[@angielovesowls]

What a beautiful lady she is but definitely flighty like you said Dave. I’m looking forward to see her grow up

[@jybrokenhearted]

Wasn't flighty at all, pretty much chill and laid back

[@AfroRyan]

Putting all politics aside, I am extremely happy that you share your insider husbandry tarantula secrets for us peons. I appreciate your willingness to both share your unique insights and your willingness to show us your modern methods to breed these magnificent creatures. Keep up the good work, but take a break whenever you feel the need! Love ya, Dave.

[@wybuchowyukomendant]

Oh, she's fast =o My blondi is like a tank, just walking around majestically, can't be bothered by anything.

[@shawnariley3518]

She seemed like a sweetie I bet those fangs would give a nice bite haha See y’all on the next one! Loved it as always…

[@Ujuani68]

Such impressive weapons, they have... the hairs and those big, black fangs. Awesome animals. 😎👍✨️

[@DragonflyArtz1]

You can't have too many of these, or you will need another Beasty Room! That was really neat. The Brazilian Jewel is more my size! LOL

[@stum8551]

Fantastic to see the Apophysis. Looking forward to seeing her journey

[@SergeiMosin]

Dare I say, this genus has a... hair trigger? I will not apologize for that pun. Any rate, I've found my Apophysis actually uses the moss to landscape her den. She's entirely ignored the cork bark and instead created a sort of dome made of moss and webbing that she hides under. Stirmi, on the other hand, has a large cork log that she hasn't even webbed in. She just sits inside like a grumpy old man waiting for crickets to step on her lawn. They are a wonderful genus for those willing to take the time to get the environment right.

[@moespaws16]

I just got a young T. Apophysis yesterday and I’m already in love with the little booger

[@lauriebradley8295]

She is lovely. Thank You David and Camera Lady. Such a wonderful teaching for us. Take care and thanks for your passion❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lucnadeau2821]

Don't see these as often as the other two, they really have a very different coloration to them. And I'm pleased to see that it reacted with a food response rather than kicking hairs all over her enclosure. That plastic bin, while not ideal for viewing, will provide the climate it needs. Looking forward to seeing these reach their adult sizes. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

[@Alecsweet3057]

@ 21:00 when she turn around and nibbled on the paintbrush I thought that was really cool like you said it wasn't aggressive technique it was just her responding like food.. so awesome!!! But I noticed when Camera lady zoomed in that it looked like the spider really only has one eye!??? But other than that Dave this is why I love your show, you educate everyone on how to take care and love your insect or spider centipede whatever the situation is to treat them with respect and love and you'll get it back awesome awesome show thank you buddy... Love your spider 👍 AND THIS IS WHY YOU'RE THE BEST!!!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you my friend ❤️👍

[@James-bristol]

Great work the pair of you,lovely video full of info and good footage.

[@petegriffin8149]

She's a bonafide beastie that there spider is...hehehee, I'd love to be a beastie in your room Dave, and be so fortunate as to have your camera Lady taking my photos, always with the best lighting and from my best side.!!.👍😃👍

[@mariarnliasi2513]

You are amazing love the way you treat your spider 🕷 ❤ 💕

[@susanelizabeth790]

Awwww she's gorgeous 💜💜💜 thank you another fascinating and educational video Mr and Mrs Dave 🙏🤍🤍🤍

[@Ujuani68]

When I was younger, I thought, that ALL tarantulas were the size of this one, or bigger.🤣🤦‍♂️🤪

[@cyevans6325]

My best spider for feeding brilliant to watch

[@Mufc2020x]

Just ordered a sling after watching this. Always wanted to add one to my collection.

[@darrenwoolley8736]

Bucket load of tips and insights as is typical of Dave's little Beasties.. Great spider too!! I'll stay calm, remain gentle, but I'm gonna just love your spiders for now!! 👍😃👍

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@UntoteLady]

Love seeing Theraphosa species! I recently finally got one myself, it's a T. stirmi sling that moulted already and needs a rehouse lol. With the blondi and the apophysis that my boyfriend has, we now have all the Theraphosa species, yay 😄❤

[@Ujuani68]

When that spider is grown up, you will have a noble steed to ride to work on. 😜

[@UntoteLady]

@@Ujuani68 yes 😂 Can't wait for that 😁

[@debrabolton9372]

Great video, Dave! Beautiful spider.

[@arachnophobe2arachnoholic]

Gorgeous spider Dave it's lovely to see spiders I don't have in my collection thank you xxx

[@joannegalway1226]

Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕hope you’re both doing well today. I love to see the giant bird eaters spiders 🕷 Like the Blondes and pink foot tarantulas. I know bigger isn’t always better 😉 But I seem to have a soft spot for them. I’d run a mile if someone were to sneak up on me with one 😂 😂 But I mentioned to Jaden last night in a comment, that there’s been a rather large house spider in my shower room this past two weeks and I’m proud to say that I haven’t asked my partner to remove it 🤦‍♀️ 😂 All because of You, Bethany and Jaden, I’ve got respect for them now 💙💕💚 That was another fantastic video, thanks for sharing. Take care, and can’t wait to see your next one 😘xxx

[@susannesamuelsson2930]

Such a big beautiful tarantula and lightning fast too when she wants to be! Interesting video dear Dave and Sweet Camera Lady! Many spiders and tarantulas are very fast runners so you should not be fooled by there size or sometimes or most normal docile behavior. They are much faster than you think...but not in a negative sort of way but if you handle them you need to be very aware of it! Have a wonderful week, take care you both! Hugs from Susanne 👩‍🦳 and Trollet 🐱 🐾 ❤.

[@SneezingEagle]

Awsome video as always! She's a beautiful Tarantula 🖤

[@zulemazahir666]

I love that you talked about the moisture/dampness in the substrate, I think far too many people go overboard. I know I certainly struggled with it the beginning years, I was too anxious especially with slings. 😅 Anyway point is, excellent video and information. Thanks Dave, love getting these before bed time. Ends my days on a positive note.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏

[@courtneylescallett6281]

Another great video from the spider whisper. Thanks again for everything you teach us newbies. I have learned so much from you Dave and you'll never know much my spiders and I appreciate it. Thanks again Dave and Camara Lady for the absolute best videos. Love the channel ❤️.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much appreciate your support ❤️👍

[@angela_tarantulas]

Beautiful spider! I just got the Stirmi, but I love the giants 🥰 very good rehouse and and explanations 👍🏼 thank you!

[@Leepbby]

She is such a beautiful species. I have the chance to get a juvenile but I hesitate because of their size even though I absolutely adore them...

[@mcdazzio73]

hope ya keeping well Dave she's amazing

[@amysweb4815]

They are a gorgeous colour😊

[@ebs1860]

Very interesting!

[@susangrewe262]

Hello Dave and Camera Lady. I was anxiously awaiting the Sunday video and once again was not disappointed. That lovely spider has more personality than some dogs I know! It was funny when she was gnawing on your paint brush. I really love the deeper color of this one compared to the Blonde and the Stermi. She is rich looking and has such cute pink feet. What is not to love about that? I am wondering how long these lovely girls live and when will you be adding the males with an eye to breeding? I really enjoy anything you do with the big ones. Okay, another bang up job to start the week! Now I can sleep happy. I hope y’all have a great week. Take care and stay safe. Thanks for all you do.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I have a young male growing on and the females are long lived some reports of 16 + years

[@susangrewe262]

That is exciting. I can’t wait for their pairing. Have a good night. ❤️😴

[@jacobdiscipleofjesusforeve419]

Great stuff as usual 👏

[@Chris_Toop_Tarantulas]

She is stunning and I have learnt so much from your videos Dave from staying patient and staying calm to gathering natural stuff from the great outdoors to build a more natural habitat and I’ve had a large female Lasiodora parahybana for 2 weeks and she moulted 4 days ago she’s absolutely stunning and that was thanks to watching your channel 👍

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thats awesome my friend thank you 🙏

[@susiepattinson3031]

Terrific vid again. 👌 greetings from Sydney 💜😄

[@dannyferry4562]

She's a big girl 😲😲 enjoyed your video once again 👌🏻👌🏻

[@SpooderSociety]

Maybe nearing an update with this project? Oh my goodness, what a beautiful specimen! Cheers Dave!

[@user-oo2dh8wd3x]

Dave followed most of your technique when rehoming my Lasidora Parabyhana, it’s amazing how easy it is to!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️👍

[@GarageSupra]

That's some good footage of when she has a bite on the paintbrush 👍

[@daveslittlebeasties]

She was just testing it 😂👍

[@voodooreptiles3553]

I just did a rehouse on a large juvenile 1 1/2" -2" it turned out great. I'm pretty new with 4 T's, but I stay calm (from your teachings) and cool like with my python.

[@calliew311]

His rehousing advice is so good. The best piece of advice I've gotten is to keep contact with the spiders leg or whatever you are touching so it doesn't freak out. Also, being calm does help, a lot. Good luck with your Ts. I started with 1, then 3, then 8, (then lost a sling after a molt), then just got 3 more, so I'm at 10 and am stopping for a while. I would've stopped at 8, but my loss really bothered me. I went to Reddit and their discord and they said what I did was right and my enclosures were fine, so, I think it was a molt prob since it passed 36 hours after a molt. Anyway, good luck and have fun!

[@barbhelle5481]

She is a cool spider. Thank you both.

[@sandywalter9728]

Hello Dave! Huge girl... very stunning!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@pedritos99]

Hats off to Master Dave! Thanks a lot for your videos 🙏🙏❤

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mikewithrow2271]

A year ago,if you had caught me in the cookware or container isle at the store,most likely I had broken something for cooking or whatever. Now, it's like I'm automatically drawn to those isles looking for nice containers for spiders in their growing process. Having a heavy background in tool and die making for 3/4 of my life.iam with you with the vent holes being in line and everything symmetrical. I like my spiders enclosures to look nice all the way around. I love them so insides stay clean as possible and I really take my time to provide them with a nice a looking home as I can. And along with advice from you they thrive and get on quite well. Anything that goes or has went wrong was all because of my inexperience with a few of them,but not lost one yet,not even some of our most tiny slings.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Keep doing what your doing my friend sounds like your nailing it ❤️👍

[@serendipity9649]

My husband is a Master Cabinetmaker. What he does to control how far he drills down into wood is place a piece of tape on the drill bit itself.....making all depths the same. (for those afraid of making the holes to big) Another excellent video.

[@Hayley0412]

Another informative video, great set up and a beautiful spider, well done all of your knowledge is in my filing cabinet in my faulty brain! You sir are on a different level a great level, much love to camera lady and you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️

[@UncleBurntApostrophe]

Cool spider, heard more about than saw, 2bh, so cheers for the video!👍

[@michaelcelis538]

Thank you Dave!!🙂

[@graemesingleton-hayden2326]

Interesting once again. Funny I don’t like them but look forward to seeing your videos , in fact I eagerly look each morning 😂Still like being behind my iPad ( I tilted it as she started her hair business 😂 as if! 😂😂.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

😂😂😂👍

[@graemewright2046]

great video with the information and the demo for the enclosure PROFF. some people are not able to do diy ,so to see this is a great tip for them in drilling holes. very well made with simplicity PROFF, great camera work CAMERA LADY, many thanks guys ,take care

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you we like to keep it simple so anyone can do it 👍

[@tanakeilidh384]

So, so beautiful!

[@candylovejoy9805]

Every time I watch your videos, it is such a pleasure to see how gentle you are with all of your spiders.

[@HFA9788]

Very informative video. Job well done!!

Another beautiful spider Dave, this is the best channel I've seen for amazing creatures. Cheers bud!🍻

[@bonniehawkins2979]

Well done.

[@rich-pt9jt]

Great video and great timing. Put my sling in a faunarium a they’re ready for a re-house very soon.

[@michaeltaylor2449]

AWESOME video Dave and what a STUNNING T shes a BEAUTY

[@tkuhel12]

Always so happy to get a notification from you! And always love seeing the big spiders! I still don’t have any spiders as pets, but am fascinated! I think I will start with a little jumping spider! 😜

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thats awesome ❤️👍

[@justinellis8864]

Thanks Dave, as always I learned something new. I still haven't been brave enough to get one of these yet! Though after watching your video, I just might! fabulous footage my friend.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much ❤️👍

[@deniseshephard3347]

I have to say Dave I’m throughly impressed with everything you have achieved with all your beautiful spiders but also the other critters that you own your passion and pride it’s clear to see and you enthusiasm for getting different spiders which were your dream I will always watch your videos because of the array of animals you own keep doing what your doing because your education so many

[@daveslittlebeasties]

So nice of you❤️

[@deewhitcha6014]

Great video Dave!

[@hopesauce]

i love your videos and your channel! They've helped me learn so much and be able to appreciate spiders more! I'm getting a sling very soon :)

[@V-skeptic]

Good camera work. Difficult angle. Lovely arachno-tank right there. :D

[@michaelhill7927]

Loving your channel,sir. Just found you and Bethanys channels not long ago, and Petrocks also...grreat contenet by three great keepers! Best regards from the U.S.!

[@kakarikiIck]

I like these build videos Dave! Thanks. Also the spider is beautiful and well behaved.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@grantkuseff4971]

Another great clip.I like the footage of her fanging on the paint brush. No feeding issues there! Not like my Chaco, that eats about once every 4 mths. Cheers 🙂

[@mariestubbs4606]

Another gorgeous T, great vid Dave n well done Camera Lady ...

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you kindly

[@justinellis8864]

Absolutely fascinating Dave (as usual). loved hearing about how to keep the substrate dry but the environment humid. The lower temperature surprised me, but I've never been brave enough to take on a humid dependent species since my Orange Tree spider sling died as i got it wrong.. i might re-think Theraphosa's thanks to this particular video! I've watched quite a few so it's come as quite a shock that I'm re-considering after this particular one. well done Dave!!

[@LadyCJ]

Beautiful spider and on my wish list! 😁 I agree with you on Spa Spiders, I've bought from them a few times and never had any issues 👍 Looking forward to future videos on these and watch them grow 🖤🕷️

[@beefsteak8540]

Hello dave I've just got one yesterday I'm well excited lol I've always wanted one.. I've never seen this before, but it moulted in transit. I opened the lid and I was greated with a ball of legs ,which I thought the worst . I opened up the vile and pulled the tissue away and there was a moult and a fresh spider lol. The spider is in its new home and seems to be happy so im hoping for the best 👌 Keep those videos come dave

[@BuffyLynn]

I think I’ll let you keep all those types Dave. None for me thanks! ☺️I quite like the smaller variety…especially the Brazilian Jewel’s due to their beauty but also I love that clever trap door. Hope we see yours again soon.😘👍🏻

[@calliew311]

Me too! I love the look of that tiny T. They are incredibly fragile and die all the time, as slings. I'm too afraid to get one because the slings are like 200 bucks and I am afraid it won't make it. I have an Idiothele mira, and it has a trap door and blue feet. It's a small T, that pops up out of the trapdoor in the ground, and grabs prey and sinks right back into the trap door. It's so cool! Her name is Arya, and I love her so much, I think the common name is Blue Footed Baboon.

[@nadine4062]

Thanks For The Lovely Video Footage Dave I Am Getting One Off These Soon And Your Information Has Really Helped Me To Know How To Look After It Your Spider 🕷️ Is Just A Gorgeous Girl I Loved The Way She Had A Good Nibble On That Brush Bless Her Fangs Looked Massive I Hope She Is Happy In Her New Enclosure Lots Off Love Baby Girl 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕸️🕸️🕸️ PS Dave You Are Such A Lovely Guy God Bless You 🙏 🙏 Thank You So Much 💕 I Loved The End Bit Keep Calm And Love Your Spider 🕷️ Beautiful Words

[@pattijareo7423]

Impressive T, impressive handling, as always! Your videos are always so interesting! Thank you both!! 😘

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@xaverklaus5176]

The big problem in this country is that most pet stores often only sell unsexed tarantulas for convenience or to hedge their bets. So far I was lucky and got only females

[@Ujuani68]

Link up with some T breeders online. Then they will send you a beautiful, captive-bred specimen.🙂👍✨️

[@nataliepowell4806]

Wow! Just wow! One I’ll leave to you Dave 😂 beautiful but HUGE! 😳

[@BogachanTurk]

What a lucky housemate, everything comes to her feet :D I also have an L4 CC roommate. He himself lost his leg, and with each molt, his leg grows and grows stronger. Mr. Dave, thank you so much for your hard work. It's a nice video.

[@Paramite84]

Really interesting video. I had no idea you shouldn't moisten the substrate.

[@LunarShimmer]

What a lovely lady! Very unique colors, I really like brown and pink together. :)

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you so much!

[@franciscahazlet4021]

As always we'll done and very informative. I like how the spiders seem to work out that it is you working with them and they calm right down. Love the videos.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks 👍

[@Dedlyniteshade]

Shes beautiful:)

[@marjorieinverts]

Oh how LOVELY! You always make everything look so easy, it’s wonderful. I think that helps some of us in our confidence with our own spiders. Thanks y’all, as always, for such great information and wonderful video 🤍

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@danth6684]

I'm dying for a T apophysis sling! can't wait til you breed them

[@Antramblings]

Amazing video dave its really turned me on to these monsters , got my first one ordered today from spa spiders . Had it in my fantasy shopping list for ages . Looking forward to the fast growth experiance .

[@daveslittlebeasties]

That is awesome! and sparspiders are a great company to deal with you will have a perfect spider from them ❤️👍

[@georgecardiff1946]

Ah brilliant Dave, really enjoyed that, the pinkfoot goliath is a beautiful species of spider 🕷. The set up is simple Dave, but most definitely fit for purpose, I would love to add one to my collection, anyway Dave another fantastic job by yourself and camera 📷 lady.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

They are rewarding spiders to keep 👍

[@amysweb4815]

Im rewatching this just to make sure I give the correct care for my new one I’m picking up from taunton show

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@carydavenport1869]

I have a sling thats about 2" DLS. It is lightning fast. But luckily it retreats to its den when I open the lid. Its never kicked hair's at me. But I try not to give it a reason to be upset. I love my pink foot 😍

[@daveslittlebeasties]

❤️❤️👍

[@soultaff]

Awesome vlog as always Dave . Your attention to every detail is brilliant! Such a shame the boss won’t allow me to have a dabble . As I’ve asked you not too long ago about keeping the ‘ Goliath Bird eating Spider 🕷’ she won’t have a bar of it 😥😥😥 . Great work Dave , keep it up 👍.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Maybe one day!

[@johannoren2787]

Fantastic video Dave!

[@helenat7794]

Seeing how she's using those fangs independently of one another was so cool! The theraposas are a bit much for me, but then again, I recently got a Mexican redleg girl who started kicking hairs at me the second she came out of her travelling pot so... 😜

[@towalmoore]

Great, informative video once again, Dave and Camera Lady. For some reason, I did not enjoy this spider. I don't have problems with the blondi or stirmi so I'm not sure why I found this girl unsettling. The beginning made me think of the old Twilight Zone. We control the horizontal and vertical...

[@whatsthetemma1308]

Dave another great video. I really like the way you show how to make the enclosure and why your drilling the holes. I'm going to do this now to. Love the beastie mix and of course the Spider. Really enjoyed watching this.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Cool, thanks ❤️❤️❤️

[@jamesprice7470]

Great info Dave they are most impressive spider,I've got stirmi and aphosis.and they are quick,I found the stirmi a bit more bold than nervous.they do eat well.

[@sharkboy_twentytwo8155]

Theraposa has always been my favorite. If I were to ever get into the hobby, a T-Blonde, Trinidad Chevron, and Metalica would be my first choices.

[@tarantula_xing]

I have one of those! Awesome species

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Yes they are!

[@geoffreymedeiros1022]

Hi Dave, I believe they actually lose those pink feet once they mature and the stirmi only has pink on the first 4 legs and fade as they grow of course. Also great set up and great video 😊

[@vanburnburn]

I’ve been haired by a molt I pulled from my T apophysis. They aren’t a joke. Great video as usual Dave!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Sorry to hear that

[@daniellewithey6154]

Great video and a stunning spider, well timed as well! I literally ordered ones of these yesterday from Spa Spiders, a little 3-4 cm sling, so happy to get your tips! 🙂

[@daveslittlebeasties]

You have bought from a very reliable company I highly recommend them for all spiders ❤️👍
