Rehousing our Monster Japanese Funnel Webs

[@dylantrinder1571]

Love your vids Dave and Camera Lady. I know it’s a big ask, but is it possible to set up a camera and do a timelapse video of these funnel webs actually webbing up their enclosure?

[@biggtrux]

Watched the video and gave you a like, Dave. But not gonna lie, these terrors are my least favorite of your beasties. Nightmare fuel! Keep up the good work!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks for the like my friend ❤️👍

[@LM-gc6pk]

Thank you for a great demonstration on how to observe and 'read your spider'. Every posture and movement tells a story, and each spider was different. You know a lot about their behavior and can anticipate their reactions; you make it easy to understand. This was a fascinating video.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Glad you enjoyed it!❤️👍

[@lurkmoar3926]

💡8:52 "Look at that for a beautiful spider. Absolutely stunning." Dave. That thing is a horror.

[@FreeMahee]

Here in Australia, the Sydney Funnel-Web spider is the most dangerous and they are super aggressive. Very scary spider. Those Japanese Funnel-webs are crazy big. I'd move out if I lost that in the house 💀. You have nerves of steel! Facts!

[@arctica7170]

"She is not being terrible" *meanwhile, the spider chomps away at the brush. Moody, that one. :D

[@daveslittlebeasties]

She was very mild mannered 😂

[@laurendavis9531]

I need to remind myself to breathe during some of your videos, I was starting to turn purple.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

[@chipflux]

it is fascinating to me how this spider displays crab leg joints on its carapace.. its like a crab left the water and grew an abdomen to carry its water around . nice spiders :)

That is one thing I noticed, was the fans are very big, I also love the shininess of the spider. Very cool thank you for your video.

Awesome, this is a spider I've been following on this channel for a while now. Thanks for the update Dave.

[@DaBlackSuperSaiyan_G.o.D]

Dave, I really love and enjoy your videos. I've gotten into the hobby of Tarantula keeping because of you and your experienced advise. I now own 4 Tarantulas all because of the courage of being able to keep and maintain them. Thank you Dave for all that you do and helping those of us who wants to get into the hobby but didn't have the knowledge or courage to do so.

Thats awesome my friend and thank you for your kind words ❤️👍

One thing I've learned from DLB is that spiders don't wanna leave home. Well, maybe the males sometimes, but generally they don't. :-) Nice video.

[@elizabethdurocher8308]

Loved the last one who decided to sit on the top of the bark💙

[@Jeremiah_Johnson139]

That was pretty gutsy, putting the water dish in by hand with the one that was already agitated, Dave!

Your collection is so beautiful I just got 10 more slings of all different species of tree dwelling spiders and hati hati plus some different Mexican species of tarantulas. I.m now up to 68 tarantulas soon I'll have a tarantula room like you 😅

They are so menacingly beautiful. I agree it can be a blessing when a super fast spider gets defensive.

Good job on the rehouse Dave and Camera Lady! They are beautiful spiders and maybe one day we will have babies.

Absolutely beautiful spider. This one is on my wishlist 100%! Watching this video thought I had a cricket loose, then I realized it was on the video.😂🦗

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Enjoyed this rehouse. Was one of these the cheeky one who gave you the great chase behind the desk? I am interested in a few days' follow-up of webbing and feeding. Enjoyed the M.balfouri videos. They are pretty little spiders.

[@Hayley0412]

I’m not going to lie those buggers frighten the poop out of me! I think they are stunning to look at, I love the black ones, huntsmen frighten me to death I think it is the teleportation they just appear from one side to the other side of the enclosure before you can blink! I love the variety of your collection, I do miss the T seladonia they are so beautiful, when one your egg sac hatched she had so many babies and she keep closing her little hatch with her back leg, you were in love with them, once I get more experience and rob a bank I will be getting some! What are the most expensive spiders? Really great video I do like rehoming videos! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Awesome update! Dunno if you have any grasp of the world of boxing, but if you ever name one of these, Naoya, or Inoue, would be a very fitting one!

[@corinnakl]

I upgraded the homes of 1 Brachypelma Boehmei, 1 Brachypelma Hamorii and 1 Pterinopelma Sazimai today in the way you do it and it went calm, in order and stress free for anyone 😂. I transferred the Brachypelma Hamorii into a kind of transport cup and she walked in it very gently and did not not move while I moved that cup over to her new larger enclosure.Amazing . (To general readers: don't copy please- i have a degree in animal behaviour and have had over 40 years of experience in observing behaviour and would not have done it that way if I would have seen any unsettled reaction in her.She was calm walking into the cup, didn't moved a limp while sitting inside and being gently moved into the larger enclosure and walked out calmy.)

[@Edward..de..lanndo]

Absolutely stunning spiders.... Great clear camerawork... And very informative.. I don't think i need to follow anyone else, i do, tho, to support other keepers...but i like the way your videos are made...thanQ.

[@julierobertson148]

Dangerous but oh, how beautiful! They look like enameled jewelry. Obviously they flourish under your care. (Your experimenting with various size and configuration enclosures is very interesting. So often what we "know" about anything is just somebody's opinion. I like the way you keep the animal in mind and watch how they deal with different homes.)

Thanks for another great Macrothele video!

[@PlecsExotics3]

[@MetalTheologian]

Good to see an update on the funnel webs! Regarding how a few just naturally perish, and that's just the way of things, there's an analogy among us record collectors: Of course we like to keep our records in good condition, but when I hear people fretting about some tiny blemish in the vinyl, I like to tell them, if you've never dropped a record before, you're bot a real collector!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Absolutely!

[@DragonflyArtz1]

This one reminds me of several lines from the movie "Arachnophobia." Mostly where he says "Most people have that switch in their brain that helps them overcome their fear of Spiders, I don't have that switch!" I know I shouldn't fear them, I know. But my body doesn't listen to my mind. It is ready to run. Watching you is really the only way I'd want to observe them.

Really appreciated you saying that about spiders sometimes just not being destined to reach adulthood, I never thought of it that way, but you’re right! At least now if I lose one of my Ts, as a newer T keeper, I won’t beat myself up about it.

[@pauln6803]

Asian Macrothele species are known to be in what's known in the hobby as "medically significant". But there are no confirmed deaths. May 2000, a four- year-old boy was bitten over left middle toe by a hidden spider in his shoes when he was wear- ing them. About 10 minutes later, severe pain over left foot and muscle cramping over left lower leg with mild claudication were noted. There was an obvious red line extended from the wound to inguinal area and abdominal pain was also noted. Two hours later, general weakness, poor appetite, drowsiness, drooling, vomiting and chills happened. He was sent to emergency department ten hours later. Physi- cal examination showed tachycardia ,a target lesion over left middle toe and rigidity over left lower leg. Bilateral inguinal lymph nodes en- largement and mild abdominal tenderness were noted. Lab data showed leukocytosis and mild hypoglycemia. 10% Calcium gluconate, glu- cose-containing fluid, antihistamine and prophy- lactic antibiotics were prescribed. Patient was discharged under stable condition 48 hours later. The spider was finally confirmed as Macrothele sp. Yeah, no joke spiders, but that's not to say a bite can kill.

[@lurkmoar3926]

@@pauln6803Interesting and thorough, thank you for that! 👍

[@pauln6803]

@@lurkmoar3926 The subject of Macrothele venom almost inevitably comes up every time Dave gives us a update on his project, so I keep that on hand for the curious/hysterical comments! Really there's not a lot of information on medically significant spider venom unless it's the usual suspects such as Latrodectus, Atrax and Phoneutria, however I did read an article about Macrothele raveni venom being studied for its effects on cancer cells...

I always enjoy your videos Dave! And also the work of camera lady! Just a question regarding safety. Wouldn't it be safer to use a tool like long pliers to put the water bowl in tight plastic boxes? I was a bit concerned when you put the water bowl inside the plastic box, so close to the spider. I've seen 16" long duckbill nose pliers that are ideal for situations like this.
