    Dave handles spiders better than some UA-camrs with millions of subscribers. They want the spiders to act defensive to dramatize it and bring in more viewers.

    Absolutely love the way you handled these spiders. I've seen so many keepers - some very popular ones, actually - poke and prod their spiders while rehousing. I strongly believe that the one thing missing with many, many keepers, is 'respect' for the animal. Frankly, even though they may know a lot about them, they have no respect for the animal itself. But on the other hand, you do. Not only are you a wealth of knowledge, but you also respect them for what they are as a species and understand their behavior thereby allowing them to be the unique individuals that they are.

  • @julierobertson148

    The Bible book of Genesis, describes the intended relationship between man and the rest of creation. (It's variously translated variously as subjection, ruler-ship, and dominion.) Watching you deal with your beasties epitomizes to me the essence of that relationship: knowledge, understanding, appreciation, planning, respect and love. The hobby couldn't have a better teacher.

    I have seen so many people that think they are gentle during a rehouse that actually are not gentile. They man-handle the enclosures or move too fast with the brush. And then the spider ends up kicking hairs. This is usually driven by them being impatient. You have to be very patient and gentle when rehousing. You are doing it at the spider's pace and not your pace.

  • @arctica7170

    I appreciate how patient you are with the spiders. Every other UA-camr I have watched who rehouse their spiders are pushing their spiders towards their new enclosure, seemingly not allowing the spider to release their grip on the surfaces. Also, thank you for the great tip about maintaining contact while directing them! I will remember this for when I need to rehouse my own tarantulas.

    Hey Dave maybe you could send this vid to Tarantula Kat to be helpful. Before you react, consider what i'm saying. you're a pro at this, and the way you deal with these guys is really a level above most others.
    The aforementioned creator is often freaking out, panicking, and stressing the hell out of her spiders with her reactions. Considering they have a very finite life dependant upon their energy reserves, this would be a HUGE benefit to the animals. I know the community is all huggy and super positive and no one wants to admit anyone does anything wrong, but this would really be a huge help and would be really considerate to the welfare of the animals.
    I think the quality of their lives may be a bit more important than her emotions. I recognize you will probably dislike this comment, but i also know that you love these animals and care about them so it should be said.

    I really appreciate you showing these because I'm new to the hobby and have a sling that needs to be rehoused, and I'm nervous about it. He/she went straight into his first enclosure easy, and I did it just like you said, I kept contact and he just walked over. But now, he has a burrow and I'm a little worried about how to get him out. I'm watching you do it and it gives me a little confidence to know I can do it myself. I don't want my husband to help because this is my spider, and I want more, but if I'm afraid of it, he won't want me to get another one. I have a regular old curly hair, about 1.5 inch sling, maybe more if it's diagonal leg measurement, and I don't want to stress him or hurt him or scare him.

    Hello Dave and Camera Lady. Wow, wow, wow! What a fabulous video! My favorite part of your channel is watching you handle your beasties. I swear they can feel your calm and respond in kind. Question 1: Are there specific behaviours that you watch for to tell if your spiders are healthy? If you do get a sick spider, can they be treated? Question 2: Are there any Metallica babies coming on soon? I would love to see some Metallica slings. They are one of my favorites along with the H. Maculata. Anyway, well done! Bravo! Have a great week. Stay safe and take care y’all. 🤠🙂💖

    Who knew a spider-phobic like myself could watch a video like this transfixed from start to finish? Fascinating to see the variety in this impressive spider collection, each one unique in appearance and personality. And Dave's problem-solving based on his knowledge of each arachnid's likely behaviour was gripping stuff!
    I suspect Dave hypnotises his 8-legged friends, with his soothing voice. He certainly does me, as well as being educational, these are wonderful ASMR videos! 🤣🤣🤣

      I am curious though Dave, when it comes to your terrestrial spiders i notice you generally dont use an enclosure with a door. I would think that would make it easier to move them over. Im sure there is a method to your madness but im curious as to why you use one type of enclosure vs another.

    Thank you so much for this. I have a Versicolor Juvi, and WOW I was surprised at how fast she was! She did that zoom into and then RIGHT BACK OUT of her new enclosure XD Scared me to death, but she landed on my hand and for whatever reason... stopped spazzing, so I was able to maneuver her in easily after that, but my poor heart.. and probably hers, too! So I'm all for transferring T's without handling them when possible.
    It had been 25 years since I owned a Tarantula, and she's my first Arboreal T. I DID research... but apparently not quite enough, as the super zoom was a shocker, so time to do some more! Looking for info on taking care of the Juvies and Slings primarily, and I also have a Mexican redrump as well (got them at the same time), haven't seen him since I put him in, but I KNOW he can't get out, and I don't want to risk terrorizing or squishing him, or letting him get eaten by his own food, so I've been putting cricket legs in since I don't want to risk any live prey, not knowing if he's in pre-molt or something, plus he's SO tiny.

Especially cus she’s genuinely trying her best to share her knowledge and experience. It takes a lot of guts to be a UA-camr! So just want to say to all the viewers that if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. There’s already little content on spider keeping as it is. We should all be uplifting eachother instead of trolling and trying to be know it’s alls. Just come at everyone respectfully and if you don’t like their content then kindly stay out the comment section. Period!

Being new to the hobby I've used everything you recommend and have lost the nervousness and jumpyness I had watching my gf unbox, rehouse, or feed her spiders. And I am able to be really calm when doing weekly maintenance if my tarantula makes any sudden movements ect. And thanks to your great information I've been able to predict my GBB's last 2 molts which I am impressed with due to knowing nothing when I started. So thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into these videos!!!
