Day off..coffee in hand & dave pops up with a video...perfect!!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤❤❤❤

[@Kanzi--]

23:32 balls of steel for having that spider under your left hand

[@Galetaer]

It’s amazing how different their personalities are despite being the same kind of spider

[@miketheknife2]

I always say spiders and Ts are a lot like humans, meaning they have their own and different personalities ! This video proves that ! Excellent video Dave !

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏

[@DragonflyArtz1]

These ones really strike up my phobia. Everything about them says trouble to me. But you Dave, you put me at ease.

Always feel like I’m in the most interesting college class when I watch these videos. Amazing content every time.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I appreciate that! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Who's been awake and waiting??? Lol!! Amazing spiders! Wow!!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏

[@AskMeABee]

I love that I get to see them through the screen. Thank you Dave and camera lady!!

[@Brascofarian]

As a resident of Japan, I was relieved to hear those guys live in Okinawa, they get upset so easily. Your tarantulas are teddy bears in comparison... and I think almost all of the tarantulas I've seen are prettier. Don't get me wrong, these Japanese Funnelwebs are fascinating spiders, but you can tell they evolved in a real rat race environment because they are triggered so easily.

[@Ulfr-]

Ill never grow bored of these.

[@leesreptilesandaquatics6368]

Perfect timing on the upload I had something to listen to and watch as I was feeding my tarantulas. I just love the education you share with everyone about all tarantulas and spiders best tarantula channel ever.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

That is awesome! Thank you so much ❤

You do realize that your logo is great, AND as an added bonus, it highly resembles the hindquarters of numerous 1959 Chevrolet automobiles. Love your stuff Dave. Just told a bunch of ne'er-do-wells', fellow Veteran's over at Valor Guardians. Hopefully you'll pick up a few more subscribers. I would like to see you hit 100K. You're a very interesting gentleman my friend. Thank you for the endless hours of entertainment. You and Cutting Edge Engineering are about the only two videographers that I even consider watching more than once. Curtiss is just plain good and you are calm, gentle and clearly love your spiders.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much for your support my friend we really do appreciate it ❤️👍

badass looking spider gives me the eebee geebees watching

You’ve got a big set on you big Dave . It was making me nervous with all the tubs opened at the same time

[@themantisgarden]

Those are scary, scary spiders Dave.

Yay, I'm so excited! This is one of my favorite species that you keep!

I think these are my favorite that you have. I love updates on these cool spiders!

[@infiniteseries6210]

I never imagined that after a hard day's work, it could be so relaxing to watch a guy handle spiders. Great channel about really fascinating animals. It's a hobby which you can transform fear into fascination with.

Thank you 🙏 ❤️

It's interesting how at 16:29 you can see she's eager to get to the roach, but she's forgetting that she has to unhook her fangs from the silk first hahaha

[@mikepetersen7319]

Gorgeous Beasties. Of course You'll have to make nice display enclosures for some of them, so that they can build beautiful webcastles.

[@elizabethdurocher8308]

They are so very beautiful. Thanks for pointing out the ones that had just molted. Understanding what to look for makes taking care of them much better.

[@Aethgeir]

I think these are my favorite beasties on the channel. They're just so exciting to watch!

[@VauxhallViva1975]

Definitely not the spider for me! WAY to easily aggressive, and FAR too fast for my already fast-beating heart....(no, I don't like spiders, but this channel is fab as a form of therapy. Learn something about them, and they don't seem so scary anymore, and looking at them close-up also helps. Could never do that before. Just close-up video would freak me out. Now, I find it fascinating - but don't like the fast movers yet!

[@barbhelle5481]

Super video! They are neat spiders and very scary looking if I were tiny.😂

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks for watching!❤

Great to see an update! They certainly have grown quite a bit from the last video.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I think so too!👍

[@stevenburgess2856]

Amazing spiders but they look scary!

[@Indiskret1]

I've said before how I come around on my spider fears when you saved the tarantula (again thanks for that), but funnel webs were my real nightmares. Probably watched to many Australian shows! 😅 I imagined peacefully walking around and a trap door opening, dual fangs ending my life, lol. Your love for spiders is a game changer and I will never look at spiders the same way. Already before this I've managed to not kill a spider in many years. Have a bit of an ant problem in my house (and flies as usual, composting and all) and the spiders keep them in check, so when I see a spider in the bathroom I just think "go and get them!".

[@johnwestergren2372]

I've been so afraid of spiders pretty much my entire life, but I'm slowly starting to see the beauty of them after videos such as yours. Really like how you don't make it out to be a big thing, just calmly talking about them, explaining what they do, what they're about and showing they're not the monsters my imagination tells me they are. Thanks for all your awesome videos!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

thank you thats our intention ❤️👍

[@kristinmontague9084]

Lovely video as always. Thanks again to you and camera lady! Really enjoy your videos. 🕷 ❤️

Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💕💙🕷️hope you’re both doing well and enjoying your Thursday. That was a very enjoyable video Dave, it was great seeing your Funnel Webs again! Camera Lady was brilliant too with her closeup’s 😊 I loved seeing all the different personalities of each Spider, you wouldn’t want to handle any of them either 😂 Glad to see that your project is coming along nicely. I like your new enclosure one of your lucky spiders is going to test out. Take care both, have a great weekend 💙💕🕷️😘xxx

Thank you we will see how they get on❤️

[@Alecsweet3057]

They are starting to looking awesome dave.. so impressed with their personalities. That's why I really enjoy your channel.

Keep them coming..👍👊💪🕷️🕸️

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks 👍

Interesting how not all of them reared up in a threat display. I'd guess like people, some are more prone to irritation than others. Always love witnessing a takedown. Stunners ! Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

I have a versicolor sling that sits with his teeth stretched out too I put a picture of him doing it on the arachnoboards because it was something I had never seen a t do before very interesting your funnels are doing it too.

Sorry I'm late, but slowly catching up! Aren't they looking fab Dave!.. The day you finally get an egg sack, I'll be ecstatic for you (and for me as I need some of their babies 😂😂). Its great to see your breeding projects from start to finish, I dont think people quite understand just how must work goes into it. I've not managed to check a fallax moult out either yet, mine builds a chamber within its lair to moult in, tried a couple of times to get them out, but i always end up destroying it. Well done guys, and thanks so much for dedicating so much of your time to share your knowledge xx

there hasn't been a single fatal spider bite in Australia since antivenom was introduced many decades ago

[@marcel_max]

Another great video, I'm not into entomology at all and don't dare getting close to spiders but this channel is fascinating for sure. One funny thing I'd like to share: There are some spiders, when I look at them, because of their fangs, they remind me of that "the thing" actor who's first name is Wilford.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Welcome aboard!❤

[@marcel_max]

@@daveslittlebeasties Thanks. 25 years ago I moved to Taiwan from Canada, where spiders are usually as big as a 25cents. A few days after I got here I saw a huntsman spider that to me appeared so huge I got goosebumps on the whole surface of my back. Now I feel much better and let them be.

[@xegames6491]

You left so many of the lids open at the same time and it made me so nervous! Having to watch one spider at a time is hard enough for me. I don't know how you can manage a dozen really aggressive ones at the same time. Mad respect for you bro 😎

Won’t lie, I’d be intimidated to keep funnel spiders. They just seem so skittish, and if they do fang you… well the term “medically significant” seems an understatement.

[@Darren-jo4if]

I think the spinneretes on the funnel webbers are almost as manouverable as the human fingers, they make fascinating "kingdoms of life and death" depending on how you view such things...

When I. was keeping spiders and other inverts, I used to drill a little hole above the water dish and used a 60cc syringe with a very narrow piece of tubing on it to fill the water dish through the hole. Used to be very quick as I used to have to water pretty often due to the heat here.

I know have better knowledge and appreciation .if I come across a male stuck in my bath , I just let him craw on my hand and put him in a corner to continue his journey to find a girlfriend who may or may not eat him 🤷‍♀️

I'm from Argentina and now that i remember, when i was a kid there were funnel web spiders that built their webs in holes in the wall. I used to touch its web with a stick and the spider attacked, i don't know if they were funnel webs or not but they looked exactly like the ones in the video, only one little difference their size was between 1 and 1,5 cm.
