Reptiles, Amphibians, Invertebrates & Small Pets : Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula Facts

[Tandereeno]

mexican redknee, or chilean rose as my first spider anyone?

[AnonymousX117X]

I hate spiders

[djpatt81]

i have a chilean rose hair its my first spider. 

[sexxykelly]

i named my trualantula mr hyde

[TJ7845]

I LOVE MY TARANTULA HES SPIKY

[Weaponsman1]

i felt like he was abusing the tarantula

[SpinninTom]

expertvillage- i would suggest getting some actual experts to come live in your village.

[Rainforest212]

that man is stupid never put your hand in the tank when you put food in the terrarium

[zookeeper2345]

If the tarantulas developed before the True Spiders, shouldn't THEY be the true spiders???

[clubpengui1n]

mine died idk why i feed it ladt night

[0303halo]

dude stop grabbing the tarantula. it gives them stress

[Rosehairking56]

should i keep my light on my rose hair ....people say it drys them out ...i also switch out a red light and a white light every 12 hrs....the red light is for night so he can relax.....does that help or does it not really matter...and what should the hunidity level be in his tank?

[SpinninTom]

@Rosehairking56 don't light the tank at all.. spiders try to avoid any direct light. i suggest investing in a heat mat, that covers 1/3 of the viv :)

[zarrurer12]

@Suidakkra first off you stupid fuck, i was always taught they were venomus, second your the fucken twat, and third im not fucken trolling retard. read before you fucken respond faggot.

[Suidakkra]

@zarrurer12 Before you call someone stupid, sparky, let's go through some basic's. You are suppose to use the contraction of you are, which is you're, not your, your is a pronoun. Also fucken, is spelled fucking, again showing your lack of intelligence and laziness. Now enjoy your (the correct way of using your) evening and try not to blow a blood vessel when someone you do not know comments on the internet, it's rather unhealthy, and quite disturbing actually.

[zarrurer12]

@Suidakkra lol ficken nerd stfu.

[7am35]

wasteman...

[Cinek504]

Fatigue spider!

[The40Kwarrior]

I have kept a lot of Tarantulas in my time, and i'm hoping that the tank in this vid is just for video purposes and not keeping the animal in. As others have said height is not important to these Tarantulas, an adult Chilean should be able to reach the top with its front legs whilst still having its hind legs firmly on the tank substrate. I find a tank of no more than 6" in height and a base size of about A4 paper size perfect, but really no higher than 8".

[dashina17]

do you freakin think it is right to pull the web out of the abdomen!!!!>:(

[gr4ndhustle]

@dashina17 i was thinking the exact same thing.. i mean... i'm pretty sure it doesn't hurt.. but i can imagine it being kinda annoying for the spider.. how would you like it if someone pulled a feather sticking out of you're coat? you wouldn't get mad but i would assume you would be slightly irritated xD

[TheREPTILEKID13]

when they bite can they kill you cuz i want a rose hair

[MrRavekid]

@TheREPTILEKID13 No. it's like a bee sting if even that. it can only be harmfull if ur effected by bee stings and other insect nips.

[zarrurer12]

@MrRavekid so your saying their venom will have no effect on humans? i find that hard to believe...

[dreamera1]

I almost accidently killed my friends rose hair.. >.>

[Freddyfan357]

fix the video and learn more about tarantulas. this man has no clue!!!!!!!!!!

[RaDiUx44]

actually females are pink to. I have a female and she is purple and pink.

[dhump132]

i used to have one of these little guys their one of the calmest spiders out there

[zarrurer12]

@toad773 lets just put it this way: i hate spiders, their freaky looking, and id NEVER hold one. ok?

[zarrurer12]

@toad773 you shut the fuck up dude. a bird eating spider is considered a taranchula. you need to get your facts right before you post dumbass.also a bird eating spider is a part of the taranchula family. moron.

[xXgrindcoreluverXx]

@zarrurer12 I have a rose hair and i pick her up as well. Shes far more docile than my other tarantulas. Holding them isnt scary at all. And they dont bite you when you hold them

[mithralova]

dont those things shoot hairs....

[Destructo070792]

yeah he said they fick them with their back legs. they are really itchy i think

[toad773]

@zarrurer12 are you stupid those tarantula don't bite and if they do its not a big deal I have 1 and I hold it all the time

[zarrurer12]

@toad773 im not stupid. i no that taranchulas are venomus and they have BIG fangs. id NEVER in my life hold 1 of those things. and what do you mean "its not a big deal if they bite you" dude their venomus! plus i bet their hard to take care of...

[toad773]

very easy to care for and there venom is not lethal no tarantulas venom will kill you and a rose hairs venom is not very strong I have been bit by one while holding it at the pet store though it was painful it wasn't a big deal

[zarrurer12]

@toad773 "no taranchulas venom is lethal" umm dude u must not be reading books and listening to things properly. some taranchulas can kill you. and i would never hold a taranchula...they creep me the hell out.... lol

[toad773]

@zarrurer12 no no tarantula are lethal people just think cause they are big they are dangerous when really it is the smaller spiders that can kill you

[zarrurer12]

@toad773 bs. even man vs wild said so. taranchulas are venomus and deadly.get bit by a bird eating spider or a taranchula and c if u live.

[cheeriocheerios]

@zarrurer12 It's a chilean rose hair tarantula, the bite is usually not anyworse than bee sting...if they bite!

[spec01]

@zarrurer12: Very very very few tarantulas are venomous to humans. The most famous deadly one is Atrax robustus... the funnel web from Sydney, Australia but even then you'd live with anti-venom. A bite from say a theraphosa blondi or theraphosa apophysis or a lasiodora parayhbana... three very big Ts and the most common bird eaters, would not kill you unless you were allergic to their venom and didn't have an epi-pen within 20 minutes of your person just like someone allergic to a bee sting.

[BooshgaFilms]

@spec01

true bro

saying tarantulas are dangerous would be like saying peanuts should be avoided at all cost.

they can only harm you if you have an allergy to the venom

[theunborn89]

They bite. They'e best known for their modd swings. One day it could be all nice and gentle, the next it could be agressive or defensive.

[raptorbullets]

except the milk snake one, he had good information... except he didn't know that what he thought was a pueblan milk snake was actually a nelsons milk snake...

[PunkRose075]

what size tank is that?

[captainhiroshi]

he`s not scared at all!!!

[maplemanor]

This guy know nothing about the providing the proper habitat for the rose hair. Length in more important for this speices, than height. If this spider were the scale the walls of this aquarium and fall from the top..he/che would surely burst their abdomen, which would be fatal. This tank needs to be put on it' side and the top sealed in some manner..I hope no one follows the advice of this nerd

[ollythrughost]

phew thanks alot man,you just saved about 2000+ chilli rose tarantulas =]

thanx

[maplemanor]

thank you for your comment!..I learned what I know from having T's myself, reading alot and some excellent sites that I found on the net...this dude is a joke and a disgrace to the Red hairs...I am embarrassed for him

[raptorbullets]

@maplemanor see i will get this chilean rose haired tarantula, and if what you say is true then fuck, that man!!!!

[maplemanor]

@raptorbullets what I say is true..the dude is an idiot..this video should be pulled off the net so people don't follow his lame advice and end up with a finding their T with a busted abdomen lying crinkled at the bottom of an aquarium . I have mine in a shallow, plastic container 18"length x 10 width x 6 inches high..I use a combination of Repti-bark and coconut fiber as her bedding..about 2 inches deep..one end I keep humid, the other end dry..Good luck with your T!

[raptorbullets]

ok, and thanks.

[mrantis]

@maplemanor if length is more important than why would you turn the tank on its side? That doesnt make any sense. Your controdicting yourself

[maplemanor]

@mrantis I am not contradicting myself. If you take an aquarium, place it on it's side, obviously there will be more floor space than height (insert visual here). If a chillian, or any large abdomen T has a fall, it will bust it's abdomen and bleed to death. In that case you need to move it fast to an incubator (small dish with damp paper towels in it) and place the injured T in it and place the container in a dark place...this MAY help..but not always

[BooshgaFilms]

@maplemanor

i know what you mean about putting the tank on its side

length ways so its short and wide

the other guy must have thought you meant putting the tank on its side like you would do for an avic (so its tall with little ground space)

peace bro

[mrantis]

@maplemanor Ok let me get this straight before I comment again. Are you talking about putting the tank vertical (up and down) or horizontal

[maplemanor]

@mrantis horizontal. I have mine in a "critter keeper". It measures about 16x11x7 inches. That, imo, is the perfect size for a chillian. One end is the humid end, with her water dish and heat pad that I have stuck on the side of it and only use in the winter, the other end is where I have her hut, where she has made an awesome burrow right down the the bottom of the habitat.

Your local pet store will be able to help.

Forget Expert Village..they know jack

[BooshgaFilms]

@maplemanor

my B albopilosm seems to like climbing up the sie of her tank for some reason

she always falls off but she never injures herself

but what you are saying is right

G roseas preffer more ground space and should be kept in shallow but wide tanks

[maplemanor]

@BooshgaFilms

I have never heard of the B albopilosm tarantula before. I have only had two types of T's, a rose hair and a pink toe and before getting either one I did online research about the proper care of each.

My rule of thumb has always been the bigger the bum, the harder the fall (which means the T needs to be kept in a shallow container)

Aboreal T's are more streamlined and need to be kept in tall enclosers

[BooshgaFilms]

@maplemanor

the Brachypelma albopilosm is more commonly known as the curly hair

but i wouldnt trust any information on the species from myself

as my T is a bit crazy

curly hairs are supposed to burrow but mines likes to climb

and when its not wandering around its tank, its attacking its reflection

she's still young though

i guess she'll change as she reaches maturity

[maplemanor]

@BooshgaFilms

I looked up the curly hair T..what a gorgeous one! I feel like braiding her hair! LOL..Mine is pretty active at times. I made a video of her grooming herself (pretty wicked fang shots that I got too). She has made a deep burrow in her tank, I watched her kick up the coconut fibre into this mound..pretty neat to watch.

Old world species scare me though. I know of a guy that wants to sell me his starburst baboon T for 10$, but that is one that I will stay away from..

[BooshgaFilms]

@maplemanor

my curly hair used to burrow all the time

she just hides under her cork bark now

she's around 3.5 inches

and i got her as a 1cm spiderling for only 4 bucks

cant go wrong there

[maplemanor]

@BooshgaFilms Maybe she has gotten lazy since provided with a shelter..the work is already done for her..$4 for a sling is great! I paid $15 for mine..she was a resuse. Seems that some cool dude that had her, snagged himself a girl who was scared of the critter and he chose the chick over the spider (GASP)..She is full grown and I have yet to see a moult

[soymustache]

@maplemanor I use that tank and my tarantula fell when I first got him. He didn't burst his abdomen but if your spider DOES happen to injure its abdomen you can super glue it together (immediately!) and the next time it molts the wound will be gone. On a side note, I just very soft peat, about 2-3 inches of it to line the bottom of my cage.

[maplemanor]

@soymustache By the time that I had found her, it was too late, time was of the eccense, I knew. Her abdomen was beyond repair..Since then I have adopted another one, Cindy and she is massive. I bought her as an adult and she just had her first molt with me! Very well preserved too..I keep it in a shadowbox. Her home is layered with about 3 inches of coconut fibre then I scattered some repi- bark on top of it

A very good book is "The Tarantula Keepers Guide", A must for every T keeper!

[other100a]

cool! spiders rule!

[NakomaTauren]

I can only partially agree with your complaint, skateelement. :) When buying exotic pets, such as tarantulas, lizards, or scorpions, you need to do more research then just these silly videos. These are just suppose to be small bit of info to get you started, but if you want real information, I'd suggest to do some real research at a local library, or on the internet. Sorry to hear about your lizard though, sucks when pets die shortly after buying them.

[skateelement95]

ya right...some great peoples vids to watch that know alot about reptiles are cavajason, cornsnake33, catipillargirafe, octavion300, and tubbysnake, all are on my friends list :)

[cutebunnyification]

GOD HE IS A DICK

[MrRapper12345678910]

i have a question i have two lizards but they died could i keep this type of tarantula in it but im not sure if its to small cose the lizards were anoles???????????????

[TannerShow]

most grammostola's have "mood swings" which is why they aren't really considered beginner tarantulas.

[slyrez]

needs more stuff in his cage

[thebetterhaloplayer]

How can people touch them like that?

When I try to touch my Rosea it bites the hell out of my finger :S They say this specie is totally not agrassive but when I try to touch is with something it bites into the object.

[Locoman4000]

Grammostola rosea's are known for being individually different and having mood swings. Several people have had a spider that was docile the first years, then turned to a complete bitch. Lol it all comes down to the spider itself.

[officerrando9999]

he bites at u because u poke it with stuff

[woopaaaa]

It needs more substrate. Terrible tank setup.

[kbamch92]

the correct way to grab one is put ur hand in front of the creature and either 1 let it go on ur hand by itself or give it a lil pat on his butt and it will get on. Don't grab them like that.

[MetalMatze87]

this guy is a complete idiot! -.-

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

omg he is being so careless, grabbing it and thrusting his hands in there! :S I'm no expert, but even I know you don't pick it up with your fingers like an old sweet wrapper, you're supposed to let them walk on themselves

[arturconfituur]

dont act like this.

it's a tarantula, used to live in the RAINFOREST.

its a strong animal that can stand to be grabbed man...

[corpsemunger]

chilien rose tarantulas are desert animals

[arturconfituur]

lolz thats even tougher

[LGeckoProductions]

what happens if you stepped on that?

[lilconnor95]

It would bite ya fuckin leg off lol

not that i wud get within 100 feet of it

[nielsje123]

CRRRAAAAAACKK!

[ncfwhitetigress]

I think it would be more like CRRRRUUUNNNNNCCCCCCHHHHHHH!

[joscof]

ahh, just curious, when my male Rose Hair is about to molt, will i find and black spot where his abdomen begins? hes been kind of aggressive lately so i looked, and he has the black spot, and i looked it up online and thats what the site said i looked it up on. just asking for someone to confirm.

[Bonesawthemaster]

i named my rose hair cuddles

[SlatanicG0D]

My boys Rose hair"Betsy' loves to be held!

[XgamesRULE]

no it doesent holding them reduces there life span scares them

[SlatanicG0D]

Oh yeah it does..If its scared it it would hide or threat to attack..and for the lifespan..you need to know what your talking about kid!

[pieisgoodwithjam]

iVE got one of those a female called legs

[MikeIsEvil]

Great video! But wow, I love how you can just grab and pick yours up at the whim. I go near my Chilean Roses tank and he gets so aggressive, handling is out of the question. Lol. He was calm when I first got him, not anymore.

[paulfc06]

same with mine but the other i put my hand in and he let me hold him idk what it is but they can be aggressive lol

[bloodz4l519]

spiders r cool i want a mexican redknee but they r illegal in my county.

[TBofTexas]

is it true that black spot tarantula is gentler

[funfamily07]

no thats not true

[Tarantulust]

Representing G.Rosea! One problem though, don't try grabbing crickets with your hands because they bite as well. I don't handle my Rosie so the cricket bites are a bigger concern for me. Got me some tongs at the pet shop for feeding with.

[ShadowKaiserin]

I just got one yesterday. She's beautiful, her name is Charlotte.

[slyteliisykotic]

Can you handle her?

[anspaughnato]

no fair! i got the same tarantula today and named her Charlotte too!

haha =)

[wackooo123]

ive just got a chilean rose spiderling, and hes blocked the entrance to his burrow and hes inside it and hes been in there all day, does this meen hes going to molt or he is molting?

[xyouralivex]

hey......im looking for a tarantula but i dont know any websites that are reliable to buy them from......know any?

[EBEalienbeing]

I know LLL Reptile has great tarantulas for sale. Also Ken The Bug Guy has some cool spiders you can buy from him. I have bought stuff from both Ken and LLL and so far it has been good. I only had one animal die and that was a Tanzaian Millipede which they never really had before so it was a new pet theyt got at there store.

[xyouralivex]

oh damn.......yer i checked out ken he bug guy but they dont send to australia.........but im not sure bout LLL

i found out a place that sells tarantulas,scorpons, cenitepeds and milipedes........its called the green scorpion. i might buy one from there when i get the money hahahaha

[sio42]

ive got a chilean rose hair tarantula, ive had her for about a year now. her name is mary jane :) i used to be able to handle her, but now she doesnt like it.

[showtimeoooo]

stupid . . .

he scared tarantula, than he whants to feed she

[jerumd]

XD ROFL!! You failed to show us how it eats. XD LOL!! I hope you where not embarrassed at that time.

[Willisbob2]

poo face spiders eat their own crap-fact

[waiternwater]

im getting a chillean rose

for christmas

[DANGERSTEVEO]

i got a chilean rose the other week as an early christmas presant lol :)

[ZombieBrainsDev]

I love Rose hair Tarantulas, they're quite docile as you can see in the video, plus they creep the hell out of my friends xD
