That is a striking spider. The color scheme is awesome. I look forward to seeing it full grown.

[@Mellie_H]

She looks so much like a firery ember! Gorgeous little thing.

[@jenshelley4737]

What a lovely little spider! Very attractive! Good luck growing it up... If anyone can breed this species it'll be you Dave!!! Have fun!!❤❤

[@daveslittlebeasties]

That's the plan!🙏

[@bridgethoskins9809]

I really like that enclosure. Perfect size for a smaller spider and a person that doesn't have much space. Thank you for another great video. Really cool looking spider!!

[@judycook4314]

I like the enclosure simplicity - it lets the lovely spider stand out.

[@heleninglis9961]

Perfect! Just got a sling in a spa spiders mystery box i bought during Scott's live. Ive wanted to get 1 for sooooo long but i could never justify the expense. My mystery box was epic, got the £100 one & in it was Davus sp Panama Theraphosa Apophysis Obt Usumbara Avic rufa brazil Thrixopelma sp golden blue Ive had so much trouble finding info on the Thrixopelma though. Ive just had to set them up using the others in the species an example.

[@blacktiger675]

Also, thank you for showing more of the New World spiders! They are so beautiful. This one in particular! 😊

[@charliemum]

I love this sp but i wouldn't say they were skittish... maybe when under an inch big but after that they are super sturdy and more curious like homoeomma, they are straight over to see whats going on but never in an defensive way , they are just really curious 😊 great upload Dave, Camera Lady 🖤🧡🖤

[@stevenA44]

Very pretty Tarantula. Caught my attention as soon as I seen the thumbnail.

[@shelleoshelle7252]

Beautiful spider. So happy that Gravity did not curse you for this rehouse.

[@adventuringchemist]

This was the species that really pulled me into the tarantula hobby. It was and still is my #1. My wife got me a few for our anniversary, and they are such a joy to see out. I really like the use of cork bark as a background like in an exo terra. I never considered that before, but will definitely try that out.

[@dawnt7950]

Oh that one is amazing!!! Love the flame legs!!!

[@maplevermont]

What a gorgeous spider and the webbing is absolutely spectacular as well. The reddish leading into the steely blue color of the legs. I love it! Gorgeous! Keep up the good work, Dave and Camera Lady!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jennym.2268]

She is one of the most beautiful spiders I have seen!❤

Another beautiful spider that I’ve never seen before. It will be interesting to see their growth documented at a later date. You make such lovely enclosures too! ☺️❤️

So nice of you 🙏❤️

[@freyasdottirx5894]

I love this channel .ty dave! I get to vicariously enjoy spiders even though i dont have any myself. Even my kitties enjoy watching 😂. I have some wonderful and funny spider stories from my time in the army.

[@Myriamele]

WOW! That is a gorgeous spider!!!! (which is one of the last things some of my friends would ever expect me to say, since I'm usually screaming and running away when I see one :D)

[@lcgiv4u]

One species I still really want!! Thanks Dave!

[@cindytapley596]

A very pretty spider

[@calliew311]

I'm getting one of these tomorrow! Fear Not in the USA are having a Halloween sale and tomorrow is the first day, one species and one per person per day. Can't wait, got that and already just bought a newly imported Stout Leg Baboon.

[@sydneyhunt6681]

I got 4 of them I love them I find them quite funny running around after food and making huge home for small spider and yes they love it damp 😅all the best buddy Martin 😅 ps bloomin long pre molt 😅

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with all of us. Fantastic camera work yet again Camera Lady❣️

[@daveslittlebeasties]

You are so welcome❤️

[@kirundo]

I've seen a female two years ago at the big Austrian expo, but they were just way too expensive... I got two slings half the size of yours off a German breeder a year ago, they're stunning! No thread poses, no hair kicking, they do play dead though I noticed. Can't wait for mine to grow bigger.

[@deewhitcha6014]

Stunning spider! Our Pumpkin Patch we got from you molted this week and is looking awesome! Very keen to get some more dwarf species for the collection!🕷️

Hello Dave and Camera Lady! Happy June to you. What a phenomenal video! I super enjoyed that. Such a pretty little spider. I look forward to the breeding program. Are you going to rehouse the other one? Maybe I missed that. Anyway, fabulous camera work CL! I could just about count the hairs on its little legs.😁 As always, it is good to see you both. Excellent content! Take care and have a lovely week! 💋🌼🏜️❤️🧡💛

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Yes the other will be rehoused too , hopefully they mature in quick time 😂

[@Indiskret1]

Beautiful spider! Seems quite calm too. How about some nice pumice stones? Would fit, wouldn't it? Maybe those can act as a moisture regulator too?

[@belindalaing7592]

It's bum looks extremely similar to the Trinidad Dwarf Tiger, very pretty spider fingers crossed that it's a girl for you 🤞🏻 Still loving your videos and watching as soon as they pop up Awesome work guys 😊👍🏻

[@DMcC]

I picked one up as a sling a couple of years back after getting some experience with a B. albiceps and C. versicolor and she's been very easy to care for and has grown well. A bit skittish, but I'd actually describe it as one of the calmest spiders I keep. She'll typically rehouse herself if you just ask nicely. I realize it varies, but mine has not been intimidated by prey fwiw...she's not screwing around where prey is concerned. It did cost me a bunch, but I got lucky and was recently able to sex her so she is, in fact, female. A very rewarding species.

[@kimberlyagreene343]

Hi Dave, suggest to the makers of the aquarium to make the top a slider top so it slides under the the ledge of the trim whichs also makes it more secure, then you could stack them?! I dont know if there is a safe way for you to do it with the ones you have without seeing them in person! Just a suggestion suggestion! 😊

[@r1verman]

I've had this species in my wishlist for awhile now. Will definitely be looking to purchase soon. My plan is to purchase multiple specimens to increase my chances of getting into breeding the more rare species.

[@heleninglis9961]

They've been on my list forever too, but i could never justify the expense, £60-£70 for a tiny sling 😱! but i got a spa spiders mystery box & i got 1 in there! Im over the moon

[@Hayley0412]

She truly is a beautiful little girl, that enclosure looks really beautiful she is going to love exploring her surroundings. I love how tarantulas keep one foot in the old enclosure before committing to their new homes! Would this spider be suitable for a beginner? Great video as always! ❤❤❤

[@daveslittlebeasties]

They can be delicate

[@repti_family]

Oooo I’d love one of those 😍

[@GeorgeCardiff]

Brilliant Dave as always, these are truly beautiful spiders 🕷 Dave,I've seen some videos about them in the past, they really are a wonderful species, anyway Dave that's another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Many thanks 🙏

I think those enclosures are very attractive - which I’m sure is somewhat less important to the spider.

[@MrBEAVERS76]

don´t know if it works but it looks like you can flip the lit over and handle will be inside the enclosure and give ops of stagging them put a small stump of wire in on corner to help get the lit up or just take 2 peace of wood just higher then handle or make a wood plad whit a slid fore the handle it just have to be a few mm bigger then the enclosure all around :) TY fore another nice one

[@scorpiothoughtsny]

Daveee! I have this lovely beauty. I had one that was a male that passed he was beautiful. Of course I had to get another one. Very hard to find.❤

[@staciewilson1183]

So glad to see yours doing well! We had a sling that didn't make it out of a molt, very sad. Expensive too, we definitely did research on the husbandry before purchasing, just unlucky. Very cool tarantulas though, we'll try again when they're cheaper lol

[@laurnakingsley6947]

Mine just ate yesterday after hiding for about 50 days. I’m sure it molted around the 1st week of May

[@julierobertson148]

Lovely markings on this one! I especially liked the flame effect on the abdomen. (Just a thought: Until you have more space, could you just invert the lid so you could stack the enclosures? With some kind of tape, you could make a temporary handle that could be forced flat when they're stacked and still have a way to easily lift the lid when needed.)

[@daveslittlebeasties]

There not safe to stack on each other unfortunately

Captive bread? Release that bread immidiately, due to the Geneva convention! Even bread has rights. Just pulling your leg.😉😄 Captive-bred are the best, since breeding the spiders ourselves, minimizes the pressure on the wild populations.

Very nice Dave!

[@AshLilyNeko]

was so excited to see this video posted! I have a lava spider, suspected female but haven’t confirmed with molts yet. im in the states so she was a bit pricey and I want to take the best care of her that I possibly can. thanks as always for the awesome video!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

That is awesome! good luck with her 👍

[@elinjens1]

Awsome little spider 🤗

[@ziggeri360]

Great video Dave. The D. panama is such a great looking spider. I love the dwarf species, they always seem to be great eaters and have little characters. Dave - in a previous video you mentioned about recycling the substrate, I've always been throwing mine away as I've read that the urticating hairs of the different species could affect each other. Have you ever had any problems? I would love to recycle instead of throwing it away and wasting the substrate. 👍

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I don’t use sub from bad hair kickers , you need to just look at it if it looks reasonable mix it in if it looks old and tired I throw it out 👍

If you flip the lid upside-down, you would be able to stack them. Opening them up again will be a bit of a challenge, but a piece of tape from the handle-side sticking up would solve that.

[@kennysweeney7073]

Great video guys thank you so much beautiful spider thank you xxxxx

[@dalton6157]

Why not turn the lid upside down so the handle isn't in the way so you can stack them and get a small suction cup to open and close them ?

Another beautiful tarantula, Dave! I'm curious; I know the males (generally) are fairly short-lived. But what is the average age of the female lifetime, across the tarantula genus?

[@daveslittlebeasties]

They all vary so much

[@nathannewton6737]

Man my mom wants one of these soooooo stinking bad it’s not funny but I can’t justify spending $280 for a sling!!! Thanks Dave love to know if I do get one how to keep it happy!!!

[@michaelsesler1158]

in this age of 3D printing, I believe it would be easy to create a printed frame that would allow you to stack them.

I found a dead spider clutching an egg sac in my pond. The egg sac looks perfect and I wondered if it will have survived and I can hatch out the spiderlings. Any thoughts anyone? Dave what do you think? ❤ thanks 🙏

was just watching this again and I have a question about breeding etiquette. if you borrow someone's male spider, what do they typically get in return if the mating was successful?

It Varys between breeders , I personally do not do breeding projects with others becouse its a minefield and not worth the grief that often follows , I prefer to do all my projects on my own 👍
