    This is super random, but I absolutely love the chill, pleasant music that you have in this video! So many exotic pet channels seem to think that they need to have AGGRESSIVE music for their AGGRESSIVE animals and it's really silly, the calm yet mysterious music that you chose highlights your beautiful spider so well :)

    Would you recommend a heat lamp for this species? I have an adult male . My room has an average of 68 - 70F.
    Some say that you should have an heat lamp on for a few our a day.
    Also another thing I noticed is that he wont eat very often. Sometimes for more than 2 weeks. Ive read that these species can behave very differently when being kept alone instaed of a communal. And there was no mold so far (I have mine since last October)
    Do you have any experience with that?

It’s very pretty and an awesome spider. Is it normal for them to be like that after being mailed? I feel like it was either really stressed out from the traveling or has a different temperament from the usual balfouri

    I learn so much in this vidoes. I startet a couple months ago to watch vids from Exotics Lair and The Dark Den and I enjoed so much that I get soon my first T. It´s so exiting to learn about every new T I see. I literally create my onw care & husbandry sheets for species that could be my first. Grammostola pulchripes and Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens are most likley my first T. The grow not so fast and maybe a Brachipelma species that grows slow.
    The balfouri is so pretty and comes to my list for first old world, when I have expirience with Ts in general.
    It´s advisable to start with 3 Tarantulas at once? I feel I can do it and I want them to have a good life on my side.

    I am thinking of taking in a sub adult BB for 90... is that price okay? And is it too old to try and keep communal?

    The production value of your videos is fantastic! I'm sure you've addressed this in a previous video since I can't be the first person to acknowledge this, but did you go to school for film? Very impressive!

      Thank you, I am glad you enjoy them. I didnt go to school for film...lol. if you go back a year on my channel you will see the first few videos were just shot with my cell phone. A friend have me my first actual dslr camera last year for christmas and I've just been learning as much as I can about filming and editing and try to implement a new skill in each video. That way each video is a little better than the one before, kinda of building skills on top of each other. It is amazing all the thing you can learn from watching UA-cam videos and practicing...lol.

    My Curly hair (Tliltocatl albopilosum) refuses food 9 weeks after last molt. Is this common? Fangs seem fine I think. He seems very defensive. Don't want to bother him further. He's about 7-8 cm (3.1 in).

    Just getting back into Ts after few years out. I used to give them the water jel as slings and juveniles as heard stories of drowning. Do you recommend using water or the jel? I’ve got a big juvenile Aphonopelma seemann and a big sling/ small juvenile Monocentropus balfouri

      I’d say just use a water dish if it’s a juv, or if it’s a sling and you want to be extra safe just dampen the dirt with water, they’ll drink out of the substrate, Mine have been thriving this way.

      Make sure if you dampen the substrate just don’t flood/ Make the dirt muddy.
