Stromatapelma calciatum, the Feather leg Baboon egg sack removal and rehouse

[@Sarge80]

207 slings...no wonder the old girl was like hey a new home, ill let Dave take care of the little ones.

[@johnbrazell2433]

"Remember, Be Calm. Be Gentle and Love Your Spiders." And this can be the result. Great Job!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks John ❤️

[@julierobertson148]

Every one of the videos you've shown about supposedly hard-to-handle species is a testament to the effect of your respect on their behavior. I'm sure there have been less-than-publishable encounters but watching adults and babies respond to informed concern says a whole lot about proper husbandry. Love this channel!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

What you see is as it happens we dont edit the videos apart from pairing videos as they can be a bit long 😂

[@Hextac100]

I was actually holding my breath while you were moving ‘mum’. Well done 👍

[@daveslittlebeasties]

She is a good girl 😂👍

[@MrPsylocibine]

Hi Dave I am arachnophobic and for a few years I have proposed to learn about tarantulas; I have read quite a bit of their biology and taxanomics and I follow many tarantula related channels. Out of all the ones I've come across, yours is the best because you're not trying to put on a show about how dangerous they are or show feeding scenes or glorify attacking stances. On the contrary, you are showing that if one respects and loves their animals, handling tarantulas does not have to be risky. I really like that you always teach practical aspects about the biology and environment of each species. I'm still a long way from being able to hold a tarantula in my hands, but your channel is helping me a lot and my only regret is that I didn't find it sooner. Greetings from Colombia and sorry for my bad English.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Hi Daniel, im so happy you have found our channel and your enjoying the content we try and show a different side to these amazing creatures they dont need to be scary or frightening they are beautiful in there own right, I think your our first subscriber from Columbia I am so happy you have found us and your English is fine 👍👍❤️

[@BullyBonanza]

[@martink9481]

So far the most impressive "eggsack removal & rehousing" video, you're amazing sir! Not only when it comes to setting up the enclosures in a most lovely looking way, you also show us what "be calm, be gentle & love your spider" really is meant to look like. I believe this overall treatment of yours has a great impact on your spiders behaviour, as you were able to show us once more. But the best moment was, when you discovered the plot twist, hilarious! Share if you like the video, this man has deserved it.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks Martin, glad you enjoyed the video, and yes I was hoping the sack had not hatched and they was still in there 😂😂😂👍

[@MrCumstein]

I have to agree. It’s obvious that a calm and confident handler can make these so called “aggressive” species seem pretty calm.

[@kvjackal7980]

I'm convinced. Dave is a literal wizard. 😐

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Fearsome spider? Dave shows us how it's done. Upmost respect and Dalai Lama level calmness. ✌

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you Graeme, your support is very much appreciated 👍❤️

[@andyross2788]

What a beautiful looking spider. I'm told their venom is pretty nasty. One thing I've definitely got from your videos, is how intune you are to reading their behaviour when moving them

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Yes they are classed as Medically significant but its not going to kill you , and dealt with in the right way there is no reason why you should get bitten 👍

[@lucnadeau2821]

Wow ! Over 200 slings ! Must have been a hassle catching and separating those in groups. Beautiful female ! Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Cheers mate, they are all kept together for the first couple of months as long as theres plenty of food going in they are fine 👍👍👍

[@KimDeanable]

I am absolutely terrified of spiders, but i love your videos. I find them increadibly fascinating. Keep up the good work : )

[@UntoteLady]

Wow, that was an amazingly smooth rehouse. Thanks for showing again that the so called "aggressive" species don't have to be so bad if you treat them with respect. Also happy we got to see the babies because I think S. calceatum slings are the cutest thing ever! ❤

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Hopefully we are showing its not a fluke 😂 if treated well they do respond in a calm way 👍

[@terilynemarroquin8050]

Brilliantly done Dave. And as always Camera Ladies camera skills are spot on. All others that keep Tarantalas and spiders could really learn from you. Your skills are top notch but your personality and clear love of your Beasties makes the show.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks Marie, she is gorgeous 👍

[@taranchies1505]

Magic :O :D I am learning from your paint brush skills, to keep the brush with the spider (unless she turns round to confront it) as you guide her rather than moving the brush back and forth fast, if that makes sense. At first I'd move the brush back quick after every touch just in case there was an attack, but I think in doing so my movement was making the spider more scared.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

You are correct my friend its better to keep contact at all times 👍👍

[@OKbeingdifferent]

Awesome babyremoval!😆 your reaction was great. The handling was quite thrilling as you bring her up after breaking cocoon. Mom's feeling very well with you and you know there unique behaviors well enough to jandle them perfectly. I learn how and where things want to move by try getting them down of my hands and not into my sleeves or arms.😂 many little pilots around this time of year. They crawl always up.. as bees and most bugs do. Isopods and grounddwellers try to hide where ever they can. Trees are good to get rid of both. Colorration gives a hint too. Greens like leaves to step on. Flying insects take them often too. That way you can get them to safe spot with less stress and injurie for you and the animal. 👍 great job as always. You know your babys.
