The ULTIMATE Guide: Caring for Dolichothele diamantinensis - Brazilian Blue Dwarf Beauty Tarantula

[@tarantulacollective]

So which do you like more...the Brazilian Blue Dwarf Beauty or the Green Bottle Blue??? Because I am kinda torn at the moment! Want some Tarantula Collective Merch? CHECK OUT: www.thetarantulacollective.com/shop

[@IrieRogue]

Likewise, they are both so incredible

[@arachnoboss8236]

That BBDB for sure.

[@PETROCK-NROLL]

I couldn’t choose between the two, they are both incredible species

[@Ryan_62629X]

Probably Brazilian blue dwarf beauty

[@ragnarlothbrok490]

Sir! I'm just curious, why there is a slow grower and fast grower tarantula? Looking forward 👌

[@TarantulaHaven]

That's a tough call. They're both great tarantulas in their own right. I love the size of the GBB but the colors of the D. diamantinensis are much more beautiful in my opinion. I can't decide which is why I have both. Great video.

[@tarantulacollective]

The struggle is real...luckily we dont have to choose!

[@veledwin1]

I really don't understand why people like the large ones for their size, I'm not a size queen. Brazilian Blue Dwarf Beauty for sure! All my Ts are dwarf species though so I'm biased 😅

[@angelad3170]

I have 4 dwarf species and I am really liking how bold they tend to be.

[@Nix_IoI]

I want my 1st T to be a dwarf then ill move to larger spiders like skeleton spider.

[@JEREMIAHS_TARANTULAS]

I think this tarantula is the perfect size and not small like the c Elegans and other smaller dwarf species. Weather dwarf or not this is a must have for me just for its beauty alone.

[@germicanlifestyle9069]

Exactly...I'm all about 4"& under

[@kevinrox666]

I picked mine up today. I've been looking to get one for a long time so I'm really excited.

[@isacco8908]

I will go to the fairs after the ones in February, and I'll take this species of dwarf mygale that has its charm, I'll take it immediately from a 2 cm female if it's possible and obviously I'll take a container to put the Dolicothele diamantenensis sling in, obviously I'll take 2 containers for feed the mygale, and maybe maybe I'll take a 1.5 cm sling, or a davus pentaloris

[@natalya402]

Just ordered a half inch sling. My most expensive one yet, but those fabulous colors are worth it!

[@Huntington30]

Just recently got this sling and a GBB sling. Love them both!!!

[@carlwighton4789]

Hopefully my other spoods don't read this but my gbb and blue dwarf beauty are probably my favourite 😂

[@nobodies6997]

Where did you get the sling? I havent seen any for sale online.

[@ethangarard4746]

Where did you get yours from? I’ve been looking to order some

[@Huntington30]

Got them both from Tangle in Webs. Awesome vendor.

[@carlwighton4789]

I got the blue dwarf beauty from the spidershop but UK and the gbb was from swallow aquatics in Norfolk UK

[@mrpuggerson]

My first T was a GBB that just hit maturity (female, yay!) and when I learned about the BBDB I instantly fell in love and wanted it to be my first dwarf species. Well, I ended up with 2 slings this weekend and couldn’t be happier! Learned how skittish they really are and people and joking, they are FAST 💨 Successfully rehoused though :D

[@treyjennings0915]

I kind of want one... I have arachnophobia but after a couple years of watching tarantula videos, and handling jumping spiders when I find them, I'm slowly getting over it and think I finally want to own one. I've always said if I get a tarantula it would have to be a dwarf species. These guys look amazing. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@rkhnd51]

That's funny. I started with Jumpers, then a dwarf, then a curly hair. I'm working my way up. Lol!

[@DuchessMyPony]

Absolutely love this species. I love how they hardly seem to fade before moult, but then when they do moult, that pop of colour is just mind blowing. Awesome footage of yours!

[@culturalwheat6682]

LOL

[@rkhnd51]

I'm so excited! Just ordered one of these from Pinchers and Pokies. Thanks for the husbandry info.

[@tarantulacollective]

Hope you enjoy it!

First!!!! I'm picking up my salmon pink birdeater and Brazilian black from Fear Not later today, I can't sleep I'm so excited!

I just got one from FNT a week ago . Tiniest sling I've ever had . Had to house it in the vial it came in . Disappeared into the substrate and I haven't seen it since . Hope you have good luck with yours !

I just love the use of the yoga skeleton figures from micheals! I have both of them as well and love them, hopefully I can get more this year.

absolute the best Channel for this topic. thanks alot for your work :)

[@heathbates2220]

Mine amazed me...it came at inbetween 1/2 and 3/4 inch. It was solid deep deep navy blue. It was also missing 1 leg. It molted into its adult coloration a jumped to 1 inch sling with its leg fully grown unnoticeable that it was missing one beforw(sometimes they're a little shorter). It is so beautiful...always on display and a great eater.

[@irisravenhild9060]

ok, it's settled, Brazilian Blue Dwarf Beauty is by far my favorite. A tarantella with my two favorite colors on it. I love how clear those colors are and look, almost nothing ginger on it compared to the Green Bottle Blue. Although GBB is so far my second favorite

[@nikolavebrova4536]

is very nice kind and I´m happy that I will buy this kind 3slings next month :) I love dwarf Ts :)

[@tarantulacollective]

Interesting!

[@kidsshanghains3398]

I love the big ones I have 3 stirmis including 2 large females and I was getting all the big ones but something changed now I have pumpkin patch, C. elegans, dwarf baboon and I’m getting one of these too

[@tinastarantulas]

I got my Dolichothele Diamantinensis as a 1.5cm sling this was my first T. I done my research on it and was prepared for a fast sling but I never expected how fast It was. I don't regret my decision on get this species as my first but I wouldn't recommend it. I now own Brachypelma Hamorii and a Tliltocatl Albopilosum. Next on my list is the Grammostola Pulchra. Its funny as I was an arachnophobe months of watch T feeding videos and I'm cured :) although still not a fan of the giant house spider.

[@rh7riky]

Please make the next species Pseudhapalopus Sp Blue! I’ve found almost no videos on KZbin and very mixed information on them!

[@tarantulacollective]

I plan on covering that species in the future...mine is still kinda small and in want it to molt at least once more before committing hours of time filming it

[@danilounsbury18]

I am getting a 1/2” sling of this species this week and I am pumped. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@iancarlgwapo3643]

Wow 😍 Nc video 😅

[@tarantulacollective]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Loucifur]

This species was my third tarantula when I started the hobby, and it does not disappoint! Mine escaped even, (I did not notice a hole that was too large) but I found it inside the exoterra airhole next to the enclosure it escaped from. Lucky as hell! This species proves that size do not matter! Pun intended. Mine does a lot of threat postures, with teeth out and venom dripping, so I leave it alone as much as possible :) yet again you deliver a great video! Tuesdays are beginning to become my favorite day of the week 😂 thanks a lot!

[@Hopexi]

I just ordered one of this. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience with this T. Now I want more of them. And I know, we all say we won't get more tarantulas haha

[@nicoledonohoe2808]

Mine I got from Net Bug Christmas of 18 and she just molted I have video from her being a 1/4 inch sling taking down pray and never disappoints unless she is going to molt very soon they are super fast and so amazingly gorgeous wish I could show you mine ! I will post it on your FB page thanks for doing tarantula Tuesday on such an amazing T🕷💙

[@bouncdataz]

Never got a notification for the vid so I was a little late but thanks for the info man 😎

[@DarkdragonKev]

I am seriously considering getting started in the tarantula hobby and starting with this species so I can get used to their size before going to a non dwarf species. But the fact that they are bolters makes me worry. At first I wanted to get a T. Seladonia to start with, but they are impossible to find 😅

[@Amos4946]

My D diamantinensis sling like it mostly dry but it has nice humidity, i keep spraying once a week on the web so it can drink :) and getting a bit wet , also nice informative video :) .

I have a D. Diamantinensis sling just over half an inch in size and it’s like lightening on its food! I keep it’s enclosure right next to my GBB sling enclosure and seeing the two next to each other is incredible! I can’t choose a favourite between the two though, that’s far too difficult to ask of me Richard! 😂

[@culturalwheat6682]

LOL

[@nicolestarantulas3142]

Would love to get this species and a GBB, both stunning

[@rkhnd51]

That intro. Lol! Well, as a beginner I have a T. Albopilosum and a one inch H. Chilensis that I've had for two and a half years. These are slow moving species but I love this little Brazilian Blue Beauty and since I'm aware and take precautions I believe I'm ready to upgrade. The colors, webbing and no hair kicking, you can't ask for more. I like the dwarf size also. Maybe when my Chilensis and Diamantinensis grow up I can put them together to be friends. Just kidding. Thank you for this video!

[@TheDarthStewie]

I still like the gbb more because the abdomen has more orange on it. But, they are both beautiful.

What a beautiful diamond! I only have a GBB, so I cannot really judge about which of both is better. But I feel the diamantinensis is more beautiful, but the GBB may be "better" because it is a little less skittish and visible more often. But the size, in general, is not really crucial for me.

I would still prefer the GBB. For me as an absolut beginner it's hard to deal with super fast boltys. In my personal opinion the GBB combines nearly everything what's interesting for an beginner and keepers in general. But I definitely got this little beauty on my wishlist when I'm more experienced and relaxed enough to deal with faster ones.
