  • get ur hand in there u pussy !

  • odds are if you pokie a spider way too much its gunna be pissed as fuck,.. good looking spider

  • who gives a fuck about poking the spider

    i poke my cat all the time

  • poor T...

  • WHY DO YOU KEEP ALL OF THESE TARANTULAS?!?! ones gonna bite you in your sleep ._.

  • Hey man, I'm not ragging on you for using the stick or anything, and I can appreciate your need to defend yourself from the majority of idiots on Youtube who think it's "animal abuse," or whatever... but come on, dude. Just leave it in the comments. No need to use captions in the video, it ruins it for the rest of us to have to read irrelevant comments instead of seeing the spider.

  • do both of your king baboons stridulate? they are definitely an intimidating species ... my hats off to ya

  • holy shit

  • Spider probaly think, why ya pokin me...Im trying to sleep here xD

  • you're an asshole ¬ ¬

  • whoa this is my first time watching your vids and i just want to say you have a very nice looking spider my friend!!! good job!!

  • thought you said NO  POKING

  • hi did you ever feed it pinkies and etc. because i own two king baboons and feed them both pinkies.

  • It's not like the tarantula is being stabbed, I even use a paintbrush to move my aggressive t's so the anger isn't taken out on a finger rather than an object. Granted this one is being moved a lot, it's not causing harm, and the tarantula gets over it. I bet if you ate the tarantula at the end of the video that would upset people, but damn, I gotta say you have a fine specimen there!

  • Ughh scary as hell aaaaaa shit i hate spiders!!!!! mmmmmm no problem poking at it torture the bastard...!

  • i would be pissed off if you broke my front porch every couple days too hahha

  • i dont see any problems at all nice looking t my friend

  • what is the largest african tarantula??

  • Also in response to your quote "They do that in those areas b/c they either need food or its sometimes a delicacy."

    That still does not make it ok, for food it is necessary but as a delicacy it is not necessity still they harm them far worse than someone simply tapping their T's legs to get it to come out.

    A technique for getting Tarantulas transferred between cages is to poke it's legs to goad it into a certain direction.. you just seem to be starting up over nothing thats all.

  • @Abomination5o2 Here in the the UK it is legal to buy cigarettes and alcohol at 18 legal age to have sex is 16.

    Most people here do those things before these age groups.. so they have nothing to do with being an adult, some people generally act more mature than others though at similar ages... 21 is legally an adult and 17 is a teen.

    I do not believe it was this guys intention to hurt his animals that is all I am saying you caused this arguement by telling me to F**k off scum bag remember?

  • @Abomination5o2 Well then you just answered your own comment, if THIS is the video we are having a 'debate' on and your saying he isnt doing it on this video there where is the point in your arguement this is the only video I have watched of his.

    Much more mature than me? really? and I quote: "@whiteyr44 fuck you scumbag are YOU retarded? tarantulas feel no pain HA! i laugh at you. and second buddy, im not a kid. "

    Yea that has to be the one of the most mature comments I have seen lmao.

  • @whiteyr44 BTW if YOU did your research you would know that Inverts arent complex enough creatures to feel pain.

    Look into it a little reading might do you good.

    I am not some adult I am 22 years old but I think this qualifies me as an adult whereas you are still a kid.

  • @Abomination5o2 I Have seen you in your video you are 17, YOU ARE A KID.

    Firstly Tarantulas DO NOT feel pain in the sense that we Humans do, they are aware if they have been bitten or attacked but prodding the spider is just going to irritate it, nothing more.. they have developed defensive responses to deal with these kinds of stressors.

    Secondly if your gonna go and cuss me out with immaturity this shows me that you are most definetly not a mature person.

    P.S - i'm not your buddy.

  • @whiteyr44 I have been keeping Tarantulas & other inverts FAR longer than you and have way more experience in the field.

    There are many things done incorrectly in the hobby, what this guy is doing is not that big a deal.

    He if just showing us his Tarantula.

  • @Abomination5o2 If you are comparing Arachnids to Mammals you must be insane.. this kind of anthropomorphism makes people like you seem like retards.

    Tarantulas feel no pain.

    Kids on Youtube these days...

  • you shouldnt abuse it like that... does your mum drag you out of your room everytime you try and walk in.

  • i've kept tarantulas for years & know alot of breeders & fancyers alike, but this TWAT knows fuck all about keeping spiders, only taunting them.

  • Everyone calling this mean, Indians that hunt Goliath Tarantulas poke them with a stick to lure them out then pin them down with their bare hands then proceed to cook and eat them.

    Whats so mean about this again?

  • Dude your T's are epic. keep the poking up!! woot woot!

  • maldito hijo de puta deja a la araña trankila desgraciado

  • cool tarantula

  • You really don't give a shit about the spider. Just shine a light into the hole so we can look. You don't have to POKE it!

  • gross.....

  • nice hissing brat spider

  • This is AWESOME! Are these 'pets' that you keep in your house? They'd be so interesting to watch!

  • you enjoy pissing off your tarantula good for you!

  • How poisonous is this spider if you handle it? Looks quite like a baddie lol

  • So while ill say that pokin her does look mean my concern is... are the walls of that container tall enough i mean that is a big spider and it looks like the rock is almost as tall as the walls and is pretty close to them.

  • @Priest007 no worries there. this spiders digs down into a burrow.. so that hide is deeper then it looks..

  • @Priest007 All experienced Tarantula keepers know that terrestrial species should NOT be housed in tall containers/vivariums where they could fall even a foot and burst open their abdomens, which ends up killing them, I have even had an arboreal jumper drop a couple of feet and die.

  • you sure love your tarantulas

  • can you handle her

  • @MrBunnyrabits  sometimes

  • The one thing gets me about spiders. They have arses for mouths. Think of it, they have a but shaped mouth parts and a little gob behind them. And it's not pretty when you see these little mouths hissing at you.

  • shut the fuck up... all of u...

  • Not what I would like to keep as a pet but she is very beautiful

  • man there pretty were do u get em or can you bread them! dude thats assume tho they are very homish lol

  • Would she bite you if you tried to pick her up?

  • I liked seeing the tarantula that you have. Too bad you had to go to such lengths in order to get her out in the light. She must be camera shy. I have a question. I would like to own a tarantula, but I want something more docile then the OBT, or King B as some call it. Are there any genious that you would suggest for a beginner owner. Any tips you could share?

  • leave it alone, if the spider had a voice it would tell you to FUCK OFF

  • Why do you say king baboon? Common names sucks imo.

  • its so beautiful :P

  • don´t be so rude on that beauty... if she dont want come out try it on the next day... but but pull her out... you shure could have hurt the lady.. lucky she isnt hurt... btw. you have no idea about tarantulas, the terra is way to small 4 her.. i feel sorry 4 your poor spiders...

  • She is beautiful, I own a rose hair, a pinktoe, and a golden knee tarantula. I would love to get one of yours but I could never get one I couldn't handle! Freaky, but so beautiful <3

  • cool critter. very colorfull

  • amazing tarantula you got there. i was just wondering, how do you clean the tank? how often do you clean the tank? and like obviuosly you dont pick it up with your hands so what do you do? im very close to buying a rose hair and those ones you can handle so im just gonna take myn out and clean the tank, so i was just wondering how you do it with a mean tarantula.

  • i hope your tarantula eats u

  • Anybody who comments on videos like this saying that this is tarantula abuse obviously knows absolutely nothing about tarantulas. Curb your opinion. Seriously, go watch something else on YouTube, there's plenty more videos if this isn't for you.

  • @ da0867 well thanks alot captain not-so obvious you sure taught us all a lesson by your very thought out opinion.. hell perhaps you could also explain to us how this is NOT abuse.. let me give you a pointer, if you do ANYTHING against the animals will it is abuse. The tarantula clearly wants to stay in it's burrow and this fella tries to coax her out of there over and over.. the tarantula decides what to do, rather than you decide for the tarantula.... almost considered rape, think about it.

  • Well, captain PETA for tarantulas, I don't think I'm going to humor you. Sorry, pal.

  • @gr4ndhustle Wow. Um, yeah just wow. You're an idiot. My dog wants to sit in the rain all day, so I should just leave her out there, huh? It would be abuse to not let her play in the road if that is also what she wants to do. How about I let my snake go ahead and hide in the couch since that's what it wants to do? Get a brain you freakin PETA freak!!!

  • @hethyrizbrokyn hey dumbo... i was tarantula specific... and those rules do apply to tarantulas believe it or not. You are the idiot here my friend, don't assume something i never meant.

  • @gr4ndhustle I can't even try to argue with a dork like you.  So won't even try.

  • @hethyrizbrokyn that's because you just realized your arguments didn't make sense..

  • @hethyrizbrokyn and before you say anything use common sense. (the tarantula is not suppose to roam your house if it wants to, so spare me those bullshit comments)

  • Dude I love all the people saying this is abuse, he is not skewering the spider on a shish kabob. Hey Mjellyg, do u think a tarantula like yours is a match against a camel spider, say if they went at it. I have seen alot of vids of camel spiders and emperor scorpians, and it usually ends up 50/50, it all depends on the size of both animals. What do u think, is ur tarantula a beast?

  • Whilst i realise you arnt harming the T you sure as hell aint showing it any respect are you? Did it never occur to you to just make a video when she wanders out on her own????

    And no, i couldnt give a fuck about PETA

  • wow she is beautiful!!! have you ever held the king baboon, or are they to agressive?

  • They are very aggresive and you should not handle them.

  • gotto love the king i want 1 lol cool video

  • nice how old is she? they take years to reach maturity dont they, i dont have the patients, i always end up buying adults

  • wow looks mean. Im thinking about getting one tomorrow, I have never had one. I thought that i would start with a rose hair, anyone have any advice for me?

  • Poor spider, poor spider, poor spider!Stupid owner!

  • poor spider!!!

  • Shes a fiesty little one lol. beautiful creatures.

  • fly ass T people need to sit back and realize yea its an animal but look at the people with kids and poke them and do negative things to them were are all the people at when that is happaning.. makes u think were are prioritys are at.

  • Yo are a idiot!!!

  • @mormaiquel you cant spell.. Yo are idiot to.

  • Gorgeous species but they do have a bit of an attitude to them dont they lol

  • Gotta love all the PETA-esque morons flipping out and wishing harm on someone over poking a stick near an animal with no emotions or feelings. I wonder if they weep when they see someone stepping on grass or eating a burger.

    If its cruel to poke a stick in its den to get a short Youtube video, then shouldn't it be cruel to even own a spider? Afterall you "stress it out" everytime you open the lid to its cage to do maintenance/feed it. Oh the cruelty of it all. :'(

  • lol.. love it.. you have the same point of view i do..!!!!

  • peta is a bunch of retards

  • @Fleefles prove me that it has no feelings

  • @Fleefles I couldn't agree more with this comment, people on the internet say all kinds of stupid shit without thinking through their actions first.

    We butcher all kinds of animals for our food and put them through grotesque hormone injections to ensure that we get the 'best' quality meat.

    I just came on this video with the simple intention of checking out someones beautiful Tarantula not to get into some stupid PETA-esque arguement that means nothing.

  • If you want to show your T off to the world wait for it to come out when it's good and ready. Your stressing that Spider out and it's no wonder people are leaving you negative comments.

  • Man you really are kinda thick and ignorant huh? Considering that majority of these comments are from people that I take it would love to poke you with a real hot stick how do you sell any T's? Want to come over and try and poke my P. ornata? Dont have any coat hangers but Ill give you a toothpick. Actually you know what Ill pay you to poke her with a toothpick! Thanks for showing the world how not to care for a tarantula dude..

  • lol! i love all my fans

  • its really fun to see such a moronic man gets aggressive :-)))

    hey antihero, he is not ignorant, hes just dumb.

  • Curie78 I LOVE ALL MY FANS..thanks for watching...

  • DAMN! I think i cant touch any spider, but i'm really interested to them ( if they are in terrarium of course! xD ) I really like your "Baby-spider"! Say big HELLO from Europe!

  • bethany, you are a fucking douche bag. he isnt doing that to show how cool he is, which he is, he is trying to show you morons what it looks like fully. you all dont really deserve to know.

  • Comment removed

  • should squash the kunt

  • You obviously have no idea how to respect and honor any species of tarantula. Anyone can see that she didn't want to come out, yet you continued to pester and annoy her just so everyone could see how "cool" you are for having a pet tarantula...which you don't deserve by the way. The karma train is definitely comin for you. I hope you get bit very very soon and maybe your perspective just might change. Pathetic.

  • are you like dumb??? you dont poke and pester a huge kingbaboon!!!! dude!!! there bite is bad ass!

  • lol @ epic pet ownership fail, oh so true

  • Unfortunately and obviously you don't have to pass an IQ test to own a pet tarantula.

  • unfortunately , We can't keep idiots like you from sharing there thoughts.!!!!

  • U MAD BRO? You're incompetent and I wouldn't trust you with a handheld digi-pet let alone a marvelous creature such as a Tarantula.

  • lol......block!

  • @mjellyg ... The only idiot I see here is you. Prodding the sh out of the spider who obviously is stressed out to the max. "I don't need your negative comments on what I do"... Here's a thought jackass, don't post them on the "world wide web"... EPIC PET OWNERSHIP FAIL

  • thats a big as spider...lol

  • I noticed that you don't like negative comments, but seriously, dude... you obviously understand that she doesn't wanna come out of the hole. SO FILM SOME OTHER TIME WHEN SHE'S MORE WILLING TO COME OUT. If she were to suddenly grow to giant size, I'm sure she'd be GLAD to eat you.

  • ' IM NOT INTO HURTING MY TARATULAS BUT....' i feel bad for your pets, reminds me of the girl in tiny toon adventures that 'loves' all her animals but they all hate her and try to escape or hide. and a poke is a poke ok? dont be all denial about it, its in the video you uploaded of yourself poking your spider out of its only safe spot

  • really, if you dont have anything worth saying ... dont say it at all... SO what i took it out of its burrow. Thats the purpose of this video. I i waited for her to come out it would be late at night she would return to her burrow..And i would have to get her out of it anyways... So keep your dam mouth shut and if you dont like what i do .. Watch something else.!

  • Very beautiful spider, but for a beginner like me, I'll stick with my pink toed!

  • are babon tarantulas bigger then the regular ones??

  • when they grow to full size, yes. But they take a while to get there!

  • wow....rough much

  • u really suck. you did poke her and youre stressing it.

  • that things got bigger fangs then a dog

  • :O

    FUZZY! <3

  • She is gorgeous, Im thinking of getting a King Baboon as my nexy spider so am doing lots of research at the moment..

    Thanks for the video.

  • great vid man she is a beauty! wot did u use to make the burrow?

  • I am amazed every time I see a K Baboon... So damn beautiful!

  • 4 legs in the air, and hissing = fuck off. i like the color.

  • I just say this once..

    This is why we should NOT do radioactivity... hahaha ^^

  • if your trying to stress out the tarantula.. good job, otherwise, that will make your tarantulas life alot worse and just stress her out, the best thing to do is to just LEAVE HER ALONE!

  • i think the king baboon should still be called the king baboon couse its the largest of the baboon tarantulas lol

  • lol ur a bit defencive.... throughout the vid i keeps seeing "dont give bad comments. im a damn good mother. i didnt poke it. stop yellling at mee..." lol i see what ur up to

  • Thanks for the show she is a beauty.Its not cruel to poke around sometimes its good to make sure they still have that aggression rather than a tamed tarantula.I keep a lot too but not got a king baboon yet hard to get where i am.

  • For all the idiots leaving coments saying its cruel or its wrong, what the hell?? these trantulas are used to insects and rodents poking around outside of their burrows and homes. its not cruel at all..i dont get u people if the spider was eating a live cricket or something you would even say its cruel on the cricket! get real its life!!

  • thanks for getting her out to show us; can't see what you see in her tho' she looks terrifying

  • your all fucking retards he is only trying to show you how amazing the spider is he cant just stick his hand in the cage cus the king baboon is very agressive

  • cut the man some fucking slack....tarantulas, king baboon in particular are very defensive and rugged T's but they are incredibly beautiful (i should know keeping baboons). This man is just trying to show how attractive they are. If you check out his other vids you would see that he knows a lot about T's and certainly knows how to treat em

    SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • Hissing. That's Tarantula language for "Fuck Off"

  • seriously, leave it alone. don't poke it :(

  • very pretty but why the fuck are you poking it

  • Hrmm.. could it have a nasty attitude because you poke it with a stick?

  • i hope she throws hurticating hairs on your eyes ASSHOLE

  • Lol learn your stuff... That F girl......This is a old world tarantula and they dont throw urticating hairs... So keep hoping. HAHAHAHA

  • beautiful spider

  • leave it alone tbh

  • scary! its so big!

  • Ive been keeping T's for a very long time and feel that they shoud be left alone, HOWEVER, when shooting videos on youtube I know that you want to show them of to the world as you said, Great T though a wonderful T man. keep poking :)

  • Nice looking spider!

    Although it doesnt seem so nasty,

    My Ex-goliath (its dead) would attack ANYTHING that went into its cage

  • have u got bitten by it before? does it leave big holes?

  • он стесняется сниматься

  • OMGGGG ne expert on spiders wuld fking scream at u 4 doin that

  • it's disgusting and beautiful at the same time

  • awesome spider they not too keen on being manhandled but im sure she'll forgive you lol.

  • keep poking your pets hopefully one day they will turn on you

  • wow you are a terrible owner

  • Wow you dont listen.. Must not of made it far in school..!!! sorry about your luck

  • where can you get a tarantula, the pet store?

  • Comment removed

  • You should get a trap door spider and have them both fight, and yes I know you people that are going to reply to this are going to say "The trap door one will win" but I think It would be cool personaly.

  • thats a cool idea off that bunker.

  • I guess some people don't take direction well! The gentleman speaking says repeatedly he does not like or want to harm his Tarantula but give you a clear idea of how the species reacts! Truly moronic are some people! Beautiful T and she is truly an aggressive girl but a beautiful specimen none the less.

  • Christoph, Thank you very much for getting the point of this video.. Many of these Youtube idiots do not understand my work.. Im glade to have u as a friend here.!!

  • This is a comment to all the idiots who think they know best. Number 1 this video is to show the tarantula. I dont go around pulling it out of its burrow every day. SO F@*K off if you have a problem with what i do.. No one forced you to watch my videos...!!!

  • Leave her the fuck alone, she wasnt bothering you. I hope she fucks you up one day. You gotta give the KB some respect, theyr one of the most aggressive T's with one of the most painful bites, excluding P.Regalis

  • the spiders like fuck u dude, im tryin to fuckin sleep.. and u just broke my bed asshole

  • Sir, that is one giant, bad ass motherfucking spider you have on your hands.

  • FUCK DAHT SHIT lolz

  • Nasty attitude? When someone smashes up my house and pokes me around with a pole I'm sure I'd feel the same. Why not dress it up in a pink tutu and make it dance next time?

  • Thats some spider lol. What got you into spiders? I couldnt imagine having one of those in my house, I couldnt sleep knowing its there.

  • dude, quit poking at the spider!!! it obviously wants to be left alone. it's in threat posture the entire video, man. can you not take a hint? at the very least don't advertise your idiocy and lack of respect for the animal.

  • Dude go watch something else. IF you dont have anything good to say about my videos then dont say them at all. Didnt your mommy teach you that. Also i know way more about these tarantulas then you. So please dont tell me when im doing something wrong

  • do tarantulas pee ? x] im clueless . lol my friend had a tarantuala & brought it to school and freaked everyone out; it was awesome & her tarantula was nice. later that month she discovered it was a girl because it layed an egg, when she was gone one day the egg hatched and all the spiders were gone . D:

  • Tarantuals can pee but most of their excreted waste looks like small lumps of crystallised urine and it is likely that , unless you know what you are looking for , you will miss seeing it.

    That said they dont do that very often and a tarantula is a very efficient user of liquids.

  • so how often do you clean enclosures? someone told me twice a year

  • Well i tend to just clean as and when its needed and definetly remove the shedded skin as and when it is shed - this is to stop any mites and parasites reinfecting the Tarantula.

    Most of the time for large prey the animal itself just dumps the remains away from the burrow which helps cleaning no end.

    I clean up seriously about every 3 months or so.

  • thanks for the help...im probably getting a juvie B. Albiceps by the end of the week...well ordering it, and i was wondering if you have any tips for care of it

  • do they ever ascape the cage because they can clime walls carnt they ?

  • like your subsrate

    what is it?

  • coco fiber

  • ITs coco fiber by Eco Earth..i think you can buy a brick for like 4 bucks.... 1 brick makes about 3 gallons or more

  • i buy bricks like that for like $1.99

  • so is coco fiber really good? it seems really cheap

  • Nice video and tarantula. =) Sorry you've received so many stupid comments from people.

  • Looks like your King can be handled,. somehow >_>

  • i didn't know that they can hiss. interesting.

  • i think that u should't be so cruel to the fucking thing you bumhole and get it out eith something softer

  • i think you should stfu....bum hole...go watch something else

  • its beautiful,wonderfully colored. and a nice size too. :)
