  • Pairing our Chilobrachys sp dyscolus blue, The Vietnam Blue
    Today we attempt to pair our Vietnam Blue a gorgeous asian fossorial spider
    these are notoriously harsh on the males which often do not make it out alive this appears to be part of the breeding courtship with these spiders, this male was no exception and does get eaten at the end of the pairing, but I would ask you to watch the full video to appreciate the full courtship of these amazing group of spiders.

    The camera work is nothing short of outstanding. Didn't expect to have a view from the female's burrow. Hopefully, he did manage to get an insertion just before she munched him. Fingers crossed. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

    Just the size of her should have sent him running. Their drive to mate must be crazy. I just watched the egg sack collection from this Mom, so at least it was fruitful.

    Hello Dave and Camera Lady! That courtship was particularly fascinating to watch. The tease, the invitation of the male. I'm sure he was very frustrated. It was a display of nature's dangerous dance to procreate more generation's in order to survive. He may have given his life to do so but he also has provided nourishment to his offspring so they survive and the mother to stay healthy. Wonderful video Dave and quite a amazing. Truly a magnificent "danse de la mort".

    I REALLY liked that underground view Dave!!! Have you thought about making a few enclosures that lend themselves to different camera views? Try different shapes and look into smaller lipstick cameras to get interesting angles. When it comes time to clean or rehouse that's when you break everything down and try something else. If they web up the cam that's fine. It's only meant to be a short experimental shots setup.

    I’ve been binging your videos since yesterday- great stuff! I’m fairly new to the hobby (first T late 2018) and I really like sharing tarantula videos with my partner (he thinks they’re cool lol).
    So little funny story, this afternoon we got into a little argument over something silly. It’s later and I forget about it and I show my partner this video.
    So now a bit ago, I’m in my bed still binging your videos and feeling particularly lazy under a cozy blanket. So I’m calling out to him to bring me a drink but he’s not listening/answering me so I’m going “hey what gives?”
    And then he goes “oh no! I saw the end of that video. You’re not gonna lure me in there like the girl spider did” I laughed so hard LOL😂😂
