Dolichothele diamantinensis, Brazilian blue dwarf beauty rehouse and care

[@Kahkakow]

Seeing an animal to the end of it's natural life is such an honour. Thank you for loving her ♡

[@stanleyhyde8529]

It looks like a jewel. There's a wonderful kind of irony in an animal that has such beautiful coloring that stays hidden underground.

[@miketheknife2]

Once you put her in the new enclosure,the colors popped. What a beautiful T.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much!

[@kaymcgraw9362]

She is beautiful. You have taught me so much about how to deal with spiders. Thanks camera lady for great filming.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

You are so welcome❤

[@killerdude666]

Reminds me of my greenbottle blue tarantula

[@repti_family]

Yeh I’ve always thought that like a miniature one. Can’t wait until mine gets bigger it’s a tiny sling atm

[@tedra3m229]

That is a beautiful spider, the coloring is amazingly bright. Sad about the Orb spider, but the egg sac is a gift of the future, if it is viable.

[@aundriachaboya-bc5es]

Her coloring is stunning!

[@afterlifeartistry]

The weather is diabolical! Now added this species to the list, absolute little beauty! ❤

[@marie-louisesegerlov8625]

Wow GEORGIUS BEAUTIFUL spider😍😍

[@andyross2788]

That really is a beautiful looking spider, and just shows you don't need size to be impressive

[@mymixtape8280]

Nice video, I recently re-housed mine by simply moving the webbed up cork she made her home to the new enclosure :)

[@katelarouche2835]

The DD looks just a jewel in the new enclosure. Breathtaking.

[@Almonte-e8q]

I rehoused my D. diamantinensis 3 days ago, too. I've almost the same enclosure - these work very well for all my dwarf species. Thank you for this video!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Very cool!

[@Gillian-xl7wb]

What a cutie! Would b a shame if t egg sack is a dud. 😊

[@graemewright2046]

a fine fine little colourful spider PROFF. they must be one of the best spiders for colour. some great information for the hobby on this wee special spider. some great footage CAMERA LADY . many thanks guys and take care

[@A.Steeeve]

Nice steely colours on that dwarf 😍 quite sad for the weaver...

[@BeckyWilson1970]

She is a beauty.

[@sassiebrat]

Only God can make a Dolichothele diamantinensis.

[@SelenesCreationsByTheSea]

With that light OMG she is just gorgeous !!!

[@belindalaing7592]

Such a beautiful spider I don't think I've ever seen a spider with so many different colours. fingers crossed for some successful breeding Great video as always guys 😊👍

[@musicgogga]

Hi Dave, what a beautiful spider! Good luck with the project. My first ever successful sac was with my Dolichothele diamantinensis back in 2023. They are my favorite species. Greetings from South Africa

[@neilpenfold9037]

Hey Guys 👋 What a wonderful spider. Very pretty, and was very much enjoying her new home by the looks of it. Out of the light they almost replicate a GBB. Another really nice choice of spider to show us, so thank you. I think Camera Ladies sneeze was the most inoffensive sneeze I've ever heard, actually I'd almost call it endearing. You could record one and use it as a text alert. when I sneeze I'm louder than Pete Samprass serving an Ace. You'd think i'd just been shot. Lovely spider, lovely spider crib. Take care Guys.

[@cynthialbell9023]

Hi Dave That is a beautiful dwarf tarantula. The colots are so pretty. Very nice enclosure. So sad that your pretty orb web spider will pass soon. But she was a beautiful addition to the beastie room. That would be nice if her egg sack did hatch. You will have to get a new for the new beastie room. I hope that the rain will stop soon. Excellent views camera lady. I hope that you both have a nice day. Cindy USA

[@hollyfisher6057]

It's funny how each specimen has their own personality and preferences. My d. diamantinesis has never been much of a burrower and instead makes complex web tunnels, just filling up anywhere there's space above the substrate in its enclosure. One of the best eaters in my collection, too. This species is such a delight!

[@elinjens1]

She is a beautiful little thing 😍 keep us updated on the egg sack 🤗

[@mariestubbs4606]

What an absolute stunner luv the enclosure , great vid Dave n Camera Lady ...

[@pixie706]

So beautiful. One of your most stunning spiders. I bet camera lady is looking forward to getting her rehouse done as soon as the new room is finished 😊

[@It_wasnt_me.8]

Looks like a mini gbb tarantula.. Cute feisty little dwarf and such beautiful colours. 🤩 Thank you for the update on your pretty orb weaver granny. Would be great if the egg sac is viable.

[@pattijareo7423]

What a beauty that little girl (maybe) is! I can actually see myself enjoying having one like that around! 😉 Thank you both for a very nice start for my week. 💕🕷🕸💕

[@joegrossman5073]

This is one of my top 5 favorite T's, so flipping beautiful, way more popping of color then a GBB. Love your videos keep up the hard work.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you! Will do!👍❤️

[@melaniezagata4402]

That Brazilian blue dwarf T is stunning Dave!!!!❤❤❤❤😊

[@mikepetersen7319]

Aww! Such a beauty❤ the enclosure looks very nice too. Sad for the Orb Weaver, but it is what is. They just have a short life. Nevertheless She was a fun spider. Fingers crossed that the egg sac is good 🤞🍀

[@janicehonea7613]

Absolutely gorgeous gorgeous spider I just fell in love with her❤🤩👀

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much!

[@rikkr1307]

I can't make nearly as much web as I used to either... So I can commiserate with....

[@andrewmonument8847]

🤣

[@bridgethoskins9809]

Oh wow that is a beautiful spider. Never thought I would say that about a spider 😂. I think I want one. It's a plus to me that it stays small as I'm still a little jumpy around them. I think I'm going to see if it is at all possible for me to find one. Thanks for sharing this.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

You should! they are a great little spider ❤️

[@TerrificTarantulas]

Another fabulous rehousing video with a fabulous little inhabitant. Thx so much!

[@gailwanhala6275]

wonderful video, I do love the dwarf spiders, well, I love ALL the spiders, and I'm very glad your orb weaver left you an egg sack, at least she feels like she has led a full life leaving you the egg sack, sweet girl, spiders are my spirit animal ! I sure hope you can breed the dwarf spider ! thanks again

[@georgecardiff1946]

Fantastic stuff Dave, that Brazilian blue dwarf beauty is a stunning species of spider 🕷, the dwarf species are beautiful overall, the orb weaver egg sac is very interesting Dave, I've never seen one before, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@loisxander6321]

That lovely lady has a pretty new home.

[@christophercunningham9303]

Great vid Dave & Camera lady, awesome spider. One of my to get list. 😎

[@NickieLan]

a beautiful spider and a super natual enclosure..i love it 😊

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you! 😊

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Positively beautiful 😊❤ those colours are stunning. You have a very good way when it comes right down to caring for your spiders and it shows when you see them all big and healthy and no faded colours, just perfect specimens. Love your channel and your missus does great camera work. Thank you for showing us your glamorous beasties ❤

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@RealMelodyBlue]

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it ❤

[@georgeennis4125]

Absolutely gorgeous little dwarf tarantula, think I may need to try and get one for my collection 😊 looks similar to a GBB

[@kirundo]

I totally adore that species, got an adult female here and she's stunning!

[@I_am_Angerer]

I love this species so much. Bought a sling a while ago and I'm glad it turned out to be a beautiful female.

[@JoanneKew-t9p]

Love that spider. Think might be next purchase. Xxx❤

[@7991smynotrm]

Great video keep up the good work dave ❤. I love how she/he reminded you that it still as fangs when trying to change home with the brush

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks 👍

[@Tarantulamanx]

Another one added to my wanted list.

[@tbird788]

What a bluetiful spider, very colourful 😍 I hope you have success in pairing this spider in the future ❤

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I hope so too

Blue Dinki Spideys in the Big Beastie House

[@dirtycorn4958]

Love these Ts! They seem to think if they don't move you can't see them lol mines only around 1.5 inch, but ever since i got it at 1/3 inch i can move enclosure and open without it moving. Even when i I had it in sling vial, it would sit right at the top and only move into its web burrow after I misted some water for a drink. And imo, even though gbbs are gorgeous, these are prettier 😍 so glad I didn't overlook these 😀

[@MOONOVERMIAMI]

Hello great video information and rehousing Dave

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks 👍

[@alanlovesacrazywoman]

Hi dave me and my girlfriend have been watching your videos for years now and on the 23rd of jan i lost her to a heart attack and her fav spider was the blue dewarf i just think its ironic that this is the video she would of loved to of seen and never got to see it we really love your videos so please in respect for her please keep going she will be watching up there i no she will sorry dave if am being to soppy it just means alot to me and alot to her thank you dave for being you x

[@daveslittlebeasties]

So sorry for your loss my friend it makes me happy that she enjoyed the content , such a shame she did not get to enjoy this latest video , we will do our best to continue producing the videos , our hearts and thoughts are with you and your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@8100CAS]

Beautiful spider! BTW, lichen needs sunlight so you would need a grow light to keep it alive long term.

[@stevenA44]

That is a beautiful Tarantula!! I would like to have 1 or 2 of those. Sad about your orb weaver. Hopefully the egg sac will be good for your sake.

[@candyscott489]

A month ago my friend gave me a Well started sling !! 👏🏻💙❤️💚

[@Jhon-ic4uy]

Not a spider person pal,but wot a stunning spider, almost makes me want to try the hobby ❤

[@wendydix5534]

Opposite here, 39 degrees Celsius and hot winds.

[@katehodges1296]

Brilliant video. I have a little DD sling and it webs so much. Lush colours.

[@reptiletailz108]

Absolutely always get excited when I see one of ur vids pop up no matter what time it is when I see it I always stop whatever it is I'm doing at the moment to watch!!! Great video!! I do have a question!! First I want to say I'm sorry that the orb weaver is on her last legs!! She has given us all many awesome moments.. I am curious to know do u think that u keep finding her on the desk Bec she is falling off her web? Or do u think she is just coming to have a wander around while ur asleep and when u come check on them in the am that u just catch her on a walk about?? Just curious what u think it is

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Its a bit of both I think unfortunately she does not have the strength to climb back up so I always put her back on her web, in the wild something would have come along and eaten her by now im sure.👍

[@reptiletailz108]

Yeah aww poor girl but she is living the absolute best life she possibly could be there in sure of it!! I know she will have a full belly till her last moment! And will always be comfy and warm and never have any worries so u did right by her for sure!!

[@CabalisOrder]

very similar to the GGB

[@andrewmonument8847]

My thoughts exactly... Similar colouring to the Green Bottle Blue.

[@aggsolodl]

i thought the same about it's looks instantly!

[@lindsaycarroll8086]

The lichen on that bark only grows well where the air quality is really good

[@karmas.busdriver]

I just got a couple of female feather legs from spider shoppe that were shipped in those little plastic boxes. My son said they're nice we should keep those for slings😁. I don't have much exp with Spider shoppe, but my New additions are really nice, the packaging was top notch. First Impression 💯%

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I have used them in the past and very happy 😊

[@deewhitcha6014]

what a stunner!

[@helheim_br]

Hi Dave, I'm just wondering when are you going to make an update on the Y.Diversipes, also if you can make an I. zorodes husbandry video I would love to watch that too, TIA

[@nataliezettler3710]

You guys are having cold rain....I got heavy snow over here in Canada lol....Love your videos...

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Oh wow!

[@albarosewilliams7443]

She is gorgeous! I love dwarf spiders. I love that enclosure as well. That lichen is pretty cool looking. It would be sad if the egg sac wasn't viable, especially since she won't be around to produce another one. So this means you have a male loose in your room? I wish you a blessed week with better weather.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I think it will be a phantom sac unfortunately

[@TheRockIslandRock]

Wonderful weather

[@krissykolorjunki5304]

Gorgeous glowing colors! Thanks for the update on your Golden Orb Web Weaver and her surprise egg sack. Would that egg sack normally hatch in the next season?

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Yes it would ❤

[@denisegreene8441]

​@@daveslittlebeastiesso it will lay dormant until spring ? Did you actually mate her?

[@Kaiyo_no_Ookami]

They’re so pretty. I’m eagerly awaiting one of my very own, due to arrive on Wednesday. I ordered it, and a couple others, right after Christmas but they’ve been in sort of a holding pattern because of the bitter cold temperatures we’ve been having in the northeastern US. Worth the wait.

[@gloriajackson2021]

How exciting! Where did you order it from?

[@Kaiyo_no_Ookami]

@ Yes! From The Spider Shoppe.

[@peterhobson3583]

Down boy!

[@evanparkinson7525]

Another great video Dave and Camera Lady 😁 Your D.diamantinensis really is a beauty! And as always I am really impressed with your enclosure design skills. Hopefully 'she' is a female and you will have success with her in a future project! I'm sorry about your orb weaver a sad albeit natural stage of life ... although I'm sure she had a quality life with yourselves ❤ Can I please ask what ratio of potting compost to coco fibre you use? And do you vary it depending on species requirements for tunnelling and water retention/air humidity? I'm not on Facebook/messenger is there a way to message you privately re T's for sale as I would very much like to place an order with you in the future following some home renovations. Also, any update on moving ahead with Patreon? And/or another Q&A session?

[@daveslittlebeasties]

There is an email on here but I dont check it as often as I should I forget its there ?I put more potting compost if I need more moisture in it .👍

[@evanparkinson7525]

Thank Dave, much appreciated 👍🏻

[@denisegreene8441]

WOW.....What an absolutely beautiful spider. Is she / he always those colours or only because she just moulted?

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Both!

[@WokeIntolerant]

California would be delighted to have your rain these days. Land nearly the size of England has burned this week.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Yes we see it on the news its really shocking and must be so frightening ❤️

[@donsabok9687]

I gotta add dwarfs to my collection I have 15 spiders sometimes I feel like it’s to much but then again not to bad can I handle another 15 😂 maybe I would be overwhelmed

Dave do u sell t,s as well

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Yes I do message me on Facebook for a list 👌

[@JohnBailey-n6l]

That is a beautiful spider. Would you say these are beginner friendly spiders Dave? Time to sweet talk the wife if they are.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Yes easy spider to care for

[@KirstyWheelsChard]

My D. Diamantenensis is one of my favourites. So much fun to watch :) I was just wondering... How did the other orb weaver fare in an enclosure?

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Shhe grew very quickly and only recently passed

[@Ujuani68]

Hi Dave ,Camera Lady and the rest of you guys. I have a problem: My subadult Brachypelma emilia has had impaction, and maybe she still has it! 😮 When it was at its worst, I put her in an ICU container, where she managed to scratch herself, and made it come out. I then put her back in her regular enclosure, but with new, and thicker substrate in it. She is still not active, but drank some water 3 days ago. Should I put her back in ICU? She is not hungry, I have tried giving her some of her favorite foods, but no luck. I really need a good advice, and quickly. My best thanks to all of you. Jo in Copenhagen.

[@I_am_Angerer]

If she managed to poop, maybe it's not impaction but she is a bit overweight? What makes you think she still is impacted? If she has it, and the method you mentioned worked the first time, I would repeat it. How dry is her enclosure?

[@Ujuani68]

@I_am_Angerer I think she MIGHT be impacted, because she has had it before. AND, because she is very inaktive. Sort of sleeps all the time, isn't active.😢 I have misted her enclosure, and will continue to check on the humidity.

[@Ujuani68]

Latest news: She has actually turned a bit more active, dueing the last couple of hours. I'll keep her in her regular enclosure, and then try to feed her again, in about a week.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I personally dont like the ICU approach as I think it produces more stress than good , breaches often will not eat becouse generally they are over weight to begin with ? many are only active during the night so this would be the time to check for activity , check temps too most are kept too cool for mu liking maybe warm her up ?

[@Ujuani68]

@@daveslittlebeasties She stands right above a radiator on a small shelf. But I don't see any build-up on her cloaca, so maybe she IS out of the woods. 🤷‍♂️

[@TheOutriderJ]

Hi Dave. Great video and thanks for the update on the Beastie Room mascot Orb Weaver. Do you recommend any special diet for heavy webbing spiders?

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I feed all my spiders a mix of different insects

[@toristrubel7961]

great video as always dave and camera lady! hey, did the tree spider that had the bump on her abdomen ever molt? I just thought about it and was wondering how that was going?
