You guys need to have a programme on animal planet

[@Basin79]

I've no idea why you've got so few subs. It makes absolutely no sense to me. I have more and my videos are pathetic compared to yours. You should have hundreds of thousands if not more. Keep up the fantastic work it's very much appreciated.

[@darthboxOriginal]

Basin79 we just need to spread the word!

[@Basin79]

darthboxOriginal indeed.

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Agreed!

[@justinellis8864]

i couldn't agree more Basin79!

[@ericweis4114]

I would like to see more of your personal collection. Great job keep it up

[@KFInvertebrates]

This was awesome so many tarantula vlogs out there but yours deserves a lot more subs then it has.

[@kyempelotenia7606]

Always love this channel. Thank you for the wonderful vicarious experience. More power!

[@victormcarrasco4821]

Always neat to see your videos Guy, great inspiration for new ideas for proper enclosures.

[@glennsolva1567]

Great to finally see how the west african forest looks like. Fascinating t's H. maculata is my favourite of the two. Great video as always. Keep up the great work guys. Thanx for sharing this amazing video. ❤😊🕷

[@Vanessa_Simone_In_Toronto]

Fabulous video, what awesome finds! I loved the family shots. Brilliant work... just brilliant.

[@Spiderdan-59]

I keep tarantula in my living room with me watching TV 😂💯🕷

[@ExoticFauna]

Well done mate. I like the style of this production and its simply informative narrative. This is the trip I will always regret not joining y'all for.

[@Basin79]

I have an adult female H.mac. Fantastic to see them in the wild. Absolutely stunning tarantulas.

[@TheNecromancer6666]

Basin79 Annoyingly fast and bolty though. Rehousing them is a pain. But not really agressive. They run. I never get threat postures.

[@TheNecromancer6666]

@Blood Eagle 88 There is a difference in behavior between spiders who are scittish and will easily bolt and spiders who will actively seek out disturbences. P. Murinus, p. muticus, p. Regalis, h . Minnax. All of them will not run away from, but towards disturbences. I love all of them to bits for their character and beauty, but they are not like scittish or defensive they are agressive. If i change my OBTs water dish she will come out of her webcastle and attack the tongs. My p. Regalis will not attack as easily, but she will come out and investigate whats going on. Compare that to some really defensive old worlds. They will run. And only bite or threat posture if startled.

[@TheHappyTarantulaKeeper]

This was absolutely fascinating to watch! Both Species I will have eventually. Beautiful tarantulas

[@StefanoMonteforte]

Beautiful!

[@comelordjesus4078]

Wanted to come back and say the song is marché by welan edvee for anyone who's wondering.

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

What a job to go look for these beautiful spiders ina there home area ,awesome great job iam jealous

[@Viridoviperas]

Great video, as always! Thanks :-)

[@whiterosetarantulas3150]

Awesome video, great to see these beauty's in their natural habitat, plus I'll agree with basin79, why you haven't 100k subs is beyond me!

[@raygay3375]

I really hoped you guys were going to come across an adult male stromatopelma calceatum; I love their feather legs.

[@rfraser5094]

Excellent video 👍

[@Spiderdan-59]

Subscribed from London uk 🇬🇧🕷🕸

[@comelordjesus4078]

Love this music sigh

[@smithibrachypelma7662]

Awesome!

[@Raaaaay.]

H.mac its like dodge charger with matte white and black stripe! Even she's bite me twice. I really like and loved H.maculata

[@elonpleasebuyyt7863]

nice spider.

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Very cool vid! Never lose an H Mac in your bedroom😉

[@arkarachnids3191]

Let me tell you there lmao mines somewhere in my room

[@arkarachnids3191]

Update: found mine and is secured again

[@jasonpatrickdeleon4701]

wow! :) hope next Finding P.met in their natural Habitat :)

[@jonc.5310]

I think most people keep these much drier in captivity than their natural habitat is. Testament to the resilience of both species.

[@TheTarantulaCave]

Wild H. macs! Jammy jammy people.

[@screamingreel8542]

Aren't you afraid of contracting malaria on your excursions? Great job, Good job men! 👊😎🤙))

[@Zagoreni02A]

Interesting, those juveniles like to pose to camera, while older ones have "piss off" temper.

[@jackjohnson8217]

this music sound like something from spyro the dragon for playstation

[@jasonpatrickdeleon4701]

Finding G.pulchra next please :)

[@Guillaume33340]

In Ghana, it will be difficult! ;)

[@jasonpatrickdeleon4754]

Hehe i know pulchra is endemic in brazil

[@bighashgang1990]

I have two adult female Calceatum one is normal colorway and one is very white like a Maculata but she is indeed a calceatum not an H mac lol it's weird

[@comelordjesus4078]

Hi there is the song really African skies by Brent bourgeois? I can't find the song :(

[@user-lz7kg7yt2k]

The music is very cool) Tell me the author?

[@mrdee734]

Hi, Guy, did you search for P Murinus?

[@Lopezpachanga]

Amazing music. ¿Where are?

[@comelordjesus4078]

david lopez thats what ive been trying to find or something similar

[@donaldtrump233]

Here 1 kilo bread. Donated from the Streets 😂

[@Royal-Rover]

How to distinguish between the two besides coloration?

[@bugsnstuff]

The underside of the palpal femurs on S. calceatum are dark and they're pale in H. maculata as shown in the video.
