Exotics Lair - I was secretly hoping you two watched each others videos 😁🕷
Good to see you in here, both youtubers i follow with pleasure just met already. :)
I Love you Exotics
I SM POLISH
Great vid Petko!! I'm from Poland too!!!
Uwielbiam jego kanał 👍
10 free slings? I'm jealous. And you don't need to worry about your latin pronounciation so much, you're already better at it than any other youtuber I know ^^
I always find it easier to pronounce the names when I know what it means, for example coloratovillosus is coloratum (colorful) + villosum (shaggy).
Also can you tell me what those bigger vials in the video are and where you got them?
Those are plastic viles (aka plastic dram bottles) that have either a 1.5inch or 2inch diameter, I can't tell from the video. You can get them on kenthebugguy.com, that's where I got mine, but if you check the arachnoboards or just look around you should be able to find better deals on them. Also try your local hobby store, they'll have things like these vials that will be perfect for keeping slings.
I know the smaller 25ml ones, I have hundreds of those. You can get them for very cheap from lab suppliers in packs of 1000. It's the bigger ones I'm interested in, and I haven't seen those anywhere. At least not in bulk, I'm not gonna spend that much money on a few when I know there has to be some place where you can get 1000 for like $50.
wow it's the guy with the legendary centipede video
The larger ones shown in the video that he kept the slings that were slightly larger than the others are the ones that I am referring to.
A friend of mine buys a bulk of them on german expos
I have a Thrixopelma pruriens! 😊 Her name is Ren. She is a notorious hair kicker! She is a lovely Tarantula none the less! I also have a B. Emilia. ....it's only an inch long. I also have a juvenile B. vagans whose very shy but eats well. Congratulations on your new additions!
wow how exciting is that ...that's was very nice of them to send u 10 slings nice job on the rehousings. .👍's up ☺
That is quite the come up! Congrats! I would really like to see a video on how and what you feed slings as well. I usually use flour beetles, pinhead rusty reds or freshly killed small crickets. I have tried Flightless fruit flies but haven't developed an efficient process that works. Seems more fruit flies end up outside the enclosure than in. Any experience would be helpful.
Wow. That's a nice package you got there. (again no pun.. I can't stop haha) Congrats =)
1:18 looks like you're opening a big mac xD
Very cool of them to send you a bunch of awesome new slings. I just love the T. Community. Everyone i´ve seen is very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
Oh im from Poland too
U r for sure my favorite spider man. I love how u care for ur pets . I really enjoy ur accent , it reminds me of my old relatives who passed away. They were from Russia but don't remember the towns. My goodness these babies r so tiny and cute.they all look pretty much the same.
Never a dull moment. Congrats on your new slings. Very cute!
What an incredible gift🕷🕷 Those slings were so great!!!!!!! Woohoo for free stuff and the nice people who send them!!!
Yeah :3
Greetings from Poland!
can you do a video in where we see how to feed slings?
Luca Rotini you can buy fruit flys,there nice and small
Just feed them with micro criket.
I prefer to just use crickets. The smallest pinheads tend to be roughly the size of the spider itself which gives it a nice heavy feed. Granted you might want to prekill it or pull its legs off for the occasional species that refuses to take prekilled prey.
Put small crickets in freezer. Wait until dead. Thaw them for at least an hour, and then leave the bodies in the vials. The slings will scavenge. They eat more readily at night, so that's when I feed.
Fruit flies have almost no nutritional value. Pre-killed small crickets are much better for the slings.
congratulations with the tarantulas :)
Awesome! Congrats on new additions :)
awesome ! an other Poecilotheria ^^ ! really happy and excited to see them all grow ! keep it up buddy :D
Your channel has inspired me to start collecting tarantulas, I’m 14 and live in Arizona in the US
Man that is one super awesome gift. Look forward to seeing the updates on all these as they grow. ❤️🕷🕸👍🏽
wow some lovely new additions a nice collection there all guna be big boys and girls bless em great vid keep us posted on feedings cheers 👍
Incredible quality as always
I kind of want to have a channel like this one day. Just loving what I do, having a really neat hobby, showing people and teaching people about the creatures I love. Sounds really fun. I'd probably have more snakes than spiders, but probably some spiders too! Wish me luck in the (hopefully) not too far future. Need my own place first and a better income.
I love how you still tried to personalize their tiny enclosures with sticks etc.!
Great video and congrats on the new little ones!
My LP sling is currently the tiniest of all my slings. It's crazy that it's gonna end up being bigger than all my other tarantulas.
That was so nice of your friends! Some tarantula people are really awesome. Keep an eye on those Thrixopelma pruriens - they are quick to bolt. At least mine are. :)
You are going to enjoy the H. Gigas , I have an adult hysterocrates crassipes which is very similar both species will dive in water to escape or to catch fish from what I've heard and read they are obligate burrowers so you will have a pet hole but with any luck your'se will do its excavations near the wall so you can see its tunnels. mine built a massive tunnel in a few days I need to go back and remove some of the excess substrate and uncover its water dish.
The T. pruriens, I have one as well, they are fenomenal! Can wait to see the updates on the little ones! Keep up the great vids!
Good videos, I have seen maybe 7 or 8 in a row, I'm officially addicted to how much you love what you do, you got a new subscriber!
So carefully packaged!! :'D
I’ve never owned or think I will ever own any but still enjoy watching your videos ☺️
I love your unboxing videos!
Another one will come soon :P
me too
that's awesome. not sure if slings are for myself yet but still amazing !
Great stuff, love your channel. Keep it up!
lp's are the coolest you will see they eat like crazy
Love the music . And your show keep up the good work...!
Wow! Great video!
These videos help me get over my fear of spiders
Oh man, so lucky :D
Do you like coco fiber? I mean in my experience there grow a lot of mold on it and the texture is a bit unnatural. like loose in the terrarium. It is just me or?
And respect on keeping a steady hand and being so calm with those tiny fast slings ;)
Ludvig R. R. If it grows mould add springtails and isopods. They prevent mould growth
I dislike how it looks, but it is the easiest solution, especially for the beginners
Yes you are right about that :)
i dont know about tarantulas but i enjoyed watching you man! congrats
I like watching you because you r informational
HA HAAA...That was so funny the way you said "don't be psycho" Love your channel even though I don't keep big fuzzy spiders......I have been keeping longbodied cellar spiders for few yrs. This spring I found Brown Widow and have her in a jar. My little hunters enjoy tiny black 🐜's. Webbing and the predatory actions are fascinating! I have a respect for arachnids since have had bites out in garden multiple times.
My envenomators? 1 very large funnel web female bite took 4 YEARS to close! Oh and 1 hobo (pretty sure) mother guarding 2 egg sac under a brick (I not aware of her nest and pulled one weed too close) BAM on front lower leg. I looked down fast enough to see her run away and back under brick! My leg swelled up to hip,sweats,vomit,muscle pain was intense for first 36 hours. Don't mess with a Mama huh?! Thanks for all the interesting footage! from Seattle area USA
Petko: "no dont go on me"
Sling: " but father.... ;-;"
Love your vids, greetings also from Poland. Keep it up friend !
Gorgeous. Nice video
I just bought a lasiodora parahybana (Salmon Pink) and she/he is awesome, really hoping it's a female so I have her awhile but no matter what i know i'll enjoy caring for it, already has a pinkish fade on the fuzz, she is about 1.5 inches or roughly 4cm, smallest spider I have owned so far but i know it will be the biggest
aw, lovely
I suggest when introducing baby tarantulas add an image of how they look when they get bigger
I was bitten by a spider, as an adult..I have been terrified of spiders since then. As a child I played with spiders. I am going to have to get a spider to overcome this fear. Nice bunch of T's
I love your a videos! I'm from Poland too! :)
Bro your videos are the best..now I don't fear spiders anymore😄thanks
I love your videos! keep it up! :)
So cool! I wonder how big they are now.
Den can you do a tutorial on how to start keeping tarantulas? (How to make/ what to buy)
We all need friends like that.. \o/
I think the Lasiodora Parahybana Slings are so small because look how much eggs are in one eggsac from them .. they have to be small , eggsac off theraposa is not so much eggs in it so they can be bigger .. that's my explanation for that , I hope you understand what I mean 😊
nice video thumbs up 😉
Man you teach me how like put dirts plants thanks man i learn about geckos and spider
Lucky man
When they are that tiny what do you feed them? I don't think I've seen a video on you feeding really small ones like those
Thorin I think they dont need to eat for a little while they just keep growing for a bit
Flightless fruit flies or tiny roaches
Lord Talo or prekilled cut up prey
Dark den your the man
Is the pokey Miranda,one of the more gentle pokeys,sure I heard that on another video,
very cool mate
Lol.. everytime i watch you unwrap spiders i always wonder if they ever jump up at your face...
So jealous, I want a P.regalis so bad 😍😍😍
Please could you do videos on jumping spiders , love your channel!
The kitten videos of the future...at least for me.
Anybody else?
PS: I still LOVE kittens and puppies.
Slings. Daddy!
Petco. no no no don't go on me
😂😂😂
I'm from Poland!!!!!
Ho boy! 3:04 thats some Neistat edit skillz right there XD gg
great video !!!
Any interest in or experience with jumping spiders?
Interest yes, but little experience, kept few local WC species...but they were all tiny
Same where I live. Kept a few little ones including one I have now that is 2mm but an amazing hunter of fruit flies. I want to order one of the bigger species but I can't find anywhere in the US that has them in stock.
I have a male and female P. regius, they are very actice and look gorgeous!
Awesome! I'd LOVE to get a pair of those!
Well idk how expensive shipment to the US is, but in know a german and a polish breeder who has P. regius available (polyped.de and exo-factory.pl)
greetings from Poland! :D
Oh you did a newspaper unboxing nice
Supercool video & awesome people. Nice species, the Thrixopelma pruriens gets really cool, i have a adult female, green sheen on black bottom. Take care.🤗🕷🕸🇸🇪
I love cute little slings! I have a brachypelma smithi (or was their name changed?) I have to be so careful every time I open its little cup. It would love to bolt. When I first got it, it scrambled out onto my arm. First time I held a tarantula. (And the last time too, come to think of it.)
Great video
I would be very satisfied.
Even though I am terrified of anything with eight legs, l love watching and learning from you. I have a question, when spiders as re shipped to you they are always wrapped up in paper inside of the tube or box. How do you wrap up a spider in paper like that?
i'm from poland to and i hawe only 15 spders i love your chanel
"A bit more hairy than Emilia" :DDD I DIED!! HAHAHHAHAH
I still have yet to see a sling threat posture I was shocked when my huntsman threat postured I didn't think they did that
7:06 is when he starts unboxing, you're welcome
"unless you dont like tarantulas"
laughed so hard XD
Are these baby tarantulas or just super mini tarantulas?
seriously i know nothing so pls someone pls enlighten me
Babies
Greetings from the Philippines :) I watch all your videos keep it up!
Cool unbocing
great vid, wait till that LP gets a little bit of size...will be a fearless eating machine.
I thought the spiders were in the cotton! I kept saying don't open it!
wow mate you still remember mee?? your 40th subscriber?? congrats you have 7.3k subs keep it up !! (y) (y ) :)
Sorry but I forgot...although thanks for sticking around for so long ^^
and now I'm so jealous...
😅
Recently i got 2 slings - 0.8cm what should i feed them i cant find fruit flies. I've heard of giving them crickets legs or heads but will they take it?
I heard that also but never tried it myself. Can't get B. lateralis babies?
another one will come soon
If I remember right, Hysterocrates gigas do can "swim" but it's just an evolutionary development to escape floodings.
A short arcticle by Danniella Sherwood on the subject.
I'd like to clear up all this nonsense that goes around about them. Hysterocrates CAN swim, but so can Haplopelma lividum (I've seen them do that) and Avicularia ssp. They are pretty good at it, but it does not mean its something they do all the time, in fact that could not be further from the truth. It's something they evolved to do for rare cases where burrows (or surrounding areas) became flooded. In regular circumstances they are never, ever in daily contact with water sources and don't go for swims to hunt fish. That is a one in a million observation, if it even is true at all. I highly doubt the validity of the people reporting them catching fish in the wild. It seems to be a captive phenomenon that people feed them wish. Just to illustrate that with another example, a friend of mine has a female Grammostola ssp. - which is WC, They don't live near rivers or streams, they live in arid areas. Yet when he offered it a fish, it ate it. Just because a spider will accept a prey item in captivity does not make it safe to assume they do so in the wild as part of their wild behaviour. Another spin off of this is these half land and half water setups. They are not necessary, they are hard to maintain and I just dislike them. Again, goes back to two of my previously alluded points. Firstly, they can swim, but other spiders can swim just as well yet don't receive this attention. Secondly, providing an animal with captive conditions does not mean you can then make an authoritative assumption about their natural behaviours in the wild.
If you wan't to keep them, keep them on deep dirt substrate, keep it nice and moist (I soak the substrate completely every now and then) and feed them sparingly. Easy. :)
Ye that's why I sad that it is controversial :)
Did you get anything from the BTS expo?
You will like the Nhandu coloratrovillosus they were the first T I bred, I got 125 babies.
And yes, H. gigas supposedly does fish.
Nop, can't take animals on the plane
I know you probably don't know many other spider names, but I keep finding very very tiny very dark drown spiders in my house, their abdomen is black and they have two white horizontal lines on their abdomens I looked up every possible way but I still don't know, will they grow larger or if they are poisonous, please help, I don't like them crawling on me while I sleep, it happens a lot
Awesome additions to your collection. How many do you have now?
Around 70 ^^
can you post pics of the adults? I don't want to look all them up!! that is so cool though!! grats!!
In the description you have all the names, just google that and you have plenty of pictures :)
I'm from Poland 😉
