im fascinated by how chill this one is, and maybe they were totally sure of it before recording the video.... but i would still be shaking inside in his place. I could be 100% sure this one is not gonna bite, but... it still takes balls of steel to do it.
its super cute how chill it was and how didnt jump out of fear or stress but just to move to a more comfortable place. I never saw a poecilotheria jumping like that before and its adorable.
That was my text book definition of, “Nope, hell no” If any of my pokies, H Mac, or S. Calceatum were on me, it wouldn’t even have to bite for me to go the hospital because I would already be having a legit heart attack.
You don't have much content but your handling videos show tarantulas better than any other T keeper on youtube. You show clear shots of the markings, how they walk and move. No yapping on for 20 minutes. The only T video I prefer to yours is watching the Scottish bloke get bitten by an OBT but that is for comedy value.
I've noticed that tarantulas, whenever not with their webs, become like 10x more chill, maybe cause they're like "I've been taken out my home but I'm still okay, must be safe"
i was fuggin scared of tarantulas...but then a friend sat one on my hand(i think it was a brachipelma smithi or something) and as i felt those little claws grapping my skin,it was so mindopening and awsome.since then my fear was gone.try it yourself!!!i love them now,these beautiful little buggers:)
@@menilakataraseefluppenimia6970 No. Those are not nice. Gorgeous though. In my experience pokies are chill as long as you do not disturb or annoy them while obts agro at anything. When I speak next to my OBTs its sometimes enough to send her into defensive mode. Also Pokies tend to run. While OBTs stand and fight, but king baboons are even worse. They will go after disturbances. Instead of fight or flight.
smithis are a completly different kind of league they are very chilled and kinda harmless but Poecis are not so could say a smithi is a walk in the park very chilled and Poeci is le mans racing with maybe bad accidents
Arachnids are very intelligent creatures, even more so then humans. I"ll tell you all right now, if the spider thought or knew that the human was a threat to it, then it would have bite him.
Arachnids are in my eyes, in my mind, heart and soul, the most perfect, beautiful, powerful, dangerous and truly fascinating creatures in Nature. They're just so pure, primitive and primordial. All of you who respect, honor and love spiders, stand by my side and we shall restore honor and glory to The Mighty Arachnids!!!!
Love it, the spider thinks “you want me....fine you asked for it........I’m going to make myself comfortable right here.” I flinched watching this, no idea how you kept your composure.
Only just started in the T hobby...can't imagine handling a Pokie right now, after reading some of the bite reports. One thing that was funny though...she reminded me of a cat when she jumped. She cocked back and actually wiggled her butt before she jumped. I cracked up when I saw that.
+tim4pele I have two cats and I hadn't noticed that! She does indeed act like a cat when she's about to jump 😂 I was quite nervous while handling her because I had also read some bite reports. I was lucky she didn't bite me!
Had no idea a P. Regalis can get that big. It makes me want to get one. But yeah you loco as fuck to be so calm handling a pokie. It’s like a giant jumping spider
Am I the only one that screamed when it first jumped...then damn near pass out when it jumped on front of his shirt? Fascinating to watch ONCE, but a resounding No on ever holding/handling one.
I've been bitten by one. Not a pleasant experience, as it has even puzzled doctors here in Australia (Many). Took 1 Year and 6 blood tests to find out. Now I'm an Arachnophobe
I got bit by an adult one a couple of years ago..the spider was female and about 6,5 inches legspan..it got me in the finger while i was adding some water and in about 4 hours my arm got completely cramped up to the shoulder, so i couldnt move it at all, also my finger was really swallen..i went to bed and in the morning everything was okay (the bite happened at about 6pm)..after a couple of days i started getting these weird cramps all ober my body but it disappeared in about a week...
+tinaTron3000 Mine is about the same size. I really hope not to get bitten by this one, especially after reading some bite reports... And you weren't even handling her! One needs to be very careful with these 😕
It's beautiful for a spider but I can't deal with the jumping. We used to have jumping tarantulas in Texas where I grew up and they scared the crap out of me. Because they would literally jump at you to scare you away! It worked too LOL. There were two kinds actually, the skinny jumping ones and the bigger, furrier, slower ones. The jumping ones scared me way more than the bigger, slower ones LOL
Watching this you couldn't pull a sewing needle out of my ass with a tractor! I don't handle new world species, so there is no freakin' way I would handle a pokie! I had a buddy who got tagged by a P. regalis sling and it was not funny in the least.
@@benaiahsbugcollection736 new world's are supposedly, on average, more docile and less venemous. What he is getting at is " I wouldn't handle a less venenous, more docile new-world species let alone this more venemous old world!

I mean personally I would handle an Orange Baboon more than a black widow spider. I don't even care if it paralyzes my bum, I care it's not a spooky quarter sized ball of nastyness I can find under the bed.
Ahh perfect, I've got a gbb sling that is currently nameless and it's sibling is named Kokiri. Don't know why I didn't think of naming my second gbb Gohma!
Arachnids are very intelligent creatures, even more so then humans. I'll tell you all right now, that if the spider thought or knew that the human was a threat to it, it would have bite him.
This is why these tree spiders are not recommended for beginners... they may look slow, but they can move very quickly and they can be unpredictable and as you now know, jump.
I don't get it why most yall afraid of handling. In Philippines we handle any species including obt . Tarantulas don't bite when they are outside their enclosure . And also before they bite they do threat posture so u can identify a tarantula that is about to bite
I just got a big fetish in this specie, but never think of trying to handle it lol. can't say anymore by your braveness. btw, it's a fairly awesome video.
My P.Regalis has tried to bite me twice. My defense against him is a pair of thick hockey gloves. I haven’t felt his fangs once. I usually take him out once a day.
That sounds like a great defense mechanism on your part! However, I hope you don't mind me telling you this but I wouldn't take out and handle a tarantula every single day; it can be stressful for them.
Sad to think that soon this species very well may only exist in the hobby already in circulation 😢 their habitat is shrinking more and more every week. Just got one today myself so hopefully I can help repopulate them someday
very ballsy holding a poeci! please don’t ever hold tarantulas this high up though of it had jumped onto the ground instead of his shirt it could of been seriously injured or died
The butt wiggle before the leap was kinda cute.
It was he was like I'm go for it wooooo
Porque ella pego 🕸️ 🕸️ telaraña, todas las arañas y arañitas lo hacen... :v
Es como una soga de seguridad por si el salto falla o resbala....
Some people say holding tarantulas is crazy, but when it's an old world like a Poecilotheria, you're really playing with fire
im fascinated by how chill this one is, and maybe they were totally sure of it before recording the video.... but i would still be shaking inside in his place. I could be 100% sure this one is not gonna bite, but... it still takes balls of steel to do it.

Gonzalo Camacho how are your slings doing now after 7 months?
lmao!!

You can actually see her lean back to prepare to jump, at about 1:11.
And this spider 🕷 is gorgeous!!!
That part was kind of cute.
Like a cat!

Did you actually handle that guy in the wild!?! Amazing!
I wouldn't do it, but it made for a remarkable video. Thank you for sharing. :)
That's one beautiful spider until you piss it off and it tags you
Wow! i didn’t realize they could jump like that!
I know, right! I didn't realise one such as that size could, either. I was like, Whaaaattt!!
Some can even jump 50 cm vertical. Only tree spider
I know its usually the jumping spider that do that
God that’s terrifying!
Yeah, you gotta be careful because they can get hurt when they misjudge the distance
Im 13 years old and I have handled my P Regalis it didn't gave me a threat posture but she is extremely fast! She is just 3 inches btw.
Only just started in the T hobby...can't imagine handling a Pokie right now, after reading some of the bite reports. One thing that was funny though...she reminded me of a cat when she jumped. She cocked back and actually wiggled her butt before she jumped. I cracked up when I saw that.

Such a stunning tarantula. Looks absolutely beautiful in the natural light. wow.
It was pretty brave of you to handle that P. Regalis. They can have a really nasty bite.
I've been bitten by one.
Not a pleasant experience, as it has even puzzled doctors here in Australia (Many).
Took 1 Year and 6 blood tests to find out.
Now I'm an Arachnophobe
Cant believe how chill it is... mins the complete opposite.. just have to look at it and it scarpers.
that is one happy spider at the end 😜
Most likely the best photo I've ever taken! instagram.com/p/70DM8XD1iX/

The Tarantula Looks So Calm
2:21 - it looks like it stretched out and started to relax, like it ’s feeling safe and content. It seems cool hanging out with you, hahaha
Beautiful t mate absolutely gorgeous glad you got to film with such an amazing creature awesome content as per usual
tanto buscaba videos así alfin encontré un canal sobre Tarántulas Felicidades no abandones este canal mete más cosas sobre insectos
This species is usually a lot meaner than that. He is truly lucky to have found one with such a calm temperament.
I’m afraid of spiders, but the big ones intrigue me and P. Metallica is the most beautiful in my book.
Yes, I realize that this is P. Regalis.
This spider did the happy dance on your shirt how cute 😁
I was so flattered by it.
Wow, what a gorgeous spider! I did NOT know they could jump like that. Kind of unnerving, but very cool.

Ive never seen a tarantula jump like that before holy shit.. stunning
That's brave handling that species,they have nasty venom with a very painful bite.
The giant jumping spider
One of the most buetifulle tarantula in the world i like poeciloteria !!! Methalica , regualise , miranda etc ... wow so niceee
This is not good idea because this spider is very toxic but is as beautiful as ornata or metallica :)
I love spiders but I never would take any peocilotheria in my arms!
Absolutely beautifull spider!
Hiking guide: Why do you have a tennis racket?
Me: I watched this on video ...
She is absolutely stunning wow...
Oh my god them legs!!!! Love that creature, proud p metallica owner here, givin you p regalis props bro
Once Kept. P. Regalis, P. Metallica, other Poecilotheria sp. should NOT be touched. One bite causes swelling, extreme pain and death
They can't kill you, although with the pain you'd probably wish you were dead. No human death has ever been recorded from a tarantula bite.
1:22 The Tarantula Wants A Hug!
This kind seem to move so much differently than the New World ones...more stealthy.
reminds me of queen gohma. the beautiful ones are the scariest.
Queen Gohma from the Deku Tree? That thing used to freak me out as a kid.
Ahh perfect, I've got a gbb sling that is currently nameless and it's sibling is named Kokiri. Don't know why I didn't think of naming my second gbb Gohma!
World's largest jumping spider
She’s beautiful!!. She’s living art. Seems fairly docile too❤️
What a beautiful spider..
I'm sure most guys would imagine this spider jumps over face
I usually try to handle them sitting near the ground low or over the grass or carpet in case of a jump or fall. Be careful please.
this is full contact. but dangerous, poison is extremely toxic) respect!
I appreciate your respects. Others call me very bad names!
Beutiful spider, it's my favorite and poecilotheria mettalica
That big ass spider jumped.
This guy has balls.This one is toxic ass hell.
Imagine your sleeping and you wake up, then this thing jumps from the ceiling to your face!
Thatd be a blessing
I STILL believe that while these spiders are walking around on our hands they're trying to figure out a way to eat you
I don't think so! More like a way to get out of there. Good for them that the handling only goes on for a few minutes.
those old worlds are pretty but they pack a punch if they bite (and they often do)
Arachnids are very intelligent creatures, even more so then humans.
I'll tell you all right now, that if the spider thought or knew that the human was a threat to it, it would have bite him.

its a new age tarantula they rarely ever bite
Yeh she leans back,but jumps quickly after ! Doesn't really give you enough warning,as she's made her mind up that she's going to go for it 😁
I think I would’ve just fainted after seeing that particular one jump if I was there

Mostly, when you stay calm, most Spiders are handable. You are nothing more than a warm, squishy Tree to them. Except the African once...

Beautiful! Aside from lunging at prey, I've never seen on jump before...

Great video, and absolutely stunning tarantula :):)
That is bigger than I expected it to be
There are even bigger ones 😬
you're a brave man
so pretty! the part when its about to jump is so cute!!!
Christ I shouldn't have watched this before bed.
It's to late
You shouldn’t be holding it so far from the ground. It could die if you dropped it.
My regalis is so agressive can't even touch her
The fucking thing jumps...jesus.
Handling T's like this is incredibly irresponsible, a fall from that height would kill it.
😂😂😂 Wouldn't Kill, this Arboreal Spider!

@@_Renduren_ Pokies, are agile, they Jump from Trees, in the Wild!
@@_Renduren_ That being said, I certainly don't recommend handling them!
