Holding my Goliath

[TripTheBattleship]

has this guy ever bitten you?

[paperdollmachette]

Do they get used to you though? Like an ordinary pet would. Or are they kinda pointless, like goldfish.

[supersaiyanMK2]

its not that big

[kathybaca]

I'm sorry died.

[FLguyGB]

Tarantulas make such awesome pets. I had one that I got when I was eight years old, and she used to chill on me (shoulder, neck, head, shirt...wherever) while I watched cartoons. I'd have to rinse the hairs off after, but totally worth it. She died last year at 22 years old.

[devlc93]

A stoner who likes tarantulas? WIN.

[Paradadro]

what brand of toster did you use to record this

[phonkbata245]

wow that guy is awesome huge to

[VernandBubbles]

OH HELL NO. CAPS LOCK. UNLEASH THE MOTHER FING FURY.

thats. one. giant. spider.

I think I need to go vomit.

[AblonPahdellaJaherst]

you look like some one who'd own a spider. .. then again, you also look like someone who tucks there junk between there legs and wears make-up. ;)

[MattLikesToComment]

You almost got TARANTULA'D!!!!

[jasmmmm]

Which pixel is the tarantula?

[vjamesd]

DAMN YOU GOT SOME BAWLZ

[Makzimiser]

RECORDED WITH A POTATO

[AngryPigFetus]

This is going to sound like a really dumb question, but if you were to tense up while holding them could they actually feel it and would that tense them up as well?

[Beasile]

@AngryPigFetus

yes the tarantula will sense you tensing up...and it will probably cause it to tense up also.

[longtail4711]

Beautiful! I hope to get a Goliath for my next spider. I can never hold my spiders though because my hands shake all the time and I'm scared of dropping them. :(

[johnplayersstandard]

(That's what she said)

[SKKiller13]

Damn, I just read that he had already passed. :( Sorry hon

[SKKiller13]

I think he's a beautiful little guy. Please post more videos as he gets older & when he's full grown. To all of those who think he's fake - GOOGLE IT! The Goliath Birdeater Spiders are the largest in the world (by mass). If you don't know what you're talking about, then keep it to yourself.

[MsChocohalic]

ewwwww. i have a huge phobia of spiders and i would never dare to have one as a pet! You are freakishly brave.

[PUNISHALL666]

Oh my god I would have a stroke if it came even a foot from me

[doughboymusictv]

u look like u have problems

[kawaiikes]

Aww, he was very good-looking. If he was a male, though, it makes sense he died. Seems like he had a pretty good temperament, I'm sure he had a good life with you.

[Pilot9r]

hello, my gf and I just bought ourselves tarantulas today on a whim. She bought a pink toe and i bought a salmon pink bird eater. The guy in the store said they are super easy to keep but im a bit nervous about the temperature. Temps are in the mid to upper 60's in our house during the winter, and how much of a problem is hte humidity? The tanks have a paper towel in them that is used to provide humidity by keeping it moist. How often do i need to soak that? Should I mist them often?

[Beasile]

@Pilot9r

I would mist the tank no less than once every 2 days. Also if your temp in your house is in the 60's then you should also get a heat lamp. Both of those species are tropical, so you want to try to keep it warm and moist. Get a humidity gauge and a thermometer. BTW, you will want to clean the tank about once a week to avoid mold.

[tomyvillacorta]

clean your roomm got damnn it :)!

[alwayzsure]

Ah, 240p, we meet again.

[Bnick2009]

He picked it up with card board n let it walk on his arm because he was too scared to handle her haha

[gsehtrerhrshntre]

This video was filmed with a toaster.

[SuperGamer44356]

Thats a beautiful spider. I'm more of a scorpion kind of guy myself, but I know a beautiful specimen when I see one.

[sketchturner88]

[huyhuy14]

[annettebutler88]

[3EBalways]

[MultiEmik]

FUFUUFF mAZA FUCKAD:::D:D

[lungfixer]

[TaZeTrusted]

@enterBJ40 just don't make any quick sudden movements or they will attack :)

[TaZeTrusted]

@enterBJ4 just make sudden movements when handling them ok

[enterBJ40]

i heard they have really bad temper and agresevelly sensitve ( tendency to attack any fucking shit that sounds or move or what ever)

how you do keep em "calm"?

[theshadowpkr]

Quick question, how many times did you shit your pants while holding it? I shit my pants atleast 20 just by watching.

[jimjami0]

[frozencloud17]

[000000poizen000000]

[16nwb1]

@Beasile

looks real enough to me lolz sorry spiders creep me out but at the same time im facinated by them lol

[110teamedward]

i am terrified of spiders but how does tht look fake it has hair and clearly it doesnt look like rubber or plasticc

[gansterlicous]

well it the name is why it died early.

[sheenacamp]

I think people said it was fake due to the quality of the camera. I've noticed though, that, on the internet, people will say anything; even if it's taboo. They'll do it so always prepare to expect the idiots.

[tisslebug]

Their names were Cynric & Jem lol

[tisslebug]

in an effort to make me "get over" my nearly crippling fear of spiders, my father gave me two of them when I was younger. a Pampho Nigricolor (i think was the name of it) he had purples, blues and was actually amazing to look at. And a pink tarantula. The real name escapes me at the moment. I had them both for just over 3 years. I came home from school & they were both dead. My parents said our Akita knocked the tanks over. I think my brothers did it.

[Scumdog416]

What a beautiful species.

[hhds113]

Sorry to hear about your spider died. How old was he? In fact how old do they usually get?

[Beasile]

@hhds113

he was a little over 2 years old when he died.

males live for about 2 years, females live about 9 to 10 years

[WisdomInHeresy]

@Beasile i can imagine the females are even bigger than your buddy there

[lb4liife]

@Beasile um males live around 15 to 20 years and females up to 30 years. lol the males don't live for 2 years lol. that blows your goliath died at the age of 2. my friend has a male and its 14 years old right now

[lb4liife]

@Beasile excuse me, my friends goliath is 14 years old and is a female not a male but if you do some research you will see that males die a little while after they fully mature around 4 or 5 years. meaning they die around 6-8 years.

[SpinninTom]

@Beasile females live for about 20, males anything from as soon as they mature, at about 2-3 to about 6

[Kenshin8080]

@Beasile whats with the 2 years for males and 9-10 for females thats a bit strnage

[killerslayer543]

@Beasile Goliath Bird Eating spiders live up to 35 years... lol :D... crap.. that wasnt ment to be harsh...

[tickyul]

@Beasile Please be careful holding that spider, it strongly resembles an attacking/biting type animal.

[SSJ3Goku2000]

@Beasile tthats not fair

[tonyfang888]

@Beasile Wait... wait... i thought female goliaths COULD live up to 20 yrs. am i wrong?

[catnip503]

@Beasile Correction. Males usually live to be about 6 years old. They mature at 3 years. Female tend to live about 25 to 30 years.

[catnip503]

@catnip503 Edit: females

[DavidEasthope]

That was a gorgeous spider you had there. Sorry to hear he died.

Also, I think people need to clue in and read up on Goliath Bird-Eaters. They are VERY stationary creatures. They can sit in an almost completely paralyzed state for up to weeks waiting for prey to walk nearby. The spider in this video is perfectly real.

[DannyBoy8792]

This bossman spider, Got 5 health bars D;

[kuntrevolution]

this thing is fake and your a pussy faggot bitch

[PrinceCharming25]

Theraposa Blondi isn't it? Arent they like, very agressive?

[Torn80cj]

@PrinceCharming25 Depends on the spider. I have seen aggressive and non agressive when it comes to blondes. I even found a vid of someone handling an orange baboon, and they are considered as very aggressive. But this guy's spider appears to be pretty docile. Spiders can have different personalities, same thing goes for jumping spiders, some are skittish as ever, and some will just jump or crawl right up on my hand without being afraid.

[mordmil10]

i think he could cover my entire face.NO OFFENSE TO THE SPIDER OR YOU!just saying he's HUGE!

[mufasabich]

hes really beautiful (: i had a rosey hair trantula her name was star

[sam9m]

fake

[jburm0305]

Arnt goliath's suppose to be super agrresive and stuff.. like just about bite everytime you try to handle it?

[ryinax]

@jburm0305 Goliath aint that bad really,the King Kenya is prolly the worst cept for the cobalt....atleast thats my expirience.

[linaarosen]

So fucking beautiful!

[DrKnow417]

I hold my goliath every time I take a leak.

[RunningWildVidya]

Nice. Did you make him out of plastic?

[officiallyrics95]

@RunningWildVidya read the description idiot

[RunningWildVidya]

@officiallyrics95 It's a joke. Retard.

[officiallyrics95]

@RunningWildVidya wow, thats funny

[PermanentCurse]

Well, you can't really tell if it is fake or not, but from the color of it, it is a very bright and beautiful spider. Maybe it is just a little nervous and doesn't want to move.

[LawrenceXVIV]

To All Fakers... You Should Go For Eye Test...

[SpiderShane1]

Also, I've never heard of a 12" Theraphosa, or any T for that matter. 8-9 inches is more realisitic, possibly 10". I've heard of very old females hitting near the 11" mark, but that is pretty rare.

[SpiderShane1]

ITCHY!!!

[saucymonkey1]

brave man i wouldnt even think about holding my goliath

[saucymonkey1]

your braver than me i would not even dream of holding mine ive seen its fangs

[V3NoMxDaPoiiZ0N]

nice fkkn aracnid bro and dont bother deleting ppls comments sayin its fake let ppl think wat they want its obviously real so fukk em

[Beasile]

@V3NoMxDaPoiiZ0N

I remove them because i think the people saying its fake are just trying to get attention or are trying to start shit...and I simply dont want to deal with them.

[kkmiguel18]

awesome!

[MegaShadow38]

hey thats awesome spiders are coool and i think u all that say thats fake need to take another look at the spider thats not fake

[tiggerey12]

HOLY SHIT, GET A SHOTGUN !!!

[pein99g]

nice i had a red haired tarantula i wish it was still alive i had it for 7 or 10 years they make good pets

[bentancort]

Es tu novia?

[teflontiger]

i got a pink toe tarantula she is cool n easy 2 handle,did ur tarantula ever try 2 bite u???

[ilovemycatfred]

holy cra* thats huge

[6starman77]

That's a beautiful creature, I'd be more worried about the itchy hairs than bieng bitten though, proves that they are not things to be scared of like hollywood has you believe.

[PureOakley01]

Nice Goliath...shame he died :( please check out my videos of mr holding my mature male Goliath :)

[silllywabbit]

For all of you retards that think this is fake its not. If you need more proof click the annotation at the bottom of the video and stop bitchin

[parkerchillin3]

kill it !!

[milltiaryman001]

im 14 and scared shitless of spiders if i saw thet in my room i would have a panic attack

[xb70prince]

Is this a t blondi? Are you sure it's a good idea to have a t blondi out with a room that messy? I mean honestly..it's almost as bad as my room. When I get my b smithi sling or my avic avic out..I'm always afraid I'll lose them.

[Lonedracowolf28]

Color of your shirt makes it hard to get a good picture of the spider mate.

[TheTokyoFunk]

Awesome Spider man. I love the Red Knee Tarantulas the most, but Goliaths are just so big I can't help but love them also.

[SuperReptilekid]

if you want to prove its real make it move so people want give you bad coments saying its fake. I know its real but not every one believes you.

[Beasile]

@SuperReptilekid

WTF...Dose anyone read or click on the annotation that's at the bottom of the video? It shows him moving around in the tank as I pick him up.

[madel09]

@SuperReptilekid it does move!

[jedihunter176]

CLEAN YO ROOM

[Shinykangaroo]

Well, i keep mine up my ass. It really enjoys it there but it gets a bit smelly though when i pet it, wich can be bad if i wanna kiss it.

[Fearkkzz]

@Shinykangaroo

terrible joke if anything at all.

[nanimaki]

haha /I had a tarantula that I took to my school with me because no body would be around to take care of him at home; he sat on my desk during most of my period and did not move at all unless some dumb class mate hit my desk or something of the sort. Anyway cool spider wish mine were this big and colourful

[funinurmouth]

Hollllyyy shiiiitttttt. .... Ur room dirty

[PiercedPunk333]

To all of yous that think this is fake go get a fucking book and look at the pics of the goliath tarantula thats what they are and the average size ones are the size of dinner plates I LOVE YOUR spider buddy!!!!!

[THECOMMITTEEMG]

GOLIATH T'S FREAK ME OUT THEY ARE WAY TO BIG!!!!

[sailman10]

OMGZZZZ IZZZ SO FAIXS!!!!!!!!

[Gizmogirl192]

You might want to clean up your place...or at least straighten up and put your clothes in a hamper...; )
