- I DO NOT ENCOURAGE HANDLING TARANTULAS IN ANYWAY.
This is a demonstration of how I do my handling. I was fully prepared to face the worst consequences.
If you decide to handle a Tarantula, you are doing it at your own risk! If anything goes wrong, you cannot blame anyone/anything but yourself. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
im really surprised that tarantula didnt get pissed off with you constantly poking it with a stick and putting a cup over it.
Thanks for your replay, Test. I'll wait for the the right time !!!
Thank you! Glad you like it. ^_^
YOU TOTALLY DROPPED IT!
I now have broadband. A 100MB HD vid takes around an hour or so. My prevous connection wouldn't even manage to finish a 10MB file. The connection kept on getting cut off.
I have a mature A-Geniculata about 8", I skip the deli cup procedure and coax her onto my hand in the enclosure. I have never been bit but she LOVES to kick hairs at me. I handle her quite often and she is more "conditioned" to it now compared to when she was a juvenile and always scuried away. Now after one napalm cloud attack of hair she is okay to pick up, just needs to get it out of her system everytime I assume. LOL. Alot of fun just don't forget to respect her, if she is upset, leave her.
I dont no why but i love tarantulas like A geniculata and G pulchripes they are so cute and pretty
Thanks. ^_^
So much Stress for a Animal That just wants to live and not wanted to be picked out of her enclosure just because the dumb human wants it on his hand ...🤦🏻♂️
Wow. Thanks for noticing. :D I had no Internet/super slow Internet for a very long while.
good video.... nice looking white knee also
@TheBlanco951 depending on the specie and care, from spiderling to death around 10 - 20 years for female and 1 - 5 years for male.
Well, I was just trying to share as much as possible in 1 video. :D
Thanks. I don't know what L but she measures around 6.5"-7", conservatively.
She's going to molt so that's way she's not that aggressive
@otticobiondo You nean this one? She definitely wasn't in premolt. In fact, I never handle any T in clear premolt. It's not advisable to do handle when the T is in premolt because they are growing exoskeleton underneath the current skin which cause them to be (1) easily annoyed (so more likely to bite) and (2) more vulnerable to damage (perhaps just less vulnerable than a freshly molted one).
@testdasi idk probably bcause it hardly moved. besides i commented half way through the vid so i probably missed a bit or something?
Hi can I ask you a few Qs as you appear very knowledgeable about Ts.... I have an adult female A. Geniculata. I've always kept her substrate moist, and sprayed the sides every day. This is because before I bought her I read many websites who all said it has to be moist to make the enclosure a constant 65'+ humidity. With 4 inches of moist substrate I often wonder / worry that mould could start growing. Any advice would be very appreciated... thanks 👍🏼
A. Geniculata doesn't mind if it's dry (preferring it even). I noticed she appeared to hate the moist surface, in fact preferring to stay far away from the water dish. So instead of misting lightly every other week, I simply stopped misting and everything was fine. Water dish is always full.
testdasi - many thanks for the reply / advice - I appreciate you taking the time 👍🏼 😁
I have dumped all the moist substrate, yes she always has fresh water every day...... she does actually seem happy, she's mooching around, moving stuff 😁
Some online care sheets are basically mis-leading !!
it sounds like the Adventures of Jiminy Tarantula
@fadalisdestroyer666 I don't understand this. Since when is this one dead?
Hi, Testdasi. I have a female Brachypelma Boehmei (3 years old) and it is very aggressive so I'm afraid to handle it. I have noticed that yours is in pre-molt. In that case is easier to handle tarantulas ?
Nice geniculata
Super Video! I have geniculata after L3 and I think she/he is lovely :). Your is big and beautiful but I see that she comb out piles :>.
that's a big momma, cute though
thats not true, now Im not saying its ok because I think the 6 inch rule is right but I have had avics and pokies run up my arm and jump off my shoulder easily falling about 3-4 ft onto carpet and are still here today sitting next to my laptop. just saying.
Good tarantula! :)
mine would turn around fast a shit and bite the fuck out of that stick.
at 2:58 he thinks hes falling through quick sand!
cool T tho.. im thinking of getting one
hehehe waveing like crazy :D so cute!
Thanks. :D My conservative measurement is around 6.5"-7". If she does a full stretch, it probably can reach 8".
Obviously 5/5 ;).
mit meiner geni kann man das nich machen
we need more time to read the slides bud!!
boehmei's are skittis spicies
Nice vid. Nice T. Nice deminstration. 5***** :D
Toll....
Bist schon echt ne tolle Nummer!
Das sind und bleiben Wildtiere!
Könnte echt verzweifeln wenn ich so einen Mist da sehe!
Over 6 inches and she/he will die
Very uneducated on this subject
@otticobiondo oh dear you really have no idea plus ya tryin to tell other people when a t is in pre moltt!!! i really wish people like you would at least read a book before havin t or do some kind of research first!!
hahah this spidre is so lazy
Nice video but the music SUCKS !!!
