[@ExoticsLair]

Fun he says ....

[@LeeDee5]

👀 huntsman spiders only want to love you 👀

[@missjackson7645]

🤣🤣😂awesome

[@Theinvertibrationstation]

He got my name wrong 😂 But hes not from the uk so understandable 🙂 Awesome to be in his video

[@ulipeterson6112]

btw., what happened to your huntsman spider?

[@magicvampirelver1321]

You know it is 😜 lol

[@jonathankool1997]

Fun fact from us Aussies. We have A lot of Huntsman species but a standout is the Delena cancerides which is a COMMUNAL Huntsman, up to 150 members strong is recorded and led by one large matriarch. I can actually say as a kid pulling a piece of bark of a tree to see them all underneath is definantly something! Aussie wildlife for the win!

[@alexgreen2918]

I actually hate them lol they just appear in our houses

[@turtleman190]

@@alexgreen2918 there is about 200 different huntsmans in Australia

[@AitchT.]

Ausie ausie ausie

[@jonathankool1997]

I know their not everyone's cup of tea but I love them. I'm never surprised about seeing them in houses or cars because we put our stuff where they once lived on trees/rocks/ground so there just making use of new locations haha.

[@dawnnowell4717]

Sounds like petko needs another communal enclosure... 😃😃 pleeease!

[@lhonficamilo]

I would like to say that Petko' s wood game is strong, but it is all bark.

[@rill9000]

Bark game stronger than an angry Rhodesian Ridgeback

[@TheDarkDen]

Bark is good xD

Wicked fast, I should create a bigger one for my army

[@kyrosparrow1704]

Just don’t eat it

[@FUCKTHEBBC]

😂💀

[@CarliVala]

That last spider was so cute, I like how she grabbed the roach lol.

[@TheCreatureCavern]

Huntsman: Speed. I am speed. I eat rehouses for breakfast.

[@Myriamele]

Your giggle after you said 'are you jealous of my wood'... that made me giggle too :D

[@christophermayne3219]

Excited to see the huntsman actually hunt when it gets bigger and easy to see

[@leonardosousa2453]

Heteropoda lunula looks absolutely sick in therms of coloration and theres probably other super cool ones out there but huntsmans in general have similar colors to their general environment so i dont think those will change much.

[@dorabrooks76]

No kidding! I just googled what H. sp. flores will look like and a picture of an H. lunula caught my eye. Pretty impressive! I kinda think the rings on the legs of mature H. sp. flores are cool looking, too, though. And the striped legs of H. venatoria are visually striking imo. The lichen huntsman is pretty as well, with all those mottled greens.

[@Gnarlykarli]

Petko: “Are you jealous of my wood?” Me: “ oh lord straight to the comments”

[@dawnnowell4717]

“Are you jealous of my wood?” Yes. I’ve always wanted to do the helicopter 😅😅

[@gfntsy]

See many of these every single day here in australia, of a night when i get home from work the lights shine on them all sitting on the wooden fence

[@rongross8993]

That little spider at the end really wanted that roach.

[@trueaussieray9093]

Petko: I'm going to pick up this Huntsman.. Huntsman: you picked up the wrong bottle man I'm a sand spider... chomp..

[@alphazunitee]

i think the bolt is the most scary thing about small spiders. I like tarantulas, they're always chill. House spiders when i need to catch them and throw away from my apartment always cause problems, and i mind especially when they are bigger

[@cathyb1273]

Nice video. I really liked the little one at the end. It was like : gimme, gimme that roach dammit !!! 😄

[@dnadesignn]

2:58 😂 yes sir I'm jealous

[@tarantulaman2335]

6 months ago i owned 0 tarantulas now i own 4 thanks for helping me learn how to take care of these spectacular creatures and for the entertaining videos

[@aphiliarachno]

They are beautiful. I like how they move. But it makes them difficult to handle, of course. The spider in the end: Aww, cute!

[@purplebeeproductions]

That fly buzzing round the light is either one of the bravest or stupidest creatures to have ever been born hanging out in that room....

[@ne0bladez767]

I have brown widows in my back yard and there is a lot of them too.

[@headrockbeats]

I had one living in my bedroom window for half a year. But then a second one showed up and I was afraid they mated, so I had to kill them both. :(

[@foreverGM.006]

About a week ago i was putting my trash can back on the side of my house and right before I put my hand on it, I noticed a massive brown widow had made a web in the handle. It was horrifying

[@AitchT.]

Headrock jeez yeah you wouldn’t want them to hatch have thousands of them ahah

[@coldcountess]

Have a good day Petko !!

[@kudzu_]

@@AitchT. I'll never forget putting my shoes on in the garage, only to take one back off to knock a rock out that turned out to be a big female black widow. On closer inspection, the garage was infested and I spent half the day killing what felt like 100's of them. I can't imagine how bad it would have gotten had that one not crawled in my shoe. They were excellent hiders.

[@Neloish]

Awesome, I think the "spider community" is doing a great job breeding and conserving rare species. Keep it up!

[@SkyeSpider]

Always fun to see a video of a crazy huntsman rehouse the day before my new ones arrive in the mail. I'm dreading the unpack on them, as always.

[@20PINKluvr]

Oh btw you gained a new subscriber as of last night. You're the spider version of antscanada lol and the accent is entertaining

[@missjackson7645]

"I don't trust them" 🤣 #Relateable

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Man those things are fast! Speed, they are speed

[@thecreatureverse]

Please put a feeding hole for the enclosure, by cutting a small hole in the lid and stuffing it with cotton or other ventilation medium.

[@deadbane]

I don't know, I went from a jumping spider recommended video to your channel, and I love it! Keep up the good work.

[@TimeForDunston]

These things are always crawling across my ceiling above my bed at night, when I was little I killed them because I was afraid they'd bite me in my sleep. I was a stupid kid but these days I don't ever bother them, in fact I welcome them because they eat any bugs that get into my room. They're my boiz now,

[@user-zp4ge3yp2o]

I got 3 tiny slings as my first tarantulas a month or so ago after watching your videos. Just today the tlitocatl albopilosus has finally molted, and the lasiodora klugi I half expected to be dead as I haven't seen it in 3 weeks has taken a piece of mealworm I put in it's enclosure, so good times!

[@dorabrooks76]

Yeah! Congrats on your first successful molt (of many more to come lol)!! 😀

[@calebbair1152]

Jealous of my wood 😂🤣😂🤣😂🔥🔥

[@josephj.m.s4302]

7:13 "im so afraid not to crush it" implying that you want to crush this huntsman spider, i rest my case.........monster

[@hatebulliesjohnson5901]

Thanks for the great videos . I would love to see more videos on sling care . Enclosures sizes for the type of tarantula . May be some on beginner tarantulas and dumb it down for newbies like my self

[@alexandrutudorache396]

Hello! I just found your channel. I had close to 0 interest in spiders, until now. I find your videos very interesting and love seeing all the species you have, they are absolutely gorgeous! My favorite is the jumping spider, Kiwi. She is adorable, makes me want to have one, but my girlfriend is terrified of spiders... Can't wait for your next video, cheers!

[@LordSoge]

Hey Petko, typically i don't kill or move the spider Opiliones out of my house and today i was gifted to witness a live catch from one living under my cupboard =D A fly (which was annoying me for several days) flew into her web, i just heard the fly trying to escape the web, looked down and saw the spider coming down and start webbing the fly and biting it. After around 5 minutes the spider crawled up her web with his prey. I was thinking the fly wasn't lucky enough to get killed fast by me haha

[@joppek77]

Nice! That velvet spider (Eresus) was adorable! You'd think she'd feel a bit shy, but she really wanted that roach. :-P

[@thereseold2785]

Here in Queensland Australia, huntsman spider live in our walls 😂 my roommate is always getting terrified of either the giant huntsmans or the wolf spiders in the house

[@stephanieh.8669]

😂😂😂😂 They give me the creeps but you got me laughing so hard!! I love how you talk to the spiders!!!

[@dunklerrattenkobold1997]

Cupiennius salei is an awesome spider species imo

[@dezrivera5422]

I have not stopped laughing since the first bolt. Love you Petko!

[@mmnoob7610]

My girlfriend bought me one of your masks tonight she said you were really nice and polite when you guys encountered some shipping issues. I think you've gained a new subscriber because I told her to start watching your videos XD

[@FrigFrogGaming]

The chunk was literally so cute I was screaming 😂 my bf thinks I'm crazy

[@misty5979]

that was cute, just like serving someone....she delicately took it with one arm and said thank you, lol

Speaking of Spiders (and not Tarantuals) Here's a Barn Spider imgur.com/gallery/pGdcBEJ and a Zig-Zag Spider imgur.com/gallery/PIDC3nS From my backyard.

[@bootson_au]

Ask any Aussie, huntsman spiders are insanely quick, and scare the hell out of most people here. Especially when they appear in front of your face while driving when you drop down the sun visor.

[@kyleflounder9783]

"Are you jealous of my wood" oh god not Petko too 😨🤣

Who wouldn't be jealous of that wood?🤔😅

They get quite beautiful when mature. Just feed them twice! a week and you will see. H. boiei is twice as fast bzw.

I love the huntsman spiders as well.

[@0pyro]

Very much fun 😎

[@susanmartin3762]

You would make a great real estate salesman for spiders. You would also be an excellent interior decorator for your eight legged Little Friends. The way you care about what size cork bark they need and how they can live around it. Very sweet. Even if it is for huntsman spiders. I just said their name like 10 times now. I hope that's not a curse. I just don't say "huntsman spiders" very often. Eeeewwww

If you want to recreate their natural Australian habitat get a 2 foot aquarium and put a pair of work boots in it.

[@specialops5408]

Since i have been watching you, i now want a tarantula. Pterinochilus murinus is what i am thinking of getting. Although i am more than willing and happy to take advice on the best species for a first time keeper. Absolutely brilliant channel. My 4 year old nephew loves the feeding videos 😂

[@dorabrooks76]

Cool that you watch feeding videos with your nephew- I watch them with my niece. Ever since I told her there's a tarantula with the same (species) name as her, she's been interested. Lol She even likes to go on spider walks! The main reason for my comment is: if you're interested, Petko, Tarantula Kat, and The Tarantula Collective all have _great_ beginner Tarantula videos, all with mostly different suggestions. Even if you're not into any of the Ts they suggest, the videos are fun anyway. Check 'em out if you'd like. Cheers!

[@midnightcryptworx]

can't wait on the update on the eresus! Love them!

[@chloewright1]

"Their colouration isn't very impressive" - Really? A huntsman can camouflage itself so well that you can literally be stood right next to one on a tree trunk or branch, and you won't see it. I think the way they can blend into their environment seamlessly is VERY impressive.

[@gregorygimigliano]

He just means the colors are boring not that they’re not an impressive species.

[@trelane227]

@@gregorygimigliano Half of the species he owns are basically pet rocks and huntsman spiders aren't impressive?

I was referring to be as visually appealing as some colorful tarantulas can be :P

I am allergic to coconut, so coco fiber isn't an option for good substrate for me. What are some good clean replacement substrate ideas?

[@charlesfil6019]

Hi Petko! I have a Mature Male & Female (both around 3.5 years old - 6 inch leg span) KZbin won’t let me post images here, but i have some images here:- Female instagram.com/p/B_jwZEsgSf7/ Male instagram.com/p/B3mOMQHhxam/ Their appearance changes a little with time, the male seems to hold a more greenish Hue as they age, and the female a more Matt coating. Males seems to remain more slender and the females pack on some bulk. P.S I live in Japan so these are Japanese variant. I’ve seen some in the wild here easily approaching 7 inches. They are insanely quick.

[@susanmartin3762]

Petco why do you have to like such a creepy spider like the Huntsman? You love jumping spiders and you love your tarantulas isn't that enough? Huntsman spiders are just creepy scary spiders. I'd rather see you helping a wolf spider. Have you seen the video on KZbin where the man helps a wolf spider get his feet unstuck from some tape? He also helps another one getting untangled too. They are very good videos and it's so cool how that wolf spider just stand still letting this man use an exacto knife around his feet. It's like he knows he's being helped and he doesn't try to move. One of the best videos I've ever seen and I think you would enjoy it if you haven't already seen it. I'm pretty sure you have

[@denisebethany5691]

Question? Why are the spiders kept in small tanks? Dont then need more space to run around? Not a joke, serious question. Like spiders but not that close & personal.
