's you can still tell that there from the theraphosa genus brilliant video. 👌

[@lildkk]

Incredible seeing the differences in each little sling 🥰 so fascinating thank you Dave

[@susannesamuelsson2930]

Very nice plack and wonderful informative as well as interesting video! Thank you Dave and Camera Lady, hugs 🤗❤ Susanne.

[@noahroy7313]

Awesome video Dave! So cool to see how they progressed through 2 months! Outstanding stuff Dave! I really like the Beastie sign!

[@a.t.nelson1670]

That was so cool. I have never seen a video that details the egg to sling time like that. I had no idea it took, or could take, that long. I really loved hearing Camera Lady laugh at your "Laid an egg" comment. She does such a good job I sometimes forget she is there. Thanks for sharing your beasties with us.

[@albarosewilliams7443]

Laid an egg? You are too cute lol! Outstanding video! Do you have that little explorer? Hope you had a cold one after all that. Thank you for this and all your videos. You and Camera Lady make a great team.

[@krissykolorjunki5304]

I just found this video that says it was made at least 1+ year ago. I really loved it! Its fascinating to see this almost daily change from eggs to spiderlings and I would love to see more of these type of videos. As many as possible! Thank you to both of you for all of your hard work in creating the films, and sharing your passion for arachnids to the world, with genuine love.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you ❤️👍

[@wanderwurst8358]

Another very instructive document for the spider world. And even in 1080p. 🤗 Thanks again to both of you and keep up the good work. 👍

[@bucketofstars]

I love your channel so so much. I never thought I would be into wholesome spider content but here I am watching your videos everyday.

[@FrostbiteRep]

Another great video, also love it when camera lady gives you a hard time lol

[@daveslittlebeasties]

😂😂😂😂😂😂👍

[@tagesvaterpatrick8780]

"...think we keep that one for ourself, we do like a spider with an attitude" this really narrows it down what I love about your channel... btw, I love the (new) sign in the background!

[@stum8551]

Fantastic channel. Everything is informative and done with thought and passion about the animal and subject. Another brilliant video

[@thecatsmeow9972]

Yes indeed ❤️

[@courtneylescallett6281]

Thank you 😊for that awesome video. To be able to see them grow was so cool I've never seen a video like that before so thanks again 💗the channel Dave and Camara Lady.

[@mikewinings4120]

Face huggers,that is a perfect comparison, absolutely love it!

[@markstone918]

Congratulations Dave!!!!

[@DamianBloodkil]

Spiders as freaky as they can be sometimes are so fascinating biology and growth wise.

[@drewsully421]

The close up vids are fascinating, such a cool life cycle for Ts. Baby face huggers! Nice work Dave!

[@Chris_Toop_Tarantulas]

Thank you for sharing Dave a brilliant informative video!

[@doublehelixe2616]

Never been one for spiders, but found this transition video of their development interesting. reach out too Ants Canada im sue the guy will love your substrate being packed with spring tails. he also keep spiders

[@Vivianvixxen]

Thank you so much Dave and the misses, for this perfect little insight

[@daveslittlebeasties]

😂😂😂😂😂👍

[@crazycatlady68]

I can say without a doubt this is one of the most fascinating videos I have ever seen. Well done Dave and Camera Lady!!! Would love to see more with different spiders! They could be part of a new Progression Series!! I wanted to save this for the weekend but just had to watch it now. Glad I did. Again..job well done!! Stay cool!!

[@MegaMesozoic]

Love those eight little white carpet slippers on each sling!

[@jonothanpanaino3967]

Absolutely beautiful Dave! Their development is almost mystical..you know how I feel about the species so it was extra special for me to see..thank you for posting this video

[@ryanstenzel1760]

Whoa, check out the new lights! Sweet, Dave!

[@JPsPetNation]

I was just about to say that lol. I love the new lights ..

[@mattbodee6326]

Nothing better than a new beastie video before starting work 😁

[@keithwoodbridge1220]

I'm loving the Beastie Room's new sign, it looks awesome... I agree, "marvellous little creatures", another fascinating insight into their development, thank you.. when will we see your footage on a BBC documentary 🤔

[@daveslittlebeasties]

You never know 😂😂👍

[@20PINKluvr]

Omg the slings are hairy hairy!! Wow! They look like those crown of thorns starfish.

[@sharonfloyd3101]

That was so amazing to watch them develop from eggs to slings that was so beautiful to watch

[@lucnadeau2821]

Incredible, incredible footage ! Gives me an idea of what to expect if I ever do get around to breeding Ts of my own. Also, that plaque is awesome ! It would bring a smile to my face too ;) Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

[@tgk3624]

That sign is well nice. Thank you for another great video 👍

[@devindestafeno7869]

What incredible video!! Makes you appreciate.What each tarantula in the hobby goes through, To become the tarantulas we all love!!

[@swerdna77]

Wow what a fantastic video! Absolutely loved it. Very interesting to see the different stages. These are one of my favorite tarantulas. Very cool sign as well. That was very nice of your friends to have it made.

[@AmberOConnor-c2w]

I think I have found one of my very favorite videos from you guys. Amazing and fascinating to watch. 😊 truly brilliant

quality quality video again with all the information, brilliant PROFF. well done camera lady. after this heat you both need a beer. the new light is a fitting gift. thanks guys

[@heatherjones6490]

Great video! I enjoyed seeing the progression of eggs into slings. Gorgeous sign!!

[@georgecardiff1946]

Fantastic video Dave, very interesting and informative 👍and absolutely brilliant to see, egg to sling stage, truly super viewing, well done to you and camera lady.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks George ❤️👍

[@Cattrix999]

Wonderful video! To bad so many of the eggs didn't develop but the ones that did look great! Nice piece of art for your Beasty room :) The little fangs being flexed in the early stages of the babies were amazing to see. Ts and spiders in general are such a marvel, most people have no idea what an amazing creature they are.

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

It's fascinating the egg actually becomes their abdomen!

[@dizzysspiders4414]

I was thinking to myself before you even mentioned that sign, wow that looks cool, wicked video as usual 🤘

[@angielovesowls]

I hate that so many were infertile but thankful for the ones who survived ! You do such an amazing job with the videos and the handling of the delicate little slings. ❤️❤️❤️

[@BethanysSpiders]

Really enjoyed this Dave!! Never heard of a spider laying an egg 🤣🤣🤣 also love the daves little beasties sign in the background! I need one 🖤

[@daveslittlebeasties]

It’s really cool 👍

[@mirandasmith4424]

absolutely loved watching them develop. i have yet to see this so up close from eggs to spiderling from any other youtuber. another great video!!

[@SinkEmQuicker]

At around the 8:05 mark it was really interesting to see hairs on the abdomens already and the middle nymph half way through moulting. Sounds like you could do with an ice bucket to stand in, bet your tropical Ts are loving this weather though! Amazing video as always

[@gorathsghost6475]

Awsome! Another vid I definitely wanna watch with my fam! Great job Dave!!

[@stevenA44]

I have to say that I really did enjoy seeing the progress from the egg to the slings. I have wondered about how long it takes for that process. Sad that all of them didn't develop though, but what cute little furry spiders they ended up being. I just kept smiling when they would move.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ingok.]

Nice to see , the little eggs with leggs

[@keithboardman7679]

that was well worth a watch really enjoyed seeing the stages in which thay grow ,that's why I allways get slings rather than juveniles or adults now I can't wait for my p.metallica slings to come cheers dave

[@rawdawgpendants5490]

My hats off to you sir. Your knowledge to the tarantula community is very appreciated.

[@rustigreen3534]

absolutely loving your videos. Once again, being from New Zealand we dont really have any large spiders. We have the Avondale spider found in Auckland further north, I believe was featured in the movie Arachnophobia. Probably the most venomous spider we have is the White tale which is tiny compared to what you have. Have you ever been unfortunate enough or close to been bitten by any of these beautiful creatures?

[@daveslittlebeasties]

No I have never been bitten im very careful 😂👍

[@WaltRBuck]

I love how you keep the extra eggs until you're 100% sure. On Snake Discovery they say with their reptile eggs, "Incubate till there's no debate." lol It's a silly saying, but good to practice.

[@sambutters2063]

Interesting? Understatement and typical of your modesty! It was absolutely amazing and shows the marvel of nature at its best! Loved it Dave. Never seen anything like it. Your experience shining through. Bloody time wasters though. I'd be captivated and loose hours lol Thank you xx

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Wow, thank you!

[@Alecsweet3057]

Dave, this is amazing, how nature works with insects and creatures and animals, I mean I do believe that spiders are misunderstood this was really really beautiful and how you explained everything was awesome thank you so much educating us. I've never knew this or even seen it for that matter and now that I have I understand I'm a little bit more can't wait to see you what's next on your channel thank you so much... Cheers
