    3:18 that is one of the scenes why i prefer you over every other tarantula-keeper-youtubechannel! I always love how nicely you film your tarantulas,open and outside their enclosures. On most other channels you can see the tarantulas only for some seconds outside,when they are fed and bolt at the prey. Awesome Video!

    Hello Richard! I absolutely L.O.V.E. your channel! I´m a (former) sufferer of Arachnophobia but since a few years now i´m absolutely in love with those fuzzy critters! ^^ Unfortunately there is a species that i´m totally interested in but i´m not really able to dig a whole lot information up about them ... I´m talking about the "Chaetopelma olivaceum"; i really think that they are totally underrated and can´t seem to find a whole lot ppl who have them. Well, not here in Europe (Austria to be more specific) where i live. It really is a shame, i´m quite fond of them ... If you could be so kind and (maybe) one day make a Husbandry Video about them, i would be absolutely overjoyed!!! Even on UA-cam i can´t really find a decent Video about them .... that is really frustrating because i would love to keep them but - as a responsible keeper should do first - i need more information about them before i attempt to keep them; i want to provide the best care possible for them. Thank you very much in advance and have good one! :D

      @tarantulacollective  4 роки тому +1

      Usually, that's what I use. Sometimes I use a power drill, but if you use a power drill you have to very careful because once the bit goes through the plastic the drill can slam down on the acrylic and crack it. That's why I usually opt for the dremel when making the small enclosures.

      I buy Tarantulas maybe twice a year. Other than that they're fairly low maintenance.

      the_tarantula_collective I guess I also chose curly hair because it is my favorite one but we also have some similarities and that’s why it’s my first (and only) tarantula

      Luckily where I live there is very little threat of earthquakes, hurricanes, or any natural disasters like that. Largest earthquake ever recorded around here was a 2.6.
