Unboxing from Shane's Spiders Plus Some New Additions!

[@natashamalpusthamesartnail1228]

Alex you crack me up! I’m dead, do not touch me I’m dead! You be dead 😂😂 Those beetles are super cute though! And you truly looked like a kid in a sweet shop opening that big box!

[@TarantulaHaven]

Hi Natasha! LOL! That was a lot of cool stuff. Those beetles are funny. 😂

[@sandywalter9728]

The beetles are really cool little dudes! ❤😂😅

[@TarantulaHaven]

I think so too! 😊👍🏼

[@Aquarimax]

Thanks for the shoutout! Excellent expo pickups. Let me know if I can help if you decide to embark on a blue death-feigning beetle breeding project 👍🏼 As you said, they will eat dead crickets, and I recommend freshly prekilled crickets as a staple dietary item to get them breeding and keep them healthy.

[@TarantulaHaven]

Hey! Anytime, not that you need it! I will most definitely be hitting you up for some breeding advice on these little guys. They are so fun to watch. 😂👍🏼

[@MOONOVERMIAMI]

Hello great video unboxing and rehousing Alex

[@TarantulaHaven]

Hi! Thank you. 😊

[@deshyyt.7995]

Glad to see people buying from Shane! I've gotten alot of my Ts, enclosures, and hides from him. He's awesome!

[@TarantulaHaven]

🤓👍🏼

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Keen to see the progress in raising beetles.

[@TarantulaHaven]

I’ll post updates as things progress. 🤓👍🏼

[@katiecrull77]

I was so excited to see a new video from you! I can't wait to see how it goes trying to breed and raise the beetles. I would like to try that myself in the future. I take my tarantulas and insects to school to show the kids too, and they love it! Love all your new additions and everything from Shane's Spiders was SO cool! I'm so sorry for your losses and glad to see you back ☺️

[@TarantulaHaven]

A fellow teacher! I’ll most certainly make a video if and when I attempt to raise up little beetle larvae. We’re 3 weeks into the school year and I’ve already taken a tarantula and a scorpion to school. The kids love them! 🤓👍🏼

[@alineheiler7804]

Adorable hides and beetles 🪲😍 Love you channel and I really enjoy your content!

[@TarantulaHaven]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. 😊

[@markrusher8377]

You have great taste on your insects, the beetles are a cool color and are active yet not to active. The desert look that made your tank "Awesome ". Thanks for some inspiration. Sincerely Rush

[@great-grandmakirk8828]

So many adorable hides and so useful. I love your channel and even though I don’t keep Tarantulas I enjoy seeing them. I’m glad you’re feeling better. ❤️my two favorite spiders are the Velvet spider and of course I love Jumping Spiders. At my age (79) I can’t believe I’m watching spiders, I used to be so afraid of them. Wow ! I really like watching the beetles they are fun. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@TarantulaHaven]

I think it’s great that you enjoy them vicariously. I kinda do the same with people who keep pets that I can’t keep. Thank you for watching my channel. 😊

[@joshuarosenblatt]

Love this. And I adore Rus at Aquarimax. I got my P priuinosis. And springtail clean up crew for my leopard gecko. He’s a wealth of info and due to the algorithms I was lead to Richard at TC. Went down the tarantula rabbit hole hard (now have 3, one month later- B smithi, A avicularia and a C cyaneopubescens). Through that initial T video dive I’ve since found you, Tom, David and so many other amazing teachers. To think it all started with a few isopods from Rus :). BDFB is on my list and I found an old 20gallon long that I plan on converting into a desert beetle hole this summer. 🤘

[@AdriansCreatures]

What lights do you use above your enclosures? I’m also shocked how under rated your channel is you and Dave’s beasties deserve more attention! Keep it up!

[@pepperlee2313]

Great video!!! I loved the beetles ❤

[@TarantulaHaven]

Thank you! The beetles are super cool!

[@mitch201211]

I love the the small rock hides I know my jumping spider would love that an will look great in her incloser

[@khallfour]

The beetles are so cute

[@TarantulaHaven]

I think so too! They’re so much fun to watch. 😄

[@kristiannolasco8451]

Ayeeee glad to see you're doing well and uploading once again!

[@TarantulaHaven]

Thank you. I'm trying to keep up with everything. I'm hoping to improve my posting from here on out. ☺

[@kristiannolasco8451]

@TarantulaHaven hey you gotta do what you gotta do just glad everything is good

[@Aquarimax]

Shane’s Spiders makes a lot of cool stuff! I can’t decide if the pumpkin hide, shelf fungus ledge, or replacement lids for Exo Terras are my favorite. Great intro to Shane’s Spiders, Alex!

[@TarantulaHaven]

Thank you. I really like the magnetic shelf items, both fungus and rock ledges, those come in real handy for geckos and arboreal tarantulas. I like the decorative aspect of them as well.

[@calliew311]

I want ALL of that stuff!!!! But RN I'm broke. We're in Oklahoma helping my father in law. He's dying. So, my husband is off work. Unemployment isn't enough to buy fun stuff. Lol. But in a few weeks, I'll get some for sure, when hubs goes back to work! Can't wait!!

[@AB-zm4mj]

Those beatles are cute ! Now i want some... But i just got a Tarantula

[@Leighannsl1]

Such a fantastic video ❤❤!!!! Loved watching the Shane's spiders unboxing i felt like a kid at Christmas too lol 😂!! Awesome new creatures as well 😊

[@TarantulaHaven]

Thanks! So much cool stuff! He’s got so many good ideas. 🤓👍🏼

[@eprohoda]

so breathtaking edition,sleep well. 🤞

[@TarantulaHaven]

Thank you. They’re really cool. 🤓👍🏼

[@sharonfloyd3101]

Awesome video there ❤

[@TarantulaHaven]

Thank you! 😊

[@AndroctonusHector]

That Velvet spider was insanely small my god 😭. Can’t wait to see updates on all the new editions and the collection.

[@clnfreakone8486]

Glad you are doing well and love to see videos posted from you … I really enjoy your content

[@TarantulaHaven]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. 😊

[@seansspoods9521]

Great to see you Alex, great video, great pick ups you got there, not got the electric blue yet myself only the Vietnam blue, velvets and jumpers are just so cute, and so intelligent. Love the beetles, they really are great and that haul from Shane was amazing 👍🏻

[@TarantulaHaven]

Thank you so much. I think I’m really going to enjoy keeping them. The stuff from Shane was amazing. I’m trying to think of where I can use everything. 😂

[@seansspoods9521]

@@TarantulaHaven You'll have to do a competition, spot the bits in the enclosures, see if people are paying attention lol

[@TarantulaHaven]

@@seansspoods9521 Ha! Good idea! 😂

[@503menagerie3]

Love those hides! Just fyi cholla isn’t ideal for BDFBs since they can get stuck in the hollow centers. I adore my desert beetle setup! They also do great with a low wattage basking spot and I often see mine hanging out and snoozing under the rocks under it.

[@TarantulaHaven]

Thank you for that info! I have some driftwood I think I’ll substitute for the cholla. 🤓👍🏼

[@johnlash6511]

Going to shows are great..

[@TarantulaHaven]

Yep. Lots of good deals. 🤓👍🏼

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@killslay]

"i'm at capacity" i hear that! now when one of my guys males out i'm happy i get to replace him sooner!

[@TarantulaHaven]

Yep. That’s how I play it now. If I have a male, it gives me an opportunity to get a new T. 😂

[@letrosezburn1495]

I am so glad to see you got the Beetles I really want to get some next and I'm bummed I didn't make it to Repticon to see you. But hope to meet you at animalcon!

[@TarantulaHaven]

Awesome! Hope to see you there! 😃👍🏼

[@wallydyer5561]

That's an awesome gift ideas for your fellow tarantula keeper's .

[@TarantulaHaven]

Yes! Very creative. He’s got so many things he’s creating for keepers. 🤓👍🏼

[@mitch201211]

My jumping spider kia is an old girl I've had her at inter 3 an have her for 3 years now ,she's she's still going strong, she can't catch her own food anymore, but all good with tong feeds

[@calliew311]

Right now I have 54 Phidippus audax slings that are i5-i6 and 20 slings at i-3 and i-4. They do require a lot of time. But I'm having a difficult time getting rid of them! And I only want 3 bucks a piece!

[@bettysbugs]

What terrarium did you use for the death beetles?

[@TarantulaHaven]

That was the Tarantula Cribs Large Slider.

[@bettysbugs]

@@TarantulaHaven thank you

Hi Alex

Hello!

[@dizzydeewilson220]

I was gutted to hear that the female jumping spiders have such a short lifespan. I'm going to check out Shanes spiders now.

[@Ashleys.exotics]

Was watching one of your videos, and then this one auto played afterwards, and I couldn't be more irritated. The amount of things you just showed me that I want!!!! I am never going to financially recover from this video.

Please people don't use plastics in your terrariums.. BPA's are very bad for invertebrates... please everyone read up about it..

[@TarantulaHaven]

3D printer PLA filament is a biodegradable and compostable material derived from plant starches, and do not contain BPA or PVC. They are perfectly safe to use in your enclosures. 🤓👍🏼
