That male’s exit was absolutely hilarious. He was very intent on not being a snack. 😂😂😂

[@wastelandsniper789]

For some reason your comment made me think of a quote from the MST3K episode "Werewolf": "So whatever they did in bed blew him out of his room and halfway across town." 😂

[@pattijareo7423]

What a fascinating courtship! This was a really fun one to watch! His athletic leap at the end made me break out laughing.😆😆. He wasn't taking any chances, handsome little guy!

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

The breadth of knowledge shared on this channel just leaves me in awe sometimes. This is an indispensable resource for fellow hobbyists.

[@numerian4516]

Not just hobbyists but those who'd like to have spiders but for reason(s) can't or just those who want to expand their knowledge. Hate to say it but they've spoiled me to any other channel. Some don't even last past 10sec's before I have to bug out. Your right, not only do they do alot of explaining and share their experiences but the banter they sometimes share or side comments about Ms Camera Lady brings you back as well, hilarious & endearing.

[@judycook4314]

Monday, 2:00 a.m. I can’t sleep until I see this through to the end! Two beautiful spiders.

[@JohnnysCafe_]

That was a most enjoyable episode, the details within the storyline and the excellent camera work are what make Dave's Little Beasties such an excellent show.

[@mcj5644]

Great video, Dave! I love how that brave little male pulled the ejection handle and literally leaped away from the female! Nicely done! 😁

[@kayelane5868]

That was quite entertaining! Beautiful spiders. Loved that flip out of the enclosure at the end. :) I laughed out loud! Both times! Dave, you are definitely the REAL Spiderman!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤❤❤

[@susannesamuelsson2930]

Such a beautiful spider those feathery legs looks amazing dear Dave and Sweet Camera Lady! Thank you both for yet a very interesting as well as informative video! Have a wonderful week! Greetings to you both and to your viewers too! ❤🕷

[@kirenjattan9885]

This is amazing 😮 dam if spiders had nuts. This fella has the biggest set. She's massive and so gentle with him letting him dictate how to have spider sexy time. They are both in great condition,so many people over feed their tarantulas. Which is not great for a spiders health. You're the spider goat for sure, Dave. I love how you explain everything in terms anyone can understand.

[@26hurban]

The way most of the females are so much larger, yet the males just get to it 😎 🎉

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏 ❤️

[@johanneabelsen1644]

GOAT= Greatest Of All Time. 😉

[@mikepetersen7319]

Nice calm pairing of two beautiful spiders. At the end He made an impressive stunt 👍

[@Tezz-4444]

That exit strategy🤣 strictly business and he understood the assignment lol

[@barbhelle5481]

That was a great video. He is a good acrobat. I was sure laughing when he jumped out. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

Lmao he yeeted himself over the edge. That was quite funny

[@johanneabelsen1644]

Totally. Especially because all his legs were out, so it looked hilarious. 😂

[@carlh296]

That was the best pairing video Ive seen. Finished off with the slow mo of his survival instincts going off the scale. That lad had balls of steel to deal with this big lady!

[@tagesvaterpatrick8780]

Those feathery legs look awesome! And the coloring of the female is "not from this world"! ❤ Fantastic footage... now lets wait for the egg sac pulling 😊

[@albarosewilliams7443]

Impressive video. Such beautiful spiders! I love those feathery legs. You sure do know how to start off a week. Thank you and Camera Lady for this great video. Hope you have a great week.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️❤️

[@playmygames]

When she came out! Wow! She dwarfed him lol. Such an amazing spider

[@stevenburgess2856]

What a great video! I think both parties were definitely 'up for it'! He looked like a bunch of pipe cleaners tied together !

[@johanneabelsen1644]

Sure does, but thise colors and patterns... Like a furry Pokie. 😊

[@tgk3624]

That was so fast,what a jump. Thank you for another amazing video. 👍

[@Ravenzpeak]

Wow, what a little Don Juan he is..... exceptional male! She's a beauty, too! I wonder why they call em baboons. They don't resemble real baboons, to me anyway. Ha

[@pepperlee2313]

Great video Dave. I always look forward in to watching your videos.😊

[@dizzyoracle]

Love your work! Your the only youtuber that I've found that handles spiders with care and compassion. I have never seen someone so knowledgeable, and gentle with spiders. Because of your channel Ive become a lot more calmer around spiders in general, and my fear has gone away (other than ones that hang down in front of me, and surprise me haha). I will usually pick up spiders, and will take them outside of my house. I will continue to support you for your future endeavors, and I've convinced a few of my friends to seek you out :) . Exemplary work Dave!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much really appreciate your support ❤️❤️❤️

[@Myriamele]

It's so floofy!!! :D They look like they'd be so soft, but there is no way I'd ever try to find out :D

[@moodyshrew]

That was one heck of a dismount! 10 out of 10!

[@biggtrux]

Great to see a successful pairing with the male getting away cleanly. We'll be looking forward to seeing what size egg sack she may drop in a couple of months.

[@Zay_562]

EXCELLENT DISMOUNT! 👏👏👏

[@Godgotmealways]

It's his eyes for me looks really frantic to get his message thru😂😂😂❤😅😊

[@sarahrupert5320]

Oh, WOW Dave! I’ve seen tons & tons of your pairing videos and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the male sprint off that fast!!

[@barkbark7783]

That was absolutely fascinating. That was for sure the best rehousing I've ever seen. The precision and how clever Dave's movements were was incredible. The hatched eggsack socked me. It was like a movie. Dave's truly one of the most professional and passionate people in the hobby.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏

[@Joe-rm8rs]

Bravo Dave fabulous video👏I am very partial to the feather leg, she is beautiful and he is a handsome little guy!! Keep us updated on her progress!!🕷

[@jenshelley4737]

WOW!!! Talking about a disappearing act!!!! That little man just vanished! So fast!! What an excellent pairing. Your Romeo did a fantastic job. I'm already looking forward to the eggsack pulling. I'm sure you'll get a lovley bunch of babies from those two! They're such beautiful spiders! Brilliant video!! Bravo!!!❤❤❤

[@belindalaing7592]

He was very confident and it definitely looks like he got the job done. Hopefully we will see a nice big sac full of eggs Great video as always 😊👍

[@daveslittlebeasties]

🙏thank you ❤

[@shelleoshelle7252]

Well done little guy! Thank you Dave and Camera Lady for an excellent video. Good luck with the outcome. Sending love and light from here.

[@jaygullion8013]

Spring is here and feather leg baboon LOOOVE IS IN THE AIR AT THE BEASTIE ROOM LOL GREAT SHOW MR. DAVE! AND MRS. CAMERA LADY IF YOUR THERE

[@Jeremiah_Johnson139]

Another win, win pairing! I'm glad he'll live on.

[@georgecardiff1946]

Absolutely fantastic Dave, they're a stunning species of spider 🕷, that pairing was successful by all accounts and hopefully will produce an egg sac in time especially with a second pairing, Another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

[@Godgotmealways]

Mr&Mrs beastie room your videos are breathe taken always cuz your spiders are different in some way becuase doesn't seem if they are really wanting to end there partners doing mating This why I loving to watch n learn there are two other channels I watch that I don't get this kind of calmness n joy 😊

[@hollishan]

Dave, you are the best narrator/commentator! I was surprised by the significant size difference between the two. But as you've said - the size difference doesn't really matter. Hopefully, you'll have a good egg sac soon. Great video (as always)!

[@MOONOVERMIAMI]

Hello great video information and pairing Dave

[@mcdazzio73]

Morning Dave & Camera lady wot an amazing pairing video hope ya both have an awesome day

[@lucnadeau2821]

Beautiful spiders, for sure ! Very interesting how the male literally leapt for freedom at the end. Crossing fingers for a good sac once again. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

[@utesommer8214]

i love how dedicated you're live your hobby. This of course includes the Camera Lady 😊

[@susangrewe262]

Hello! Lovely video. I am sure we will see lots of babies from this one. Now I know what you mean when you say that they teleport z 😂😂. Looking forward to the video on the London show. I’m off to bed. Take care of each other and stay safe.

[@susangrewe262]

🤣 I just watched this again and that male ran away at the end like Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. His legs were all over the place. Made me laugh. Thanks again!

[@melaniezagata4402]

That pairing was absolutely wonderful, hopeful for an eggsack! And a good one at that! They are gorgeous Tarantulas!

[@debrabolton9372]

What beautiful spiders! The legs are gorgeous. A tough little guy and one big girl. Quite a show! Great video, guys! ❤❤

[@mhomho1979]

17:57 He was like "see ya I'm out" 🤣

[@scottmcdonald7577]

what a beautiful male! Thanks for sharing.

[@johanneabelsen1644]

Quite a stunner. And he sure knows how to go home in a hurry. 😂

[@christophercunningham9303]

The way he got out of there. 🤣 Great vid Dave. 👍

[@spencergay8283]

Probably the best pairing video I've seen. Still the king of spider whisperers.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️❤️

[@XenoSixx]

That was the best exit I've seen!

[@dylanjones4348]

great pairing video dave,lovely looking spiders,have a great day🙂

[@joegrossman5073]

Oh yeah love being the 1st.

[@toupac3195]

Amazing how feather legs enhance camouflage.

[@johanneabelsen1644]

Absolutely amazing...

[@robertherberg9595]

The getaway was epic. So fast.

[@tandang310]

He parachuted out of the enclosure 😂😂😂

[@johanneabelsen1644]

Or bungee-jumped!😂

[@JeanetteSteinbergova]

Amazing video❤💯👍super jump😂😂😂

[@leeclarke6067]

That was awesome video, they are so cool looking spider, he flew backwards to get away 😀

[@buddgeiger7147]

The speed with which the male exits after the deed is truly something amazing. If you hadn’t slowed it down, we would have seen nothing but a big blur! Thank you for sharing this pairing with us, Dave. Many T’s are similar to others, but these guys are unique in their speed and the way they did the super fast drum dance before the pairing, then that lightning exit afterwards! 👍🕷️🔥👏💯❤️😇

[@michaeltaylor2449]

AWESOME video Dave STUNNING Ts one of my fave Arboreal species mind you just love my Baboons Good Luck in getting a BIG JUICY SAC

[@Rangnathebloodedge]

Long time viewer I love your re-housing videos

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Miss_Mellie_Girl]

Thank you for showing his back flip in slow motion! He moved so fast, I wasn't sure what had happened! Fingers crossed for a future egg sack removal!

[@DragonflyArtz1]

I think that it is really neat that they each have their own unique style of tapping and or drumming. And his legs really do look like feathers, Her colours are beautiful. Hope you get a big sack full of eggs with legs! Peace.

[@stum8551]

Always fascinating to see the behaviours of your tarantulas/spiders during breeding. Fantastic to also hear you explain and rationalise these behaviours to. Brilliant channel 👍

[@brooks5466]

Dave and Mrs Camera Lady 😁👋🏼☺️

[@V-skeptic]

I thought to myself "oh, Dave sure is an active guy. Yesterday he was in London at the capital invert show and early this a.m. he's pairing T's. I'm sure this is 2-3 days younger Dave we see here. Lovely to have seen you two at the expo. My kid loves his Beasty Cap. See you around!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Great to meet you my friend ❤️❤️❤️

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Phenomenal pairing

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@debbiemcclure2874]

Great pairing Dave!!!! Looked to be successful to me. Best wishes for lots of babies. Tyfs God bless you

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Very interesting. These are very beautiful! Thanks for introducing me to the world of lovely spiders!❤

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️❤️❤️👍

[@The-Spider-King]

He didn't hang around 😂 Another great video Dave 👌🏼

[@aarongeorge3296]

He said....TIME TO GO ✌️ ⚡😂

[@johanneabelsen1644]

It looks so sweet, when he uses all of his legs to keep her happy. 😀❤️ Gorgeous species. 🙆‍♂️ I wonder, what evolutionary gain those feathery hairs make...🤔? We can only guess.🤷‍♂️ Lovely couple. Great vid!

[@heleninglis9961]

their bushy legs remind me of myself during winter lmaoooo

[@daveslittlebeasties]

😂😂

[@johanneabelsen1644]

Did you know that Sigourney Weaver's mother's maiden name was Inglis? Such an elegant name...

[@Thick_Cut_Bacon]

That was cool! Thanks Dave and CL 😊

[@joannegalway1226]

Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕🕷️hope you’re both doing well and had a nice weekend. I’m really pleased to see a pairing video from The Beastie Room again. It’s been a wee while 🕷️🕷️ I do like the feather leg baboon, especially the little male, he certainly rocks the feathered look. And the autumnal colours are stunning on him. He’s quite a bit smaller than the female. I’m impressed with the speed he made his escape 😅 Also, the female didn’t hang around too long either, she was keen to get back to her home 😊 Great camera work throughout this whole video too. Fingers crossed that in a few months this pairing will bear fruit in the form of an egg sac. 🤞🤞 Take care both of you. Have a fantastic week 💙💕🕷️😘xxxx

[@candyscott489]

When he went down into that web I expected him to run out like a bat out of hell 😳 You can tell by your voice you had a long hard Fun weekend at the show !! 🎉

[@ThomasTheArachnerd]

Lol male yeeted himself like “mission accomplished” Hopefully female gets a healthy sac 👌🏽👌🏽

[@brandimyhren6317]

Male is impressive. I really like that little guy. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@miketheknife2]

That was awesome to watch, good luck with her sac !

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

Wow, how impressive. This is a superb channel, in every way

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much 😊

[@vukpik]

The moment she had put legs around him, he went off. He knew when to run😅

[@johanneabelsen1644]

He looked like he was a yo-yo!😂

[@michelleburich]

Great video of these two! I absolutely love S. calceatum! I have recently sent my mature male off to a breeding opportunity and am still growing up my juvenile female. I hope you get a nice egg sack from this pairing.

[@jojojackson7882]

Omg when he jumped out i just let out a lound wack that is impressive like really wow he's the mission impossible oprative plus he got the looks to boot.. i'm in my bath and my hubby asked me if everything was ok hi hi hi just watching spider pairing dear 😲😲

[@daveslittlebeasties]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@miketheknife2]

Wow, one quickie and he’s gone 😂

[@A.Steeeve]

Amazing footage 🤩 just like his "run for your life now" move 🤣

[@elizabethdurocher8308]

Was an amazing video. It always amazes me to see the size difference between the female and male. ❤️

[@FBAMaroon]

Awesome

[@justinellis8864]

Such a great video Dave. many thanks !

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Very welcome

[@gheffz]

I love the Little Beasties lair! Great show-case of spiders of every kind. Lovely spiders, these Leg Baboons. As per your advice, yes, focus on the aggressor... the female. They both seemed really happy to find each other. Speaking of the danger side, fancy a Sydney Funnel Web? I guess not. They definitely would not be classified as a beginner spider!!! I guess the potentially deadly ones are off the list for obvious reasons. I am not sure you'd even be able to get your hands on the dangerous ones (figuratively) to get them into the UK?

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I would love to work with them but we cant here in the uk

[@johanneabelsen1644]

They are also forbidden by law here in Denmark. Those are NOT for my set of nerves.😮 I like docile critters, like Avics and Brachys and things like that. 😊

[@brianduffy7981]

great video Dave!!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏

[@johnsrabe]

Thanks for some great insomnia viewing last night. That guy was FAST. And it was helpful to have watched your archive video about sexing the molts - I could identify her opening, whatever you call it, in this video because you showed it so clearly in the old video.

[@Ronin7781]

Those Spiders are beautiful I hope this goes well for you

[@graciecrystalsresinlady]

That has to be THE most legendary exit I’ve ever seen!! 😂😂😂

[@jerrybarr3354]

Well done little man, she was a giant 👏

Dave, at time 23:08 you said "Doo Doo" hahaha. Excellent video, brilliant breed.

[@tarantularamblings3149]

Wish you had shown more of the moving the male in and out of his enclosure . But it was a great video they are so beautiful .👍

[@janicehonea7613]

The female was huge, the red was Beautiful the male was so small but beautiful feathery legs, enjoy that P very much tu
