Agressive Thai Tiger (Vietnamese Tiger Rump)

[Jaredr781]

Thats bad ass!!

[YogDodoth]

vaya, me parece que alguien se hizo caca...

[oyonan]

What a couple of wussies.

[linuxpowerification]

omg how hhave managed to put it there in the first place?

[donvene84]

ay que susto tengomiedo

[reptilia5]

Great vid. but what is it about you tube that brings out the assholes with their stupid,childish comments???

[pencil20000]

It is a very gorgeous spider. It must also be quite healthy if it is that big at an age that young. Good on you, sirs!

[TheUniray11]

Yes,ist´s so funny



[TheTerraCore]

I would be pissed like this, too. If i had to life in a thing like this, without air circulation.

[bionicdisorder]

are you retarded? tapping the tank wont make it move it will probably do the opposite!!!!! id love to see u mess around like that with a faster species lol

[Nefelisdiardi]

Well, now you know thaat Haplopelmas tend to be feisty (prolite word for maniac). But you seriously need to educate yourself. This is no "he", and many Asian species, including the Haplopelmas, need deep substrates if they're going to thrive. Sure, you won't see them much, but then you should just get another species. Arrange the terrarium accordingly, or don't keep them!

[tarantulaguy654]

0:01 hmmm Russian words................*flips over* oh wait it's english

[3334roy]

well done! that made me jump :-)

[axelroach]

perfect example of people getting an exotic pet b4 researching or knowing how to handle one. Hope you get bit

[demonjack123]

@axelroach Hope you pull your head out of your ass =)

[leemus08]

@axelroach you do realise sometimes its unavoidable ..especially dealing with aggressive tarantulas .. perhaps the best thing to do was to just leave the tub in there until the spider calmed down .. which i think in the end they probably decided to do ..

[hordichuck]

you think it was hard to deal with in there? if it had managed to get out at 3.15 you really would have been in a world of shit

[ToeVeZ]

So i just read the comment above about you would move him later, i have one question, how do you get that out of the cage, without getting killed? :D

[TinaXAnimeXChan]

I was like "wait for it, any minute now that mother fucker will come out, any minute now" to tell you the truth its a pretty spider and yeah aggressive tarantulas are so much more fun xD they make my adrenalin go up!!! XPPP

[MrBarrybuoy]

i hope the next vid u post is of ur swollen neck!! these t's r known to run up that thing u pokin him with an sink his bad buoys in ur neck

[skypiercer03]

the legendary haplo attitude. I get an orgy every time mine acts up lol.

[hatchboi6969]

you dont know shit!!! they need at least 4 preferably 6 inch substrate to allow them to burrow! chek mine out your is bigger

[ProjectProvidence]

@hatchboi6969 This is an old video. It was a temporary habitat. Thanks for your concern.

[inferajum]

i had one of these for several years. very beautiful but quite aggressive. tried to pick up once it gave me tyhe full view of its fangs and i decided nah not a good idea

[VOYAGERXP]

Adding more substrate to its enclosure may help as like cobalt blue's they like burrowing.

[SAPPOROGAIJIN]

KILL IT !!! AAAAAARGH !!!

[catfish640]

i just ordered a breeding pare of these guys.there mean as hell.

[Pfizenmaier]

I don't like spiders, I'm more the chamaleon type but what d'you expect man ?

I mean you're making her angry and by the way, even for a spider, the tank is way to small

[lgdarespermy123]

dont understand why anyone would want a tarantula they cant hold. mexican red knee.. know thats a tarantula you want. or a chili rose hair..

[ProjectProvidence]

@lgdarespermy123 Have both a Chilean Flame-Hair and a Mexican Red-Rump... but there's something about the more aggressive tarantulas that's just more interesting.

[djallusive]

@ProjectProvidence hey all tarantulas are interesting!

[KatakiDoragon]

@lgdarespermy123 Speak for yourself. I have a chilean Rose Hair... I've heard they're not aggressive but dayem, mine counts anything that goes into her little terrarium as food. Except me. She likes me enough to give me about half a second of warning.

[JensTwn]

@lgdarespermy123 Birdspiders are not for holding, they are solitary animals without any social mechanisms. I your post is a year old but im bored at my work at the moment =)

Salute

[Davkuy]

@lgdarespermy123 I have one of these, plus 3 other Haplopelmas, and even though this one is is the most agressive, I have held all of them, and the rest of them are frendlier than my Mexican Red Knee. They are not so much aggressive, as they are skittish and deffensive. But if you get them comfortable they actually can be quite friendly. I have been thumped by my red knee and all of my rosies, but never my OBT or my Cobalt blue. Never been bit though, and I hold every one of my 30 spiders.

[skyrider17]

@Davkuy hey dude if you hold your old world tarantulas, please post your videos so we could see and believe that you handled them with ease, if it's friendly than a mexican red knee then show us of your videos... that's pretty cool... :O

[MultiBallz2u]

@lgdarespermy123 why do you want to handle a T? does it make you look bad ass? the T will be more stressed out if you hold it they are creatures to look at, you have to see the beauty of them and if you cant do that without handling, you might be better off with a cat or a dog or hamster..

[wickedweasel666]

@lgdarespermy123 Haha, it's not about the hold... it's about the looooooooove

[MegaGhit]

keep that up and you guys will b posting a bite video soon hahahahaha

[ProjectProvidence]

@MegaGhit LOL, let's hope not!

[skyrider17]

@ProjectProvidence wow scary type dude, love to have one too... tarantulas here in philippines is very popular too... but i could not dare to handle that i heard that it has a very dangerous venom than most of the tarantulas like the indian ornamental...

[headbutter]

it's mad because you don't have enough substrate for her to burrow

[ProjectProvidence]

It's mad because God made it that way, LOL.

[ritljo]

hey fellow tarantula collecter i let this breed crawl on my face lol

[ProjectProvidence]

You, my friend, are very brave, LOL.

[xxxMrAwesomexxx]

If you haven't already take that sponge out of there. If it gets mold it can kill your T. FYI. Love that tarantula. Looks awesome! I prefer the mean and fast ones.

[ProjectProvidence]

Thanks for the advice... and don't worry ... it was a temporary terrarium, no more sponge : )

[Jon3800]

sweet T man, those Haplos are nasty aren't they? I dread the day I have to transfer my minax, great video

[ProjectProvidence]

Yeah, they can be tricky.... and scary, LOL.

[Jon3800]

I know, I own the lividum and minax lols. They're pretty nasty tempered

[ProjectProvidence]

Yes, yes they are.

[ritljo]

@Jon3800 i let haplo minax haplo livdum and haplo longipes crawl on my face loli subscribed you

[ProjectProvidence]

I dunno I prefer a bigger spider as a pet... it's the small ones I would probably worry about. Of course if you're gonna get a big spider as a "pet" it's always better to get something you can handle. The one in this video was strictly for display only.

[mma316]

12" 18" tweezers will save you a near death experience!

[Haplofool]

not if the spider decides to run up them. LOL!

[ProjectProvidence]

LOL, good point... well atleast it might make us feel better : )

[Haplofool]

I cannot tell if that's a Longipes or a Vonwirthi (aka Sp Vietnam). They are both high-strung and extremely defensive. My female Longipes damn near gave me a heart attack once and the Vonwirthi are pretty nasty too! Great lookin' T you have!

[ProjectProvidence]

It's a Longipes, and yes it is extremely defensive, LOL. Good luck with your and thanks for watching!

[trackone]

how many guys does it take to coax a haplopelma sp. out of a container.... lol

[ProjectProvidence]

LOL! Alot more than 2 apparently, haha.

[du3lz]

take that god damn spong out of the water! it only leads to mold that can hram your t. they drink from liquid water

[ProjectProvidence]

Thanks for the advice... this video is rather old... the sponge was removed that same day... thanks anyway.

[hackneysk8er]

Just so you guys know...You spelt "veitnam" wrong, it is spelt "Vietnam" ^____^ this is the next spider on my list

[ProjectProvidence]

Thanks for the heads up.

[sunlun123]

@hackneysk8er ok, i'm Vietnamese

[hackneysk8er]

@sunlun123 yh? so am I....

[lc146391]

@hackneysk8er you 'spelt' 'spelled' wrong.

[Senfglasleerlecker]

Haplopelma longipes are very tasty.

[KingSeemani]

Nice vid... +5 +fav

[ProjectProvidence]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[venomous666]

Good video--added it to my favorites. this species is a burrower by nature though, so adding a great deal of substrate (6-8 inches maybe) would make her more comfortable. They don't like being out in the open, and terrarium maitennance would go much smoother--although you'd have to rehouse her to do this---yikes!

[ProjectProvidence]

Thanks for the tips. This was our first time working with a burrower. The tank wasn't exactly what we had planned but it was meant to just hold her temporarily. Rehousing does sound like fun; but also alot of risk, LOL. If we do we'll be sure to post up more footage. Thanks for watching!

[venomous666]

Indeed! I've had a few (million) frightening experiences with Haplopelma species, not to mention a few bites....

...Live and learn, lol!

She (?) is a beautiful creature though--especially striking for an earth tiger and seems quite large! Again, wonderful video.

[ProjectProvidence]

Not too sure about the gender at the time ... the previous owners told us it was a guy ... but it was hard to tell honestly. Thanks for watching!

[ProjectProvidence]

Yes, it indeed a "Vietnamese Tiger Rump". Unfortunately most Old World tarantulas from Asia are sold in pet stores and randomly labeled "Thai Tigers" without actually giving the name of the species itself.

I believe the Haplopelma Longipes is venomous, though you won't find much info online. I've heard the bite is extremely painful, on the same level as a Cobalt Blue, and comparably worse than a wasp sting.

[unsavourycharacter]

Took me a LONG time with my haplopelma minax!

[piggy237]

Oh come on guys. Your making a real big deal out of that. Just pick the tub up and gently tilt it until the T walks off. He wont bite ya ! ;o)

Nice specimen though.

Good Luck

[ProjectProvidence]

LOL We know, we know. We're just used to handling New World Tarantulas only. This is one of the first Old World Tarantulas we got, and we just didn't know what to expect.

Compared to our Mexican Red Rump, Chilean FIre-Hair, and Emperor Scorpion, this guy is quite a handful, though very fun to own.
