I love this species. They are so fuzzy and cute!

[@timothythorne9182]

You have one of my new favorite KZbin channels. I love seeing these spiders in their natural habitat. I would absolutely love to do what you do. Thanks for sharing these adventures. I hope I can catch up on all that you've uploaded, and look forward to many more videos from you.

[@derekmorrison1426]

I had no ideas these massive spiders were like this. They peaceful crawl to figure out what’s going on and then they jump away 😌

[@_sky.the.lone.wolf_99]

aww i love spiders!

[@iandavies7991]

I remember one of the old books that I read. Don't remember which one but it's one of the classics. In it there is a picture of an avic that had built it's burrow on top of a propane tank outside the hotel 🤣 I remember being gob smacked because until then I'd imagined Tarantula as being these illusive spiders that you have to travel weeks in to unchartered jungle to find. I realised that they are often to people what our little orb weavers in our gardens are to us 🤯

Do you have any records of temperature and humidity?

[@tijmen131]

Seen them in the wild, those spiders are fast

[@jordanbrackeen9186]

Love the footage as well as the music, creates an incredible vibe, palm trees swaying in the wind, a euphoric ambient song. It’s brilliant. Thank you. I also love A.Metalica it was my first T. Please bring us more incredible videos like this one.

[@lucieboyland1369]

Yes it's beautiful isn't it really soothing as you're watching

[@lucieboyland1369]

Such a fuzzy cutie love spiders 🕷 😍

[@bigbaby2775]

So beautiful

[@ytokskrskritisme4670]

Great work gentlemen. Keep doing what you do. Thank you.

[@vladtepes9614]

Nice video!

[@mrdee734]

Probably one of my favs

[@iandavies7991]

4:00 she is huge for an Avic avic. My adult female was half this size. Gosh she's beautiful though 😍

[@BlackBerry1x1]

Now that you tore up their nests what are they gonna do for a home/protection?

[@bugsnstuff]

They can spin a surprising amount of silk in a short time and repair any damage very easily.

[@BlackBerry1x1]

@@bugsnstuff oh that's good then.

[@johndenman2861]

Awesome awesome stuff 🕷

[@wildboy8346]

What's the name of the tarantula please are they available in uk

[@wildboy8346]

I have Caribbean versi's but want one of these, what's the common name

[@Beecher492]

They are called Pinktoe tarantulas, and are commonly found in pet stores because of their docile nature.

[@TruthIsTheNewHate84]

Avicularia metallica. Although they recently changed the name. Most places will know what you are talking about if you ask them if they have metallic pinktoe T's or Avicularia Metallica. There is a pet store near me that has a juvenile about 2 inches that comes with the terrarium for 40 usd.

[@glennsolva1567]

Fantastic footage. Lovely avics. Thanx 4 filming & sharing this, loved it.Take care. 🤗🕷🇸🇪

[@tarantulaguy1998]

Beautiful discoveries of a stunning genus. Also did you hear about the revision of names of some Avicularia members? Versicolor is no longer a species in the Avicularia genus, and is now recognised as Caribena Versicolor, and Caribena is now used to refer to all 'pink toed' tarantulas that are distributed in the islands bordering Central and South America, like the 'Puerto Rican Pink Toe' (Avicularia Laeta) is also now a Caribena. Don't ask me why, but that's taxonomy for you.

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Love these video's finding Tarantulas in the wild it's like a dream to be able to do that plus it gives me a proper look on how they live in the wild so I can set there enclosures up as naturally as possible 👍

[@CyberRabid.]

I hope this was all filmed early in the day. It would be terrible if they didn't have time to rebuild their retreats before nightfall. There are alot of nocturnal predators that feed on avics. If the spider is out in the open it is almost certain death.

[@THEdjpluto]

Aww, poor thing! You destroyed its home! 😢

[@aprilann7510]

😓

[@mrdee734]

The silk is not her home. The silk suffers everyday somekind of destruction (water, wind, animals), etc. Destroying its home would be chop the tree or destroying the hole.

[@igris6128]

This video is amazing definitively a thumbs up from me

[@drumking241]

awesome, so cool seeing them in the wild, my very first Tarantula ever was a male pink toe, he was great, never struck, bit, or flicked hairs, unfortunately i didnt know anything about Ts at the time and had him in a too small cage and kept him like you would a reptile, but feed him good, and he lived a year the matured out then died naturally, now that im an experienced keeper probably will be getting a female 👍

[@mainemade300]

Gaint avic ,my 2 don't like human skin for some reason, The one in the tube is like nothen here yo see just my pretty pink toes . Question have j ever found the cumulative living or more then one in an home tree ?

[@bugsnstuff]

Thanks for the comments. No, we've never seen Avicularia spp. living communally.

[@mainemade300]

@@bugsnstuff when I bought my avic both of them I was told by the dealer they lived together in the wild ,backwater reptiles, I've asked a couple other Knowledgeable keeps an there answer was the same ,Tom's big spiders ,petko that I would end up with one fat spider, So thank you ur Definitive knowledge ends my debate on the topic,I mean if it happens you guys probably would have seen it , It kinda seemed unnatural to me not enough pray for every individual so ,they would naturally disperse,👍

[@Edigor100]

very nice to see how these spiders are living in the wild, kind of what I was expecting anyways but still really interesting.

[@TheEproxymous]

Another great video guys 2 thumbs up!!!

[@CornyEveryth1ng]

I love my Pink Toe, but she is not good with handling, she is very fast and will run off my hand as soon as I take her out

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

Cool to see there pink toes just sticking out

[@segev106]

So good looking !

[@waynedejong5525]

WOW!! These adventures look so awesome! Thanks for making these videos 😁

[@bugsnstuff]

Glad you like them!

[@OliFPV]

Realy awesome, now i know a lot more about PinkToes Avicularia spec. 😘👍 THX and greetings from germany 🍀 🕷🕷🕷

[@jzblue345]

I mabye would handle a pet spider but no way I'm picking up a wild tarantulas my luck I'll be allergic and get bit

[@t2tarantula552]

Stunning and I didn't know they jumped like that

[@janzi830]

Very beautiful specie, i wish i could keep one :)

[@debbiemcclure2874]

Very gorgeous species!!! I love them!!!

[@chester3087]

Do thay bite humans?

[@debbiemcclure2874]

@@chester3087 all spiders can bite. Depends on how defensive they whether they will or not. It also depends on how threatened they feel. But I have some that I have spooked and they've basically balled up like a scared bunny but I have a couple that will definitely bite when spooked. It also depends on the spider

[@mattlord3660]

One of the people working in production told me that these guys bring all the Ts with them. They plant them strategically and pretend they found them in the wild. Its OK, just wanted to let everyone know. Avics are no longer available in the wild, you can find them at Petco though.

[@timothythorne9182]

Why on Earth would these guys travel with specimens and how would they create the silk tunnels they're finding them in?
