As much as I admire and take interest in spiders and tarantulas, they still terrify me...I felt so uncomfortable when Charlotte fell out, she's huge. I don't get how you stay so calm:')
Josh, I have T's because I am terrified of them. They sit near me and I slowly can lose my fear. When one escapes, I do my best to get it, but if not I holler for my wife to handle it. And she does... She handles all of our T's.
One of the things I love about your channel is that you use the common name too. For me, being a beginner, this matters. I used to sub a lot of channels for T's but if I don't know what someone is talking about I'm not sticking around. Too many people are tight-assed and look down on those who like to use the trade, or retail, names but it really helps. Thank you.
Wow, and I thought praying mantis was a boring, stick-like thing that had no character to it whatsoever. You can actually see it watching the prey, it's eyes appear to have a pupil and accomodate. Fucking hell! It's funny how the medium of sight makes one think differently about a creature. Just the fact that it mastered this sense makes it look like it possesses some primitive sort of intellect! That is so neat!
TarantulaAddict I have 3 tarantulas 2 females and 1 male one of my female is way bigger than charlotte seriously she is the breed is all Goliath bird eaters my male attacked my bigger female I don't know why but yea
I'm terrified by several of your critters but your voice is so nice and soothing to listen to, so I keep coming back despite the risk of nightmares. Have you considered reading books out loud? I'd love to just be able to listen to you read a nice story aloud.
oh my gosh you had me literally giggling with your description of the mantis and its just sitting there looking at the camera with big innocent eyes XD LOL
Happy holidays from Denmark! Good to see that the mantis has made a full recovery from the bad moult, and that Charlotte is doing great too. Charlotte seems to be due for a moult any month now, so let's hope it repairs a little more of her abdomen. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the new year.
Well, after having watched this particular video for the twelfth time, I've finally figured out why it enchants me so; apart from the overall pleasantries I now realize that Charlotte is absolutely endearing and she should have her own series. I'd buy the DVD's even. Thank you so much for making these awesome videos. 👍
I'm really loving your feeding videos and always admiring all your spiders mate they all beautiful this is actually helping people learn how to look after them and what type of food they eat keep up the great work

Chortle is huge! I couldn't deal with her, but I'm glad people like you exist. I used to be deathly afraid of all spiders, now I'm only scared of the ones that can kill me and are bigger than my hand.
Omg Charlotte was the best! She just wanted to take a stroll while munching..no biggie :))) Though i feared for her when she fell. But hey, now your bed is her bed :))) And the mantis! As much as it freaks me out, it's still so cute and funny.
Brilliant feeding video! You have some stunning Ts. I think I also need to invest in one of those mantids, they are an impressive species. Thanks for the upload :)
I love charlotte. she is so beautiful and very agile for a big girl. she can pretty much do what she wants like taking her lunch to go, I certainly wouldn't try to stop her! ha ha :)
WOW! your channel just came across my path on UA-cam. from Québec Canada, I enjoy your passion and commentary enjoy your videos very much new to your Channel. PS I have a fear of spiders and any Crawley creature that moves too fast for me that makes my mind go crazy in fear. but your Channel gives me a completely new respect and change of view of theses animals that are amazing to learn what beautiful gifts we share our planet with. happy holidays!
That beetle is ferocious! So amazing! Great vid as always! I have a couple questions if you have the time.?. 1. How do you get all your T's to just sit out in the open when you feed?, mine all hide when I open their enclosures. I try to do good feed videos like this one, but can never get it on video because they just run and hide.. 2. How often do you feed your T's? I use to feed once a week, they started getting fat, I switched to every 2 weeks, and then every 3 weeks...I'm looking for the perfect time between keeping them healthy, but their still hungry on the next feeding. Thanks for any reply. You have beautiful T's, and alot of beautiful Theraphosa species!
I have a fear of spiders but your channel has helped me with that fear in a big way-been subscribed for awhile and really enjoy the videos! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
That sequence with the mantis was amazing! Maybe next time you can try letting it hunt on the lid (and cover the cricket container so it doesn't get distracted) With the mantis's eyesight, the problem of prey playing dead is probably not going to happen
your mantis is pretty awesome. They do seem to have their own personality. it was like a ninja but the bug was even quicker. But once they get their spiked limbs on their dinner, its all over.
8:08 Oh DAMN!!! OH MY GOD😂😂😂!!!! The Predatory Beetle is a lot more cooler than a Ripped Ratatta vs a wimpy Oddish! Predatory Beetle's expression after it's hunt -->😎
How is this age restricted. None of other tarantula videos I seen is age restricted. Oh well. I like it. Tarantulas are amazing creatures. One escapes! XD
Hey TA can you make a size comparison with Charlotte? It would be nice to know how big she is in cm or in comparison too an Euro or something like this.
lol Charlotte was like "oooh, lunch!!! I think I'ma take it with me on my walk today! bye bye, slave-human!" 😂😂
Precious Felton Charlotte is a cat in disguise.
The 1 dislike is Charlotte after you put her back on the enclosure.
haha! Charlotte may be old but shes got trick up her sleeves! clever girl! great video bud keep up the good work!
As much as I admire and take interest in spiders and tarantulas, they still terrify me...I felt so uncomfortable when Charlotte fell out, she's huge. I don't get how you stay so calm:')
You just have to keep your cool in these situations ;)
TarantulaAddict What did you do to get her back in?
Josh, I have T's because I am terrified of them. They sit near me and I slowly can lose my fear. When one escapes, I do my best to get it, but if not I holler for my wife to handle it. And she does... She handles all of our T's.
Wow man, cudos to you for trying to overcome your fear like that. Much respect!
Just think of the spiders/tarantulas as something like cats....only with eight legs.
One of the things I love about your channel is that you use the common name too. For me, being a beginner, this matters. I used to sub a lot of channels for T's but if I don't know what someone is talking about I'm not sticking around.

I mentioned that a few years back, Steve would make an excellent audiobook reader
Charlotte is like : You know waht i dont want to be in here anymore goodbye
but she is so cute
Haha!
Gotta love Charlotte's personality. She's so curious and sassy in your videos!
"Like she owns the place"
Like? She does own the place, obviously! :P
Amii McMillan Fun fact: your pets actually own the house whether it's a dog, a cat or even a tarantula, they run shit and walk around as they please.
Amii McMillan will you own me
OMG!!! What beauties you have!! AND you have gorgeous Mantis too!! Best of both worlds!
That predatory beetle attack was amazing! great seeing all the Ts and the mantis too☺
Some nice crunching going on there! Stunning T's. Not overly keen on Mantis myself but great to watch it eat.
...Are we going to name the praying mantis?
Wow Charlotte is huge. The size of a bassist's hand!
"That cricket turned out to be a ninja" 😂
oh my gosh you had me literally giggling with your description of the mantis and its just sitting there looking at the camera with big innocent eyes XD LOL
I like to mess with pray mantises because of their good eyesight and the way it strikes. Lol
"The start of her adventure" that is just the most adorable thing I have heard from a tarantula video
I recently purchased my first tarantula because of this channel! Keeping it has been a blast!!
I always get excited when Charlotte comes on. :)
:)
TarantulaAddict awwww like from Charlotte’s web !!! Now I get why you names her that
The mantis is a INCREDIBLE creature! Cool!!!!!
Happy holidays from Denmark!
Good to see that the mantis has made a full recovery from the bad moult, and that Charlotte is doing great too.
Charlotte seems to be due for a moult any month now, so let's hope it repairs a little more of her abdomen.

'the mantis now has climbed on top of the enclosure, like he owns the place' I laughed hard at that one
Well, after having watched this particular video for the twelfth time, I've finally figured out why it enchants me so; apart from the overall pleasantries I now realize that Charlotte is absolutely endearing and she should have her own series. I'd buy the DVD's even. Thank you so much for making these awesome videos. 👍
The way Charlotte wiggles her arms when she's coming outta the enclosure is both terrifying and pretty cute.
Do you think you could put something beside Charlotte as a size reference for us to really appreciate her size?
Yeah will do next time I film her.
yeah i was going to comment the same thing, i wanna see how big she really is! great video thank you!
Palm size I think
Very nice feeding video mate! Love your collection of inverts. That beetle is a tank!
that mantis was brilliant. i think it wanted to help you feed the spiders
That takedown by the tiger beetle was BRUTAL, loved it. He just grabbed that roach by the back of the head and started chewing it off.
Man. You sir, have completed my day!
This is my new favourite youtube channel :). keep making your amazing feeding videos!!! Sending you invertebrate love from Victoria, Canada
I'm really loving your feeding videos and always admiring all your spiders mate they all beautiful this is actually helping people learn how to look after them and what type of food they eat keep up the great work
Why am I subbed to this channel, I have an immense fear of spiders but still can't stop watching your videos xD
For some reason I find these feedings so satisfying.
Charlotte!!!!! Love that spider! Terrified but love her personality
No "dislikes" jinx, let's hope not. This shouldn't have any.
Arnell Long 1... :(

I had a pet praying mantis a few years back. she was so cool. I miss her.
Charlotte's an absolute beauty.
That sequence with the mantis was amazing! Maybe next time you can try letting it hunt on the lid (and cover the cricket container so it doesn't get distracted)
With the mantis's eyesight, the problem of prey playing dead is probably not going to happen

Merry Christmas! the skeleton tarantula was gorgeous!

lol Charlotte at the end escaping my heart jumped! i thought she was going to hurt herself. how do you het her back in her enclosure?
your mantis is pretty awesome. They do seem to have their own personality. it was like a ninja but the bug was even quicker. But once they get their spiked limbs on their dinner, its all over.
Glad these came back and hope they keep coming
Ps your mantis is a stalker
8:08 Oh DAMN!!! OH MY GOD😂😂😂!!!! The Predatory Beetle is a lot more cooler than a Ripped Ratatta vs a wimpy Oddish! Predatory Beetle's expression after it's hunt -->😎
Hi merry Christmas great video I loved the beetle.
Great video, enjoyed every crunch!
This video is my favorite because of the jailbreaker, Charlotte! XD
Wow, these animals are so fascinating :)
That mantis is so clever lovley spiders 2 happy new year
Great video! How did you manage to get Charlotte back in?
Love the "crunch! crunch!"
why do u have such a lovely soothing voice lol u remind me of bear grylls 👌
it scared me when charlotte fell
How is this age restricted. None of other tarantula videos I seen is age restricted.
Oh well. I like it. Tarantulas are amazing creatures. One escapes! XD
The predatory beetle is savage!
Charlotte is adorable :)
Hey bud, great vids. just a little question, what size enclosure would you recommend for a juvenile 5-6cm T? Happy holidays mate. Thanks
Charlotte is such a cool giant
Im deathly afraid of spiders but Charlotte is adorable
is the mantis friendly enough to handle yourself when he gets out of the enclosure?
Hey TA can you make a size comparison with Charlotte? It would be nice to know how big she is in cm or in comparison too an Euro or something like this.
Great video and good luck with the Three Peak Challenge! x
