I've got one of this and she's gorgeous!
Haha just watched about 60 of your videos in 2 days, now here :D
Wow exotics lair commented ohh boii
Exotic Lairs love your videos bro
Exotics Lair I was watching your videos since 11:30 now I’m here almost 3 AM why do you do this to me 😂
Hello I’m a long time subscriber good to know you got a notification about me!
Good work guys, very enjoyable watching your discoveries, it was made into a good story with vital historical context too, congratulations!
Holy Crap, that's so cool! Makes me wanna re-kindle my dream of becoming a scientist and join you guys! Please make more!!!!
What a beauty! Tarantulapedia is the best Tarantula video you-tube site! (Among MANY:) !
What an incredible documentary.
Thank you Tarantupedia and all the team for this! Please make more!
videos like this are why we love being in this hobby. So much new information to be found and discovered still!
Great stuff! Please make more of these! :)
nice job on the editing as well :) a pleasure to watch!
Thank you :)
The title's pure clickbait.
This spider was known elsewhere, it just hadn't been identified in South Africa for 100 years - it wasn't thought to be extinct for 100yrs.
I absolutely loved it! Great footage and editing.
I wish i knew how much i would love this when i was young. I envy these scientists so much. Thanks for doing what you do.
Love it! I have a sub adult female here in the US. I had no idea they were protected by law in South Africa. Makes me wonder about all the wild caught Pterinochilus specimens sold in the hobby here.....
I wanted to add that I haven't observed any trapdoor behavior from my specimen.
Cody Cook Well maybe your setup is not allowing this. Try play around and create the habitat as you see in the video.
It’s because they are not wild caught here in the us. But actually captive bred
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
It wasn't easy to convince my husband to have Ts but he gave up once he realized nothing he could do was going to change my mind. Now he loves them almost as much as I do. My grandson got me into it .the hard part was getting his parents into it. They are such wonderful pets anyone with a heart has to love them sooner or later . who could resist that darling little face looking up at you. My grandson has 5 and we have at least 70
I just found this amazing video even though one of my favorite tarantula species is the P lugardi and I have a pair of sub-adults as pets. I really love baboon tarantulas, especially the lugardi since it does not get too large (I prefer smaller species) and is quite docile compared to its orange bitey cousin.
My female actually made a trapdoor at the very corner of her glass enclosure and you can actually see her inside her burrow.
Awesome video 💯
Brilliant job guys!
Very nice, hope to see more.
Tarantupedia™ I enjoyed your videos. You guys are one of the few that has the backing for the cost to make these videos. I myself have been working on my issues with Arachnophobia. These videos help mainly because of the high definition I won't waste your time to tell you what ultimate fear is. This is my only downfall that I can see. I don't know if I'll ever be able to hold a tarantula but I do find it amazing people that can. I'm good with reading people's personalities and you need a specific personality to work with these creatures. I really do enjoy the colorful ones you guys have never knew spiders in such crazy colors.
Fantastic video.
I know it's really important to study the species but I feel really sorry for wild caught ones... I never but any WC spiders. I also feel very sad at how we prod and annoy them when inspecting :)
Great job guys. This is a very exciting discovery. Great job on the documentary. Reminds me of when we used to go spider hunting when I was a kid with my brother Taki Tsonis. I see he still searches for them in this video. I'm a little jealous I'm not there to join you :)
Awesome one guys! Really interesting
I only keep and collect baboon spiders. They are some of the most gorgeous spiders on the planet
Absolutely amazing
good job guys... applause :)
Awesome film well done. Love these nature type vids
This is a really cool docu!! I want more of these quality stuff! =]
Hello Sir, I found a very similar someone in Zimbabwe on the Botswana border when I was in school at Plumtree High school , I even found a snake that was said not to be in that area . Love your channel. When I first started noticing this silk burrows I put a straw down the hole a very strong tug and charge out the burrow and ever since I've been in love with them .
Excellent video, very informative and well shot.Great work.
AWESOME EXPEDITION!
incredible work !
"And here comes the human with his fucking stick again..."
Awesome vid! I have a juvenile. Never knew they made a trap door!
Sweet T indeed 🤗
SO much fondling.
Wow this is awesome. Something I'd love to do in the future. I need to figure out how to get jobs like these!
Study, study and some more study.
"Can't wait to get it back and look at it under a microscope"...That sounded kind of sick to me.
Amazing documentary.
I am a subscriber exotics lair *one of the commenters* and I know your talking about the caratagaris darlingi
Is this a dwarf species? Those adult males are so tiny!!
what a happy ending!😃😃😃
Very amazing of work, very fun job :D
I love spiders I want to be a tarantula handler
awesome video i want some of these in my collection
great job
Awesome
this was truly a pleasure to watch. Very exciting
Damn, It looks like I'll be rethinking on my tanks for this species. I havent seen any attempts at making a trapdoor so far :-(
Change your setup and maybe it will do so.
hope you guys make more vid like this
Excellent vidieo
You all aren’t worried about handling baboons? They’re known in the hobby for their venom and attitudes
My thought is,,, if I found something cool, I'd leave it alone and would tell nobody.
How was he able to pick up that scorpion without getting stinged or poked or whatever it’s called ?
TriHard 7 by the tail
DonutsRYummy if you wanna piss it off
You guys got some balls holding old world spiders. Just pick them up no worries. Ballsy
nice doc
Dave Dawson can get it any day 😈😈😈
So....Now what?
Cause, it sure as hell ain't gonna be rainbows.
To be poked, prodded, and have lights, and microscopes in your face?
Yea, that's the life they signed up for.
You could also just LEAVE THINGS ALONE!
That's one deeeeeep hole if you know what I mean *clears throat*
IS IT TRUE THE HURCULES BABOON SPIDER IS STILL AROUND ?
I thought their usual English name was the Ft. (Fort) Hall Baboon
That is another common name for it.
HEY THATS A TARANTULA NOT A SPIDER
This makes me want to try and set up a trap door for my chordatus and murinus!
+wildwestherp s What do you mean? Even in captivity people do not build trap doors for tarantulas. Let them do their own thing.
+Bobby s I'm saying giving them the proper substrate medium to do so (ie a mixture of sand, eco earth, and clay).
wildwestherp s A trap door could be built out of any of those without mixing them, however that would be a good mixture. Just because you provide good substrate it's not going to encourage a non trap door building species to build a trap door. They may dig a nice burrow, but no trapdoor. What substrate do you have them on now anyways out of curiosity?
+Bobby s In captivity they don't typically burrow. Giving a proper medium combined with the lack of knowledge on certain locals, it is a possibility that they could burrow. For instance, Schismatothele inflata isn't supposed to make a trapdoor, but mine does. All my Ts (~60) are housed on Eco earth.
+wildwestherp s *given. It's a late night :)
6:44 looking at those pincers
I GOT QUESTION FOR YOU
WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOSE
Oh my god, I am the 667th like and 70th comment, one like late and one comment late.
I hope they bred them and released them back into the wild.
It is totally forbidden by the law in South Africa.
Wtf? Why would you handle dangerous species like those.. That could've killed you
Well known taxonimist Claude Van Dam
are all of you Zoologist?
the intro raped my ears
please be careful of them, try not to destroy their home
q foda
Ya in danger species an u just kill. One of the last ones seems point less .ya we found one now kill it
Your methods of looking for them and digging them out are very idioticly destructive and fatal to them and their potential egg sacs , just leave them alone , they don't need your ultra nosey human help , only help nature creatures need is for people to stop destroying nature /expanding into their territories .
I got a baby one too :)
I'm sorry as english is not my native mlanguage, but I don't understand everything...
Theese tarantulas you've found are NOT Idiothele nigrofulva?
I don't understand because it completely looks like I. nigrofulva.
Pterinochilus lugardiu we find in the hobby absolutely don't look like this.
I s there a paper or a study in a BTS journal or anywhere else to compare specoimens, spermatheca etc... of both species ?
Thank you & keep the good work !
No not Idiothele nigrofulva. What we found is Pterinochilus lugardi as Idiothele pluridentatum is now a synonym of P. lugardi 👍

@@Tarantupedia thank you very much. I'm going to read this.
