Monocentropus balfouri 30+juvies to rehouse all together uploaded

[@Aethgeir]

Every time I come to this channel, I go, "woah 30-some minutes! Well, maybe I'll just watch a bit." And then I end up watching the whole thing because it's just so mesmerizing.

[@brookeggleston9314]

Whoa!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

That’s awesome thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️👍

[@chiquenatrix2508]

Same! Lol

[@Rocky-lh4od]

Totally agree ❤️

Same here, every time! 🙌🏼😂

[@bobfor4868]

This one had everything: An enclosure balanced on the corner of the table, fingers in the enclosure and spiders doing runners all over the place! Bloody brilliant!

Dave you should have called this one the great escape 🤣🤣🤣 x

[@katiedid7800]

I think your videos offer the most accurate information and the best videography of any I’ve tried, and without heavy metal or some other completely obnoxious background music! I want to shake some of the hobbyists the second I click on their videos! And there is so much dangerous misinformation flooding KZbin that I’m amazed that they’re able to get away with it. I’m just very grateful for you and the fabulous Camera Lady. Please keep the videos coming.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so very much for your kind words ❤️👍

[@candylovejoy9805]

Your calmness while they are running all over the place is amazing. I would be dead.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏

[@ianobrien3248]

Omg I made myself keep watching with anxiety rising. It was fascinating and your narration is really relaxing and certainly made it easier to make it through, but wow, when they would start climbing out of both tanks my feet were tapping at a million miles an hour.

I'm an arachnophobe and I'm grateful for your videos. I'm learning a lot in an attempt to handle my fears. I've even taken to pausing your videos at times and sketching out these incredible creatures. Thank you so much!

dave being chill while 10 balfouris are on the run is something i yearn for

[@glamdolly30]

You both have such calm, capable energy, never lose patience or confidence, and always handle your spiders with aplomb. This is how it should be done! Very impressive work - glad you are committing it to video on KZbin, to help educate (and entertain) others - you are a great example to follow.

[@jonathanb1406]

Wild that I am SO stressed watching them all escaping over the side of the enclosures repeatedly and you're the one actually doing it and just aren't bothered at all, haha.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

😂 There not going anywhere 😂👍

[@melissajessup1466]

There are 32 in all. You accidentally counted 27 twice because there were like 3 trying to escape at the same time. I have arachnophobia and I watch these and other videos to try to desensitize myself. I know it’s helped me too. I’m from North Carolina in the US and I saw a HUGE fishing spider on the side of our house one night (there’s a creek right beside us) and yes I screamed and ran BUT I went back outside and took pics of it to later identify it. And I was so proud of myself that I did so correctly. A year ago I would’ve never gotten that close to even take a picture. It’s eyes were shining white in the flash of the camera. Granted I have very small hands but this spider was as big as my hand is and I’m not exaggerating in the least. You know everything about spiders so I know you believe me on that one. I appreciate him going back to the creek to eat up some minnows cause I haven’t seen him since.

[@OC_Tarantulas]

That was so cool and entertaining to watch 🤣🤣🤣. Made me laugh quite a bit. Thanks for this nice start of the week. 👌👌👍

[@lucnadeau2821]

I know that I will never be comfortable to remove debris with my bare hands. I use my long tongs, even if they're just Brachypelma and Grammostola. Not taking any chances of an accidental bite given how food motivated they are. A balfouri would possibly be one of the very OWs I'd consider acquiring. Nice job and once again major props for not panicking or anything. Goes to show you've worked with these enough than you can almost predict how they'll react to your actions. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

[@daveslittlebeasties]

They always react in different ways but you can steer them in the way want 👍

My Arizona blonde is the only one I’ve handled so far. She was really docile and seemed dopey the past 3 months since it’s been late autumn and winter but perked up and moving faster now

[@micheleleimbacher5867]

Great video as usual. It was fun to see some trying to escape while you caught up the others. I thought it would be absolute chaos, but with your calm, cool demeanor, as usual it all worked out with no drama. Thanks, it's amazing to see so many together like that, especially when you turned over the bark. :)

Growing up my sister had a shoulder pet tarantula that loved being with her so I'm not afraid of spiders so this was very fun and entertaining to watch. I would love a timelapse of them building their web nest. It feels like it would be so calming to watch. lol Thank you for sharing!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

So nice of you❤️👍

[@AldoCortesi]

Hello from New Zealand, Dave. We unfortunately can't keep any of these beasties here (apart from our local tunnelwebs), but me and my sons watch every video you make. You've sparked a real interest in my boys that I'm sure will stick with them. Thanks for producing such fantastic, informative content!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks that’s awesome my friend ❤️👍

[@davidm3maniac201]

Why can't you keep these spiders where you live?

[@staceydailey6394]

You are so right! I remember being a kid and having random curiosities about something and being directed to "go to the library" at which I would roll my eyes because even if I tried, I was likely not going to find the right book, much less did I want to read an entire book to find an answer! Kids today "wonder" boom 💥 instant gratification! And with amazing creators like Dave, it's not an answer, but a conversation and exploration like none other! Kudos for Dave and double kudos for being a dad who will share in your boys' interests!

[@staceydailey6394]

@David m3 maniac I expect it's because these non native species could pose a threat if they escape. In Florida, escaped/ let loose iguanas, pythons, and quakers, have pushed some native species out of thier homes and depleted thier foods. Now our power stations are full of communities of quakers, our back yards are full of iguanas, and our waterways are full of 10 foot pythons dangling from the trees. They have upset the ecosystem of the native species, never mind that I love the squawks and bright green of the quakers, and being an iguana lover, and keeper, loved feeding the wild iggies in the back yard. I could do without the pythons. 😆 🤣 😂

[@aryastark772]

Why can’t you keep them in NZ?

Spiders are fascinating little creatures. I love spiders as much as I love snakes...in someone else's house. Great to watch but glad you have them at your place...lol. My daughter did Black widow spiders in 3 cages and ended up with 8 egg sacks. You can image my reactions when they hatched. Called the zoo and they were thrilled to get them. They got all of them in 2 large paper bags sealed shut and the keepers were pretty happy.

[@jenshelley4737]

Balfouri are above all my favorite tarantulas! I have a much smaller community... and I adore them! All of yours look to be in excellent condition! Thank you for feeding my Balfouri addiction!!!🥰🥰🥰

This video is so interesting ! I’ve been into the hobby since I was 16 (I’m 23 now) and barely found out recently that there are communal tarantulas . I didn’t even know such a thing existed before . It blows my mind to see them all together like that without trying to eat each other. Subscribed 😄

[@MrSharp740]

Your channel is Awesome. I've been terrified of the tarantulas since I was a boy in Oklahoma. now I'm 30 and still afraid somewhat but not many of them are here in Ohio. Watching your videos shows me the soft calmer side of them. I could watch these videos for days with a roller coaster of emotions. soon hopefully I get the stones to actually try to hold one and conquer my fear. I've been taking things slow. I used to be scared of heights until I became a roofer and was up 60 floors in the air. Next fear is tarantulas. Keep doing what you're doing I hope you the best bud

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you and welcome to our channel my friend ❤️👍

[@joshgraziosi8159]

Never knew that many spiders could live that close together.

[@AshLilyNeko]

not many tarantulas can actually live together this way. most of them will kill/eat the other spiders when they get hungry or feel threatened. M. Balfouri are one of the few tarantula species that can be kept in a communal enclosure and they end up looking really awesome because of their heavy webbing. that's why in the new enclosure he has so many sticks and stuff - all webbing points for them. But yeah most spiders would not deal with this well haha even mating time can end up deadly for a lot of tarantula species.

[@gneghe85]

@@AshLilyNeko which is the other tarantulas that can live together?
