Fear Not Tarantulas Mystery Box! See what I got!

[@tarantulacollective]

That's awesome you picked up a N. sp. Panama! I love my little lady..she is such a cool tarantula. I still haven't taken part in the mystery spiders though I have regretted not getting one everytime.. lol.

[@TarantulaHaven]

I really regretted not getting one when they did the Aphonopelma mooreae. I didn't so much the one prior to this. I pretty much knew the Theraphosa one and figured it was the blondi but I don't feel like I'm ready for one. I don't have the space for when it grows large and I'm not sure I'm ready for the amount of care.

[@debbiemcclure2874]

Great video Alex and very cool new additions!!!! Best wishes on the B Smithi. Tyfs God bless you

[@didisaythat4230]

This is an awesome video. I don't have any Ts yet and I stress yet. I've been looking into it for a few months now. I really like it as a hobby and seems to have such a great community to share with and learn from.

[@torpedoesntarantulas5758]

Dude I got BJ'S magnificent mystery too because I've been looking for smithi for a long time. So I went back & bought 5 B smithi! Now I have SIX!!! So excited about the possibilities with them. Would like to try to contribute them to the hobby. Really cool unboxing video. BTW I take the labels off the old container & put them on the new container itself. If you put it on the lid it could get switched up during feeding or watering. I know because it happened to me. Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@kimperdue]

some cute little guys no matter what kind they are.

[@TarantulaHaven]

Yep. I agree. :)

I'm expecting my first order from Fear Not Tarantulas tomorrow AM. I am getting my 2nd Golden Blue legged Baboon ( Harpactria pulchripes ) sling and my 2nd Mexican Red Rump ( Brachypelma vagans ). I am so STOKED !!!!!! I always enjoy your videos !!!!

[@justing7147]

That Scott's Awesome tarantula looks very similar to what my Phormingochilus SP Rufusn looked like at that size. The banding you mentioned appeared shortly before she started turning the beautiful peach color, as a sling she was black.

[@witcher1973]

Nice, and now i have another tarantula channel to watch. Exposure is great for channels.

[@pedambr199]

congrats, they are in good hands :)

[@amandaloriananimals9065]

I just want to say I love your videos! I just wish you did more videos in your tarantula room.

[@ruhmatt]

I got my neischnocolus a couple months ago love her she is one of my best eaters and takes down everything

[@TarantulaHaven]

Sweet! They are a gorgeous species. I'm really loving my dwarf T's!

Very nice Mystery Box Alex, can't wait for you to show us feeding time on these. Like the Video.

[@TarantulaHaven]

Ed Gufler yes sir. I can’t wait for them to get some size on them so I can not worry about them.

[@edgufler1122]

[@Arezt79]

Nice video. You got a new subscriber

[@montanablue7960]

I have been following you for a while and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I am trying to decide which I want to go with, a tarantula or a scorpion. Either way, it will be my first. I wish you lived close by so I could sit and talk to you about it. Keep the videos coming.

[@TarantulaHaven]

James Blinn thank you sir. In my humble opinion I find tarantulas much more enjoyable. All my scorpions are very finicky eaters and mostly eat in secrecy rather than eat when I feed them. Most of my tarantulas will eat on cue unless they’re in pre or post molt.

[@montanablue7960]

@@TarantulaHaven More then likely I will go with a Brachypelma Smithi.

[@XxMrRoachxX]

Cool little buggers! I Like to buy my T's from Arachnoiden .com and usually make sure they're females when I buy them. I did take a chance buying 4 P. Metallica Slings and got lucky with 3 out of 4 being females!

[@natethegreat141990]

Dont look at it as a gamble because gambles you will probably lose, in this case you are guaranteed to win even if already have it's a second or you can trade it for another one

[@TarantulaHaven]

You're right about that but I did have a friend that bought one on the last one and got a P. irminia. She already had one and she spent $50 for a $30 tarantula. Of course she did get the enclosure with it so I guess it all worked out.

[@natethegreat141990]

@@TarantulaHaven I can see that being a disappointment, just another reason to buy them all. Better chances coming out on top. Maybe? Hope so lol. I did so the reveal will tell all. Hope you enjoy your new friends. BTW love your videos and you children were champs on the challenge

[@xdragonxmasterx6790]

Have they revealed the 3 species yet it’s been 3 months and I haven’t found any information on it yet.

[@bigmikc]

Alex my wife gifted me a xmas spider today. Really awesome design.

[@TarantulaHaven]

Oh nice! Thank you for your support!

[@samanthaw8417]

First one here! Was watching another video when this just came up

[@TarantulaHaven]

Yayuh!

[@DuchessMyPony]

I hope they are what you want Alex :)

[@Indieegames]

This was such a fun video! I want to get my first tarantula here soon! I’m wanting a Brachypelma Albiceps and a GBB!!

[@TarantulaHaven]

Both are great. I personally don't have a B. albiceps yet. GBB are awesome and great starters. Beautiful colors, easy to care for, and a feisty disposition.

[@NatCr3w]

I got a GBB sling as my first spider and it's been amazing. It's been a great experience. She's(hopefully is a she fingers crossed) been a little feisty a couple times where she kicked hairs at my tongs when I have been doing some work around her enclosure but no threat postures and has settled right in calming significantly in the process. Their hardiness cannot be understated. Mine lost a leg in shipping and was still hitting roaches like a freight train. She molted for the first time under my care yesterday and she has completely regrown her leg. I got mine with an enclosure and feeders from Tanya at Fear Not Tarantulas for $104 shipped. However, slings may not be the best starting point as I have learned through experience. 03Arachnids had some juveniles at $100 unsexed and $200 for a female. They command a high price since their apparently a hassle to breed as females are very cannibalistic. It's hard to say but if I could go back I would have definitely picked up something at full size to learn basic husbandry on a much more established spider. There's also the coin flip of getting a sling cheaper in the hopes you get that 350 dollar female for 50 bucks and some time with a tiny spider. But good luck and hopefully your sailing is as smooth as mine.

[@Indieegames]

Cody that’s awesome! I’m pretty sure a sling is going to be the way for me! I want that satisfaction of raising a t from a sling plus my husband is terrified of spiders so at least this way he can get use to the tarantula’s size as it grows 😂

[@ns6584]

I got my box from fesrnot today too, 9 slings🖤🕷 i didnt order mystery spiders though since I'm just a beginner

[@TarantulaHaven]

Awesome! What did you get?

[@Traytay0612]

I hate it when people spoil the mystery (whether it is boxes like this, tv shows, movies, etc). BJ’s poem was pretty obvious for experienced keepers, so that kinda spoiled that fun but I’d avoid all tarantula related social media until the sellers announce the species. Lol

[@TarantulaHaven]

Tracy A yeah. People were speculating on the Facebook group I’m in but I’m not entirely sure until they officially announce it on the FNT went site.

[@ECWnWWF]

Unpackaging seems like such a delegate process, I imagining packaging is even more delegate.

[@tzefenggoh5296]

Bro you should film those little slings running around (if it does) it will gain you a lot more subscribers 👍🏾

[@TarantulaHaven]

I'll do that. Thanks!

[@Valkyrie04]

I really like your vids. Congratz on your new spooders. Would you consider doing a husbandry vid and show us bBachypelma Klaasi ? Do you own them, what temperament do they have, etc. Thx!

[@TarantulaHaven]

Beth Gentry unfortunately I don’t have that species. I would like to own one one day because the Brachypelmas are some of my favorite tarantulas. I would imagine they are pretty close to most of your other Brachypelmas like boehmei and emilia. Their temperament is considered docile but they can be skittish and flick hairs. I still have to do one on the B. hamorii and my B. emilia.

[@catherinemalloy4207]

Alex, you’re an awesome guy, love watching your videos, you have a very calm and soothing voice, about how many tarantulas do you have now and where are they in your home, currently I only have two in my living room, both are slings, a Brazilian Black and a Green Bottle Blue. Hope to get a few more in spring, when it’s safer for shipping to me in Chicago. Can’t wait to see future videos, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I just bought 3 of your tarantulas off Etsy, they are so beautiful, can’t wait to get them, I’m going to hang them on my living room window.

[@TarantulaHaven]

Catherine Malloy thank you. I currently have 116 plus I held back 8 P. Cambridgei babies but I promised some to my kids so I’m not counting them yet. Also thank you for your support on the Christmas spiders. I hope you enjoy them. Would you like a shout out? 🤓👍🏼

[@catherinemalloy4207]

I would love a shout out, thank you.

[@TarantulaHaven]

You got it!

[@catherinemalloy4207]

Hello Alex, I just received my three Christmas spiders today and they are absolutely gorgeous! I was wondering if I put a ribbon on them can I wear them as a necklace or are they to delicate for that?

[@TarantulaHaven]

Catherine Malloy I’m assuming you can. They’re pretty sturdy. Just be careful of too much bending. 🤓👍🏼

[@jeffreygolish3827]

I don't know about getting an OBT without planning on getting an OBT. How big do they have to get before you should be concerned about the venom?

[@TarantulaHaven]

Jeffrey Golish even a 1 inch sling can deliver venom and it would still be painful but I would think more to the 3 inch size is when you would really have to worry. They’re not as bad as everyone makes them out to be.

[@gilbertdelgado3007]

How many tarantula do you have in your collection and how do you have them set up if you dint mine sharing

[@TarantulaHaven]

Current count is 116. Most of mine are on a shelf and a book case next to my computer desk. I have a few that I keep in my classroom at school.

[@gilbertdelgado3007]

Tarantula Haven that’s so cool I have one P. Metallic. I really want the all in that group I really enjoy watching your channel thanks for all the info

[@kinzer69]

Boy wouldn't that be something. Nah, I know what those babies look like. No spots on the abdomen just smooth orange. I'm hoping it might be some other kind of baboon.

[@ChantalsCritters]

When do they announce what they are?

[@TarantulaHaven]

Hey Channy, I think when they've sent them all out they'll make an announcement. Usually at the end of the week but I think it depends on when they get them all out. I've heard there have been some weather delays.

[@suncorexduitdenboogaart5381]

i watched the vid but tbh its not somthing to do as a beginner becouse almost all the tarantulas have differend ways of needs and u need to know what species dous what and needs what so dont order those boxes even if some are just 10 dollars as beginner not a good idea :D

[@NathanVariety]

Do these grow bigger over time?

[@TarantulaHaven]

Red Panda yes. These are babies and they will grow to be large tarantulas. Well, except for the dwarf species. They’ll stay about 3 inches or smaller.

Also; you gotta get away from coco fiber lol

[@TarantulaHaven]

Torpedoes n Tarantulas what do you recommend? What do you use?

[@torpedoesntarantulas5758]

I use the same thing Tom Moran uses. Terra Aranea from The Bio Dude. I've completely phased out coco fiber. It molds too easy. You can use what you want though. I was just teasing you

[@TarantulaHaven]

I’ve heard good things about Bio-Dude’s substrate. May have to order some. You’re right about coco fiber molding easily. Thanks for the info. 🤓👍🏼
