Idiothele mira, Blue Foot Baboon Tarantular pairing

[@jaygullion8013]

It may be necessary for you to break down and get yourself a small hand held bore scope like I use as a mechanic! I can go down a spark plug hole and see if a piston has a hole it in or the rod is broken or if it dropped a valve! In your case for your fossorial spiders and trap doors you could use it to go down the burrow hole and peek on them ! Mine was about $80 from Amazon and it takes pictures and records video buuuut then I guess you run the risk of disturbing her and her eating the sack I guess but it may be a idea for your mr. Dave! Great video! Hope you had a great Father's day yesterday! Much love from Tennessee U.S.A.

[@cutefan5playsmsp895]

Another great show for us! So glad it was a stress free pairing. Hope you and camera lady have babies from this pairing.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I hope so too!

[@drorbital3034]

He'd did the job and manage to live another day! "Right on!"

[@KatyB1113]

It never fails that I feel like a spider is crawling on me when I watch any of these videos…especially when you moved the babies from the eggs sac or the enclosure! Spiders terrify me but they are very interesting on here.

[@drhouse2462]

Although I might be developing a spider porn 'issue', I have to say just how happy I am to have come across your channel. Incredible stuff. The two of you make one hell of a team and it's just a delight to watch and learn. Hope that lady behaves as well with her babies as she did with Mr. Casanova. Much love.❤️

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you ❤👍

[@Alecsweet3057]

Absolutely amazing how they find the spider in a trap doors. I also find it amazing that right after they finished that she went right into her trap door like she did not hesitate where was she went right towards it. That just blows my mind... Great video! And I male spider lives another day.

[@treeface2128]

Very interesting pairing! I think you have the right idea Dave, the communication started at the moss and it seems they continued to communicate all the way up to making contact. It looked as though she lead him to the door and they were both tapping very responsively as she emerged. Unique stuff, I've never seen anything like it before : )

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@moodyshrew]

The only thing that could make your videos even more enjoyable would be a quick update on what's going on in the sling pots at the end of each one. It would be fascinating to see how each group has grown in the past week. 💗

[@wastelandsniper789]

I would LOVE to see the fuzzy little slings in their sling pots, too.

Nice and smooth pairing with these two cuties 🙂

[@martink9481]

At the end (up from 20:30) you can clearly see, that it must be raised blood pressure which causes the movement of your female. You can see her heart (upper abdomen, right behind the carapace) pounding and the first segment of her front foot is moving in the same rythm.

[@barbhelle5481]

Fingers crossed. I love the blue feet 💙 I hope they have many babies.

Totally off topic but I started watching your channel a couple years ago and I became fascinated by the hobby and different species. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered my first tarantula. My GBB sling is on its way. Thank you Dave for introducing me to this hobby and community on KZbin. Wish me luck.

Thats awesome mate you will be fine and theres always plenty of people to help out too 👍❤

My GBB arrives Tuesday. I’m a complete beginner. I hope all goes well for you. 👍🏻

[@jgscatsandthings5208]

He's definitely made sure several times he's hit the spot. I have one of these, who I see every now and again. Don't know the sex of it, but I have had it from a sling. I do love how it grabs the food from its trap door. Very cute spiders 😸. Love your video Dave, definitely great seeing their full colour of their feet... Very cute

[@daveslittlebeasties]

🙏Thank you

[@lisafosc]

Fantastic footage as always guys.They are both stunning but the blue on the female is explicit, I adore how some of our spiders have these shots of colour whilst over all maintaining the camouflage needed from the rest of their bodys - its always such a treat. I also really appreciate you always sharing the good and bad - your honesty always makes me feel better lol xx

What fabulous footage of a beautiful pair of Tarantula's that are from the country that I grew up in from my teens. Just brilliant! I always look forward to Monday and Thursday mornings when I can watch the latest 'episode' of my favourite spider keeper. Well done Dave and 'Camera Lady' on such brilliant footage. One question if I may, Dave, can you give an update on how Brittany the Aussie Huntsman is getting on? The update has been requested by my 10yr old Granddaughter, Rebecca. She always catches up on your Channel when she is here at a weekend and she also owns her very own T.Albo 🥰

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Unfortunately she passed recently after producing 3 egg sacs which is quit common for huntsman ❤👍

[@kayelane5868]

So, if your 'Centurion' type name is Pseudoglomeris Magnifica, might Camera Lady like Idiothele Mira? 😉 If not, what would she choose? Those sure are lovely spiders, Dave. Too bad no one who owns them gets to see them often. I don't know if I've watched one of your pairing videos with so many successful 'love hugs'. They both appeared eager to proceed. I too wish we could understand their language.

[@wastelandsniper789]

I'm starting to feel like a spider voyeur. 😂 I do have a couple of spider questions if you have a moment. The first one is, when your C. versicolors were slings, did they like to spend basically all of their time in their webs? Mine recently molted and looks to be about 1" and I don't see it leave the web it has built (except when I sprayed some water in its enclosure and it went to get a drink). Even to eat it won't leave (though I have noticed that the fruit flies I put in there seem to be gone). The second question is with the T. seladonia slings, do they typically molt in the open? Mine hasn't started building a trapdoor yet, and seems to enjoy spending most of its time just chilling on the side of the sling pot it is currently in. I did see it recently pounce on a fruit fly, so I doubt it's in pre-molt, but it's nice to have an idea of what to look for when it is about to molt. My versicolor molt took me completely by surprise. Aside from not eating, it didn't show any of the pre-molt signs I've read about online. I must have just missed the actual process because when I checked it the morning it molted its legs were still a bright cream color. I am surprised how much size it gained. Makes me excited to see what my G. pulchra will look like when it finally decides to actually molt. As it is, it has just been sitting in its little burrow right up against the clear front of the enclosure for almost three weeks now.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Hi yrs verci will spend all their time in their webs all normal, and yes seladonia can and will moult outside of a trapdoor 👍

[@wastelandsniper789]

@@daveslittlebeasties Many thanks!

[@julierobertson148]

Great, scientifically valuable pairing video. Behavior of both parties was graphic and well documented as was the actual insemination. (Boy, does the female have gorgeous "sapphire slippers"!)

[@Liqtor]

The "rocking" from the female, is that from hear heartbeat. I know it's involved with their movement. The hydraulics with their blood would probably look like something similar.

[@SadieCleary]

I just picked up my first one of these on Saturday and am keeping her on moist substrate with dry on top but in a small box. How can I tell if it's too wet?

[@elainebines6803]

[@Ghostoad]

What is that bit of perspiration on his 3rd leg left side at 13:08?

[@Lewisiaisoutofcontext]

The female got one of her claws stuck to his foot when she pulled back at 11:40 so it started bleeding. Either the wound is small enough to clot (tarantula blood/hemolymph has poor coagulation capabilities) or he'll end up self-amputating that leg, if the bleeding doesn't stop. They just pop it off, the same way a lizard drops its tail. He'll be fine either way.

[@Ghostoad]

@@Lewisiaisoutofcontext Good eye. Thanks.

There are some Ornithoctoninae like Ornithoctonus sp. malthai making a trap door as well.

[@katherinekoza6536]

Dave how are T's measured ? Length of body , or span of legs for diameter ?

[@wastelandsniper789]

DLS - diagonal leg span. Dave may correct me, but from what I understand it's from the end of the rearmost leg on one side to end of the forwardmost opposite front leg.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I use leg span its easier 👍

[@katherinekoza6536]

@@daveslittlebeasties , If you are using leg span , what do you use to measure the leg span . ? Judging by eye sight ,Your hand span knowing how many inches your hand span is , or guessing the approximate size of a T ,or holding in the air a tape measure above the T''s leg span ?

[@ericbeeman8717]

Idk if this will help u or not but the first time pairing this species I found out in 15 to 20 days they're ewls in 25 to 30 days u get first instar in 30 to 40 days u get second instar found in my time raising them they don't like moisture to awful much and they can tolerate a lower temp very nicely and the males once mature they last generally close to a year and they will eat constantly while mature and if he's made sperm webs the females almost always have a sack within 30 days from initial pairing something else if the female does have a sack usually if the tank conditions are moist then the sack may not make it and she may eat it as the moisture will make the eggs rot for some reason as when a friend mine tried producing these he kept them in a humid environment and the container some what moist and every time the females ate the sack or they molded my first time producing these only had 1 do that the other 4 had sacks each sack carried 45 to 53 babies ruffly
