That was the best pairing I've ever seen. He put her in a trance with his drumming!!

[@SS_Psyops]

Well, I got my first tarantula and while I know it’s not necessarily recommended for beginners, I just love them so much I couldn’t resist, so I picked up a Harpactira Pulchripes. :) I have watched you for… well a couple of years I guess but incrementally focusing on this more and more. After researching everything extensively I just went ahead and got exactly what I wanted, deciding to just trust your wisdom on every bit of the care. I rehoused it in the Moran style with the paper towels though due to not having a custom made tabletop yet.. and everything worked great. After a few hours I went back to check on her and she’s exploring the enclosure and laying down web (“trip wires” more so I guess). Thank you so much for helping me do this! When I first found the tarantula shock type videos years ago with them threat posturing, being defensive, bolting, teleporting, etc I had NO idea why these crazy people would want to mess about with a venomous animal, that unhinged. I mean.. pythons don’t behave anything like that, why not just get one of those if you wanted a predator?! Then I found your channel (others too but you stand out head and shoulders above in my humble opinion) and grew to have an entirely different view of them. I came to see these as the ambush predators they are, ones reacting that way in no small part due to their keepers, having since learned that the spider is far more content to be left alone in its hide than running around acting crazy (I realize there are different levels and such that’s not a full blanket statement). Anyways, I appreciate you sharing your passion with the world and me, it definitely has had an effect. There are assuredly many many people and certainly spiders too directly benefiting from the time and energy you put into this everyday.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much for your kind words I really appreciate your support and comments thank you 🙏❤❤❤

[@goofybrained6929]

OUTSTANDING photography ! yeah on what's on they are thinking. Bet I know what the female is 'saying' when she rushes the male that got her pregnant and was gone when she came out of her trance !

[@johanneabelsen1644]

3:10: He is GORGEOUS..!🙆‍♂️🎉 Looks like covered in gold!

[@petegriffin8149]

Wow, Dave this is exceptional video mate...Mrs Camera Lady does a great job, beautiful spiders too, she was the most relaxed baboon tarantula I've personally ever witnessed.. thanks again to the Beasties..👍😃👍

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks 👍

[@Bloopie666]

Stunning legs on that female! Omg, I fell in love with that metallic blue. What an interesting video! The male was so confident and calm. Loved every minute of it. Thank you for another wonderfully educational video.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much!❤

[@Lee2k4]

Loving the camera footage on these pairings it’s second to none

[@elizabethdurocher8308]

So excited to see a egg sack from this beautiful spider.

[@karlsteeg4139]

We have Harp's running around wild here. they are actually quiet easy going. many will run onto your hand, and a few will give a warning stance. Beautiful creatures

[@lauriebradley8295]

[@DragonflyArtz1]

I love how you are always looking for new ways to improve, based on your keen observation. Super cool. Best of luck that you'll be gaining a new batch of Baby Baboons! And great note to not grab after the male right away. She is amazing. Peace.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

[@sarahrupert5320]

Wow, it’s so interesting that you decided to feed a couple of your female spiders who have egg sacks. I love that you continue to learn as much as possible, experiment a bit to try new things, and share the results with us. Thank you so much for another great video!! Hoping for a viable egg sack!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏

Man that male had her under his spell, she was just goo, so much so he almost couldn't hold her up lol. Love your videos keep up the hard work.

Awww i can tell you are recovering from a cold. Hope you are feeling better. My son had rsv and was sick for 9 days w a high fever it was rough and thus came after I was hospitalized my self.

[@maynard1234]

I really enjoyed learning that. Thanks Dave. Beautiful beings they are. I handled a tarantula about a month ago for the first time. The keeper instilled a confidence in me and I had no fear. A really good experience. I enjoy all your videos.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

That is awesome!❤

[@charliemum]

I was watching a vid of pamphobeteus in the wild one girl had a sack and instead of hiding with it she was sat right in the entrance with the sack infront of her she looked like she was hunting even though she had a sack. Made me wonder if other sp would do that too, still hunt and drink regardless of having a sack , even in captivity . I know my partners blondi came out for water while she had her sack too, and he got slings, so it was a viable sack . I find it all extremely interesting. The more i learn, the more i believe we have only scratched the surface of t keeping . Please keep us updated n let us know if feeding and watering her helped her keep her sack 😊 great vid as always Dave, Camera Lady 🙂

[@charliemum]

@Dominick Stone was on birdspiders ch pamphobeteus in the wild he has alot of vids like that on there Martin spends lots of time documenting t's in the wild 😊

[@charliemum]

@Dominick Stone sorry I don't remember exactly what one it was all I can suggest is go through his vids n watch the pamphobeteus sp in the wild vids and you should find it . Sorry I can't help more .

[@charliemum]

@Dominick Stone I don't know how to send a link either I am not tech savy sorry again

What a beautiful female spider 🕷 those legs was stunning with that blue 💙 😍 color! Interesting and informative video 📹 👍as usual dear Dave and Sweet Camera Lady! Mabye it's good to feed the females who are known to eat their eggsacks...or at least it can be worth a try! Love ❤ what you do!

[@seansspoods9521]

Great video, Absolutely on the money, H pulcripes are stunning and as like you, found they are more relaxed than most baboons, stunning too.

[@dylanjones4348]

awesome spider,love my female,great video.have a great day

[@georgecardiff1946]

Fantastic video Dave, very interesting and enjoyable, that was a brilliant pairing and should in turn produce a viable egg sac eventually, they're a beautiful species of spider and the blue on the female is very striking, another superb job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you buddy im surprised we dont see more of them in the hobby ❤👍

[@ahickin]

Great pairing my friend. My female lost her blue colouring on her legs, when she moulted into an adult.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thats strange it normally gets stronger ?

[@mikepetersen7319]

They're so beautiful. I've got me some Slings last Year and I'm looking forward for the Colours to come through. Another Bonus with these is...NO urticating Hairs😍

[@belindalaing7592]

That was such a calm pairing 🤞 for a nice healthy big egg sac soon. Still very much enjoying your videos guys 👍😊

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks ❤❤❤

[@SpicyFruitJuice]

About a YEAR ago ..I was absolutely terrified of any and all spiders..even if it was fake lol after watching your videos DAVE and our lovely camera lady for about a year now....I find Spiders fascinating and beautiful. Thank you Dave and camera lady for all you do to spread knowledge about the wonderful world of spiders. GOD BLESS may your slings grow up to make more slings LOL woohooo xox

[@Hayley0412]

Brilliant video, really clear and informative I do feel so sorry for the males they are so tiny in comparison! He certainly wanted to do his bit for king and country but he was not going to hang around and I certainly agree. I am interested to know how the males understand that their lives are in danger? The female looked as if she was in a trance or bored to death! I absolutely love your channel, you guys are amazing! ❤
