  • that was the coolest thing I've ever seen!

  • I love watching your videos I love how excited you get :) I have a question can Tarantulas hear? that may sound like a stupid question but I couldn't get over how calm she is...she is one beautiful creature :) keep up what you do I love watching your videos!!

  • I love how colourful she is. How many babies does a tarantula have from a Single lay and also is possible to breed tarantulas with different breeds or does it have to be the same breed of tarantula for the mating to be successful

  • What an amazing video. You did a good job on everything and grats on the spider babies! You should send it in somewhere. Let other people see this.

  • She's gorgeous, and so sweet with her eggsac.

  • Hey Tarantula guy, me and my boyfriend want a tarantula, I really like the colorings on this one you have. Is she a human friendly one? Because if so my boyfriend is going to by (along with me helping him) this type. And if this type isn't friendly, do you have any suggestions for human friendly types?

  • I hate spider's not tarantula's spiders are like black widows who are not smart and cannot be pets tarantulas can be pets and are human friendly .

  • How much are these t's. I live in england and have a chilli rose, and mexican red knee. Love my spiders. I have them in my office at work on my desk. I get to see them all day!

  • That is one beautiful spider!

  • the nicest looking spider with the best name. Metallica ftw!

  • boom lol

    

  • I want one of these to add to my tarantulas... Are they docile? Ive heard mixed answers about them.

  • Shes grown up so fastC':

  • She's so pretty!

  • I don't even like spiders, but I'm subbing to you just cus its so fun to watch your videos!!

  • thats a beautiful tarantula you have, thanks for shareing, also, the person asking what kind he should get, id advise to get a rose hair, they are best beginner spiders and are the most docile

  • @FurryboyAlpha I've heard otherwise, that they can be pretty mean sometimes, I've only had T for maybe 5 months now so not sure i can really recomend one, Mine seems really docile so far but it's still young only 3 inches it's a Chaco Golden Knee (Grammostola Pulchripes) but rob

  • @FurryboyAlpha *rob here could prob be more help

  • rob i was wondering, wat do you do after the tarantula has laid its eggs . do u just leave the eggs or incubate it or whatsoever. nid tips bro. was planning in breeding, still don't know wat to do after the tarantula lays its eggs. how many days do u incubate it? and for how long do you open the sac? hoping for your immediate reply!!!:) tnx!

  • @MrGuitarlover98 Leave it with the female for 30-40 days and then incubate the eggs. I wouldn't get a rosie...I ave NEVER seen a nice one. Get a B.smithi.

  • Man can your spider roll js for me?

  • hey Tarantula guy, I am started to get really interested in the idea of getting a pet tarantula I was wondering if you could give me a idea on: the perfered species of a human contact friendly spider for beginners, and the necessities like food plans and terrarium supply and what add ons and ecosystem it should represeant. I love your videos, thank you :)

  • @ADTRfan500 I would get either something in the Avicularia genus or brachypelma genus.

  • @ADTRfan500 i bet you made a decision by now but i would highly recommend a chaco golden knee, they get really big and very tame, i had one that got out and hid in my shoe and i almost crushed him putting it on and yet no bite

  • I agree. I have no interest in having pet spiders at all (im a bit timid when it comes to spiders, despite utmost respect for them) but if I were to have one of these gorgeous ones, I could probably sit upon days just watching and doting upon her.

  • that is one amazing spider you have there, fantastic.

  • i love this video :) 10/10 im curious, what type of turantula is she? because she is beautiful and im thinking about getting one :) :) :)

  • They're so cute and fluffy looking!

  • You know, I don't really care for spiders or care to ever ever, ever have one, but I CAN'T STOP WATCHING YOUR VIDS!!! They are incredibly entertaining and informational. Bravo TarantulaMan, Bravo.

  • i will buy one! or 3.

  • @hemenwayink1 i am a big fan

  • I always thought the eggs came from the way back of the abdomen, not... there. I don't know what to call that area XD I don't have much Tarantula knowledge, but I learned something from this!

    GREAT video, she is absolutely gorgeous!

  • hey man thats freaking awsome. thats the coolest thing i ever seen! but... do you think your wife is jealous? of the spider i mean. do u guys have any kids?

  • whats happening at 06:30 ?????

  • Hey tarantula guy do you have a website?

  • @bobby4wd robc(DOT)arachnophiles(DOT)com­

  • im not a fan of spiders but i find them interesting, when she was wrapping, i felt intrigued by it, it seems like she has a fantastic concept of peeling like humans do almost, like holding down excess you dont want and pull what u want, i dunno how to explain it but it fascinated me, but almost seems like the spider understands simple physics

  • how long do you wait to check the egg after she lays it?

  • @XxRebornBamfxX I open the sac at day 25-30 depending....

  • She is very beautiful and this is amazing to see her lay the eggs. It was so clear. Wonderful. Thanks for this! I just can't believe how blue she is. I mean I am not 100% huge fan of spiders (I prefer T's to other spiders and would love to get a Mexican Red Knee as my first!!

    ) but she is outstanding!!!!

  • Hey Rob I cant get over the colour's on this T!! plus your camera must be awsome man its very clear video!! thanks for this one!

  • How do you know how big to make the hide for the T? Been wondering for mine.

  • That was totally amazing.. I am getting back into the spider collecting business after a 5 year break.. I miss them big time but landlords are fussy ppl.. lol my new ones are gonna be a redknee and a Brazilian Salmon Pink... I never had any arboraels (sp) but after I get used to these guys I may change that.. thanks for these vids... :)

  • I named my Lampropelma violaceopes Sapphire!!!!! :")

  • Hey Rob. Gonna be breeding P. Met in the spring. I saw your post about Pokie breeding on Arachnophiles but i was wondering if you had any extra tips/secrets for success lol? Like, is evening breeding always the best idea?or does early dawn also work? Do you reduce the temp of the room/heavily spray the tank beforehand? If so, weeks before?couple of months? Any other info you can think of would be like gold dust in my hand and really appreciated. Cheers.

  • @judomouse I have 2 very gravid females that are refusing to lay, trtying out differen't temps to get them to lay! I believe cooler temps are the way to go....I have had a VERY experienced breeder tell me this also!

  • @tarantulaguy1976

    Cool thats what i thought. It always seems that if the species of T you are breeding encounters relatively cool temperatures in the wild then then that is the way to go when pairing them up. I guess its because in the wild they would naturally breed after winter when spring finally arrives???

  • @judomouse YEP!! and lay in summer so you would think they would like it warm, but some say keep them cool.

  • @tarantulaguy1976

    Sweet. Well, good luck with your two females and cheers for the replies.

    :¬D

  • @judomouse my p. subfusca laid this morning, wasnt expecting a sac from her, thought she was preparing to moult. i diddnt do anything special to be honest, just a constant temperature (just above room temp) i misted heavily before intro of the male, that stayed moist up until today when she laid. the settings for my heater went wrong the other day and it been slightly cooler the past few days, dont know if that prompted it. i just keep it constantly warm and humid. hope that helps.

  • These and H.lividum are two gr8 ass bleu looking f*ckers! ^^

  • lol you posted this twice. the other one was 'p. metallica laying her eggs' and it was just her laying eggs. LOL i thought it looked familiar...

  • boring?  poor video quality? not a chance. beautiful girl doin her thing

  • Hermoso color azul!

    I love tarantulas, thanks for the videos

    saludos desde Chile !

  • This is some sick (excellent) footage here! You lucky bastard you. LOL It almost looks like your camera has you close enough to get hit. Zoom skills. And this Pokie is beautiful by the way.

  • Ha, you are well lucky to have caught her in the act. I know what you feel, i always watch my smithi molt (and i have her molts since she was a 1/4 inch tiny spiderling, 7 years old). Absolutely stunning spider as well. Keep that camera rolling!

  • @terantulaboy156  Maybe KenTheBugGuy

  • @terantulaboy156
