As an arachnophobic, I've learned to respect spiders as every other animal because of your channel. You gave me so much information and humanity instead of killing spiders in my apartment, I'll carefully and humanely release them back to the nature. I even found a wild Salticidae in my desk here, and this girl was so smart and calm, looking at me and tilting her cephalothorax with those cute little eyes, and jumping between my hands as if it was playing. I kept her in an enclosure and she's one little happy and smart girl, literally behaves like a cat. Much love for you my man. and little Petrova sends her HAY BEEG HOOMAN! as well.

That guy deserves to (in due time) go to spider Valhalla in a flaming ship sendoff like you gave Paul when he leaves this mortal plane. I hope his owner obliges; certainly your video of the unforgettable ceremony with Paul gives all necessary details, including what to avoid. (That was your most hilarious video, especially when you pronounced that Paul was "fine" after dying, being frozen and floating in a burning boat.) If this pairing had been in a small enclosure, he would not have been able to escape. Doing it in a spacious 3-D space with easy exit and lots of opportunity to learn the layout saved his life. That and his mad skills.

My 11 yr old son has started his collection of trantula. At the current time he has 3.2 curly hair they are juveniles. And he just got a Arizona blonde. I'm really wanting a sling so he can raise it. I'm very supportive of my son Travis. He is very protective of them and always is very responsible with them and their needs. He enjoys watching your channel as well as myself. So thank you for always giving great information on the trantula and certain species because he really pays attention to everything that you say. So thank you very much.god bless

I'm new to this channel and this was my first time seeing tarantulas try to mate. I'm generally not afraid of spiders but I have earbuds in so the noise and the quick movement startled me a bit. The male sure was lucky.

[@kv2315]

Thank you Petko for your love an passion about all these little guys. until i discovered your channel i never even thought about getting a tarantual as a pet. But today was the day i could not resist an i got myself 2 of them. they are juvelines tho. first one is a Psalmopoeus Irminia an the second one a poecilotheria Regalis. but im not sure if the regalis really is a regalis. ANYWAY thank you i love your videos and how you changed my way of looking at spiders! greetings from Austria

[@SinisterSquid]

Holy crap that attack from her totally startled me LOL. Excellent dodge from the male, and great video as always Petko!

[@dannaisbitt2515]

Seems to me like you haven’t conditioned the female to be receptive to the Male Petko? With my Pamphos they have to go through a process similar to the atmospheric and humidity changes etc they would get in the wild. You basically simulate a very short change of season which coincides with breeding season. That way you have a much better chance of them pairing!

[@Jooligan1]

From previous reading about breeding it's best NOT to introduce male straight away but put enclosures next to each other so the male and female can pick up each others scent and watch if they react to each other then later on introduce male now that the female is aware of his presence - nice vid

If you take it all the way down to 0.25 speed (from like 12:16 if you wanna see the whole pairing) you can see how she tried to clamp down with her fangs but he had tipped backwards onto his back so she missed and he kicked her off as she wrapped around him with her legs thinking she had got him. Intense stuff! Even that slow, it's hard to see him running away as it was SO fast, and she was right on his tail. He was under there for 5 full seconds though so fingers crossed 😁
