    I’m Cajun (Acadiana born and raised) and your inclusion of Cajun folklore was such a nice surprise in this video!!! It’s SO rare to see it in contexts outside of my area!!! If I hadn’t subbed already last week i would have INSTANTLY just for that!!!! 😊
    I also love this series lol, I love Halloween and am considering giving a home to one of these beautiful creatures someday. This series is EXACTLY what I was looking for to help me figure out which one would be best for me!!! 🎃🕷
    Thank you and keep up the great work!!! 😊😊😊

      Wow! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I believe the story takes place in Acadia Parish. It is one of my favorite stories to share with my students. Tarantulas are definitely interesting to keep. There are so many wonderful species to choose from. Thank you for your comment. 🤓👍🏼

    I didn't know that they could take some degree of dryness. I always thought them to be a moisture-dependant species. I may actually attempt to raise one of these in the future. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

    They do look like some zany wolf spider, but I would recommend them. They are great eaters, prolific webbers, and cool tunnelers. Give them a semi arboreal setup, and watch what they do. My Bolt (as in lightning) rivals my GBB for decorating their respective homes. If you do like that wolf spider look, check out Heterothele villosella. It is another dwarf with big personality.

    I love your videos Alex! I got one of these kinda by accident someone ordered one at a local shop & then never came back to get it. I'm wondering if there's any way to know if it's the large or small species or do I just have to wait it out & see how big it gets? When I got it it was smaller than a pin head cricket it's molted once so far but it's still my smallest sling 😍

    • @TarantulaHaven
      @TarantulaHaven  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you. From what I understand in the large, the middle spots on the abdomen are connected. I’m the small, those spots are separated by black. So in other words they will be actual orange spots and not like an orange streak.
