Phormictopus auratus, Cuban Bronze Tarantula rehouse and care

[@dawnt7950]

Her carapace looks like a gold nugget!! She’s absolutely gorgeous!!! Stunning footage camera lady!!!!

[@twometerpeter]

Phormictopus are so underrated. Beautiful, large, inquisitive, fearless, great feeding response, always out. Definitely my favourite.

[@donaldretallack9743]

Lmao I can't help but say "hello guys" with you EVERY TIME! Lol

[@stephjsmith1991]

Me too! Every time 😂

[@tagesvaterpatrick8780]

She actually looks like she is wearing a golden armor ❤ so beautiful and so well behaved. 😊

[@amyesworldcatherinesminime7945]

Great to see you making the display enclosures again. Stunning spiders deserve to be shown off.

[@chrisobt]

Absolutely stunnig spiders! My fave Phormictopus sp. ❤

[@sleepingninjaquiettime]

She looks like a happy spider.

[@leesreptilesandaquatics6368]

I just got 2 of these slings and I was looking for videos on this species I'm so happy you uploaded this video.

[@EvokeASMR]

What an absolute beauty she is. I’m sure she’s going to love her lush new enclosure. Thank you for sharing the rehouse - I love these videos! ☺️❤️

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much!

[@Gillian-xl7wb]

Nice Spider Dave👍

[@a.t.nelson1670]

Another stunner! She is a gorgeous spider! Thanks for all the helpful info. Thanks to Camera Lady too. 🕷❤

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks for watching!❤

[@andyross2788]

Absolutely stunning colouring, particularly the carapace

[@mikepetersen7319]

Aww❤that fits! I just got me a sling 5 months ago. I was actually looking for a P. spec.green but saw a picture of these and thought: You know what? They look even more pretty. They look as if they're plated with gold...so lovely ❤ but the enclosure looks great too. Like a little landscape👍

[@tonyfanfarone]

The shot starting at 25 really showed the wine colouring well. Camera Lady deserves an award for capturing the movements, colour and all other aspects of your charges. Her photography has allowed me to become more familiar with their movements, which at first seemed foreign enough to my eyes that they wierded me out I guess. Thanks to the access you two provide for observation, limited though it is by comparison to all the observation you surely do in person, I have come to appreciate the grace and beauty of these spiders and Tarantulas. Dave, you are turning me into an aficionado with your knowledge of their behaviour and husbandry. You guys make a great team. Thanks again for what you are doing here. I like this beauty and her attitude as much as my current favourite regalis. First time I have seen this one, stunning.

[@susannesamuelsson2930]

What a beautiful spider 🕷❤ and she got a new lovely enclosure too! Greetings to you, dear Dave, and to our sweet camera, Lady! Take care all and have a wonderful day! 🍂🌞🍂

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you too!❤

[@loisxander6321]

Would you please show a picture of you and camera lady when you and your beasties move into the new backyard spider web.

[@georgecardiff1946]

Fantastic video Dave, what a stunning species of spider 🕷, Phormictopus are brilliant, very smooth rehouse aswell Dave, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

So nice of you❤

[@Jrs-tl4kk]

"To wake it up you gotta get it moist" my mind went into the gutter my bad 😂

[@daveslittlebeasties]

[@danny_mack]

[@katehodges1296]

I have a Phormictopus Atrichomatus and she is stunning and very chunky. Love her. Bronze armour indeed.

[@bridgethoskins9809]

What a cool looking spider. I love seeing all the different ones. I didn't realize there were so many. Love these rehouse and care videos. Can't say enough how valuable the information is that you share. I've learned so much from you guys. Looking forward to the new beastie room. Thanks for all you do!!!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🤗❤

[@craneman2201]

What a great video!, 1st because you talked about the substrate, like we did recently on messenger, and second because you talked about the phormictopus species, I have the P.sp.Green and an unknown Phormictopus sp.(I send you a picture). Thank you very much for this video Dave!! greetings from The Netherlands

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Your very welcome 🙏

[@rachellehenson5568]

One of my favs!! Voracious eaters as well. The Phormictopus species can be quite defensive, but they are all just beautiful Ts. She looks stunning on that green moss. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day 💜

[@Cephalocereus_senilis]

Such a beauty with the gold metallic shimmering carapace.🔝

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Couldn't agree more!❤

[@jimmyjohansson]

What a stunner 😍

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Lovely home. I love the way you make them and Camera Lady's photos. She is exquisite. The bronze carappace glistens and there is bronze on her legs,too.

[@MOONOVERMIAMI]

Hello great video information and rehouseing Dave

[@anythingoldmechanical]

Stunning Dave, and your enclosure dressing, puts your spider collections on another level. Truly excellent!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Glad you enjoyed it❤

[@heleninglis9961]

That Irminia pic is awesome! What amazing talent ❤

[@daveslittlebeasties]

We agree!❤

[@belindalaing7592]

[@SelenesCreationsByTheSea]

Good morning Dave and Cameralady 😊 I just love Phormictopus, I have Auratus, Full green and Atrichomatus

[@ianbones03]

Thanks Dave, you’ve made Mia’s day again! We will see you at Brighton (it’s 13 spiders now with the little bonus Incei you gave her when we were there🤫🤣)

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Make sure you come see us ❤

[@joegrossman5073]

Dang 30 min late for first lol. Love your videos keep up the hard work.

[@konohamarusaurtobi409]

Thats a pretty gold Dave on that spider 🕷.

[@dm1342]

Great video. Lovely spider.

[@JohnnysCafe_]

She's a beauty, that carapace looks as if it's metal, it will be interesting following her progress, pairing and egg sac etc. As usual your spiders are relaxed and well behaved because of the proper handling.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏

[@brentpearce1516]

What a sweet card.

[@321cynth]

I was wondering about the Beastie Mix. You haven’t mentioned it for a while. But of course, you’ve been really busy😉. Nice work Dave and Camera Lady!

[@grahamfaeh7243]

What a stunner! Thanks Dave

[@albarosewilliams7443]

She's beauty. I could see the red in her when you shined your light. You gave her a lovely piece of real estate there. I can't order your calender until next week. I hope you will still have some.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I’m sure I can keep one for you ❤

[@albarosewilliams7443]

Thank you so much.

[@konohamarusaurtobi409]

Hi Dave 🕷 and Camera 📷 lady and happy Veterans day. And hope you guys are having a good day.

[@elainebines6803]

@@davinamorgan8466 I would think probably best to email Dave?. Contact details are always in description box.

[@mariestubbs4606]

She's gorgeous n luv the enclosure .

[@lauriefulk3812]

Hi from Fl, the temp today will be 86. Good job Camera Lady and Dave

[@leesreptilesandaquatics6368]

Love how pretty you made that enclosure for her . My cuban bronz slings are only 1/2 inches and they were very bolty when I put them into their enclosures

[@Indiskret1]

Very inviting and nice looking! Wouldn't mind booking a night in the Cork Cavern myself!

[@cat_astrophe5]

Am I the only one that noticed that Dave has camera lady as his phone picture?? Awww!

[@sandyeubanks4972]

She is very pretty ❤

[@phillipadoran9341]

Fab video guys will be ordering when I get paid or Christmas out the way for kids first. Then it time for me to treat myself seen as they won't let me have a real one lol😊

[@candyscott489]

Excellent !! 🤎💛🤎

[@DoctorPolski]

Just got a 3cm sling of this species from the lovely Mel and Tez at M&T Tarantulas. Also had Phormictopus atrichomatus from them too. All are voracious eaters that will happily take on same size prey.

[@elainebines6803]

I'm going to be cheeky, if it's long gone I understand. I missed video this morning and was trying to find you. I couldn't think of your KZbin name! Where is that neon sign? It was reassuring and reminded me of your title. So miss it. Please find room in the beastie cave 😊

[@daveslittlebeasties]

It will be coming back ❤

[@mariarnliasi2513]

Amazing spider ❤

[@emilytolman46]

Hello from Provo Utah USA! Wow what a beauty!!!

Thanks and welcome❤

I hope she will be a mother one day!

[@A.Steeeve]

Beautiful "rusty" 🤩

[@xlilcruzivert4522]

Dave! I have a peculiar little wolf spider living in my backyard. Not much larger than a quarter. However, she doesn’t live on the ground which seems out of sorts for the species; she has built a burrow behind sconce on the side of my house. We live next to a forest so we have wolf spiders all over our yard with the occasional indoor visitor. But its unique to see one build their dwelling high off the ground. Would love to get you shots of her webbing as now there is full webbed turrets attaching to the light and now connecting vertical to the house. We also have orb weavers who live on the front end of the house lol.

[@deewhitcha6014]

beautiful!

[@vanessasmith5227]

Love the P auratus, and I agree, they are overlooked. I've got 2 of them, both nice sized juvies. One confirmed male so fingers crossed the other is female, but if not, then it's not 😅😅😅

[@reecetony7096]

Remeber guys dont over mist and love your spider 😂 i have got 8 versicolor slings a year ago and there all still alive bone dry enclosers only thing i do is put water droplets in there webs had no deaths people say to keep the soil wet i had 3 deaths doing this a long time ago so i deceided to use bone dry enclosers and i have 100% succses rate love your channel dave 🎉

[@graemewright2046]

PROFF you have a skill in enclosure building with such effect. as we expect some amazing information for the hobby to hopefully take this tarantula futher in the hobby. CAMERA LADY some great footage. many thanks guys and take care---PS how many different spiders do you have in the collection--ha ha ha

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I have no idea my friend 😂

[@matt_w]

Beautiful spider! Dave rehousings are so calming (usually.) :) You said you wouldn't feed her hissing cockroaches. Can you say why not? I had a P. atrichromatus that I used to feed hissers to every so often.

[@censoredname6490]

As always good video. P. Auratus is already on my list to join my sp. dominican purple and sp. full green :)

[@Kirbyroth]

She got some bronze armor

[@robinwelch9784]

Hi Dave, you need to purchase an endoscope to use for looking in the caves for egg sacks and the such. I think it would help you out a lot. Love your channel. Robin.

[@pixie706]

What a good idea and saves disturbing the spider unnecessarily. I hope Dave does get one. 😊

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I have one 😊

[@DarrenJamesRoe]

What a beautiful girl

[@brucekenkel3688]

What are your thoughts on adding vermiculite and fine bark pieces?

[@gallantpioneer8523]

The gold carapace is absolutely incredible 😮 i need to add this T to the bucket list I’ve always wondered Dave , do you keep the blackout curtain down during the day ? Or do you have it open to let natural sunlight in ?

[@daveslittlebeasties]

It’s always closed

[@robinrowland4882]

I collected some substaight from woods near me, and it had native wolf spiders in it. How do you make sure all the little beasties that can harm your tarantula are out of the soil you've collected.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Just check it through beforehand

[@robinrowland4882]

Hey remember when your carolina wolf spider tried to lay and egg sac but just lay a bunch of goo/liquid? Mine just did the same thing and I thought she was mated. Did your spider have any I'll effects from this phantom sac?

None at all she just didn’t web the sac

How long did it take before you stopped flinching when they go for the paintbrush? 😂 I know it's coming but I still jump! I try not to because I don't want them to react to it. I get so angry with myself afterwards. 😂
