General Nhandu Species Caresheet video

[MrTarantula70]

Hi Jon thnx 4 reply. Yeah that's the onlt T i know that actually seems to LIKE water. Seen one catch a fish.

Dont know why my chromatus does it. Try and film it at some point.

Keep up the great uploads Jon. If you could do a feature on ur P.metallica, i'd appreciate it. Still haven't managed to get one in Uk yet. They sell so quickly.

Hi Jon

good vid. don't handle my chromatus or coloratovillosus. Both way too skittish.My chromatus dives into the waterbowl on occasion when disturbed. She actually submerges herself.3 inch juvi F. You see any T hide in water before? Out of my 80-odd T"s she is the only one that does it.

[Jon3800]

@MrTarantula70

the only T I've seen do this is Hysterocrates gigas. Rob made a video of his actually submersed in water

[tarantulaman1720]

you say 'dont even bother handling them' mine used to flick hairs alot but not now. it has never bit me ever. it goes into threat display but then runs away. all Ts are holdable, they've just gotta get used to it.

[Jon3800]

@tarantulaman1720

Specimens WILL vary in personality. I know it's something you're not going to like to hear, but tarantulas are cannot understand human interaction. They will never get used to be handled frequently...if anything it makes them more aggressive... That's what happened with G.pulchripes. I handled her very week, until she nearly bit me. Even the most docile species can surprise you. That is why I don't recommend handling any species especially ones where you play with fire

[tarantulaman1720]

@Jon3800 i see your point, trying to handle them could possible stress them out, but i aslo seem to have the most docile c.crawshayi, i can handle her whenever. as with all my T's, but i do see your point.

[Jon3800]

@tarantulaman1720

It doesn't only stresses them out, but it also puts both you and T in danger, the T from falling and you getting bitten (human instincts are drop something if it hurts). With Pelinobius muticus (C. crawshayi is no longer a valid latin name for the king baboon, it's been changed) you do have to be aware the venom is medically significant. Rather odd for them to be docile. I have 2.5'' female and is ill tempered.

Thanks for sharing I just purchased a N. Chromatus and a N. Vulpinus

[bubba7479]

Hey how you doing Jon I was just wondering how you Nhandu Tripeii (vulpinus) was going . My one has just shed for a third time with in a year and now measures from tip to tip 15.5cm (6") would you think that there is much more to go in growth terms she is a female and looking very gorgeous!

[Jon3800]

She's doing fine. Your's is full grown

[darklist]

love your video^^.. uhmm btw if i post some of my link picture here can u gues wat genre of my nandhu?

[Jon3800]

send me a pm with the links. Comments don't take URLs

[Jon3800]

but Nhandu should be pretty distinguishable.

There's about 4 I recall are in the hobby

The vulpinus - now tripepii, its the one that's all blonde in the video

The chromatus - this is the one that has a red abdomen and white stripes on its legs, it may have a tan or bluish black carapace

The caroponensis - Its a black T that's surrounded by red hair. Some speculate that it may be an Acanthoscurria sp

The coloratovillosus - has black and white legs.

[neufy123456]

Do Nhadus dislike moist substrate like G.Rosea too?

[Jon3800]

not so much

[neufy123456]

Thank you!!! This will be very helpful!!

[bubba7479]

Hi Jon How is your Nhandu Vulpinus doing mine has shed twice since I last spoke to you she's about 5" she's a year old now & romps around like she runs the show!! =)

[Jon3800]

[reptileboy777]

[Jon3800]

nope.  Its venom is mild, not deadly

[reptileboy777]

THANKS

[ReMoVeR69]

[bubba7479]

[Jon3800]

[Buzzgrower]

Hi really nice video, you know how big that male N. chromatus really is? Im asking cuz i think my chromatus probably is female=) Thanks!

[Jon3800]

[SmallArachnidBlogger]

It doesn't seem like Jon to say "Bitch"

[Jon3800]

How else I can I describe a T that kick hairs at me and throws threats at me everytime I open the cage

[SmallArachnidBlogger]

True sorry about that

[Jon3800]
