I'm one of many, many people who have been uncomfortable around spiders but have used UA-cam content to desensitise. Channels like this, which educate and show the breathtaking beauty of these misunderstood species, are gold. Thanks.
Thank you Catherine! This means a lot to me
This was very well done. Love seeing these animals in their natural environment.
much appreciated!
This channel deserves more🙂.
The markings and colors of the P subfusca are so amazing
wait only 23k subscriders and youre the guy that makes travel blogs on Tarantulas from around the world?? Something isn't right here.
exactly!
Agreed.
thank you all for your support!
23k Plus one guys ... Hello everybody !!!!!
This channel should be in 100s of thousands of subs. Best content out there
ha that would be nice! Then there would be even more videos out there with wild tarantulas :)
Best thing to do with tarantulas is let them live in their natural environment. Appreciate them for their uniqueness, even their beauty, and let them live the way *they* want to live.
thats true when their natural environment still exists :)
Super interesting channel! Thanks a lot!! Hope you get more subscribers - your content truly deserves it! Tarantulas = 💕💕💕💕
This is probably of my favorite Spiders Chanel ..
Two of my three faves 🙌🏾 awesome video!!
love your style to create youtube documentaries top ^^
thanks a lot mate!
This channel is so underrated, thank you so much for this incredible video.
Beautiful tarantulas!
Another Great video 💥
Awesome video as usual.
You do wonderful work and the footage of the Ivory Ornamental is to die for!
thank you! a encounter I will never forget - the colors were stunning and we found a very healthy population!
Wow... why are all of the Men of these Tarantula UA-cam Channels so attractive... like seriously, you are an extremely beautiful man x
- I really enjoyed this video. These Tarantula species are so interesting. It’s strange that there are these alien type creatures wandering around our Planet. It makes the World feel all the more bigger. Thank you for sharing the wonderfully interesting world of Tarantulas.
Also, I love your accent so much xx
Awesome video
what beautiful creatures! 😊
This was a great video !!!! Loved it !!! Greta job martin and team
Thanks mate!
Any way you could do a tutorial video on how you guys set up tanks for these Asian fossorials? Size, depth of soil, dimensions, etc, and how you go about keeping humidity high while deterring bacteria growth would be amazing.
I like cobalt blue my dream collection!
I just found your channel! It was recommended by the Tarantula Collective. I'm glad to find you so that I can learn more about tarantulas. Great channel. :)
welcome Terri! send Richard my best wishes 🥳🍻
I love the blue one ❤️✌️
Great content sir keep it up, from philippines
Enjoyed your video very much and like the way you show us the Tarantulas in their true habitats.
thank you Ed!
Sehr interessant! I bi hüt über DI kanau gstouperet und finde dini Videos Phantastisch!
danke dier :)
I absolutely love the art you make with these videos! We all must do everything that we can to protect these species! Keep up the fantastic work that you do!
much appreciated Trevor!
This was an amazing video. Thanks for all your hard work to produce for our enjoyment
Wooooooow that fantastic blue
indeed, the most blue one I ever saw
As always, very enjoyable and informative video, I have to admit, like most people I guess, I'm very jealous of you, being able (when no pandemic around that is) to go to these countries and film and photograph these T's in the wild. Keep up the great work.
don't be jealous mate! We only show the best on the channel, there are downsides aswell - we hope to bring joy to everyone as we know that it's not possible for all of us to travel around. Thank Sean, much appreciated!
Man the effort you put in into this videos are insane, thank you for sharing those cool Ts and documenting it. Quality video!
much appreciated, thank you!
Glad that youre uploading new vids lately sir! I always enjoy watching your content
thanks!
3:18 its missing a leg! Oh no, its just epic camo!
Love the work you are doing.
Thank you!
Hi. In 2003, I actually discovered a new species in Thailand which was very similar, if not identical to Ornithoctonus aureotibialis. The main difference was that this new species is what is termed a ‘dwarf species’. The taxonomy was undertaken by Volker Von Wirth. He named it Ornithoctonus sp. ‘Koh Samui’ as that was where I discovered it.
great news!
Great Video!
thanks Victoria!
I absolutely adore your Videos. Keep up your great educational work
cheers mate 💪💪
I love your documentaries. It helps spread awareness about tarantula habitat and their behaviour in wild. Please keep up your good work. We appreciate it.
thank you Andrew, much appreciated!
Top 1 fave tarantula channel!❤
thanks mate!
Very informative video, love the footage of tarantulas in their natural habitat. Subscribed to your channel!
thank you Maria! much appreciated :)
Love your channel and still amazes me that you don't have more subscribers. Quality content with a wealth of knowledge.
thanks Nick! don't know - the videos seem to not be so interesting since a lot of them are not watched through :D
Poecilotheria metallica would of been an excellent choice too. Just saying, hunting and Deforestation has pushed this species hard. I have one atm a juvenile female and I'm working on breeding her. One Dat hopefully people like myself are asked to reintroduce them into the wild. Honestly looking for your picks now on the market just for this reason 🤔
Those road side embankment enclosures are really cool. I'll definitely build some of those 🔥🔥🔥
Thnx im going to try and find new species in RD and i am afraid of them but i like to look and see.
Intresting channel dude. I was just wondering do you keep liphistius aswell?
Great tarantula channel! I've had pet tarantulas dating back to 1977 ( a Brachypelma hamorii named "Spot"!), at the height of my mania one whole room of my house was devoted to them. I got out of the hobby for ten years or so, but I'm recently back. Love your videos!
thanks Stefano! much appreciated - enjoy!
thanks for sharing ! your efforts are all worth it. u deserve more subs . wish u will also do a tour of Ts species or normal Ts vids like others do w.in ur rm. nc collections back there lol i mean i just want to take a peek on those enclos HAHA
thank you!
Hi Martin.Once again superb videos.
The information you offer us,the epic quality of your videos,your knowledge coupled with a really nice way of putting things is much appreciated.
Your channel fills a void for many of us all over.
I'd say most of us will never be able to travel to Southeast Asia,or South America,or Indonesia on a safari like trip to see these animals in their environments.
My question for you is while A. seemanni and its other genus members find roadside embankment convenient,there has to be many more living in that tropical forest habitat....no?
On a broader scale.....stay with me on this.....is it a bit limiting for ALL of us to assume many of these tarantulas are so specialized they cannot adapt to less than ideal living conditions?
I have not yet entered the "T" hobby yet so granted I have no practical experience.
However,I have caught,kept,and bred snakes since I was 10 years old.
I had the boas, pythons,and many snakes found here in the States along with turtles,frogs,toads.
I caught spiders at a very early age just not tarantulas.
I've watched your videos,Tom Morans,Richard Stewarts,Morita videos too.
What I see is very varied temperatures,rain bordering on monsoons and floodings,extreme humidity,extreme dry,and rapidly changing temp drops in the desert.
Yet......these tarantulas,snakes,etc.......survive.
Is it possible we all are not giving these animals enough credit for surviving unstable habitats.
I can't speak for SE Asia,Africa,Indonesia,Malaysia but in Central and South America you have rainy seasons,dry seasons, and even in any given country both conditions in the upper quarter and/or southern quarter.
Now,taken all that in.......I can see if a person takes a tarantula OUT of its environment no matter which country and now attempts to house it inside,of course you'd want to duplicate its surroundings, BUT what about captive raised right from the egg?
That is a FAR different animal altogether is it not?
This animal has not seen its homeland,so who's to say it should be kept just like where it came from?
Clearly,in nature, God,in His infinite wisdom,gave these animals the ability to adapt and survive,otherwise they'd be extinct.
As an example,I see the guys on You Tube putting vermiculite,coconut fiber,peat moss and mixes of the three into their tarantulas cages....right?
None of these are "natural" to a tarantula.
Yet,how many complaints have I heard about mushrooms and mold etc from them all with these
products?
Tons !!!!!
What's wrong with simple topsoil found in a forest providing there is no insect spraying going on in the area?
I haven't seen peat moss,coconut fiber or vermiculite on ANY of your videos across the world.
I saw hard clay type soil, topsoil,and a mix of sandy and topsoil on your trips abroad.
So my question is this,are we overthinking the care?
What's good for a wild caught specimen,may not be good for a egg raised captive specimen.
No?
I hope I was able to come across well.
Good job and keep up the work.
Have you made any full length documentaries? Your dedication is inspiring.
Thanks a lot!
Not at the moment.. no
I had the H MINAX few years back the Thailand 🇹🇭 black 🕷🕸
they are awesome!
Nice
thanks!
i keep all my asian fossorials in a roadside embankment style enclosure, it seems to work out pretty well (got the idea from this channel).
thanks!
@@birdspiders whats that setup? I have many asian earth tigers
mega gueti videos vo dir ;) wiiter so
dankä Balu :)
I didn’t know cobalt blues were endangered
they kind of are, so many collected for souvenirs and for export while at the same time the habitat gets reduced
I have a COREMIOCNEMIS Tropix
Juvenile in my collection, it's light grey in colour so far. It originated from Queensland, Australia. We only have one species of that genus hear, that im aware of. Pretty cool though, thanks.
sadly not many Australian tarantulas left in the pet hobby - the legal exports did not lead to a lot of successful breeding... only some adult specimens left but sadly no males
sri lanka and india need to do more to help their wild tarantulas. at least mexico has a breeding program to reduce wild catching.
Sri Lanka has it protected, but India not really.... lets hope its possible to preserve the natural environment - we all play a role in this
Love your channel helps me a lot making my enclosures
thanks Julius!
Can you do a video as well on endangered new worlds
as soon as we have documented some in the wild 💪
I life ini malaysia but in market tarantula malaysia no sale the hoggi tarantula oh i think that all be cook aready cause some aboriginal in forest eat this one......
Just breaks my heart. I would love to breed and see if it would be possible to re-introduce the captives into the wild. It is just a shame that most of these places aren't doing anything to help keep their homes there in the first place. So until then, I just hope we can keep breeding in captivity for preservation.
I have 39 spiderlings of cobalt blue❤️
nice!
Thank you for this video. This needs more views, we need to protect me :(
cheers Manny!
Great info , is it normal for anything to end up on cites without involving the scientific community
no, scientists are usually involved in that political process. Ask 100 scientist, get 100 different opinions :-)
The enclosure of your O.aureotibialis is so beautiful! 👌
thanks Karl!
What is the difference between old world and new world tarantulas?
The two biggest differences I can easily explain are where they are from, and whether they have urticating hairs or not.
1. New worlds are from North, Central, and South America; old worlds come from anywhere else.
2. New worlds *generally* have urticating hairs and less potent venom, whereas old world Ts _do not_ have urticating hairs and have more potent venom. There are exceptions, of course, but this holds true for the majority.
Hope that helps. Cheers!
decent summary right there, nothing to add and helps gets you started to gather more info on them, Thanks to Dora!
💙🧡🤎
Hi Martin. Endangered? What data are available that support this classification? Endangered species list do not work at all if one considers all the habitats being constantly polluted and devasted by local population and international corporations for many years now. CITES and other similar lists therefore cannot work because they do not address there real underlying causes. But of course, on the surface it seems to the normal people that officials really care. Do they really care? Or do they want us to believe they really care?
I think we have the same opinion here ;)
I've always thought that P. Metallica are more endangered in the wild.
I love old worlds
awesome!
@@birdspiders Do check ur insta dm buddy @arachno_arnab sent you pictures of my old world Tarantula of Chilobrachys genus
Those Asian tarantulas always seem so feisty, LOL
they for sure have an attitude!
Shout out to all Filipino keepers. Where yall?
cheers Anthony! where you all at?!💪💪
sakalam
Terrible slang
