Pterinochilus murinus, OBT , Orange Bitey Thing rehouse and care of a LARGE OBT

[@Anthony-zp8ud]

Nobody handles their tarantulas as calmly as you. You make every T look like a beginner T in your videos. There is a lot to learn from watching you do your thing.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏

[@RobertStilkey]

Your right! Dave is clearly Awesome 😎

[@loopooh1632]

What a beautiful Orange Bitey Thing!

[@RedEyedCowboy]

I have never seen an OBT moved without threat posture. That right there was experience and practice!! So impressive.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much ❤️👍

[@tylerc6759]

The way she tucked her leg when you first nudged her was adorable. Spectacular rehouse

[@RixiV11]

Beautiful OBT, Dave for President

[@dieserscherzkeks]

Came to see how an experienced keeper may handle an OBT, which have quite the reputation, and thought of a difficult process. You made it seem so easy. Learned a lot.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏

[@bernadettelinfoot]

After watching this video I finally plucked up the courage and rehoused my obt. It went better than I thought thanks to you Mr Daves beasties 🕷

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thats wonderful just relax you got this ❤️👍

[@kalahrenee]

I have 2 big ones. One female, one male that I raised from slings. They tried to act tough more in the young age, now they are my calm sweethearts.

[@mikewinings4120]

You are the Bob Ross of spiders you use a paint brush, have a calming voice,loves nature and gentle,lol

[@mikewinings4120]

Happy little spiders

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤❤❤

[@katherineozbirn6426]

You are so methodical and prepared. I don't even watch other spider videos because the keepers think they have to act like clowns and then they play with the spiders like they are toys. We are keepers, not children acting with abandon with living things. Kudos to you, sir.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏❤❤

[@jonas2431]

Have you seen the dark den he has a sweet collection as well

[@nemesisofeden]

She's so big, yet so gentle! What a looker too! I'm sure everyone is glad you purchased her

[@biggtrux]

That is an amazing looking spider.

[@Wortnik]

A true master of your craft, calmest OBT vid I've ever seen! 😄

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you! 😊

[@stevejohnson1698]

Beautiful OBT Dave, amazing addition to your collection and channel! Just wanted to comment regarding the mesh segment of the video and share my recent personal experience. I lost my P.metallica back on the 10th of April when she got one of her front legs AND the opposite side back leg stuck on the mesh of an Exo nano tall. I knew she was due any day for a molt and she actually attempted to molt to free herself but obviously couldn't move her two stuck legs. The carapace popped and the abdomen started to peel away, but that's as far as she made it. By the time I got home and found her she was completely lifeless, fully stretched out, stuck to the mesh. Her death was no fault of her own. That one is on me as I had the plexiglass and tools to remove the mesh and mod the lid and should have done so before putting her in. I put her in thinking, meh, I'll replace it before it's an issue. She was in there less than a month before tragedy struck. My P.irminia got stuck to the mesh while I was home the very next day and I was able to free her. The mesh in all my exo's (luckily only 3 of them in use so far) was removed and replaced with drilled plexiglass that same week. I am glad you've not experienced such a tragedy in your collection as of yet. Be it 40 years or just 1 short month, it's not a problem until it is.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thats really odd I also use many exos without issue I really dont see how people are having issues ? im sorry for your loss my friend it sucks to lose a spider in any way ❤

[@stevejohnson1698]

@@daveslittlebeasties I was heartbroken to be honest. Mostly that I wasn't at home to help her. I think that was the worst part, knowing she got stuck there and suffered there while I was away doing life things. Thank you for taking the time to read and reply! I mean no disrespect, just wanted to share why I won't leave the mesh in them in the future! It was a sad outcome for sure. I even kept a rose hair on 2 inches of sub (cause people said to back then) in a 10 gallon with a mesh lid for over 10 years without an issue. Ya just never know I guess. Looking forward to your next video! Happy keeping!

Woah ! That's the largest obt I've ever seen the size of her/him apparently the (typical form ) can be the largest but this ones a show stopper weldone dave and camera lady

[@MrPuusilima]

This is exactly what i have been saying, OBT's have a reputations as mean,agressive etc.. even they can be really nice spiders. They just dont handle stress very well. But definetly they arent agressive. I just love these videos❤ Allways high respect towards spiders and great info! 😊

[@destroymysilence]

Just like me. I'm terrible with stress😂

[@denisetaylor4567]

My OBT is a lovely spider my curly hair on the other hand is the devil 😂

[@MrPuusilima]

@@denisetaylor4567 I can believe that 😄 I have 5 OBT:s and all of them are quite laid back spiders, surely they are fast moving and reactive but not mean or angry at all.. They hide fast but when i need to do some maintenance they dont mind at all, just be nice and slow 🥰 They can be pretty curious too, its bit scary at first, calmness is the key. We have a curlyhair too, but she is just chilling in her cottage allways and do not enjoy visitors at all 😂 kicks hairs pretty easily 😄 I just LOVE OBT 😄 they are wonderful spiders 🥰

[@citam2023A]

“Stay calm, be gentle & love your spiders.” This is what I’m always keep it to myself when rehousing the OW tarantulas.

[@AdamMichalMarkowski]

"She'll be sitting on your shoulder like a parrot and you'll be sweating profusely" - I visualised that and had a good laugh 🤣

i could listen to you talk about spiders all day...... thanks for another video Dave!

[@charliemum]

She is stunning 😍 feel sorry for obt's they get such a bad rap because of some stupid ppl poking and upsetting them before they make their vids so they get a nasty reaction for the video and then get more views because the poor spider freaked out , such a shame because as you've just proven if given respect and treated right they aren't as bad as ppl make them out to be. Great video as always Dave, Camera Lady she's perfect 🥰

You really are amazing! Hope more take time to learn from you!

[@Bloopie666]

Beautiful video of the rehousing of the "monster" of spiders!😅 You are truly amazing!

[@zoologicalsociety]

Beautiful work, Dave! The OBT, despite (or perhaps due to) its reputation, often yields more successful rehouses for us. They tend to be more predictable than other Old Worlds, in my personal opinion. As always, your style and professionalism is an inspiration to watch. Keep up the excellent work! (p.s. fully agree with your terrestrial/arboreal hybrid setup 👍)

[@lauriefulk3812]

Good job Dave and Camera Lady on the rehouse for OBT. I always look forward to seeing a video from Dave's Little Beasties.

[@keithgilham9438]

Nothing other than awesome can describe her Dave, and I think I agree watching you compared to some others handle their spiders is like night and day.. poking them with grass or sticks to provoke them for a show etc, I’m glad it was your channel i found first or my interest now could possibly still been a compete fear of these awesome fascinating things 👍🏻 ps I still need some Beastie room merch lol

What an all-around stunning spider! Size, color, behavior all exceptional. Thanks for a very interesting video.

[@shelleoshelle7252]

Well done. Your technique and calm manner is wonderful. I hope this does turn out to be a female. She has wonderful genetics to pass on. Congratulations on this lovely new addition. Sending love and light from here.

[@ericgalas4965]

Very good video, as always! Anyway, the reason why they can climb glass it's not the claws. The claws can't do anything on the glass. Their legs have scopulae, very very thin hair having a lot of surface. This surface allows to adhere to the glass thanks to the Van der Waals forces at molecular level

[@DoctorPolski]

You said it was a big spider. Dave, It's a sodding monster!

[@Nitnyline]

Forced to agree. That is one BIG beautiful OBT.

[@AmandaLace-gi8dl]

She is such a beauty, and went into her new home really well, you are so good and calm, with your spiders, and it reflects on how they behave, I love your videos, ❤❤😊😊

Many thanks!

[@Thick_Cut_Bacon]

She’s a beast! Very cool Dave and CL 😊

[@derricklogan2058]

If people get worried about their Spider after a rehouse, what I used to do, is place a couple of crickets in the enclosure after a rehouse or cleaning of the aquarium and my Spiders used to calm down as they began to eat. Only once did I try to breed 1 of my females, after finding out that I had a male, but she ate him instead. But anyway, I never worried about my Spiders because of all of the years of dealing with them even when I was catching Spiders as a child!

[@candylovejoy9805]

Wow! Dave, your style is so refreshing to watch. So calm and easy going.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️❤️

[@amberd2841]

That video was so fun! I always learn so much from you. I have 2 OBTs and they are juveniles. I think they are super sweet. I’ve never gotten a threat pose and so far they don’t ever seem defensive. I have an LP that is much more… well… hungry than most of my Ts. It scares me a little. It learned that when I open up the enclosure that food is coming. I wish she would settle down.

[@paisleykitty7]

He/she is HUGE for an obt! Impressive

[@albarosewilliams7443]

OMG another OBT! I'm a happy happy girl. She is an absolutely beautiful big girl! Stunning! Thank you!!

Nice job. So glad for the girl coming to the Beastie room. Beautiful!

She is sure a very big and pretty spider.

[@MelPage359]

This is what I love to see. My OBT is such a good baby, never threatens me, and (disclaimer) I handle her once in a while. She’s seriously just curious and laid back because I’m not giving her a reason to feel threatened. SUPER great eater too. Just observe your spiders behaviour and mannerisms

[@qureshib61]

[@Colins_Critters72]

Great vid as always. I have three OBTs and have never had a threat pose from any of them. I currently have 28 tarantulas and had my 1st threat pose from any of them the other day from my Harpactira pulchripes sling, spider version of short man syndrome I think 😂 I love the markings on OBTs and have two rcf's and a bcf. Looking forward to getting the other colour forms soon.

[@harveymedlicott-revell7069]

Rehoused my obt just now. Gone with the extra humidity. And a very similar corkbark setup, time will tell. Thought it was gonna be a nice calm rehouse. Until i was grabbing a photo and she'd bolted up and out and across the carpet haha. 3rd OBT, my first crazy one lol

[@destroymysilence]

I just got one and she's nuts 😅

[@andrewhall6038]

A beautifully calm rehouse. Good for you, good for her. 👍

[@mom2my3angels313]

What a big, beautiful girl!! Love her!

[@johanneabelsen1644]

Dave is the master of diplomacy! When HE says:" They ARE quick to defend themselves", I say:" They are absolutely psycho."😂

[@waynerowley]

Dave, I will mention one issue I have had specifically with a Komodo mesh top. I set one up for a sub adult B boehmei. A couple of hours after homing it I found it upside down on the mesh lid in apparent distress. Looking close I saw that it had both fangs stuck in the mesh. Managed to free it by opening the lid enough to get a catch cup underneath and then applying pressure to the fangs using a plastic straw. They really were stuck too - took some pressure to free her. In hindsight the spider was too small for the enclosure, but thought I’d share this. Otherwise, great video. Had my birthday yesterday and my daughter bought me a 3cm OBT RCF. I laughed watching your vid as I had set the the enclosure for the sling in exactly the same way (much smaller scale of course). Added a few dried leaves for more hiding spaces too.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

They grow quick 😂👍

[@melaniezagata4402]

She is a beauty Dave! I love the OBT litteraly exquisite looking❤❤❤❤😊

I also have mesh tops Dave without issues. I believe the tops that have caused problems are the woven style which are able to nip/trap a spider's claw.

[@Mellie_H]

She's lovely! She's also the largest obt I've ever seen. Good thinkin' camera lady! I'd have gone back and purchased her too!

You really know your spiders and that's a fact. She is gigantic! Beautiful coloring. I love the alr blue in with the peach. I'm thinking they must get bounced around some in shipping. I guess there are special shipping instructions?

[@SpiritsEnchantments]

Thank you so much Dave! I have worried about mesh screens for years and also have been terrified my heavy-bodied terrestrial babies might fall and injure themselves. Sometimes we overthink and lose faith in our animals due to either outdated information or through posts that exaserbate situations. I have been told never to put anything in my tarantula enclosures that comes from outside. That's about to change. I also agree that with gentle care and respect, it's the best way to keep our spiders from dealing with unnecessary stress. Thank you again!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Awesome ❤️❤️❤️

[@xraphaelxx]

I found my big hamorii dangling from her stuck claw one morning. Luckily I managed to get her down without harm. Now I cut a square of perspex and replace the mesh.

[@tarottarantulas]

​@@xraphaelxx same. Found my A. Geniculata hanging from one toe as well. I cut a piece of acrylic to fit the lid but slightly smaller, drill holes, and attach it to the underside of the mesh with a few dabs of hot glue on the lid frame.

[@lucnadeau2821]

Beautiful spider as always. I'm not too surprised at how well the rehouse went, you truly have a gift with these. As far as spiders not losing their grip, my B. boehmei often climbs around and more often than not, if she's roaming on the lid, she'll lose her footing and fall down to the substrate. Her enclosure is 2/3 filled with sub, which is more than adequate to ensure she doesn't suffer any serious falls. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

[@Darren-jo4if]

Every single time, a master class demonstration from Dave's little beasties, and what a beauty she is, can't wait to see how she dresses her new digs, that gorgeous white cotton like webbing is one of my favorites. 👍😀👍
