    I like these set ups. Vibrant T's!

    I want one of these so bad but I must say I'm a little terrified. I have only been keeping since February and I now have 75 T's. I do have 9 Old Worlds but I still am a little scared. Watching these videos helps me out alot. Thanks so much for your input. Newbies like me appreciate it. Tell Lucy my Caribena versicolor Lucy got out on me again during feeding. That's 4 times. She is such a cheeky little girl. 😆

      If you have 75 tarantulas I'd say your ready for a pokie they're normally advanced because of the speed, freaks people out and obviously the strong venom, out of the pokies tho p metallica if you get one from sling it's just fast but you will trust it more as it grows the only pokie that's ever gave me trouble is p regalis, tried to bite me few times ha ha

    Amazing information mate thanks for the video. I have a few P.metallica slings, an adult female, and a mature male. My female juvenile died. I'm so glad you shared your experiences and knowledge. ❤

      Would love to see a breeding video. I'm currently trying to breed my female P.metallica. the male has been in for 2/3 weeks now . There is not a lot of information on successful egg sacks 🤔.

    Hi Gav 🕷️ hope you had a great Halloween 🎃 👻
    What a fantastic video. I have to say that the P. Metallica is one of my favourite Old World Tarantula species. When I used to watch an American UA-cam channel away years ago, I fell for them. Their colours are amazing, and a great size when they’re adults.
    Although they’re too advanced for me 😂
    Hope all’s well 😊😊

    Awesome video man, great info. I’ve been wanting to add one of these to my collection and this helped me a bunch. Your spiders are beautiful. You earned a sub from me.

    I need to get another one or two of these, and had a male and he’s gone now.
    I have 14 pokies and I’ve never had any problems with them. They may have skittish moments but they’ve never been defensive in any way.
    I house mine similarly especially the sizing of enclosures

    Excellent Vid !!! 💙🖤💛
    I have a large Tarantulas Crib Treehouse, it’s awesome. Also a 2 & 1/2 to 3 inch female P. victori
    Darth Maul. I’d really like to put her in the treehouse. What do you think ??
    I’m thinking she is too small ?
    It’s 12 inches tall without the extension & 14 with it.
    Please tell me what you think 🤔
    So it’s 8 by 8 by 12 or 14
    I can make the enclosure very full of stuff so the amount of room won’t be so much with lots of hiding places

      @gavsTarantulas I have up on trying to get my hands on my favorite true spider, found in the red woods and Canada only. Lately I've been into the classic Tegenaria domestica and hibernalis kulkania. I recently found a mature healthy red ant mimic spider in the wild. I captured video haven't posted it though. I find interesting true spiders a good bit here in the old houses here in New Orleans. Up high inside the wood trim and under slate.
