Two new Huntsmans there Care and Housing

[@maxanderson9187]

As a native Australian, I would like to suggest they feed best on fear, and their most preferred habitats are a). bedroom ceilings right above your pillow and, 2) under car door handles and inside car mirrors. And yes, they are fast.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

😂😂😂 we do like to just get on with it 😂👍

[@marat5617]

I learned today that Huntsman spiders can run 3 feet per second and there are two species that do cartwheels when they need to flee from danger. How neat is that!?! I want a David Bowie eventually. They're so beautiful! Even though they move so fast, they still move with grace and confidence. Very special spiders 😃

They just got insulted because you were poking them with a paintbrush! They were saying " how dare you!" Then teleporting across the enclosure! Holy cow! So fast!

I love how fluffy the davidbowie is for a non-tarantula spider :D I have a H. javana and the way their faces look permanently grumpy amuses me ;) Thanks for the feeding tips! As I have struggled to find info on how often to feed.

[@lindabriggs5118]

Hi Dave and Camera Lady! I once saw a huge huntsman when I was in Alice Springs down under in Australia. It was after midnight and a few of us were sitting on the back patio drinking wine and getting snockered. LOL. SO this spider was running fast because there was even bigger lizard trying to catch it. But They are a gangly spider. News here...I think my t.albopilosum is getting ready to molt. She's encased herself into a big ball of webbing. She's webbed every where. The top, sides and her hole. Can't wait to see what's going on when I get up in the morning. Until later. It's 5:30 am here and just got up. Imagine my surprise when I spy an egg sac? OMG! I wasn't expecting to be tossed into the hobby like this. My Baybee had babies!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thats fantastic news now just leave her nice and quite for around 35 days or so if you want to pull the sack or just leave her to it and let her do the work , so exciting Linda so pleased for you 😂👍👍👍good luck girl❤️

[@lindabriggs5118]

I think I'm going to start calling her the virgin mary...lol. I mean really even Stephen, the one who bred and raised her to 3 inches, can't imagine how she got preggers. Of course when told him he laughed his head off about it. What's funny is I watched your video about pull the egg sac from one of your T's just last month! As I write this she is hovering over the top of sac and hasn't moved. I know she probably won't eat so not going to even try. Will check she has ample water though, every day. Since this is her first maybe I won't be too over whelmed with the number. Oh. One of the guys I work with wants a few and so does my oldest grand-daughter. But guess I have to get ready a spider nursery soon. Oh lordy, I'm still in a bit of a shock here...lol. I'll send pics when I can. Hugs to you both. 🤗🤗🤗🕷🕷 and have a few pints with me later. 🍻🍺🍺

[@daveslittlebeasties]

@@lindabriggs5118 it may well be a phantom egg sack if the guy you got her from raised her and not bred her?

Guess we'll find out in 30 days! LOL

[@Ladymay58]

Nothing like the Australian huntsman ours are HUUUGE... ... I hate them ... Too quick and tooooo big here. You can have them.. ..The last time I had one in the house it was the size of a bread and butter plate, and once I came down stairs to find thousands of baby spiders up on the wall all hanging of threads of webs.. Never jumped on so many pieces of furniture so fast as to get out of their way.. I have a spider phobia as you might have guessed by now.. They make my skin crawl which is surprising to me that I am sitting here watching your videos. !! Have fun and enjoy your hobbie.. I'll stick to my painting I think.. hahaha

[@anthonyandrew3032]

love your enclosus so much

[@PanicMerchant]

Hunstmans have always wigged me out. In order to flatten to fit behind tree bark etc their legs are jointed differently to other spiders, so they don't move like you'd expect a spider to. And they have an awful habit of falling from ceilings onto unsuspecting children.

[@Ladymay58]

And adults.. yuk !! Hate them..

[@EthanBorsboom]

I honestly don't understand how people find these scarier than tarantulas but to be fair I am from Australia and they get pretty fucking big here

[@crabstick250]

Maybe it's the lack of hairiness on body and legs? The color and size creep me out.

[@EthanBorsboom]

@@crabstick250 I love them i had one on my roof the othernight and I just let him be. They catch insects for you

[@BugsandBiology]

Maybe they're just less familiar to most people. Huntsmen have milder venom, smaller fangs, are more reluctant to bite, and even the largest species are way smaller than tarantulas (in terms of mass).

Question Dave: how big can the Huntsmans get because I had a liberty call in Perth and I swear the one I saw was as big if not bigger than a Birdeater!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Some Australian ones are huge 👍

[@BugsandBiology]

Rather doubt that. Australia's two biggest huntsmen (Typostola barbata and Beregama aurea) seldom get much over 16cm across. Birdeaters (Theraphosa spp.) frequently exceed 20cm and are far bulkier. The biggest huntsman is an Asian species called Heteropoda maxima, reputed to reach a legspan of 30cm.

[@machinistmikethetinkerer4827]
