Great video! Quite the duo, and some nice bugs. If I ever venture out of isopods, I'm a try my hand at least guys. I love the fact that they are relatively communal.
Thanks again for inviting me (and my harvestmen) to film with the Clint’s Reptiles crew! It is ALWAYS lots of fun! My wife says the the Patreon-Only Video about ‘Rus: The Best Pet UA-camr?’ is her favorite Clint’s Reptiles video EVER! ( I think she may be a little biased.)
@@MIsopods Is this the first Clint’s Reptiles / Aquarimax Pets collaboration you have seen? If so, we’ve made quite a few! Make sure to check them out!
If you intend to keep a Rus, be sure to include cohabitation with his Family and as wide a variety of arthropods as you can find, to provide full enrichment. You can watch him engage in natural behaviors like socializing, misting enclosures, breeding critters, building new microhabitats for the critters, and educating people about the critters. This will help ensure a happy healthy Rus.
i've learned that almost every spider happily eats fruits and other shugary stuff when i build an highly biodiverse terrarium with isopods, millipedes, centipedes, spiders etc. When i gave the herbivores a piece of apple, i was unbelievable surprised when a spider came by and ate a piece of apple! This happened a few times by now, and i know for sure that it ate the apple and not a small animal on the apple. So i whould suggest to offer every spider some sweet stuff from time to time, because when they eat it, it has to be healthy, and there isnt any disadvantage of trying it.
I kept few of those wild ones here in Brazil roaming across my garden. They seems to love the rotten wooden logs and lurk around the humid and shady ground around my mulberry tree. Sometimes they crawl into my house or seems to be lured by lights during the night, but you can always gentle place them on their habit again. They also gather around the rain water drains where there is plenty of organic matter in decomposition and tiny critters, which probably servers as snacks for them. They move very slowly and they are super armored. Sometimes round and smooth, sometimes spiky. Really freaky looking, but chill creatures. Worth taking care of them as part of my ecosystem in my garden.
Harvestmen are my actual daddy long legs growing up. I never met a cellar spider till I moved west and man....I could let an entire colony of harvestmen run over me and not be bothered until one tries my nose or ears but cellar spiders are one of those 'I respect you but please do not enter my laundry room and absolutely not my bathroom, good madam.' Then again, nothing should ever be found in one's bathroom. When your pants are down and something's moving near the toilet, it's like playing reverse shadow of the colossus.
@@osonarleyy The "daddy-long-legs" we saw in Maine were actually harvestmen: not obviously segmented and very long legs, and totally harmless (except to their prey).
I’ve seen huge clumps of Harvestmen piled up (for warmth?) at the base of trees in the morning in the woods. When disturbed with a twig they all disburse and the earth becomes alive with countless numbers of Harvestmen. Both interesting and creepy at once.
@@shuruff904 These were in northern NY State and early in the morning. I’ve also seen them exhibit that behavior in Texas on someone else’s YT channel (those were in the mouth of a cave). It must be a common trait of harvestmen.
Actually these arachnids are very common to find in my area, I find them all the time under rocks and rotted wood, also here we use to call them "Chiltons" not Harvestmen.
I love these little guys so much! when I was in school, I'd spend all recess collecting harvestmen (and other bugs) and showing them off to the teachers, it was always a good day when I found an especially big one
Harvestman are definitely some of my favorite animal, in part because we still have so much to learn about them! Especially when it comes to social behaviors
I love all harvestman! Love everything about them, including their name it's so cute! I've kept them before and they're so easy. I've never bought them I just caught them from my yard. A weird thing I've observed is my yard doesn't have harvestmen usually. However, any year I decide to plant melons or cucumbers, really any plant in Cucurbitaceae they always seem to show up right before the plants start to flower. I don't even know where they come from! I never see them anywhere (and I've looked) when I don't have these plants in my garden. So somehow, as soon as I plant those specific types of plants, they inevitably show up! I'd be curious to know if anyone else has had this experience of harvestman showing up when they plant a specific plant? Because Harvestman showing up whenever I plant Cucurbitaceae has been so reliable for me that some years I've planted those plants specifically to get some Harvestman and it has always worked. I've always joked that that's why they're called Harvestman, that they only show up right when a certain plant is about to fruit so they can rob my cucumbers et al. hahahah
I kinda put the misconception about Huntsmen being venomous in the same category as people thinking that baby venomous snakes are more dangerous than adults because they think the babies cannot control how much venom they use... If you say something enough, I guess it makes it true... even if it's not... 👀
I find these guys in my back yard all the time under large rocks (deep woods of East Texas). I keep an isopod terrarium for my son so it’s nice to know these harvestmen may help with the springtail population!
So wholesome as always! Harvestmen are so fascinating and strange. Most people know very little about them. BTW, the brief Victorian accent at the end was hilarious! 🤣
Clint: "To which my good friend Russ, from Aquarimax Pets, responded, 'I keep something very similar to that as a pet.'" Me: "Of course he does." Clint: "Of course he does." 😂
Last summer I had a harvestman decide my hand made a great spot to just sorta chill for a bit, so I had a tiny live hand ornament for about an hour before I felt it was probably best for him to go back to their own habitat.
We have those (or maybe a slightly different species as ours don’t have the yellow “V” shape on the carapace) all around my area as well as Eumesosoma roeweri here in Deep East Texas! Glad to see a video about them finally!
Day 1 of asking Clint to talk about Nerodia species 😁 Water Snakes! I've already had two for about a year now. I just want to hear Clint get nerdy about something I love. I have two N. rhombifer, one from NERD and a wild caught orange phase (she's gorgeous). There are captive breeders out there, but most are still snatched from the wild. They are partial water moccasin mimics that will puff themselves up and flatten their head to more closely resemble one. They cohab well with conspecifics and closely related species. Their care is close to garter snakes, but they will blister on a damp substrate (the irony). My theory on that is they're adapted to bask on gravel bars and overhanging vegetation, both very hunid but with good air flow and no direct contact with moisture. They calm down much better than other wild species in captivity, and the cb ones can get so calm they're almost boring...but they do have backwards pointing teeth that can rip you worse than a similarly sized colubrid (can confirm, scars on my arm from herping big females). They come in a variety of colors and sizes depending on sex, species, subspecies, locality, and even color phases. Just go look up Nerodia clarkii.
Awesome video Clint but I was wondering if I could ask you will you please consider making a video about 6 best possible Alternatives for the Tegu, The reason I am asking is because I live in South Carolina where restrictions are tightening down and I know they are in many other States as well and I fear there will be a day where you can no longer have them. You can still have red tegus in my state currently but I don't know how long that will last. My question for you is though what are the 6 best alternatives for the tegu lizard and why? And if you can I would like at least half of them to be of similar size to the Argentine tegu. This is just a topic that I think many of us would love to see. Also will you please do a video on the dumerils monitors and how they rank as the best pet lizard
I’ve lived in western Missouri for 15 years and saw my first one about a year ago. He fell from the unfinished basement ceiling directly onto my hand, lol.
I've seen my local harvestmen eating bird poop off of the top of my father's barbeque! I'd love to keep a colony of these: they seem like a combination between isopods and amblypygids, both of which I already keep.
Hey Clint! Just a video idea.... I'd love it if you could do a video on especially tiny pet snakes, particularly the Dekay's Brown Snake, the Ringneck Snake, or the Rough Earth Snake (I don't know if anyone actually keeps those, but they seem nice, and are abundant in the wild, so I don't know why no one would keep them). My apologies if you've already done these snakes, and I just missed it on the channel.
In Scotland we were brought up to know that daddy longlegs were harmless, like nearly all British insects (wasps and bees being in a class of their own, my little sister slid down a wooded bank on her bum and disturbed a wasps nest and I had to pick out what looked like hundreds of wasps from her long curly hair while she screamed. I wasn't unscathed myself because they, unlike bees, keep on stinging!).
A good way to know these aren't 'the most venomous spider on Earth' - the fact refers to harvestmen, cellar spiders/daddy-long-legs, crane flies that LOOK like daddy-long-legs... almost as if everyone has been told by someone who was told by someone something exists...
I have always loved harvestmen spiders. Though we called them daddy long legs. We used to put our hands out and let them crawl on them, watching them with fascination as children. Then we would put our hands back to where they could climb back to whatever they were doing. Never saw armored ones though. fascinating. How long do they live though. I mean, I thought they didn't live that long.
03:01 ❗I'm SO OFFENDED! ❗Clint doesn't like creatures that can voluntarily drop body parts?! I'm an amputee and autonomously drop my leg ALL THE TIME! Now I'm not on Clint's approved list! 😥 🦶 (FYI- I'm not actually offend. Just have a lame sense of humor...literally.)
Yeah I'm honestly shocked he hasn't covered these. They're often considered one of the best pet dinos, particularly for people new to dino keeping lol.
I looked, but I didn’t see a video from you about the best UV lights for various pet related uses, and their differences. Might be something to consider for the future, since you seem to mention them fairly often.
I think Daddy Longlegs are really neat, I used to freak my mom out all the time just by playing with them because they're really neat and gentle and they're fun to just watch moving around Their legs get really easily stuck in spider webs though, downside of being so noodly
Daddy long-legs means different things in different countries. Ahere I am from, the UK, we refer to flies of the family Tipulidae as 'daddy long-legs' or 'crane flies'. In the USA, arachnids of the order Opiliones are referred to as 'daddy long-legs' or 'harvestmen'. And finally in Australia, spiders of the family Pholcidae are referred to as 'daddy long-legs' or 'cellar spiders'.
We call harvestmen granddaddy long legs here in WV. I am terrified of them. I would honestly rather see a black mamba than an arachnid anywhere near me.
it's a very strange thing that a myth about cellar spiders was transferred to harvestmen through both being given the same nickname then again it's also a strange thing that three very different arthropods (those two and a crane fly) would all have the same nickname applied to them ... i sure hope no one thinks crane flies are the most venomous spider on earth
these honestly sound like the perfect starter pet for kids to learn all of the basics - and the parents get to find out if their kid is a kind animal lover who deserves pets, or is actually one of those heartless monsters who lose interest quickly.
I’m concerned that these aren’t the only categories…. I wasn’t taught to be disciplined and had a hard childhood, but I enjoyed animals, but I didn’t do a good job caring for them and my parents didn’t help me learn how, so we would give them away. It was a sad memory of mine. Now I’m an adult who has trained her own dog and I have a very different life now. So just be careful characterizing every one a particular way. It’s not fair to everyone.
Alright, that's it, that's all the arachnids I'm still illogically afraid of gone. Like I knew harvestmen were harmless, but seeing them in pictures with all those weird legs is different than watching one scuttle around Clint's hand. They have crab mouths, that's so cute
You should have a look at the Long-clawed Harvestman here in New Zealand, pitch black and having crab like claws. This totally flipped me out when I discovered one, I had no idea what it was.
Ok, common believe here is also that harvestmen they are spiders, but I've never heard any tale about them being even remotely venomous enough to harm humans.
These are adorable... I wonder if anything like it is available in Australia (Pst.... You should review pigeons! Especially if you can find both a racing pigeon keeper and someone who keeps them as personal pets for the different perspectives.)
Pigeons are wonderful animals, I dont own any myself but I would like to. I do own quails though, they also make great pets provided you make sure to avoid certain things.
PLEASE DO ONE OF THESE FOR PEACH THROAT MONITORS!! I’m thinking about getting one, but there’s so little info of them on the internet compared to other animals, it would help a lot!! thanks Clint, love the videos!
You should make a pet review for April 1st if you haven't already. Like pet rock, mythical dragon, great white shark, plastic plant, blue whale, tamagotchi etc,
one thing i often do not like about arachnids is that they can move so damn fast and jerky. i love it when they move a lot slower and relaxed. and they are super interesting wich i why i love arachnids and insects so much. they are just so bizarre compared to us
Rolli pollis are all over the place. Up near rum river scout camp in Minnesota youtubeth you can find them at like all the parks. Band shells will have em in the coners of the roofs. Sphearish from my experience.
Miraculous things! And still a NOPE from me, I'll stick to snakes, LOL. I wasn't raised to worry about these, we didn't have harvestman where I lived and the first time I saw one here in the Rockies I was DISTURBED. A dot with LEGS forever, skittering around? Nope nope nope. I'll hug a tarantula first. These delicate dudes just weird me out.
Clint if you see this, would you pleaseee consider doing a Best Pet Invertebrate on Cosmoderus femoralis? I want to keep these spiky crickets as pets but is very difficult to find information on them!
I think the anatomists are missing something. I was holding one as a small child and I remember it stinging me somehow. It hurt just as bad as our local centipede bite, Scolopocryptops sexspinosus. I was bitten by a few of those as a child. Cheers, Chris
@@Aquarimax you gotta get Clint to have water bugs (aka toe biters) featured one day. I wonder if anybody has attempted to keep one in captivity. He's hinted at doing a video on one at some point.
About 30 years ago I saw a daddy longlegs attack a black widow in her web. It shouldn't have done that! The widow fought back and she tore 4 of the longlegs legs off. After that, it skiddaddled.
I wonder how the hoofed animals would be ranked as pets (I’m assuming pretty low for the most part, but I’m sure there are species which can make decent pets).
As a fellow reptile keeper, I understand how arachnid keepers feel when people are grossed out by their bugs. I am one of those whom are grossed out by their bugs. Jumping spiders may be the only insect I can tolerate lol
There is no way any parents out there actually teach their children that harvestmen are venomous right? I have never met anyone through my childhood and life who thought they were harmful in any way, just creepy. Do people actually tell their kids stuff like that?
I say this with all due respect, but... that peruvian harvestman species evolved to look like birdpoop. a surprisingly common way of camouflage arround arrachnids, really. nonetheless weird.
I’m pretty sure you haven’t covered these ones on your channel before but can you cover if the fire belly toad is a good pet, or the American green tree frog?

Would love to see you talk about White Tail spiders, they have the most mechanical creepy walk ever and are unusually aggressive
I hope Clint shows actual Daddy Long Leg Spiders/Cellar Spiders (Pholcidae) (which are spiders with fangs and make webs, but are also harmless)
Harvestmen are my actual daddy long legs growing up. I never met a cellar spider till I moved west and man....I could let an entire colony of harvestmen run over me and not be bothered until one tries my nose or ears but cellar spiders are one of those 'I respect you but please do not enter my laundry room and absolutely not my bathroom, good madam.'
Then again, nothing should ever be found in one's bathroom. When your pants are down and something's moving near the toilet, it's like playing reverse shadow of the colossus.
@@VairesSunchaser Reverse Shadow of the Collosus is the funniest/realist explanation for how spiders see us lmao

Yeah I live in Florida and I've seen that as well, very freaky but cool. It may be a defense thing to make themselves look bigger while eating

You should do a pet video for spiny-tailed iguanas! It would be great to check in on that pied pectinata you got from ty park!
Never seen a Harvestman, but I love them.
The Russ review at the end cracked me up so hard! 😂
Now I know where Valve got the idea for the head crabs in Half Life.

I think the most venomous myth refers to the daddy long legs spider, the harvestman is also commonly known as daddy long legs.

Yet another creature Clint has introduced me to. Fun!
Ok, common believe here is also that harvestmen they are spiders, but I've never heard any tale about them being even remotely venomous enough to harm humans.
I tend to find ornate harvestmen in groups of 3 or more under logs and in tree stumps
I love your videos, mainly the snake ones Because they are my favourite animals. You’ve taught me a lot about them
Man, I would absolutely love some of these but they aren't available anywhere in the UK 😩
These are adorable... I wonder if anything like it is available in Australia
(Pst.... You should review pigeons! Especially if you can find both a racing pigeon keeper and someone who keeps them as personal pets for the different perspectives.)
My girlfriend had a pet pigeon that she loved to pieces, I guess they make wonderful pets! Who knew? :)
Pigeons are wonderful animals, I dont own any myself but I would like to. I do own quails though, they also make great pets provided you make sure to avoid certain things.
yeah they have them in Australia but they are extremely venomous
@@thestraydog that is such a sad story
old comment, but we do have similar native armoured harvestmen - they're in the family triaenonychidae! not sure on if they're sold as pets, though
PLEASE DO ONE OF THESE FOR PEACH THROAT MONITORS!! I’m thinking about getting one, but there’s so little info of them on the internet compared to other animals, it would help a lot!! thanks Clint, love the videos!
I love how Clint was talking to us with am Invisible snake in his hands the whole beginning of fhe video! 😂
You should make a pet review for April 1st if you haven't already. Like pet rock, mythical dragon, great white shark, plastic plant, blue whale, tamagotchi etc,
Loved the outro where you rated Ross (Russ?) 😅
I’m honored to have been rated on Clint’s Reptiles!! (I spell my name ‘Rus’)
Neat little critters.
the clot shot is more dangerous than any arachnid
We have a lot of them here in Greece, although I don’t know if we have any armored species.
They are very easy to injure and drop limbs easily.
one thing i often do not like about arachnids is that they can move so damn fast and jerky. i love it when they move a lot slower and relaxed. and they are super interesting wich i why i love arachnids and insects so much. they are just so bizarre compared to us
Normally harvestmen freak me out because of their long legs, but these guys look really cool.
Their rear facing hind legs are super rad
Rolli pollis are all over the place. Up near rum river scout camp in Minnesota youtubeth you can find them at like all the parks. Band shells will have em in the coners of the roofs. Sphearish from my experience.
tons of those back home, Leiolima iberica
A Video about the Quincemonitor would be great 👍
Btw some spieces of harvestmen have disproportionately large eyes
Great to see Russ in a CR video!
I have a ton of fun every time I collaborate with Clint’s Reptiles!
Have you done a video on beauty snakes yet? If not, I think they should be on the list.
Miraculous things! And still a NOPE from me, I'll stick to snakes, LOL. I wasn't raised to worry about these, we didn't have harvestman where I lived and the first time I saw one here in the Rockies I was DISTURBED. A dot with LEGS forever, skittering around? Nope nope nope. I'll hug a tarantula first. These delicate dudes just weird me out.
If they are like the level care of ants from antcanada
Then they should make decent pets
You're so funny and personable Clint
Clint if you see this, would you pleaseee consider doing a Best Pet Invertebrate on Cosmoderus femoralis? I want to keep these spiky crickets as pets but is very difficult to find information on them!
You guys are dorks and i love it.
Fast headcrabs aren't real and they can't hurt me.
HEY CLINT theres a super cool genus of harvestman that ive been trying research and maybe even buy to breed please do a review of them (monoscutidae)
Family, not genus, and remember to capitalise; Monoscutidae.
@@Dr.IanPlect dam well now i feel silly
I think the anatomists are missing something. I was holding one as a small child and I remember it stinging me somehow. It hurt just as bad as our local centipede bite, Scolopocryptops sexspinosus. I was bitten by a few of those as a child.
Cheers,
Chris
I like spiders how there are so many different varieties of spider 🕷
Terrifying?... It's adorable!
These harvestmen look like tiny spider frogs. 😂
Ive always thought they were beautiful.
Woohoo, Rus is back again!
Delighted to be here!
@@Aquarimax you gotta get Clint to have water bugs (aka toe biters) featured one day. I wonder if anybody has attempted to keep one in captivity. He's hinted at doing a video on one at some point.
@@SockyNoob I may be able to help him with that!
@@Aquarimax ohhhhhh yes please :3
That was so amazing and kind of creepy! I love it!
About 30 years ago I saw a daddy longlegs attack a black widow in her web. It shouldn't have done that! The widow fought back and she tore 4 of the longlegs legs off. After that, it skiddaddled.
black widow's are scary strong for their size
I wonder how the hoofed animals would be ranked as pets (I’m assuming pretty low for the most part, but I’m sure there are species which can make decent pets).
As a fellow reptile keeper, I understand how arachnid keepers feel when people are grossed out by their bugs.
I am one of those whom are grossed out by their bugs. Jumping spiders may be the only insect I can tolerate lol
Arachnid!
There is no way any parents out there actually teach their children that harvestmen are venomous right? I have never met anyone through my childhood and life who thought they were harmful in any way, just creepy. Do people actually tell their kids stuff like that?
I say this with all due respect, but...
that peruvian harvestman species evolved to look like birdpoop. a surprisingly common way of camouflage arround arrachnids, really. nonetheless weird.
I’m pretty sure you haven’t covered these ones on your channel before but can you cover if the fire belly toad is a good pet, or the American green tree frog?
