The way those stridulate is adorable...although you can clearly tell she's really pissed LOL. Good demonstration of the stridulation though, a lot of videos will show them doing it but not a good enough closeup of them moving their chelicerae and palps. This one definitely has a good closeup and the T itself couldn't've been any more dramatic about it.
Oh definitely, I actually use this video now as a demonstration to people how stridulating works with T's. Looks slightly bigger than 80mm on the cam, but not all that small either. I have a couple nhandus that measure about 6-8mm's tops that're a year old LOL. pretty impossible to measure them exactly because I can't even get them to show up as more than a blur on a camera, and they're too fast for measuring utensils.
@neo1530 Do you happen to know the Scientific name (Genus, Species) of this tarantula?? Quite frankly, i find it a bit hard to find the exact Scientific name of this spider, especially online. BTW, Awesome video & awesome specimen you got right there mate :D I just subscribed & put a thumbs up on your exiting vid :D
@realchulabx good comment fuck nose did you come up with that all by your self, if you read the details of the vid before you commented you know why i did it , tard
@JensTwn No Australian T's are considered to fall within this genus anymore. And the stupid common names are just placeholder names until they are formally described and given a scientific name.
@JensTwn Naa while that is one of the new genus it is at least well documented and so in that case the genus is used and just a placeholder species name is given (ie. Phlogius sp. 'goliath'). This one though is considered to fall within an entirely new genus by themselves and no details have yet been released by those working with them. The 'JT' tarantula is similar in this regard also having a new genus of its own. Alot of work going on with aussie t's at the moment :-).
@neo1530 me???? i tryed to order them from tropical tarantulas but no one has got back to me.........im not ordering from them again... useless bastards!!!!
Noice, looks like a barking spider we used to get in central QLD, sometimes called a bird eating spider cause they get soooo big. nice one. I have a spare fish tank you can have so she dont have to live in a plastic box.
that bitch is an ugly spider

She's quite the actress, isn't she? She certainly is putting up quite a show!
Unfortunately, I'm not afraid of spiders, so I just find it rather endearing. She's pretty gutsy.

@macgabreno Barking or Whistling spiders refer to all Australian T's, which span quite a few species.
The 'Bird Eating' title is thrown on by pet shops to garner additional sales.
It's kept in a plastic container in the interests of preserving space. Glass tanks offer no additional benefit for the spider.
