Top 10 RARE & EXPENSIVE Tarantulas!

[@tarantulacollective]

Check out my LATEST Tarantula Documentary Video here - this is my favorite video I have so far: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opWaZKltZphrnrs

[@lucasjeansonne2680]

Orphnaecus philippinus. Never ever seen a video on thos one from you. So perhaps its rarer that all the others in the US

[@awetistic5295]

T. seladonia is one of the most beautiful animals I've ever seen. That tiny little threat pose was too adorable.

[@babachlovari4782]

That brazilian jewel completely changed my attitude towards tarantulas it made me want to get one

[@samuelossa1031]

I started using KZbin just for your videos. I watch them on my TV. You make the BEST videos.

[@tarantulacollective]

Thanks so much Samuel

[@jimmytiller6012]

The one I would want from this list is the Orange Earth Tiger for sure!!

Yes!!! Me too!

Same

[@laur.b9679]

the little threat pose from the T.seladonia was absolutely adorable lol

[@crowofjudgement8810]

T. Seladonia has definitely come down a lot in price, there was spiderlings recently available in the uk from one of the main tarantula dealers here that were being sold for £95 or around $140 which isn't super cheap but they are still way too complicated for me to try keeping them especially with such specific housing requirements, i would always want my Ts comfort to be priority and I don't think i cpuld deliver on that with a T. Seladonia

[@chilits5258]

Hi Richard... Can you make a top 10 list for the fast growing tarantulas?

[@alineheiler7804]

I own a T.seladonia but I never see her - she is always chilling behind her trapdoor 🙈😅 Any time I open the door to check on her, she would immediately put one leg out to close the door again 😂

[@kittysparkleeyes]

Privacy ya know ? 😂😂

[@tarantula_town]

Was stoked to see the T. seladonia top of the list! 🕷

[@pettime2785]

When there is a new species that was discovered people immediately start collecting them before hey they become a protected species

[@carnage337.]

Tbh the people who collect T's are their primary protectors. Most of these species are bred safely in captivity whereas in the wild chances of successfully reproducing are slim.

[@patrickmcglonejr8163]

In a way its actually helping to preserve the species, as long as said collector knows what they are doing and isn't an amateur.

[@pettime2785]

Even though all tarantula species wah wild caught at some point I think we should have licenses that make it legal for some people to capture them and breen them to make Captain bread specimens that's just my opinion what do you guys think??

[@jenburkholder6541]

I like captain bread, it makes good sanmmichs.

It took me forever to find a g pulchra sling. When I did find one it went for $80. I've seen them anywhere between $80 - $120

[@Billbeaux]

Maaaaaaannn you are killin it with these vids+music. Really makes my day, Richard.

[@necromancer-x]

Hey! I don't know if I'm missing it when looking through your uploads, but a video about PURPLE tarantula species would be awesome! 💜 :)

The Colombian bumblebee is gorgeous! It's the only one on this list I didn't know about before. :)

Has since been reclssified as Neoholothele fascia aurinigria

Love you richard,your videos are AWESOME 🕷🕷💟💟💟

[@dukemetzger3784]

Number one is my holy grail! They weren't even available when I was active in the hobby.

[@christophermccurry8039]

I have been loving your channel. I have been severely arachnophobic my whole life and about 3 months ago I got tired of it so I started keeping various jumping spiders. About a month ago I got a young wolf spider. 2 days ago I held my first tarantula, a young Grammostola pulchripes, and purchased a Hapalopus sp. Columbia spiderling as my first T. Thanks for helping keep me encouraged in my quest to get rid of my arachnophobia.

[@VrejHAI]

All of the jumping spiders here in Canada are incredibly tiny. Are there breeders that sell bigger jumping spiders like those that are about an inch in size?

[@christophermccurry8039]

@@VrejHAI yes there are. Unfortunately I am completely ignorant of Canadian import laws. I can tell you two species to look for though. Phiddipus regius (Regal jumper) and the Phiddipus audax (bold jumper). Both are great spiders with good temperaments and can get to a fair size, especially the females. Wish I could be of more help but I am only familiar with US shops and laws.

[@VrejHAI]

Haha u got the bug my friend ❤

[@christophermccurry8039]

[@togurix3780]

Yeah i agree with u and its a real beauty XD didnt saw ur comment first. But i thinked same as u. Greeds from Germany

Lava Spider , & the ( Hon-sej ) Orange Earth Tiger Tarantula at 6:23 - 8:35 . And the Colombian Bumblebee Tarantula at 8:57 the dark color pink or orange color shade ones only of the species is pretty as well & the 10:14 - Brazilian Jewel Tarantula I like as well because I think they are the most colorful or prettiest one way or another ..

Just found your channel! I'm typically a reptile person but I'm excited to learn more and maybe get into a new hobby....

[@tarantulacollective]

Welcome aboard! It is great to have you! You should definately think about getting a pet tarantula...they are amazing! I actually have a playlist of videos just for people like yourself thinking about getting into the hobby, it is kind of a crash course on keeping tarantulas: kzbin.info/aero/PLjBrtja7Q8uj435GOoijmU_ZRphfcx6tg

[@BaiNaiMai]

@@tarantulacollective Oh wow, that's fantastic! Thank you!

[@DFangs219]

I'm a reptile guy as well but since i found this channel I now own more T's than reptiles. Much love for both!

[@JustAWalkingFish]

Same here. I got into inverts like 6 months ago, and it's honestly addicting. I have more inverts now than reptiles, since they're so much smaller and easier to keep Edit: Still no Ts tho. I'm hoping to get one soon

[@amicaaranearum]

Tarantulas are low-maintenance and can be cheap to acquire and care for -- give one a try.

[@armintamsarian3859]

Here in europe, some breeders sale T. Seladonia for 75 $, Birupes simoroxigorum between 40 and 60$,... if you have the opportunity to visit the breeders meetings in Belgium, Germany or Holland, you will be surprised by the very low prices.

[@pettime2785]

Whenever there is a very species available chances are that wild caught which sucks because it's never good to wild catch animals

[@nanoreefer1622]

Every species in captivity where wild caught as some point or another. Wild caught animals are perfectly fine providing its regulated and they are not over collected. Infact will caught specimens are useful to captive populations as it introduces fresh bloodlines into the captive population and reduces inbreeding. Captive populations can then be reintroduced into wild if necessary.

[@lauraclegg794]

I've they are collected responsibly & not sold as pets, used to produce captive farmed then captive bred, I think that's ok xx

[@ezzedinezeid6049]

That's the moral issue in the hobby. Because without wild caught Ts, we won't have new Ts available for keeping...

[@kriscalvert5168]

At 45, I'm a little late getting into the "T life," but I'm so excited too. After extensive research, I have decided on starting with the C. Versicolor, although honestly, I want the Brazilian jewel.

[@trala8911]

The Brazilian Jewel moves in such a hilarious and adorable way. I’ve never seen a spider walk like that!

[@Nix_IoI]

It walks like a robot 😂

[@Nix_IoI]

Or like a cartoon character

[@zekiharris1869]

You have made my day 😀😀😀

[@RoyIMVU]

I had no idea the "electric blue" was a rarer one. I am so pleased with mine. It is still small. Birupes here is 300$ Canadian for a one inch unsexed that I am tempted to get. I am a sucker for blue tarantulas.

[@nickstarantulas]

Mine has been pretty cool. She is about 1.5” maybe 2.25” at this point. She has webbed up the entire sabertooth scull I’ve put in her enclosure. She sits at the front with those bright blue legs hanging out every night.

[@brianlindsay9097]

Wow, that Xenesthis sure was striking. I liked the A. mooreae too...

[@dirtragzzz]

I have the Aphonopelma mooreae. I've had it for about 2 years now and it's barely 1 in. They are extremely slow growers! I bought it as a sling from fear not tarantulas for $350.

[@gutz323]

Damn! Tarantulas are expensive in the US. You can get some of these in the UK for a fraction of the price. For instance a seledonia spiderling would set you back maybe £75 and a chilobrachys electric blue about £20/25. I guess there is far more keepers in the US and a few egg sacs of a rare species in the UK would probably satisfy the demand for the whole country.

[@the1killjoy657]

Yeah I noticed this, I'm fairly sure the spider shop had Brazilian jewel slings for around £90 a few weeks ago, unfortunately I couldn't justify the spend on a 1cm sling otherwise I would've snapped one up.

[@GAMINGSAVESLIVESMAYBE]

i think its mainly legal stuff that keeps the species count low over here... plus i don't think alot survive the journey as well ...there maybe a shipment of100 of a certain species and maybe 20 or 30 will make it to a keeper

[@majesty1110]

That birupes somoroxigorum molting footage is great!

[@ethanmccormack9561]

The T. seladonia is my ultimate wish list T but I want to become a lot more experienced first before getting one so I can give the best possible care. Here in the UK you can get a sling for about £95 so the price is dropping as a year and half ago they priced about £200 for a sling. That threat pose was the cutest thing I have ever seen 😍😍
