Hahaha! Nice intro man! Glad you like the stuff! I really like the new logo! Great video!
Thanks Richard. Glad you liked the intro. So you down for the new logo? :)
I have an H chilensis adult female who is now around 15 yrs old :) I heard you can easily get 20-30 yrs out of them
Hey Tarantula kat, I am great fan of yours. Nice to see that you keep up with the channels of other hobbyists. I am looking into getting h. Chilensis and it's good to know that this species can get that old. I obtained a pink zebra beauty because of how long lived they are. Tarantulas that live long is a thing for me. After four years she is finally having an abdomen as wide as a fingernail. You got to have patience with slow growers lol. Anyhow, it was nice to discover you're comment here.
I like the old logo!
Thank you Dulce. Another vote for original! :)
Watching this the day after Halloween and I had to triple take that upload date because it totally looked like you were tarantula collective for Halloween lol!
Hey Alex! Thanks for the shout out, as for the logo, honestly I prefer the old one as logos are better to be with less detail and adding the small but to it wouldn't make too much of a difference in my opinion. As for the shirts I'd say printful but for that you need a website or an etsy store which really wouldn't be bad in your case , I use their shirts for my shop and I stick to bella canvas and gildan
You're welcome. I haven't looked into printful. I do have a website although I keep neglecting it and I do have an etsy so I'll definitely look into it. Gildan shirts are nice. Thanks for the advice. :)
I like the simplicity of the old logo
So about C. elegans.
I have raised one since it was so tiny I had to use magnifying glass, I even prekilled fruit flies at the very beginning, cause they are really tiny as slings, mine was about 5mm.
I have about 20 - 22 degrees, so not very hot and I keep them in quite dry substrate. They both seem to be doing great.
I like the old logo to!!!
Its your mascote dont change it is like your signature
Keep up the good work and greatings from Portugal
Thank you for creating new content about dwarf tarantulas!
Hey Alex! Just a heads up - Colombia (2 Os) is the country, and the name of the tarantula. Columbia (with a U) is the District in the USA where the White House is. Common mistake but worth knowing!
Doh! I always misspell that and I make it a point to double check myself. I was rushing to get this one out and I overlooked it. Thanks for the heads up. Too late to change it now but I'll be more alert next time. XD
I learned something new today, I didn't know that about the spelling
dwarve tarantulas definitely need more love 💕 and you chose nice species, H chil and D diamant and P patch are some of my favourites even tho theyre little
but omg youre so right the most difficult thing is feeding the very very small slings I have some atm that are just so tiny, Neostenotarsus sp. suriname, Ami sp. panama and Bonnetina cyaneifemur and theyre like 3-5mm and so easy to lose even in the smallest spider pots I have and they all need pre-killed prey which I hate doing 😢 I will be glad when theyre bit bigger and can have normal feeding
😷
I think they're pretty cool. Space savers too if you live in small apartment or have limited space where you can keep your pets. I had a Neischnocholus sp. panama for like 3 weeks but unfortunately it didn't make it. I chose it as a freebie from fearnottarantulas so it didn't hurt so much but I sure did want to grow that baby up. Hopefully in my new room I can keep things warmer and not worry so much about losing tiny specimens like that.
I love dwarfs and I have these:
Cyriocosmus elegans 0.1.1
Homoeomma orellanai 0.1
Hapalopus sp. Colombia "large" 2.1
Neoholothele incei "gold" 0.0.1
Harpactira sp Golden Black
The following ones can be debated, but at that size they are considered dwarfs generally.
Harpactira pulchripes 1.0
Ceratogyrus brachycephalus 0.0.1
Ceratogyrus darlingi 0.0.1
Davus pentaloris 0.1
I’m loving the dwarfs myself. Debating which to get.
I LOVE the D. diamantinensis! I saw your rehousing video some time back and HAD to get 2 juveniles. Over the summer they both matured and I had a pair! I now have several slings from that pairing, and though he passed within weeks, she is still going and was recently paired with another male.
Bobbi Merritt Oh wow! So lucky! I haven’t had a single male mature yet and I’ve had them for a while!
@@TarantulaHaven I got the pair for $150, I couldn't pass it up!
Great job. May I suggest using a soft paintbrush. They react better and see it as less of a threat
Hi Alex, my favourites are dwarfs!! Absolutely love ❤️ them, can’t find the Chilean Flame 🔥 yet in the UK I WOULD LOOOOOVVVVEEEE ONE!! Absolutely love your channel especially the taxidermy xx
I got the Klein!! They are beautiful and hardy!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have 8 my husband bought me 3 for Valentine’s Day 🤩🤩🤩🤩 ( love their little heart butts.
Another great video in the books! I was on the fence about abbing a dwarf to the collection but I think I might have to after watching this. And I like the old logo. I think it fits you and your channel perfectly.
Thank you. You should get a dwarf! They're pretty great. I would go for the hardy ones for your first and those are the most fun anyway. :) thanks for the feedback on the logo. :)
Alex I really like your original logo but the new one is awesome as far as the red and all so I guess the new one as it pops more !!
I got my first dwarf tarantula as a freebie from an order I made. It was a K. Brunnipes and the size of the sling really threw me off! It was almost hard to find it was so small, and having never dealt with a sling that small before I had to contact the breeder for tips on how to feed and care for a sling that was so small. As it turns out it is super simple and they are very strong little spiders. I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone!
"Large, hairy, and imposing..." I hear that all the time. 🤣
intro was awesome
I don't have too much dwarf species, a d.diamantinensis which I only got 2 months ago and so I can't say much about her yet, two c.elegans and a c.perezmilesi. The latter one I'd recommend better since she rules out all the disadvantages of c.elegans. More often on display, less skittish, no hair kicking, inquisitive, more webbing... Might be just her individual traits though :)
When I first saw someone write about colombia sp. klein I thought youtube translated some titles (which it does at random and partially) since klein means small in my language :D You've just killed my doubts about that. It's a species I've been having on my to-do list for quite some time but I always found something with higher priority. But on the list still, some day I'll get one!
About your logo, I personally like the old one better. Reasons are pretty much the same as Karlo Turic stated below.
I favor your channel out of everyone's channel you really give good facts and ideas and you make it super easy for somebody to choose the right tarantula for them I give you more than five stars 🙌🏼✌🏼
Alex I bought a bed set from him !! They are gorgeous
Thanks for sharing your video on Dwarf Tranchulas! I one day would like to own a little dwarf but I just am so busy with stuff. But great info on them.
I like your old style logo.
I love the new one! Much more realistic but not so different that we wouldn't recognize Tarantula Haven!
I like both
My favourite dwarf T is the Trinidad olive but I really like your Trinidad tiger
I'll have to look into that one. :)
@@TarantulaHaven the scientific name is Neoholothele Incei
Hi Alex they are beautiful dwarf Tarantulas thanks for showing them to us Dude, as for your logo's i like them both but i do like the new logo best cause it has a bit more to it and i do love the red on the abdomen, but it's up to you which one you go for. 😎👍
I love the old logo.....
Thank you. Vote counted. :)
Wow those drawings are so awesome! I didn’t know he is such a talented artist as well!
Great video, love my dwarf T’s ❤ a couple there that I didn’t know, and definitely some to look out for 😍
Nice selection I have a dwarf chestnut aka h villosella yes it's an old world baboon not at all defensive the colours and the pattern is stunning.
I love the old logo!
Definitely change it
Nice beautiful tarantul broo 😍😍
Awesome video. I just picked up 3 Brazilian Blue Dwarfs at .25 last week and can't wait for them to put on some size. Let the waiting game commence.
Sweet! Don't worry, they'll put on color quick and the little take-downs! They'll take down a roach nymph the same size they are like nothing! Have fun. Old or new logo?
@@TarantulaHaven I do like the newer logo. I like the more detailed but simple look and the addition of the abdomen but I'm going to miss that blockhead in the original.
I vote for the new logo. Tough choice though.
I'm so glad you had the Homoeomma Chilensis and said how old yours is. Gives me an idea what to expect. My sling is about 9 months old and still so tiny. Wish I could buy more but like you said they are hard to find.
Brilliant selection! I have all of these and by far the Cyriocosmus Bicolor is the most interesting. Although the Dolichothele Diamentinensis is beautiful, the Bicolor is very fun to keep and keeps me on my toes, often bolting out of the enclosure and throwing threat poses, despite being 1.5-2 inches lol
Recently got my first T's. Also thanks to you're informative vids. I'm starting with slings, have my 2 T Vagans's now and allready 4 more incoming. Thanks for all the content and info! And love youre new T room #jealous
Btw, I kinda like the old logo...... :)
Congrats on your first T's. Good choice. What are your 4 new ones? Thank you for your feedback on the logo. That seems to be the general consensus, most people like the original. :)
@@TarantulaHaven got 2x G pulchripes and 2 B Albipolosum coming in this week 😁😁 happy keeping! And keep up the good work! Love your content
I got a H. species Columbia Lg last July. It has to have been 2nd instar. It stayed in its little dram vial for a couple months and then I moved it up to a big dram vial. Now it’s sitting at about an inch and a half and it will destroy large crickets!
They sure are feisty little guys. I feel stupid for avoiding them for so long. :)
The only time I ever had a T escape was my Hapalopus sp. Colombia. I didn’t even realize it had got out till the next morning. I had its enclosure on my bedside table and I rolled over in the morning to pick up my glasses and it was sitting on top of them! I put it back in its home and never had any problems since then. It must have bolted while I opened it up to feed. I opened it and then walked away to grab the roach
Sneaky little devils. Glad you got it back. I've read so many stories of people having them wriggle through holes in the enclosures. I was worried mine would do that because they were so small. They're too fat to get through there now. So do you like the original logo or the new?
Tarantula Haven I like the old one better I think. It must just be because that’s what I’ve associated with the channel for as long as I’ve followed you. Where did you get your D. Diamantinensis? I’ve been looking for them forever
To be dead honest, when I heard you were changing your logo I panicked thinking I'd lose my favorite part - the swirly eyes! Haha! The old one is great because it always gave me the old halloween goofy plastic spider vibes, and as others pointed out the simplicity makes it easier for printing, watermarks, and monocrome. The new one, however, isn't that much more complicated and would work just as well so long as you made sure that the red/orange and purple were still distinguishable as different colours when desaturated. Both are still whimsical and help make them far less scary than some of us are taught to think, which is something the poor critters really need to win over the hearts of us arachnophobes, and to me that's probably the most important part. :)
Thank you for the feedback. I think I'm forgetting why I made my first logo look the way it did in the first place and you've pretty much put it into perspective. I wanted something that was unique, not scary, or a tarantula in a threat posture and I think your comment has put that back into perspective for me. Thank you so much for that. :)
Really tough choice but I will vote for the new one. I liked that you kept the eyes but made them better imo. Love the red hairs on the newly added abdomen, also. All in all, I think it goes well with your new T room.
I glad you made this video! I've always been a fan of the dwarfs, I'd have to say it was one of your videos where I saw the D. diamantinensis which I finally bought and I'm so excited! As for your logo I love your old one it's classic but the new looks good too if have to say keep the old.
I like the old logo. Great video.
Thank you! Another vote for original :)
nice video, thank you. Keep the old logo please.
Hey does anybody know where I could purchase a Chilean flame? Everyone seems to be out of stock
I like your old logo a lot more.
Thank you. Got your vote for original :)
I personally like your current logo but the new one is fine too. But I prefer the simplicity of the original logo.
Thank you for the feedback. Simple can be better. I think people prefer that since original is winning. I'm taking this as a vote for original?
@@TarantulaHaven yes I vote for the original.
Hey Alex! Thank you so much for posting your videos. Your excitement and charm about tarantulas finally gave me the push I needed to start the journey. Keep up the great work :D
I really like the new logo! Really gives it a nice look the little bit that you added to it!
Thank you for the feedback. Another vote for new logo. :)
I love dwarf tarantulas. I had a Colombia small. Unfortunately it matured out male at arround 8 months old. Thankfully my C.Elegans is female. I want to get some C.Giganteus.
I also like the original logo more than the new one.
Sad that Cyriocosmus gets most of the love. Nothing wrong with them, but Holothele longipes, Citharacanthus cyaneus, Pseudhapolopus sp. blue or colombia need more attention imo. First video of yours that I have watched. You have a nice laid back vibe. Thanks for the videos.
fullonsociopath I agree with you on Cyriocosmus unfortunately that is what I had. Pseudhapalopus sp. blue and colombia are both on my list to acquire.
About my laid back vibe, I get that a lot. Must be the California kid in me. 😂
Thanks for watching. 🤓👍🏼
My C elegans is a ferocious eater. Takes down prey larger than her (I think) Wax worms are a fave. Looking for a couple more to breed.
Mine has gotten picky now. She stays fat though. I need to find her a mate as well. :)
@@TarantulaHaven please if you find someone that's got some for sale and they're decent price let me know because they don't have a long life span and I would like to try breeding them at least once. I wish I had a way to send you a video I have of her taking down a wax worm I felt sorry for the worm!!!!
1st off, great video. I'm a dwarf fan myself. Like u said, starting out u just don't care for dwarfs. Ppl are really missing out. The personality that comes with a dwarf is like no other. 2nd, ur logo. I like the simple one. I didn't want u to change it UNTIL I seen the new one. I like the new one. I like the simple design so 8 was glad u didn't change the entire logo. Adding some color and the lines on the abdomen looks really nice. I say go for it 👍
Thank you. Yeah, I was feeling a need for a change but I didn't want to stray too far from the original. I may keep them both for my merch and have a classic and new logo shirts. XD So far most people are saying to stick with the original. :)
@@TarantulaHaven I wouldn't be mad if u stayed with the original. Just to be 100% honest, ur logo is one of my favorites out of all the UA-camrs. I'm a simple kinda guy though. 1st time I seen ur logo I laughed so hard. I thought it was super cool and funny. The eyes get me everytime 😁
I would have to say the old logo as well. Nice video by the way! 😊
Thank you. Original logo it is. :)
Great video and very informative.
Also, I like the old logo more.
Thank you. Got your vote for the original. :)
I will have a diamentawhatsis soon. Love them
Yes! You'll love it! :)
I like the new logo with the vector graphic but I would make it more simplistic as far as not so many colors and great detail. I would also change the typeface but of course that's just my two cents. :) As a graphic designer I would change and change and change until someone made me stop. LOL! Purple is great! Glad you kept it!
Thank you. I'll take that into consideration. I appreciate the feedback. :)
Keep the current one - saves you time and money. Better focus one high quality Merch👍🏻
Already put the time in on the new logo and I'm getting ready to switch over to a new company so it's gonna happen. I just wanted to confirm before I made the switch and started posting shirts with which logo. Another vote for original then. Thanks. :)
Tarantula Haven either way it will be fine 🤘🏻😌
I just love your videos! Thank you for making quality Tarantula content 💯🕷️❤️
I like both logos.. 😳
That doesn't help Karen. XD
Good video! I think both logos look good. The first original one has more of a retro vibe that I dig though.
Thank you! Old logo it is. :)
Love your channel! You should hang/ shelve some of your merchandise behind you as a backdrop for your videos! Also, the original logo is simplistic, reads well from a distance, and is easily scalable, so it is pretty solid as it is. However that new logo is more interesting while being similar enough to easily recognize, therefore if it isn't going to take massive effort, I would switch. But really your old one is fine! Keep it up!
Thank you. I'm trying to figure out what to add on my blank wall behind me. My wife says I should do a bulletin board and post artwork and stickers and things I get from fans on it. Thinking about doing that. The merch idea sounds good too though. Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it. So another vote for original. :)
Good video and very informational, as far as the logo.......... I’d say keep it as it is. The new one is good as well however this one is just you and I really like it.
Thank you. I'll put you down for the original logo. :)
Great video, lovely Ts. Personally I've got a bunch of dwarves in my collection, many of them on this list.
Awesome. I love my dwarves. I'm looking to get more. XD What's your vote, old logo or new?
@@TarantulaHaven i like the new logo showing off the abdomen. Both are rather nice but the added red on the new one is a great touch.
Hey Alex,
Can you tell me where you found this little purple LED light please? Or maybe someone else thx
I have a K. brunnipes sling, but I haven't found a lot of information about them, can you tell me how moist should the substrate be as a sling, juvie, and adult, please?
Thanks a lot
Manny
New logo!
I like the emojis with your face, they are cute. I am not sure about the logo. If you change it, my shirt with the current logo will unfortunately not be up to date any more. But I have to admit the new logo looks great! I like both, but maybe it is more common for logos to be a little less detailed? Well, I would be happy with both decisions.
LOL! I figure'd I'd take advantage of my iPhone memojis. You're right about logos being less detailed. So should I consider this a vote for original? :)
@@TarantulaHaven Yes, you could do that. Thanks for the response.
Great job as always brother! Great topic!
Thanks man. So which logo you prefer original or extra crispy? XD
Old logo has my vote!
Thank you. Got it. :)
I think I really like the old logo a little better. I certainly wouldn't change everything because the difference is slight, in my opinion. The only dwarf that I have an interest in is the former euathlus sp red. And that because of the friendly factor.
Thank you for the the feedback. H. chilensis is great but so sloooooooow to grow. They are sweet though. :)
I would stick with the old logo. The new one looks too much like a black window? I think if you run a poll on it you would get a much better response and idea.
The new one looks good!
Thanks. Another vote for new!
I like both logos honestly...
The new logo gives more shape to the tarantula but the old logo looks friendlier lol
Thank you for the feedback. Friendly is good. So is that a vote for original logo?
I like New but why can’t you have different types of the same logo? When you have a certain style even if you add colors or a different design it is still recognizable as your brand.
I like both logos, but go with the new logo. Always nice with a change
Thank you for the feedback. Yay! Another vote for the new. Old logo is winning though. XD
Great video, very in depth! Also I like the new logo a bit better, but just slightly.
Thank you. Thank you for the feedback too. So I'll take that as a vote for the new logo?
@@TarantulaHaven yeah a vote for the new logo from me.
The pumpkin patch was my very first t, and she has a heart on her butt
hi there i need some help. i have a baby curly haired tarantula i just brought home yesterday, and since then he will not come down from the roof of the cage. i have coco fiber as substrate and a hide for him aswell as a water bowl. i sprayed the one side so it’s super dry. Do i just leave him be and wait for him to come down? how will i feed him if he’s on the top of the lid?
Meanwhile now H. chilensis are $150-180 for a 1/4” sling.
I prefer the old logo although, do like both 🤷🏻♂️
It looks like a C. leetzi. I just posted a video with my elegance in it... and it looks different so one of us mismatched labels? I think I need to check lol
The old logo is you! Why change it would be my question for you? I like the goofy eyes on your logo. Great video and information on a few nice dwarfs.
So my vote is the old logo 👍
I prefer the old logo
Keep the old logo. That spider is so cute, I want to hug it. The other one's ok, but there's no reason to change a perfectly fine logo.
Thank you for the feedback. Another vote for original. It's looking like I may stay with the original. :)
What about sahydro. Raja?????
Hi! Thanks for interesting content nicely presented.
I would stay with the old logo. Like the simplicity. Nice and clear looking.
I really like the old logo. This may not make much sense because the old logo obviously isn't a realistic representation and has a lot of similar design elements, but something about that new logo comes across as too cartoony to me.
Got it. Thank you so much for the feedback. :)
Go with the new logo
Hi how are u doing I am Ejdge I had 3 tarantulas in my life so far I started when I was 32 yrs old now I am 56 yrs old 1st was a Mexican curly hair female she had a good demeaner alil
Nervous grew pretty big feet wise up to 5” 2nd was a Carbinia versacolor pinktoe turned out female lived from sling and grew I kept for alil over 14 yrs and now I have a BrachyPelma Smithi I purchased as but turned out a Mexican RedKnee female as a sling I was lucky to have a female over 25ft and still kicking a legspan 6 1/2” eating 12 large crickets she eats everyone of them I have her in a 10 gal with desert sand and a cave being she’s a dweller if anyone would like to do a project with me I am in Ct I am sure we can work something out
Not really into dwarves as of yet , although they are beautiful . Keep the old logo . And maybe brighten up your backdrop a little . Good video !
Thank you for the feedback. Another vote for original. If you're already keeping I would recommend you get a D. diamantinensis. Lots of fun and beautiful too. :)
I like both logos but the new one is sleeker I say go ahead and change :)
Thank you for the feedback. Another vote for change! XD
New logo
First finally, a new upload
LOL! I've had four consistent uploads since my What happened to Tarantula Haven video. ua-cam.com/video/pVHIPFc20WU/v-deo.html Although I'm not getting much love on my Tailless Whip Scorpion videos. I guess people don't care much for them. XD
I'm not sure if avicularia minatrix are considered dwarf but mine is still pretty tiny and I've had her for a while. But they keep their pink sling coloration so I'm not really waiting on anything other than a molt I can actually see well enough to sex 😂😂😂
I think they max out at 3 inches. I'm not sure if they technically consider it dwarf. I've never heard them called that even though some on my list reach three inches. So what about my logo, you think I should stick with the original logo or change to the new?
@@TarantulaHaven Honestly I'm pretty torn! They're both good lol. BUT the old logo will still exist in your old videos, and if you do switch over all of your merch to the new logo you could still occasionally do a special sale with old logo merch. Hmm... I say go with the new one!
I got my pumpkin patch for free after buying a GBB from fear not
