That's very interesting you say that! So, from what I've read, the difference between the lactrodectus genus and steatoda genus is physical differences. The lactrodectus has longer legs and a different shaped abdomen than the steatoda genus. The false widows have a more flat abdomen while the brown and black widows have a more round shape. They do look similar if you didn't know the difference, but when you look at comparison pictures of the brown and black widow vs. the false widows are much larger in size than the false widows. So that would be why they are not in the same genus! Thank you for watching, I appreciate your viewership😇🥰

Thank you!! She is more scared of me than I am of her, but I definitely don't take any risks. I see people handle them just fine, but I'm okay on a trip to the hospital 😂, Thank you for watching, I appreciate your viewership🥰😇

Thank you! I love and respect them. I think they are magnificent spiders and nothing to fear🥰

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video🥰 yes, Flicker was very spoiled while he was here🖤 Merlin is doing great, he does seem to be still in brumation but has become more active again in the last week since providing him an additional heat pad and increasing the room temperature! My other pacman frog xena is doing really good and is loving her new heat pad as well😇 Thank you! I had such a blast with my family, but I'm happy to get some rest, too. Thank you for watching, I appreciate your viewership😇🥰🙏🙌

Awe, thank you so much! I appreciate you watching🥰😇🙏🙌

@drdoolittlefishhobbyist6055 I'm so happy you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching! Haha yes, I would say my sun tiger is a good girl, I will say that yes she can be a handful sometimes but for the most part she's pretty good🥰 I think I might have gotten lucky with her😇

@joshlaclair2569 thank you😅😅 I'm a little dyslexic 😂 thank you for watching! I appreciate your viewership🥰😇

Thank you so much!! I really love to hear that from you, and I appreciate you taking the time to comment that Merlin is doing okay! He is hanging in there. He has eaten and pottied, and I've been keeping a close eye on him. I also upgraded his housing, I got a larger enclosure and a heat pad on the side to keep him cozy! I think he just needs a lot of rest, but he came out of his hole the other day and got my attention, so we are staying holpeful!! Thank you for watching, I appreciate your viewership very much😇🥰🙏🙌

They also like to shoot poop😂 Thank you so much for watching, I appreciate your viewership🖤😇

Hi Tammie, I understand why you might be upset. That is totally my fault for not being more specific. I should have said tarantulas do have brains, but not like one might think. That a tarantulas brain and nervous system is made of two large ganglia that run nerve channels throughout the body, ganglia being a collection of nerves and brain cells. My point was they don't have brains in a way that they are not going to be like that of a jumping spider, mammal, or person and perceive things the same way. My apologies for not explaining further, I will make sure to mention their nervous system in the next video more in depth. Thank you for watching, I appreciate your viewership!

We understood what you meant.

Hehe, isn't it cute?? Thank you for all of your support, Holley. I really appreciate you! Thank you for watching🥰😇💝💜💜💐

Yes, they can😂 my grammastola pulchripes have literally slapped my tongs before😅 I raise my tarantulas from slings, it's interesting to watch how their demeanor changes molt to molt! Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate your viewership😇🥰

Thank you!! I really appreciate it🥰🖤🖤 thank you for watching!

I put the intro at the same volume. Maybe your tv was too loud? Thank you for watching!!

Thank you!!

Please do! I would really appreciate it, thank you😇🥰💖

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Yes, the aphonapelma chalchodes is an excellent beginner tarantula! Thank you so much for watching😇🥰👑✨️

They are pretty cool to see in person. I must say! They are native to where I live here in the United States. My first spider was actually a wild caught brown female widow that I found outside. I didn't end up keeping her because I didn't have the proper enclosure. I've regretted it ever since🥲 funny story actually with this one. I kept finding my bike all webbed up next to my porch but never seen what spider made it. I went to the store the other night and came back to find this little lady in the same spot where I put my bike! She is the one who has been residing there😅 so for my safety and her safety, I brought her inside and have her an enclosure to stay in where she won't get squished and I won't accidentally get bit!

Hi there, and thank you so much for watching! Also, thank you for asking! I love my Venezuelan Sun tiger, she is really easy to interact with, rehouse, and feed!. Despite that they can be a little bolty, I've never had mine take off and run out of her enclosure, when I rehouse her she will just walk right in but I have other tarantulas like grammastola, tlilocotal, and other new world species that really give me a run for my money compared to my p. Irminia, who just hangs out and hides most of the time. For spider lovers who just only want a few tarantulas in their collection that they can enjoy, I definitely recommend the Psalmopoeus irminia they are a beautiful species and deserve a better reputation I also think that since they don't have urticating hairs that, that would make up for their bolty-ness. An Avicularia, Avicularia is a great starter arboreal tarantula. They are much slower. I will tell you they can have quite crazy feeding responses and my personal Avicularia Avicularia Alfredo, will bite first and ask questions later. But other than that, they are definitely great for beginners and a beautiful display tarantula. I was going to consider using the avic for this video, but I instead decided I was going to use it in my top 3 arboreal tarantulas video😇🥰 Again, thank you so much for watching! I appreciate your viewership

I would also like to say that I believe each and every tarantula has their own quirks and that just because they are said to be one way does not mean they aren't entitled to act differently than what we know. For example, I have a golden blue leg baboon who is terrestrial and supposedly semi fossorial. Let me tell you, this semi fossorial spider has never touched a piece of dirt to move it in her life, and she does not like to hang out on the ground but instead, on top of the cork bark I give her or she's hanging on the wall🙈😂 Also they say Avics are prolific webbers and that they all web huge webbing, but mine barely webs at all. With all that said, just because a tarantula is supposed to act a specific way does not mean they will, and I advocate for that. An Aphonapelma chalchodes could still threat pose despite their natural calm and docile demeanor. These guys do not have brains and therefore operate differently💖

Thank you for watching!!🥰💜💜

Thank you, and I appreciate you watching! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I understand your reasoning. In my opinion, any spider can bolt whether they can run or telelport, and to say they won't is unreasonable. It's almost like saying every New World spider is going to be calm and slow. These are arachnids, and keeping them isn't for the faint of heart. If you cannot deal with them in a controlled manner, for example if they escape and your not brave enough to catch them then you have a whole set of issues that arise that could possibly compromise the spiders well being and possibly other animals in the house or children. Owning tarantulas and any other exotic pet comes with a reasonable amount of responsibility. Therefore, owning and keeping arachnids just isn't for everyone. And to promise that a specific species of spider is going to act the same way every time because of the natural nature of the species is calm and docile is in my mind irresponsible and puts both keepers and spiders at risk. There are expectations we should have when it comes to keeping exotic animals and especially tarantulas. They are not your everyday pet and should not be treated as so. I respect the nature of my spider, and I expect people to do so as well for the better. Also, I would have to say I disagree with what you said about slings, and this is why. The majority of my tarantulas I bought as slings, some less than a 1/4 of an inch, and I have not had a single one die yet. If you have had a lot of slings pass away to the point of concern, I would consider looking at your husbandry and seeing what you might be doing wrong. I suggest keeping slings warm and moist, they same way they are when they are in their eggsac, their babies. Also, slings are much cheaper than Juvies to adults, which depending on the species can start anywhere from 150$ and up. Slings are also great to start with especially if you are fearful of your tarantulas at first, they are way less intimidating than a huge spider, you can watch them grow, and ultimately appreciate them just that much more because you raised them. I also think that statement undermines every captive bred breeder that produces most of their tarantulas and sells them as slings because they are produced in-house. Finally, this is not some Facebook page if you would like to give advice about keeping tarantulas, I would recommend you do so on your own account, as I would not like to cause confusion for the ones who are trying to learn. But of course, opinions are like buttholes and everyone has one🤷‍♀️ Thanks for watching. Don't forget to like and subscribe😇🥰

I love my grammastola pulchripes😍 I will definitely be mentioning that species when I make a top 3 grammastola species video!! I also have two of them, I'm hoping my sling will grow into a female because I have a male and it would be awesome to try and breed them😇 Thank you so much for watching friend🖤💯

That's amazing🥰😍 I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching! I appreciate your viewership🖤

@MelissaWilson-it6wb Miss bon bon!! I wish I had feeding footage or any of her moving, but she's so shy. We love her!🥰😇💖💖

Right!? Thank you🥰🥰

@ghoulgirlholley isn't it?! There are other species that can be sexually dimorphic as well, but the Venezuelan sun tiger is one🥰 Thank you for watching 💜💜💜
