[@jtktomb8598]

@@birdspiders My condoleances

[@mrether8579]

I was pairing this species only yesterday, it went on for over five hours, incredible experience. Such quality content. Thank you.

[@sherrybailey7985]

The little guy at the end grabbing up ants was so cute. Love it !!

[@pythonpatrolexotics]

I've been missing your 'in the wild' videos. Thank I love this genus!

[@VexedSpecter]

Awesome video! I have a 1/3" Cyriocosmus leetzi spiderling here at home, and it's really cool to see one in the wild! 😺

[@nineleafclover1477]

Cyriocosmus is such a cool genus! The C leetzi and C elegans are some of my favorite dwarf species

[@SATYASINVERTS]

Great video! Quality content as usual! Keep it up!

[@arachnidath]

yes! another tarantula in the wild video!

[@Traytay0612]

Love this genus! I have a leetzi, 2 elegans, and a sellatus.

[@Makrel94]

Tarantulas are threatened in many places, due too the pet trade. Along with loss of habitat and less food.. And mostly females being born due too higher temperatures and we have a big problem.

[@wendywendt4548]

It's very colorful ! Thank you for sharing !

[@arnoldsanz5834]

NEW SUBSCRIBER FROM SCHITZO PELMA TV ❤️ AND ALSO FROM PH 🇵🇭

[@KaroKoenich]

Thanks, my pleasure! Such cute little things.

[@alstare2000]

Don't leave comments too often but love your videos, thanks to your travels and time and effort I get to see what I missed in my younger years. All the best from Canada

[@birdspiders]

much appreciated! thank you

[@supralex1]

Wow. Fantastic video. I had a pet tarantula for 15 years. Your videos make me want to get another one! Subscribed!

[@Milkingtarantulas]

Martin using a green screen is a nice touch. Great video.

[@iamvenom7075]

Awesome shots thanks a lot

[@piotrekdziedzic9299]

Best for KZbin 👌

[@birdspiders]

Write down your favourite dwarf tarantula in the comments and have a chat with us! Enjoy the video and have fun with more videos on our channel

[@matthiaskaiser6202]

Hi Martin, thank you very much for the amazing content. I guess what you said about the temperatures also applies to C. elegans? I care one since december and it has a thunnel below some dried leaves but wouldn‘t make any deep burrow, just like you described in the video. Greetings from Luzern

[@birdspiders]

Our new Colombia field trip series starts today! We aim for one new video from the field every week, subscribe and share for more adventures! 03:29 - skip the intro (with spiders) and jump directly to the tarantula

[@B-Bandit70]

One's again great video.. 👍 I would like to see the aphonopelma bicoloratum in the wild.. 😬 Love the aphonopelmas..

[@jaxe3996]

Awwww they are soo cute, but they are so small you must have very good eyes to spott them....

[@DwarfsExotics]

What a Colourful species Thumbs up from me 👍

[@nelsonchacon3605]

Ola Bro me gustan bastante tus vídeos me llaman mucho la atención soy de Bogotá Colombia en pocas me gustaría salir a buscar tarántulas y aprender más de este tema y vos sabés bastante saludos y sigue subiendo videos son re entretenidos

[@ragsjo9751]

Great ending, mate... 😂

[@isaac14ac]

I only have one but they are amazing tarantulas wish I had more

[@ragsjo9751]

I would love to see A. geniculata in the wild... ;)

[@niolybarrida2931]

Im watching from Philippines ❤️

[@ibnsarachnids9175]

Beautiful T and it's a species on my wishlist. Take care. Ibnsarachnids aka Rob

[@maccoiigenito5870]

Shout out From Philippines🇵🇭😍

[@rkhnd51]

Just beautiful! Was that spider in the very end eating ANTS?!!

[@birdspiders]

it was! Trapdoor spider, probably one of it's main food source

[@janpaulvincentermitanio2335]

Schizo pelma tv referred to me to watch your YT channel. More power to your channel birdspider ch! Also from🇵🇭

[@lizmarrodriguez7349]

Do you foresee cyriocosmus hoeferi being available to the hobby any time soon? It is one I've been wishing for.

[@nyyppa7956]

8:22 and on some other photos and clips, is that Clidemia hirta I'm seeing? My identification might be incorrect but somehow it made me glad to see such an invasive species living and fitting in its native habitat :) And sorry I got distracted by the plants again :D

[@birdspiders]

someone knows her/his plants! Well spotted, most likely it is - comparing it to images in the web (: Thanks! Learned something new

[@nicrodel]

Best genus, I have leetzi, elegans, and ritae. Would love a hoeferi but I don't think they're in the hobby

[@kaceydm]

I really want to see M.balfori in the wild.

[@algwallt869]

I think Martin and Co would need a UN armed escort for that. I think the island they're found on has changed hands several times in a civil war over the past few years.

[@river4382]

Definitely do M balfouri at some point, always wanted to see wild communal tarantulas

[@birdspiders]

sure, but then I'd need more Patreons to get enough money for paying security guards :D Unsafe area at the moment

[@tungtungng4257]

another very cute man.....^^

[@rumpelstilzz]

You already seen avicularia minatrix in the wild?

[@mastergreigorio7543]

wanna be your assistant 😩😩😂😂 i love tarantulas

[@LunaHusky805]

Maybe you can find a Psalmopoeus Irminia in the wild?

[@marleyyates2995]

LINOTHELE FALLAX IN THE WILDDDDD!!!!!!!

[@alikermani3264]

thank you for your attractive video...I like to see OBT in the wild

[@androcorrales3302]

I think that is the Amazon rain forest

[@MrPsylocibine]

Hi, I am from Colombia, in wich part of the country where you?

[@jeffreygolish3827]

About how big does an adult get?

[@aljhoncarino7676]

Rare or common?

[@kevinpoe8137]

2:27 glowspot Roaches, I have a trio. Please, do a video on looking for hapalopus sp. Colombia in the wild

[@birdspiders]

well spot! That's why I recorded it :) Hapalopus might follow soon ;-)

[@geeesh1741]

Ok

[@yankeegohome2742]

Like 👏🏼👏🏼🇧🇷

[@balongpama6666]

i reccomend the salmon pink birdeater tarantula plss

[@AngelPerez-ig9bn]

Im watching in 2021

[@nvexotics9377]

It would be crazy if you could try to find Aphonopelma Bicoloratum, or Aphonopelma Moorea

[@birdspiders]

sadly it's pretty much a no-go zone due drug cartel activity in that region... maybe one day 💪 moderatum certainly more likely in the US part

[@nvexotics9377]

birdspidersCH oh that sucks, yeah theirs a lot of Moderatum in Del Rio,Texas, that’s we’re i got my female Aphonopelma Moderatum

[@pincheentlll4790]

I am here because of Schizophelmatv 😁😁 yeahhh. Its cool to watch your videos also!! More power

[@balongpama6666]

mee too hahaha

[@trueaussieray9093]

I'd love to watch skitzo but I just can't understand anything he says if only he spoke good English

[@tarantulanaticslair6599]

What kind of tarantula is that? The one that look like an psalmopeous irminia

[@birdspiders]

this is Cyriocosmus leetzi

[@jarrettjacquesgonzales4297]

Sschizo pelma-tv sent me here lmao

[@diewitkind6869]

The first spider is a sling and not a juvenile 😁

[@christianaerontaparan916]

Try to visit Philippines sir

[@NardLaad]

Schizo Pelma-TV brought me here.

[@birdspiders]

thanks Nard! Say Hi to Schizo Pelma TV on his channel from me :)

[@glockinshpiel]

You are handsome. 🧜🏻‍♂️

[@waldemarkoyczov5119]

Keine VS, aber bringt ein Video über Phoneutria bahiensis. Bislang die einzige Art der Gattung, von der kaum Fotos, geschweige denn Video-Aufnahmen existieren. Außerdem: Phoneutria sind Klick-bringer, gerade wenn das Video in Englisch ist. Da ihr dann eh in Brasilien seid, P. keyserlingi (Großraum Sao Paulo). Die Art wurde revalidiert in 2007 und war im Eu-Hobby seit den 90'ern 2 x verfügbar. Aufnahmen im Habitat wären von Interesse, da sich die damaligen "Hobby-ID's" nicht zu 100% mit den Angaben der Revision decken, aber auch zu keiner anderen beschriebenen Art passen. Wenn ihr schonmal da seid: Avicularia variegata, die Hobby "sp. Amazonica". Sehr schöne große Art, von der es m.W.n. keine Aufnahmen im Habitat gibt. Solltet ihr das in Betrachtet ziehen und Fragen zu den Phoneutria haben, gebt kurz Bescheid, wir machen den Kram dann per Mail aus.

[@estongarmstrong6524]

I came here because of schizopelma
