This video is going to provide so much relief for so many people, me included lmao...
Have you ever seen a sleeping tarantula. They look funny when they sleep. Only exhibited it with my poecilotheria though.
Bro your videos are awesome ever since I caught this Oklahoma brown I notice different stuff it does all the time like here recently it just started digging out it’s hide and the side of the enclosure and has been preening here and there also it’s been like shoving it’s but in the substrate in random spots is that something to watch? Or just doing it’s own thing I know it sounds dumb but I just want to make sure it’s nothing to worry about
I have a new Trinidad chevron one inch new inclosure haven’t seen it since I put it in there should I be concerned.
I've had my T for a while now, and one thing it did that freaked me out because *I had no idea they did that* , was build a sperm web and lay down upside down under it.
Fun way to find out you have a male.
I want to take a moment to thank Richard for all he does for the hobby. He is a guiding light for keepers everywhere. The humility, honesty and commitment for truth is something we should all aspire to in the care of these animals. Never forget that T's are in our care not as pets but almost as miniature exhibits.
Couldn't agree more! Richard is THE BEST source for information on UA-cam when it comes to tarantulas. I regularly recommend this channel. Even for people who aren't keepers, this is an awesome channel to watch!
I agree completely, I have learnt so much from Richard and Dave fisher from Dave's little beasties
My fear is completely gone, OUTSTANDING educator!
"So you can relax" he says as he shows footage of one spider savagely murdering another 🤣
Murder!
😂😂😂
Well that is normal as after mating the female would normaly have her boyfriend as a snack
Also got 8 legged freaks look with parts of video where spiders are getting out. Nicely done Richard
Owning 20 tarantulas has taught me one thing...
Tarantula shenanigans are 1000% for real.
yup lol
scorpion shenanigans too
Bearded dragons also engage in shenanigans
My curly hair loves to move around a particular leaf in her enclosure. She moves it around weekly lol
that’s so fricken CUTE
Do they need misting or no. I'm new to this.
@@alvincole9551 there are videos on the play list about it
@@clutchitup8565 thank you 😊
@@alvincole9551 Give them a bottle cap with water so they can get additional water if necessary. But most get enough water through regular feeding. Never spray water directly onto a spider, since that‘s just rude. Put a couple drops on the outer netting or leaves in the enclosure.
My rule #1 of tarantula keeping is "Chill out"
This!! ☝
Learning the difference between "hunker/hiding beneath the knees" and "death curl" really helped me relax a lot. The first time I rehoused a T, it immediately went into "hunker" and stayed for almost 24 hours and I was in such a state, but I looked it up on a forum and was able to reassure myself of what I was looking at. The T eventually realized he was safe and promptly bulldozed his whole new enclosure into something he was happy with, a process I really enjoy watching. Thanks for the tips!
I saw my tarantula do that one night and went to bed waiting till the morning to see if he was dead, thanks Richard.
My sling took a small mound of dirt and moved it a few centimeters to the side lol of course it’s a white knee. He never stop decorating
Sometimes they just die. If you have this happen frequently, obviously check your husbandry against the suggestions of people that are experienced keepers. But, sometimes slings just die, even when you are doing things right, and you thought everything was going so well. It is still a good idea to recheck what you are doing, but there are times when you will find it was nothing you will be able to pinpoint. Don't get discouraged, it happens.
Where TF were you when my Philomena was eating her leg 🤣🤣🤣 total panic ensued until someone told me she was preening 🤦🏻♀️
My skeleton preens its legs while it sits in its water dish. First time I saw it do this didn't panic me--thought it was fascinatingly cool!
@@williamthran8325 I didn't know what was happening 🤣she had her ENTIRE leg in her mouth & I didn't have much experience yet. Now I only panic over odd behavior once a week or so 😄
I have a Philomena lol
@@Felicity-T awww 😍what kind is yours?
What always throws me off every time is seeing 2 tarantulas in the enclosure, it always takes a split second for my brain to process that it is a molt 😂 but this is a great video and will defintely out a ton of new keepers for sure!
Don't have a T, still learning a lot, but even I have already seen people panicking about some of these. XD
Makes me wonder though, what behaviors should you worry about?
sounds like a video I will have to make soon!
@@tarantulacollective Sounds wonderful and we will appreciate it!
@@tarantulacollective my Avic avic went 4½ months without eating last year and I was getting worried .
Problem is, one of my juvenile T have this weird shenanigans where she will put one of her legs out of the vent holes and starts wobbeling it around and when i touch it she bolts to the other side.
Sounds almost like a snake using it's tail to lure prey.
yes I have also observed this my d.pentaloris and t.vagans but if I touch my vagans leg she will threat pose and stay there for about an hour lol
I personally wanted to say “ Thank you Richard for all you do, I am fairly new to the hobby and would b absolutely lost without your videos, I know it’s not everything I need to know but it’s helped me so much in keeping my Avicularia safe and healthy. She is doing so well and I appreciate everything.
So number 6 is why so many people want to kiss tarantulas!
I'm a brand-new T keeper and just got my first spider a few weeks ago. This video is one of the most helpful I've run across! Things like being upside down for molting and sealing up the burrow are super important and probably would have freaked me to death had I not watched this! Thank you so much for making this available. :)
I am glad you found it helpful. I have actually put together an entire playlist of videos like this, especially for NEW keepers. They may answer even more of your questions:

@@tarantulacollective Thanks! Watching these right now. Your channel has been immensely helpful so far and your hard work is definitely appreciated. :)
i got a late juvenile/near adult A. seemanni at a Repticon that was missing its left front leg... i knew the guy running the booth so he gave her to me for free with a Scolopendra sp. Centipede that i bought... lo and behold about 4-6 months later she molted and had a BRAND NEW LEG... that was easily 4 or 5 years ago and shes doing fine still... just hanging out in her enclosure enjoying that Carolina weather ... re-growing legs doesnt ALWAYS happen but typically id say its true you DONT need to worry about missing limbs... either way they get by just fine with 7 or even as little as 5 or 6 legs
I feel like your channel deserves waaaaay more love man.
That sub count should be in the hundreds of thousands.
I believe channels like yours are very important cuz they actually help people get over their fear of certain animals and that eventually will benefit not only those people but the animals as well.
I want to share this video in all of my tarantula FB groups.
Midnight here in Germany, but I'll watch it anyway
Omg, thank you for this video being new to this I can be admittedly neurotic about making a mistake.
My G pulchra just dug it’s burro last night ! I was worried she was stressed or something because she completely covered the spot she usually likes to hang out. But seems she found a new one !
What would we do without you Richard?! 🌸 You’re a wealth of knowledge about our beloved critters and you’re so gifted at explaining things. As always, thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A new Tarantula Collective video ?
Yes please 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
You helped me with finding a place to order from and I bought my very first tarantula at Fear Not TarantulasThe was in January this year and it finally molted a few days ago 😊
YESSS! I had some of these worries! I just recently got a Chalcodes ... and it's been walking on the walls and then it was in it's burrow and it caved in... At least now I know exactly why. Because it's so worrisome.
Really enjoyable video Richard, brilliant advice especially for new keepers.
Love this video! Even though I knew about some of them, it's still wonderful to be reassured these things are all good, and a great heads up for other weirdness yet to come! :-)
Amazing channel, great information really appreciate all your advice
When I got the notification for this ( mind you I’m at work currently) I threw my hands up and went “ OH MY SWEET JESUS ! THANK YOUUU” 🙌🏻
I have been waiting for a vid like this ! Thank you so much 💕
LoL...that is awesome 🤣
I 💜💜💜 your channel and this is definitely what I wanted to see.
This video was great. So helpful and informative, thankyou! :)
Another amazingly done list man, love the work you put in!
Some really awesome shots in this one! And a fantastic video idea
THank you so much, this has helped me enormously! ♥
I DID NOT know about #6!!! How fascinating, and relieving as well. Thank you for this information!
Preening is so cool to watch especially on poecilotheria as mine hang off the glass when doing it
Thanks for great video ,helpful so much big time
3:18 little dude literally saluted, i’m crying 😂 3:25 he looks like a cute little pirate captain searching the horizon for land, so expressive with only one of his pedipalps 😂😂😂
Awesome tips! Thank you, brother 🙏🤘🕷️🕸️
Enjoyed this video very much. Thank you.
Good video man !! Learned some new stuff and thats why i keep coming back !! 🙌😍🙏
This was an awesome video. Very informative for the beginner. You covered every thing I have seen in all my tarantulas. My seemanni and one of my curly hairs stay under ground for extended amounts of time.
Man you're a lifesaver, thank you so much for your videos
I liken the wall of substrate in front of their cave to a "Do Not Disturb" sign on your hotel door
Such a good video! Thanks a lot! You helped to ease a lot of my future worries 👍
Awesome video, Rich, thanks for the help.
This was a great video specially for beginners well done. Thank you for all you do.🕷🕸🕷🕸🕷
GOD BLESS
Excellent video thanks
Amazing, thank for the information. I knew to the world of tarantulas.
Awesome video as always. Great choice of topic.
I love your giggle at the end of your vids it always makes me smile
Oldie, but a goodie!!! Thanks for the recap.
Awesome information because I'm looking to start keeping T's 👍
Richard, Thank you for all the content. I've discovered you fairly recently and as I mentioned before I am strongly considering getting into the hobby. I thought about it in my high school days there just wasn't enough information available at that time to be a totally responsible keeper. I have learned so much in the last few days from species to products to proper care / husbandry. I am considering starting with a B. Himori or smithi. I'll be going to a reptile show later this summer and hope to see some awesome T's. Keep rocking the content brother, Peace!
❤🕷🕸🕷❤
Tuesday starts to be one of my favorite Day ❤🕷🕸🕷
Tuesday AND Fridays 😁
@@tarantulacollective Getting more consistent Richard! I like it, I like it!
Your videos are awesome!
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped relieve stress about my T's weird behavior 😊
Been searching for a video like this for months. Finally!
I still have a little shock moment everytime I see a T. on its back. After that it's like yeah molting! Great video Richard! *cheers!
Me too! Ive been years in this hobby and that still gets me haha
@@BillieBangs666 Speaking of it, my T. blondi is molting as I write this comment. Hopefully I finaly get a molt I can sex.
@@C.S.M.Hageroth has it molted fully yet?
@@elighrodriguez6106 Yes it has, but it is sitting ontop of it's exuvia, so I have to wait. :)
Thank you for this awesome video! As a new T keeper I found this video very helpful and your so easy to watch 😁 it's was actually your video on the brazilian black that made me bite the bullet and get my first tarantulas (brazilian black and curly-haired).. Keep up the good work and many blessings to you x
Great video as usual ❤️
Loved the vid. I learned from the Oldtimers at another site. Didn't know about you yet. That's a vid that all newbies should watch.
I've been watching dark den and exotic liar for a little over a year. And I'm so glad your videos have been recommended to me
Great tips! Definetly wouldve been helpful when i first started a few yrs ago 🤣 always have great content!
Perfect timing, just got my first two Ts this past week.
Thank you I just got a curly hair and I saw it climb the side of the enclosure and I was so worried it was trying to escape or just uncomfortable with something
Sick video... This is gonna help so many beginners
Hello great video information Richard
This put me at ease some what I have a cobolt blue and I noticed it’s lost a leg randomly I mean it’s still fine wondering round and stuff and there’s nothing it can hurt itself on but this video put me at ease with the missing limb info and climbing round on the glass and roof ! Thanks dude
Rearranging... That's happening to me right now. From my usually inactive G. porteri. About a week or 2 ago, she decided to pull all the sub under and around her water dish, to fill the dish with it. I've cleaned it all it 3-4 times already, but she keeps filling it up with it. It's simply annoying. Eventually, she'll return to her typical inactive self.
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Great video!
Great video! I've been creeped out from the goo around my GBB slings mouth.
wot an amazing vidoe richard it was very educational
Thanks for making this video. My Grammastola Pulcra which i got dissapeared about 3 weeks ago, so i feel better knowing this is normal and they can go without eating for a long time. Hopefully it will resurface so i can feed it soon as it trapped itself in. Great video as always :)
I'm new to the hobby. And your advice rocks.
I want to say thank you for all the information you give! I’m new to owning a T and I don’t know squat 🤣. You helped me a lot and helped me learn.
You're the best! Thank you so much for everything you do!!! You're my go to for all information regarding ts. I adore you!
You are so welcome!
Excellent video
First video as a member Thanks for getting me into the hobby my first T comes in tomorrow!
Ohh nice what you got coming
Thats awesome! What species is on its way?
this is a great video for a new keeper thank you!
Hi! One more very nice vid!!! Always nice to see your nice work: short, precise and concise...with amazing images of beautiful Ts! 👍🏽🤘🏽 By the way, from the illustrations of the Death curl/preening/pre molt come from? Found them nice and they looks interesting!
I've been worrying a lot for the hunger strike...during this molt my GBB just ate 4 times in a year...it's been worrying me a lot but...it's the way Ts goes! Even for a GBB!
Thanks a lot🙏🏾!
Thanks again for the great content sir. I really like your hat! Where did you get it?
Great job on this video man. I highly appreciated it as a new owner!! (GBB)
New keeper here - I'm the proud parent of an Aphonopelma chalcodes (aka "Goldie"). Love your videos - I've learned so much! Keep up the great work!
I'm totally going to go geeky fan girl, here. LOL. Wow! You have a true gift for making keeping T's an approachable, non-scary hobby. I learn a dozen plus things with every single video. Thank you for doing what you do!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I have been watching the past few days. I got my first T because of you! I was a snake guy but now I’m more of a tarantula guy now!! Still love my snakes tho! Lol.
I like it when I see my Tarantula rearranging his enclosure, he's keeping busy, which is nice. I just have to add, you capture some awesome imagery with your equipment and skills. Nice footage, really!
Awesome video! I bet they say to themselves "I gotcha!" When they preen and stress their owners out lol little head burners but we love them!
I remember the first time I heard the tapping, everytime I turned the lights on it stopped. Finally I saw my P. Metallica tapping away . Being photosensitive it took three months to find out.
Another good vid, Richard! I'm sure you might have seen my posts about some slings that looked death curl or some that have molted and not recovered, I realise now that maybe I'm more responsible than I realised. Panic set in and I couldn't stop picking up their enclosures to check on them. Ironically, the one I messed with most that people more seemed to think was dying is actually the only one of the three molting that survived, though she damaged her two back most legs but is aware and seems comfortable now I've learned to let her get on with it.
Thanks again for the good vids!
Just discovered your channel. Its got a really good energy I love it.
Thanks. It is awesome having you here.
At 3:23 the jumping spider salutes to Richard because he’s so proud of being in his Collection! 😍🕷🥺
very nice vid!
Very interesting next video should be behaviors to worry about! That would be intriguing to hear
Thank you for your videos they really help I just bought a Arizona blonde last week size of a half a dollar that has a bald butt so I didn't know what was going on until I watched your video so now I understand that just throwing hairs and now I know when he Molt's he's going to look brand-new with all his hairs LOL thank you you are awesome thank you for all the information I learned a lot from you appreciate you
nicw job Richard All of these behaviors have happened to me.
Glad to hear about the Aphonopelma chalcodes and hunger strikes lol mine has been on one for about 8 months now. I offer food every couple of weeks (and remove if not taken by the morning) I'll just keep offering and keep the water dish filled and fresh.
Another awesome video 👍 👌 👍 👌
My room is sort of the "Room of weird noises" since Botia loaches make a very distinctive clicking noise, so when I get my first tarantula, I am fully prepared for more weird noises.
Dude. Loving the shirt ;) greatest band of all time 🤘
