We have native funnelwebs in this part of Australia, including an Atrax sp., but I'm very glad to say I've never run into one. I also spent a lot of time running around in my grandparents 1/2 acre Sydney backyard as a kid (which they cleared themselves in the 40s), if I were to do it again I'd be far more careful!

[@jamiemiller7316]

You are definitely the spider wisperer! Thanks for another wonderful video.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Wow, thank you!❤️❤️❤️

[@richardhall5221]

Spiders are my absolute nightmare. I just discovered this channel a few days ago and for some reason I've been binging episodes ever since. It's fascinating to me. I still get the shakes, and my heart rate goes up everytime you reach into an enclosure. 😱

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Welcome aboard! my friend ❤️❤️❤️👍

[@skippyb.coyote895]

That was an extraordinarily impressive rehousing! I'm only keeping fairly docile new world tarantulas, but your rehousing guides have been so helpful in teaching how to interact with the more skittish species like my Dolichothele diamantinensis without stressing them out when they need to be moved. It seems like most keepers really push on their spiders with long straws and such, which the spider doesn't like one bit, when a gentle touch on the feet with a soft paint brush tip is all it takes to coax them along without upsetting them =)

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤❤❤❤

[@nycisme9290]

When I first started watching tarantula videos (believe it or not, I thought learning about them would lessen or alleviate my arachnophobia….it’s helping), some postings would rile their animals into flipping over and THAT DID NOT help my fears. At. All. Then I stumbled on to Dave’s channel. I’m calm. Gentle. And I will tolerate coexisting with spiders which is as close to loving a spider as I can go at this time. I have been looking at perhaps getting a jumping spider but then I remember that may be a responsibility I’m not ready for. Just yet. 🙂 but now I find them really interesting and creatures that dare I say, quite exotically beautiful.

As an Aussie who keeps our native Funnelwebs. I can see similar resemblances. The Japanese speices are stunning.

Better luck next time 🙏 Very calm video today when it probably should have been a very jumpy one 🤣🤣 👍😊

[@tinkmarshino]

Fantastic! I have over come my fear of spiders by owning a tarantula back in my 20's in the 70's.. But until I watched this program I had never actually thought of spiders as beautiful.. But over time I see it! I see the beauty in these little creatures The way you handle them is just amazing.. and mesmerizing.. Thanks Dave.. I truly appreciate all you do to share your passion..

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you for supporting our channel im so glad you see them as I do ❤️❤️👍

[@tinkmarshino]

@@daveslittlebeasties It has become my pleasure.. But my wife?.. Well she is not so fond of the little beasties.. every time she finds a spider I catch it and take it outside.. She is amazed that I can touch them. We only have the black widow our here.. and that one we hardly ever see.. But I am more careful and make sure to put them down by the house vent so they can get back to the dark seclusion they like.. Carry on my brother and thanks again!

Dave you have balls buddy. You couldn’t pay me to do that . I find spiders fascinating…. While they are on a screen. When i see em in real life they creep me out. 😂 those funnel webs are pretty damn cool. A shame the mating wasn’t successful but i’m sure you will try again which i look forward to seeing. I hope you and the Mrs have a great new year Dave

The funnel webs scare me waaayy more than the tarantulas. Mighty mighty little beasties!

[@barbhelle5481]

Thank you very much. She really is a beautiful spider.

[@SouthernCrossMotors]

They are huge lol. I live in Brisbane, Australia and not far from where I live we have the Northern Tree Dwelling Funnel Web (Hadronyche formidabilis). They are the largest we have in Australia , body length 40 - 50mm long, and there is a bit of arguing, but it seems to be the most toxic / potent of our Aussie funnel webs, and in the top 2 or 3 dangerous in the world. The Japanese cousin is pretty darn big too by the looks and every bit as scary! Thanks for the videos and letting us be a part of your fascinating world 😀

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Your very welcome my friend the Japanese Funnel-web can get to 5+ inches 👍

Well done on the rehousing. That could have been so much more difficult and scary. Amazing.

[@rebelchast612]

Brilliant video as always Dave. I find the way you rehouse so therapeutic and stress free !

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@reading.with.creepy.crawlies]

I have only worked with non-medically significant spiders because of the speed the medically significant ones have. It is faster than these old hands can move and eyes can see! It is this speed that makes me have fear, not the actual venom. Watching you move this very fast and notoriously cranky spider (even when you were being so very gentle, yours postured, which surprise me! Cranky lady!) with aplomb, and it went well, I know that it is possible to own one myself. I need to be relaxed like I am with my a. Avicularia, each of mine being quirky and different, but sweet. ❤ I can think of them all in the way, eventually, that I regard my hundreds of Pholcus phalangioides in the house. 😊 Inspiring video - thank yo🌻🕸

Absolutely STUNNING Spider!!!!! If not for your videos I honestly do not believe that many people would get the chance to see many of these types of Amazing creatures, tarantulas yes but the variety of other types of big and beautiful spiders I just really don't see many opportunities and the enclosures are beautiful as well... Great Video!!

What I love from your videos is the respect you show towards these creatures. I am not into this hobby, but definitely like your content anyways because of the fascination these animals create for me.

Great husbandry demonstration with a gorgeous specimen.

[@guineatte]

I have a quite strong case of arachnophobia and I don’t really understand why, because I know that the spiders I encounter in my house are at least as afraid of me as I am of them. I managed to teach myself to coexist with the skinny cellar spiders at home but never the giant house spiders we have here in the UK. So when I came across your one of your videos I thought I watch it to see how much I can bear it. And now I am hooked or trapped in the spider web, so to speak. Your calm demeanour and explanations and the great camera work make it so fascinating that I watched already quite a few videos. And have now subscribed. Thank you for your videos.

Dave, I must say I'm really really appreciative of the way you call dirt what it is... I'm not a goose, the word "substrate" is about as ambiguous as a word can be... So I love the fact that you will tell us your using "cheap potting mix" as opposed to mildly expensive potting mix.. 😃👍

[@ozbubbles1]

Dave and precious Mrs C.L. I love how clean you keep the enclosures, incl. the glass. Some of the other breeders have filthy enclosures and I often wonder if it makes any difference to the spiders life or pairing?. All I wanted to say at the end is" put the lid onnn"😊. I see a well kept spider but no beauty maybe one day when my phobia is weaker. I love how you both work together and the education you bring us. So many thanks and grateful for your interest and care of your "pets"😂🤣💙💓
