Is there a vid or 2 of your more deadly & hard to get spiders that can be seen a bit better?

Is a regalis more docile compared to other Pokies

[Jon3800]

@jrnero2

No. Bara or subfusca are but individuals vary

Hi John. Thanks for posting these great videos. I got into Tarantula keeping a while ago and went right to Poky slings. OK, so not the best choice for a novice keeper but they're now a few inchs and I've not had any major trouble, though they are lightening fast and a little defensive. I'm looking forward to when they're adult though, they should keep me on my toes!!

[Jon3800]

@zarndo my pleasure. Pokies are the easiest slings to keep. I've never had one that died on me, just those darn avics :(

[CasualGuitarHeroGuy]

Hey John, me again. My juvie B.Smithi molted tonight and I was wondering whats the best way to preserve a molt? Perhaps yyou could do a video about molt preservation and care as i'm eager to keep as manyy of mine as I can, thanks

[Jon3800]

@CasualGuitarHeroGuy

use hairspray and spray the molt and mount it on a cardboard or a piece of wood

[Jacksonkellyfreak]

hey Jon, is it true that the s calc venom can affect heart rate and cause severe blood pressure spikes?

[Jon3800]

@Jacksonkellyfreak

not sure.

[FlameSpartan]

Sorry Jon, but you don't inspire me... You just help me decide what T's to get :D Thanks for all the helpful vids!

[Jon3800]

@FlameSpartan

and how to care for them :)

[FlameSpartan]

@Jon3800 Yes :) You kept my B boehmi alive!

[BooshgaFilms]

well sir

you have been one of my greatest inspirations

and i have learned so much from you

all i can say is thank you jon

as far as i am concerned, you are youtubes greatest

[Tarantula7Tom]

im sure at 5:47 you said " you dont wanna feed mice to your trees"!? lol.

[Jon3800]

@Tarantula7Tom

Ya, I did notice that LOL.

[Shyguyx12]

I have 4 species of baboon spider and that one that kind of makes me nervous is the Togo starburst. I also have Kilomanjaro Mustard Baoon ( Pterinochilus chordatus ), 3 obts ( 1 adult female , 1 slightly larger sling, and 1 of my female's slings ), I also own 2 king baboons. Yeah, the togo is lightning fast.

[Jon3800]

@Shyguyx12

togos are scary, featherlegs are worse

[Shyguyx12]

@Jon3800 Dont' have any featherlegs and I don't know if I want too after listening to you. I think that is just as important as knowing what species to get.

[Jon3800]

@Shyguyx12

theyre similar to the togos but a tiny bit more aggro

[johnny197666]

thanks jon my first pokie Poecilotheria regalis is arriving today :) thanks for great advice

[thesunsetreptiles]

[alexmini123]

@Jon3800 have youe ver been bitten by a tarantula

[Jon3800]

@alexmini123

not yet

[alexmini123]

@Jon3800 when i went to pet ladn i got bitten by a chilean rosehair they let me handel it was a full grown female about 6 inches not too big i guess but it hurt like getting stab or pinched by a sewing needle

trust me its like a bee sting after the bite

[hurtztwopee]

I now have 8 t's(including a B. Sabulosum sling), i went from G. rosea to L. parahybana to H. Maculata to P. Pederseni to P. irminia to P. murinus to P. Ornata. I have learned a ton from your videos and your responses to my questions. You really helped me out on caring for slings and letting me know how feeding mice to ts can be bad. Thanks for the great videos.

[Jon3800]

@hurtztwopee

nice :)

[TheTarantulaMan]
