  • Another bucket-list tarantula found in Chile! Euathlus truculentus or Euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi sp. "blue femur" is a unique theraphosid tarantula from northern Chile. Make sure you watch the whole episode of todays "Tarantula in the Wild" series when we search a unique habitat for a blue femur tarantula from South America! This species is remarkably colored, as juveniles and adult tarantula. Outstanding and extremely calm, just as other tarantulas from Chile.

    I have a crazy amount of love for this genus and I am so happy that you are giving them the exposure that they deserve. I try to get a few of each species that become available in Canada, which is sadly not that many, and I have three that were sold as Euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi. I was thrilled to learn that they are actually truculentus! Such a stunning tarantula. Unfortunately, mine all look to be male and I have little chance of finding them females. That is the downside of having species that are not as common.
    I don't understand why they aren't more popular. They are dead easy to care for, have decent temperaments for the most part, and are just so gorgeous. This has to be my second favourite genus, right behind Grammostola.

      Thanks Vanessa! Great read as always, much appreciated :) Turns UA-cam more into a forum, I really like that community aspect!
      True regarding the rarity of certain species. Sadly the Chilean species dont breed that well in captivity and the offspring is usually very tiny and growing as fast as a rock... thats why usually only WC are interesting, sadly. I hope that will change

    Awsome channel, awsome video....are you not afraid of getting hurt by one of them? are they not aggresive at all? have you experience a bite? and if yes, how did you felt afterwards?

    • @birdspiders
      @birdspiders  2 роки тому +1

      thank you! no, never bitten and hopefully it stays that way :) they are very docile and harmless creatures

    Beautiful T's, I love the purple ones as it's my favourite colour but I can't spell it's name 😂. A lovely voice as always, happy T hunting. Can I ask as really stupid question please...
    Do arachnids have ears and can they hear?
    I told you it was stupid but who else would I ask.

    • @birdspiders

      they hear with their hairs :) google "Trichobothria" and find out more 💪

  • @SuperLoops
    @SuperLoops 4 роки тому

    very beautiful spooder all of Euathlus genus looks really nice. but not common to see for sale in Europe. i only have a juvenile parvulus and it is very sweet but I would love a manicata or truculent or any of the others too
    also its a funny name truculent is an old fashioned word for bad-tempered. but I dont think these spiders are fierce or bitey at all are they?

    • @birdspiders
      @birdspiders  4 роки тому

      just as with most Euathlus, they get "upset" when kept at higher temperatures, so keep them lower and they are less defensive

    I'd really like to know how you can find enough money to travel only to see tarantulas in situ...
    Is it an official job?

    • @birdspiders

      thanks for your interest Guillaume! I work fulltime, 8to6, normal job and save as much money as possible to do such trips in my free time, which is vacation and sometimes unpaid holidays
