Handling Spiders the Beastie Way Top Tips

[@bhill6923]

Dave handles spiders better than some KZbinrs with millions of subscribers. They want the spiders to act defensive to dramatize it and bring in more viewers.

[@melissadanielle629]

Very true . They do it with reptiles too. Like "wow look at me handle this savage beast"

[@bernadettelinfoot]

I just love your videos and I have never seen an aggressive spider in your care. As a 71 year old new spider keeper I learn a lot from you. Thank you so much . I only have 4 and that's enough for me

[@daveslittlebeasties]

That’s awesome my friend ❤️❤️❤️

[@Ducatirati]

Yeah , I 2nd that !!

[@arctica7170]

I appreciate how patient you are with the spiders. Every other KZbinr I have watched who rehouse their spiders are pushing their spiders towards their new enclosure, seemingly not allowing the spider to release their grip on the surfaces. Also, thank you for the great tip about maintaining contact while directing them! I will remember this for when I need to rehouse my own tarantulas.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Glad your enjoying the content ❤️

[@cameronferriere9879]

This guy is criminally underrated!!! He doesn't play up drama or the T's reputation... just calm confidence. I am learning the hobby myself and this is the person I want to emulate. The less stress for the animal the the better things go. I am planning on getting some P. Rufilata and P. Regalis juries and raising em up the beastie way.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much my friend we appreciate your support, if your in the uk message me on Facebook we have good size slings of both pokies you mention 👍

[@Bloopie666]

Absolutely love the way you handled these spiders. I've seen so many keepers - some very popular ones, actually - poke and prod their spiders while rehousing. I strongly believe that the one thing missing with many, many keepers, is 'respect' for the animal. Frankly, even though they may know a lot about them, they have no respect for the animal itself. But on the other hand, you do. Not only are you a wealth of knowledge, but you also respect them for what they are as a species and understand their behavior thereby allowing them to be the unique individuals that they are.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏❤❤❤

[@sharkboy_twentytwo8155]

Never ceases to amaze me at how well the spiders react to you. No other handlers in the hobby get this result. They are almost 100% placid for you. Well done….👍

[@janicehonea7613]

I really love the fact that you respect the spider for what it is and I think then intern the spider respect you and you’re not trying to show dramatic display or to agitate the spider to make it more interesting for the viewer. I respect that you do everything to make the spider feel safe thank you Dave and camera lady. Wonderful work.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you very much ❤❤❤❤

This was the most professional and competent house move I've seen in awhile, it's entertaining watching other youtubers struggle but it's nice to see someone show that struggle is an unnecessary one.

[@TrashParty]

Honestly this video was so amazing. You conveyed the lesson so gently and precise. This reminded me of those educational shorts about animals I used to watch as a kid. You made spiders look like such gentle creatures compared to what our fears tells us about them. Great work.

Dave I gotta say…. I’ve been watching you for a while know-maybe 8 months to a year or so and one thing that impresses me (other than the sheer amount of spiders of all ages you look after) is the way all your vivs are set up. All the same size on each shelf and how they look inside. It looks fantastic. Very professional looking.

The Bible book of Genesis, describes the intended relationship between man and the rest of creation. (It's variously translated variously as subjection, ruler-ship, and dominion.) Watching you deal with your beasties epitomizes to me the essence of that relationship: knowledge, understanding, appreciation, planning, respect and love. The hobby couldn't have a better teacher.

Dave gives us ALL confidence, when it comes to rehousing. My Nelly molted Brachypelma emilia juvie has become rather flighty AND very fast. When she/he molts the next time, it WILL be the time for a new cage/enclosure! Spiders ARE pretty unpredictable in their way of moving, but there ARE things, that we can do. This is where Dave and his good wife come into the picture, with the No-stress-moving technique. Hugs from Copenhagen. 👋🙂

[@nataliezettler3710]

I have been binge watching your videos, they are so educational, and so far the best I've seen on youtube and I've been learning a lot since getting my first 2 Ts...Taking Massage Therapy course has taught me to always maintain contact with my client as to not spook them as they rest, therefore before I move to a different body part I keep one hand on the previous and remove only when my other hand has made contact with the new section... So, the fact that you figured that out with the paint brush is so interesting, and these little beings are just like us in some ways... My slings are in molt, and it's a been nerving. I keep worrying that it's taking too long and I have done something wrong. Their booties are big and shiny but its been a week and still nothing. They laid down the molt web, and refuse to eat. but I can't get any videos to find out the length of normal molting time. I get every species is different and age plays a factor but it still scares me that I'm not providing enough. Water bowl is full, ventilation is not intense, T Chevron is about an inch and Pumpkin Patch in dime size. I live in Canada, and T's are in the basement with normal heat and humidity, I'm comfy so I feel they are lol... If you could do a sling molting video, it would be much appreciated I can't find a lot on it. Thankyou for your amazing knowledge, and humor with Camera Lady lmfao, great team you both are.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Moulting and feeding is all related to temperature , most are kept too cool which means it takes longer in pre moult which means they dont feed for longer periods of time , try warming them up a little and you will see the change 👍❤️

[@raygay3375]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I’m VERY new to this hobby. Truth be told, my friend broke his back, and as his wife HATES spiders, I volunteered to spider-sit his b. boehemi. Since I have ZERO experience, I have been watching a multitude of different KZbin channels to get as much information as possible. I find you to be an excellent educator, whose passion for these creatures is apparent in the gentle and caring way you interact with them. Thank you again, from a California native!

Whatever it is you're doing with these spiders, it's like watching a zen master at work. Truly satisfying. The dark den is another channel that has some really amazing spiders. He's put small holes in the bottoms of his catch cups that he can put a brush through so he can coax them out without having to bring them in the direction of his hand. Even pros like yourself can pick up a pointer or two. Top notch video in any case.

I recently got into keeping tarantulas and most of mine are calm, new world species and still tiny slings. But I did get a P. irminia and since they are known to be quite fast and flighty, I have been nervous about rehousing, but this has reassured me greatly! I love the focus you put on staying calm and making sure the tarantula isn't too stressed either!

[@EarthsGeomancer]

I have seen so many people that think they are gentle during a rehouse that actually are not gentile. They man-handle the enclosures or move too fast with the brush. And then the spider ends up kicking hairs. This is usually driven by them being impatient. You have to be very patient and gentle when rehousing. You are doing it at the spider's pace and not your pace.

Am I not right?.. As I always say mate, you gave us another master class video of the how to's when interacting with our spiders, a Calibre of which is unmatched on KZbin...

Hey Dave maybe you could send this vid to Tarantula Kat to be helpful. Before you react, consider what i'm saying. you're a pro at this, and the way you deal with these guys is really a level above most others. The aforementioned creator is often freaking out, panicking, and stressing the hell out of her spiders with her reactions. Considering they have a very finite life dependant upon their energy reserves, this would be a HUGE benefit to the animals. I know the community is all huggy and super positive and no one wants to admit anyone does anything wrong, but this would really be a huge help and would be really considerate to the welfare of the animals. I think the quality of their lives may be a bit more important than her emotions. I recognize you will probably dislike this comment, but i also know that you love these animals and care about them so it should be said.

I really appreciate you showing these because I'm new to the hobby and have a sling that needs to be rehoused, and I'm nervous about it. He/she went straight into his first enclosure easy, and I did it just like you said, I kept contact and he just walked over. But now, he has a burrow and I'm a little worried about how to get him out. I'm watching you do it and it gives me a little confidence to know I can do it myself. I don't want my husband to help because this is my spider, and I want more, but if I'm afraid of it, he won't want me to get another one. I have a regular old curly hair, about 1.5 inch sling, maybe more if it's diagonal leg measurement, and I don't want to stress him or hurt him or scare him.

[@melissahardy434]

What a great video even for ones like me who aren't keepers. I do have to say Thank Goodness you ended up with these guys. The tiny tub that 6th spider was in looked absolutely criminal. I'm so happy for them that they've ended up with you.

[@brianduffy9757]

Your spoiling us with this video guys very enjoyable watch, great tips and tricks!! The keeping contact with the brush is brilliant love that!! My question is how do you go about heating your beastie rooms?

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I use an oiled filled radiator on a thermostat 👍

@@daveslittlebeasties Cheers Dave! Just curious as to how you went about it!

I really love daves channel. His channel sticks with the husbandry,experience, overall still entertaining. Seems a lot of the other channels that i used enjoy have lost their way. My go to channels for info are tom moran, tarantula haven, bethany, grindlers, deadly spider girl, petko and even exotics lair.

[@angielovesowls]

That was a fantastic video - thanks Dave and you too Camera Lady

[@JD-Defenders]

I am amazed at the difference between you and so many other channels who who are into the hobby as well. I LOVE your ways of handling them with such gentleness and care and they respond to you so calmly. I do hope many, many people follow your ways and methods for the sake of their pets as well.

Love the longer videos. Especially the beastie room tours

[@sharonfloyd3101]

Because they are in the beastie room all very calm and enjoyable to watch

[@susangrewe262]

Hello Dave and Camera Lady. Wow, wow, wow! What a fabulous video! My favorite part of your channel is watching you handle your beasties. I swear they can feel your calm and respond in kind. Question 1: Are there specific behaviours that you watch for to tell if your spiders are healthy? If you do get a sick spider, can they be treated? Question 2: Are there any Metallica babies coming on soon? I would love to see some Metallica slings. They are one of my favorites along with the H. Maculata. Anyway, well done! Bravo! Have a great week. Stay safe and take care y’all. 🤠🙂💖

[@daveslittlebeasties]

We watch for anything out of the norm from our spiders this often lets us know if there is a problem and yes we have some Metallica paired so fingers crossed 🤞

[@bernadettelinfoot]

This is one of my favourite videos and I have watched it lots of time. I have just send it to my granddaughter who is interested in spiders. Like so many people commented, Mr beastie you certainly are the spider whisperer

[@SpidetteGirl23]

Really enjoyed watching this dave and you covering a lot in how we handle our spiders for moving them and always to have a plan in place as to what we want to achieve and dealing calmly with things when it's not going to plan and changing it to the spiders best interests but also for theirs and your safety too very good for new keepers and a good refresher for myself too coming back into the hobby to re go over handling different spiders according to their nature's whether arboreal or terrestrial ❤ much love

[@jessewoods6890]

Dave, as l am quite sure that the group would agree, you seem to have a hypnotic effect over your Spiders. You seem to get them to do what you want them to , great work mate !!!!!!!!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

You too can do the same my friend ❤️❤️❤️
