one minute in and I already learned I definitely pronounce Xenesthis wrong lol
That makes two of us 🤣
tarantula species/genus name pronunciation - another podcast idea :P
@@birdspiders any podcast. Just keep them coming 😁
Tarantula kat I watch and enjoy all your videos
Hi cat
I've watched this multiple times, not sure why I haven't commented before but..thank you so much for this!
Xenesthis's in general are one of my dreams to have some day. With how expensive they are, it's a nice confidence booster getting information about care from someone trustworthy like Tom and you. 🖤
Thank you so much for this!! I’ve been waiting for a decent Xenesthis husbandry video!
much appreciated, cheers man!
It really does have me Godsmack on how beautiful and gorgeous the colours of some of the world's tarantulas, especially for an animal that half the world population fears, I can't think of any other inhabitant of our land with such an array of vibrant colours, even our birds don't really match it. Absolutely amazing! thank you for your video.
X Sp is one of the most attractive T's for sure.
I've an intermedia now. Funnily enough at about an inch and a half it stays out in the open all the time. It filled in the starter burrow I made for it (it's on 3 inches of substrate) and stays out in the open all day and night. Eats well and has molted without issue. Very excited to see how it looks as it ages.
yup, my Xenesthis are a lot out in the open - they do retreat if you disturb them to much but other than that, very present in their enclosure
I got 2 X.intermedia slings at 2 inches and both of them immediately burrowed and I only see them when they are hungry and standing at the burrow entrance
@@billstokesbary6143 funny that they're the same species but are behaving so different
@@johnroughneen3585 Right? It's just the intermedia though, my X.sp. blue and X.immanis don't burrow at all and hang out at the entrance to their cork bark hide
Do X Intermedia require more humidity than the rest of the NW T's except for Theraphosa?
I've been waiting for this, thank you =)
glad you touched on eating habits when considering beginner species. it bothers me when people recommend aphonopelmas and grammostolas as good beginners because they're terrible eaters and stress new people out by fasting for long periods.
cheers mate!
Really appreciate your content..all the information is presented in a easy to understand format along with really incredible footage 😄
Ohhh! X sp blue 😍 my favorite 💕💕
Thank you. Just got an X immanis sling. It’s a helpful video. Thanks!!
I'm getting a xenesthis blue female next month so this video was really helpful! Thanks so much!
Love your channel btw🤗
much appreciated! all the best to Norway fellow tarantula keeper :)
Very cool mate. I love ur channel
I've been waiting for this video for months!!!
hope it gives a brief overview atleast, enjoy
Really nice video, I´ve been waiting for this one.. I have 6 Xenesthis SP Blue slings, I hope now to do everything right. Thanks man, cheers from Brazil
Fantastic info!
Brilliant,,really enjoy your talks,,👍👍🏴
I definitely enjoyed your delivery of information. I have a xenesthis intermedia and have had a hard time finding experienced keeper relayed info.
Very handsome too 🙃
Great video as always
thank you!
Danke für die super Videos 👌
Very informative, thanks and more power :)
Amazing video, thankyou for this one
cheers mate!
Great Video thanks.
Im new to Tarantulas, but I own about 5 slings and a semi adult, i have a Xenesthis Immanis that about 2 inches long, and luckily I've managed to keep it nice and happy! It just molted a few days ago and its colors are slowly coming in!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video
thank you!
Excellent informative video, I love the genre of the xenesthis has a great variety of subspecies I only have 3 at the moment but I hope to have all of them some day, greetings from Colombia
cheers to Colombia! Thanks for watching!
I love the detail of information you always provide. In terms of scientific enlightenment I realy love your channel. Also for the beautiful footage you provide us with. Keep up the excellent work.
thanks Christoph! not fully happy with it, but it is getting better, slow but steady
@@birdspiders Everthing good needs time invested into it and I always see well invested time in your content. Im looking forward to your next upload. :)
great video! I've been waiting for months to get a more detailed guide on this species since i always wanted one of these. Do you own a Xeneshtis sp. bright? Would you mind doing a video for this species as well?
Very cool, thanks Martin for sharing. I am looking forward to the genus revision :-) And hoopefully there will be also a revision of Pamphobeteus...cheers.
hope so too!
X sp blue is my favourite speicies too. I like all Xenesthis sp though
They would also be mine if they weren't one of THE nastiest of hair kickers.
Amazing video 👍👍👍
thank you bud!
First📍
Nice video💗
awesome!
Thank you for sharing this video
From:philippines
Much appreciate the information. I have X.immanis,X.intermedia and X.sp.blue slings/juvies and getting info on these guys hasn't been easy to get.
Stunners
they truly are
I know its an older video but i watched several times already and i am not sure if the same info would apply for x. sp tenebris? I am getting one and info would be greatly apreciated. Awesome videos as well. A collection update would be great. Keep up the good work
Doing some research for my own UA-cam channel and I am wondering if you can give a little more details on the mountain ranges where the Xenesthis blue originated from. I have been looking for information on this species for months and there really isn’t a whole lot out there. I am hoping to start up my channel with a husbandry and care video of those species as I am absolutely in love with this species
I really appreciate your comment, but sadly I can't provide you with more details about the locality of these species. Good luck with your project and your research, you can do it 💪
Nice, looks like a cannabis leaf on the carapace
Martin I have a question thats Ive wanted to know for ages and maybe you will know the answer. When a tarantula moults and regenerates a leg it lost, just before the moult, where is the new leg? because all its other legs are inside the legs they are replacing, but the new leg doesnt have an old leg for it to be inside. so where is it?
You are so brave, half a minute and I already have shivers!!!
I really like your videos and I'm following you for 2 years now. I have seen that you don't use coconut fiber aa supstrate as I like to stay away from it. Can you tell me what kind of supstrate are you using for your bioactive enclosures? I am trying to make a nice mix that is good for the burrows, plants, etc... Keep up with the good work!
Got here coz of Schizo-PelmaTV. Awesome channel! ❤
Would you say this would be the same care as the sp bright?
i suggest make a collection tour for next video.. i think you have a lot of tarantula.
I saw your video for 3rd time and I just bought female and male 🥰
congrats !!!
Perfect timing! We just ordered our first X. sp. “blue” and had prepared a humid setup. Saw this a day before it arrives. Love your videos. They’re the only way us advanced keepers can get good new information in video form- at least that I’m aware of. 💜🕷😊
How'd your Sp. Blue like its humid setup?
I am getting my new sling xenesthis intermedia, would you say they have a blue coloring on the legs.
What kind of altitude did you find these at mate. Looks quite similar habitat to the Pamphobeteus ultramarinus we found at 2500m asl in Ecuador. Maybe not quite a dry. As we found cacti and succulents there.
not as high as P. ultramarines - but a lot of cacti for sure!
i now want one
who does not :)
Do you know if Xenesthis sp. bright comes from a tropical lowland rainforest or an arid mountainous forest? I gotta say the genus is rather confusing
Do you have orphnaecus sp or phlogiellus baeri??? I just wanna know more about them.
Please don't take this the wrong way. I think your videos will do better if you show more b roll while you explain things. Less person, more T. 🙂
The footage was awesome and your Ts are beautiful!
indeed, depending on how much footage I have, the video will be different :)
So the question of the day moistire substrate or not.....?
Wait, why is it not safe to go to Columbia? I was just there on vacation last year, and I'm thinking of retiring there. It's gorgeous, and the people are awesome.
the place where Xenesthis sp. blue is found, not the whole country of course
As slings and juvi. Is it best to keep them dry or more humid?
always keep slings and juveniles on the moist side or atleast give them more humidity - otherwise they dry out quickly. Underneath rocks is always quite some humidity present, even when it's hot and dry
Hi from Ukraine, Martin. Thank you for your video. I've just bought my X.immanis female. Do these two species share a habitat? Have you ever met X.immanis not far from Xenesthis sp. Blue? Do they like rocks too?
they like rocks too :)
but they are not from the same habitat, but there are rocks in both. You can use more plants on X. immanis for sure
I have a xensthis sp light bloom but not seen many videos off that type
never heard of that species before
@@birdspiders that's what I have on the tank when I got it and it is beautiful it is
Trying to find a sling in Germany... any suggestions?
Quick question - regarding sp. Bright - should they be kept more arid, or moist? Thanks
I don't know much about sp. Bright, ideally ask a seller or breeder of this species, they should know
@@birdspiders Thanks
What's the altitude this species are found ? Also nearest city or region of columbia?
confidential information, I'm sorry - this species needs protection as it's highly endemic
This is all i need to sleep
haha no action , good night
@@birdspiders great content sir! Maybe ill document some wild tarantulas here in the philippines maybe after this pandemic, maybe ill start with the orphnaecus philippinus and then orphnaecus panay blue!
Nice video .... Please traslate to spanish....
Bought a Xenesthis sp. blue from fear not tarantula a month ago, already in pre moult.
I bought mine from fear not one month ago too, and mine just got into premolt yesterday too hahahaha I have your sister/brother!
Of course not for beginners!😄
When you have undescribed species in the hobby and they get called things like like Xenesthis sp "White", if theyre undescribed is it really valid to even say they are Xenesthis? If theyve been studied enough to say they are definitely in that genus, how come they didnt get a species name too?
They dont get a species name because collectors that smuggle in spiders are not taxonomists. Its not easy to describe a new species as there is a lot of things to do and criteria to meet.
@@Terrovax thats what I mean. so the label "Xenesthis" for the unsubscribed species is just a guess based on their superficial appearance then? if they havent been properly described, who decided what genus they are?
genus definition is most of the time way easier, especially for well defined genera. So in that case of Xenesthis, new species of tarantulas can be matched on a specific genus by examining the relevant features for the placement of said species within a genus. Thats why the genus name is known, but the species is not - it could be a new species of the genus, but the same species as another one in the genus, this riddle can only be solved by comparing these specimens to each other. The general consensus of the genus will remain the same though, since they are closely related and match the genus definition. Check out our video on that topic, genus & species explained
This is tarantula dan right?
no lol
