Didn't think a virtual collab could ever be done without some awkwardness. Great editing like always Adam. Nice to hear of a channel I have not checked out either! Richard has amazing quality in his videos as well. Love how well designed his enclosures/terrariums are too. I don't watch much invert content, but when I do the enclosures seem barebones and nothing like what I see here.

[@tarantulacollective]

THANKS A LOT!

My Tarantulas were first lol. The reptiles came after . Figured if I were already keeping pets that freaked my family out, may as well get the reptiles I wanted also.

OMG. It's great to see this. Richard asked his veiwers (I'm appart of) for other KZbinrs to collab with. I suggested you because of one video where you said you where creeped out by spiders. I was hoping to see you with a T. lol. Everyone needs a T. They teach you a lot.

[@tarantulacollective]

💚🕷

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@myspiderungoliant]

My first tarantula recommendation is always the Chaco Golden Knee (Grammostola pulchripes). Very docile, very slow moving. They can get to quite an impressive size, they don’t need their cage constantly misted (they like it bone dry, so all you need is a water dish), and are hardy to the point of nearly being indestructible. They’re also readily available and slings can be dirt cheap. Like the Arizona blonde, they do take a REALLY long time to grow though.

[@china_sickness7005]

I got a G Pulchripes in February. It’s my first tarantula. It is currently around the 2 and 1/4 inch mark. Mine is extremely entertaining to feed. Other than when it was in premolt, it has never declined food and it gladly takes down crickets over half its size. It’s a little fire ball. It is pretty docile but it can be slightly bolty at times. It has also never kicked hairs in the three months I’ve had it. Overall, I don’t know if I could’ve gotten a better first tarantula. I’m definitely looking forward to it getting bigger

[@trigtrigger9794]

@@china_sickness7005 how big are you expecting it to grow??

[@china_sickness7005]

@Trig Trigger They’re a large species. Females commonly get a leg span of up to 8” but it takes about five years for them to grow from a spiderling to an adult

[@gregorysamaniego36]

Best t to give as a gift to someone affraid of any spiders is a P. murinus

[@wkgrizzly5637]

Nobody want that boring ahh tarantula

[@AllCanadianReptileGirl]

Ok... This one was tough. Not a huge fan of spiders, but I got through. Cool, if a little terrifying, collab. My dad recently got a rose hair sling that I want nothing to do with (I've named her 'Nope'). You mention Latrielle classifying the bird eating tarantula. Even though he was primarily an entomologist, he actually classified the heterodon genus too, with the eastern hognose snake! He's got a really cool life story - orphaned, training for priesthood, rebellion, sentenced to death, saved by a beetle, it's wild!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I have to look into that, so cool

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Would you ever consider keeping one of these Tarantulas?

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

[@maleahtortilla587]

[@reedwetzel1324]

Nope, they freak me out and honestly, I cannot keep anything that eats bugs also freak me out. Main reason, I only keep snakes, since I can feed then mice and rats.

[@Paula-sw2tt]

As a child, we had property in East San Diego county, CA. My father grew citrus and macadamia nut trees. He would but a hose down an abandoned gopher hole and very often a wet Desert blonde trantula would emerge. That you be my toy for a little while. I must have handled dozens of them and was never bitten. One of my all time fav. Right now I bonly have a Mexican red knee and a Brazilian black, but want to add a Desert blonde and a Curly hair soon. Awesome video, thanks guys for recognizing that a lot of reptile keepers also keep tarantulas.

Oh yeah.... Speaking my lingo! I really miss my Togo Starburst, loved watching her at night. My desert blonde was terrible at kicking and hated the water dish, no matter how small. Lol. Decided misting in a small area was what was needed and she did great. Her burrows were very long and deep.

[@jeffbing6689]

Great collab, two of my favorite KZbinrs out there, well done 👏

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Wow, thanks!

[@thesteelbutterfly]

This is a really good list for people new to thinking about getting a tarantula. Though, the Goliath Birdeater should only be suggested once you have more experience, but the rest are awsome picks. Its very hard to choose especially since the Brachypelmas and Grammostolas are perfect beginners but they grow pretty slow. The Brazilian Black is probably my favorite Grammostola species up to date.

[@tarantulacollective]

This list was supposed to be a little different than a beginner tarantula list. It is a list for people that already keep reptiles so it was assumed they have expereince with humidity, temps, and dealing with species that can be defensive and have venom.

[@zulemazahir666]

Okay, how in the heck has this been out this long and I'm just barely finding this?!? Love any tarantula tubers/educators collabing with you.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Richard is the man!

[@adamguest5292]

Important caveat to keeping Caribena versicolor spiderlings if you go that route is to ensure your enclosure has excellent cross ventilation. Stuffy enclosures focused solely on humidity will kill the spiderlings pretty easily.

[@china_sickness7005]

I’ve heard that keepers years ago would say it’s necessary to keep their humidity through the roof, and it resulted in a lot of dead spiders

The Mexican red knee is the reason I ever became interested in tarantulas at all. I still remember visiting a certain little zoo as a child quite regularly and every time I was just captivated by the beauty of this big, dark spider with it's red knees. When I'm ready for a tarantula (ie no arachnophobic housemates) a red knee is what I'm getting, no doubt about it

[@jennareimann300]

Thanks for this vid. Helped me decide which would be best for me.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Great to hear!

[@x_SpookyxBakedxBiscuit_x]

If you're looking for a Caribena versicolor, yes, they have very easy care when older but are SUPER fragile as slings (babies) and can seemingly die for no reason. (This CAN happen as adults but its less likely. It's often called 'Sudden Avic Death Syndrome' and affects Caribena and Avicularia genuses)They need both a decent amount of humidity and a lot of ventilation. Misting a lot can kill them though. Always make sure they have a water dish with water in it that they can't drown in. If you want one it may be best to look for one that is a young juvenile/established as opposed to a fresh sling. An Avicularia avicularia (Guyana pink toe) is also a great option that's even easier to find, cheaper, and very similar in most ways. A good selection of Ts in this video though! Some other great starter species are a (Tliltocatl albopilosus) Curly hair, Brazilian black (Grammistola pulchra), and Chaco Golden Knee (Grammistola pulchripies). Brazilian black and Arizona blonde are my all time favorite tarantulas!

Tarantulas are awesome! And definitely follow Richard at The Tarantula Collective if you’re into tarantulas or want to be. Great videos. That’s an awesome list! I might also add that if you don’t have a lot of space or like smaller critters in general, there are lots of dwarf species too! Some of which make pretty good or even great beginner spiders. (Imo) Most of them top out around 2-3 inches and usually live around 7-12 years (if a 20-30 year commitment makes you pause). Dwarf or small species also often grow a little faster and show their adult colors a lot earlier than some larger species which is pretty cool. There are some small species that only get 4-5 inches that are sometimes lumped in with dwarfs too. There’s pretty much a species to suit practically everyone.

Sweet content, got into reptiles late in my life and only rather recently relatively speaking. I always had that unfounded fear of snakes driven largely by that “the best snake is a dead snake” mentality held my the adults in my childhood life, but realized after my first snake those fears were completely unfounded. Still have a phobia of spiders but content like this is bringing me around. Thanks for that in the sincerest way. Once I have the education to make an informed decision I may very well have a Tarantula in my future.

[@shinigamigirl666]

This is a pretty solid list! I think personally I would've replaced C. versicolor with Grammostola pulchra/Brazilian black and T. blondi with one of the Lasiodora species, but that's really just due to personal preference. Also kind of relieved to see a "best starter/pet tarantulas" list that doesn't have curlyhairs at #1, great as they are lol I hope this is a sign of things to come, Adam ;)
