Poor Billie had been dreading this rehouse for a week, so I'm glad that it ultimately went well! She has already settled in quite well and has taken her first meal in her new home. Billie has ALSO settled down and is doing find after her scare. :)

Kudos to Billie for keeping the camera steady while gasping in fright
Yeah, I was shocked that she was able to do that! I have older videos where I got startled and the camera was all over the place. haha
No kidding, my wife would drop the camera and RUN!
@@zerofg1594no kidding, so would I. I watched Dave's little beasties rehousing a cobalt blue yesterday and I kept getting farther and farther back from my phone. By about halfway through the video I was watching it (on my phone mind you) from about 10 feet away peeking around a corner.
The stomping on plastic is something I really enjoy! It's amazing how noisy they can get. My N. incei used to randomly run laps at night. She would do two to three laps and dive into her webbing.
I do too, Dusty! I love when they run around and you can hear them! Hope all is well!
I don't know why but I trust big spiders like this more than those sneaky little guys
Hahaha A lot of folks feel the same way!
Billie, I was knitting and watching the video at the same time, and I jumped when you jumped and screamed and pulled my needles right out of my knitting! lol, all is good, just gotten started! Tim, that’s a tarantula body with granddaddy long legs legs! But a beautiful spider!!! Thanks for sharing!
Hahaha I totally get it! haha Thanks!
Oh Billie, 10/10 for keeping as calm as you did ❤ but you did make me laugh girl 🤣😂🤣
Yeah, no joke. She kept it together amazingly well! Thanks so much!
Linothele Fallax can't climb plastic/glass right away but once they do a few web laps and set web anchors, they'll slowly build their way up to the top. Look so cool when they web.
Yup, they can definitely climb their webbing!
Cool spider. Like heavy webbing spiders a lot! Also made me smile to see a balisong on the table. Great vid as always 😃
Fun story: I bought that balisong off of a friend at school about 35 years ago. I love that knife! Thanks so much!
This is what makes the hobby, lifestyle, fun, the Ts can handle it, and us mere humans get a jolt, main goal is to stay calm, and focus, i kinda tell myself over the years to always expect a bolt, so im not so surprised by it, i do the terrestrials lower to the ground, and keep catch cups around for the flighty old world arboreals. I'm more worried about them bolting to somewhere i can't get to. If there is a hole under a cabinet or sink drain or anything, i swear they know somehow, i plug all that up ahead of time.
That's how I treat the rehousing; I anticipate a bolt so that it isn't so startling when it happens.
Awww 😂 I woulda been the same!! She is very fast, in the blink of an eye she's up your arm if you're not careful 😮🤣 she is a stunner tho 🖤💙 thanku for an awesome video Mr and Mrs Tom 🙏🤍🤍🤍
Hello, Susan Elizabeth! Hey, I jumped a bit, too...it definitely warranted a jump! haha Thanks so much!
I loved the opening of your video, after I got down off the roof, I jumped out of my socks!!!!!!!! One thing's for sure, 8 legs are much faster than 2!!!! 😁😁😁 You may want to get Billie a nice zoom lens for the camera, lol!!!!! 😂😂
Hahaha So sorry about that, Linette! I wanted to do something that would grab people's attention and get them to watch the whole video! And good point! haha
Hi Tom. Another super video and that thing has some serious speed and is super sassy. Hope Billie is ok. She did very well to hold it together. Take care guys.
Billie was able to relax later with her favorite adult beverage. haha Thanks so much, bud!
Hey Tom. Great content and pedagogical approach to the husbandry. Your podcast are articulate and systematic not just for the husbandry but applies to other aspects in life too. You are an excellent teacher.
Wow, thank you so very much for the kind words!
A good old bolting spider jump scare! very cool species & fast!
Hahaha Yes sir, Drew! Thanks so much!
Woah ! I had no idea they were THAT fast ! But considering they don't seem to be defensive and can't climb smooth surfaces, they don't seem all that bad. Poor Billie for having the fright of her life ;) Absolutely beautiful Diplurid !
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Hey, Luc! That's one of the things that I wanted to show. Yes, they are VERY fast...but they aren't defensive and they can't climb glass and plastic well. That make them much easier to work with, in my opinion. Yes, poor Billie almost had a heart attack. hahaha Thanks so much, bud!
They are so gorgeous spiders. I have 4 juvis of them and a 4y old female. My big one is in a 12*12*12 inch enclosure and she webed everything up. My last female died at the age of 5. I hope this one gets older. Beautiful spiders! Glad to see you like them too. Have a nice week!
Greetings Chris
How's it going, Chris! Thanks so much for chiming in about the age. I've heard that they can live up to 10 years, but it seems that 4-5 is more common. And I absolutely love them. Thanks, bud! Hope all is well!
@@TomsBigSpiders Hi Tom, I'm fine, thx. Yeah, as for age, 4-5 years are more likely. I don't think any dipluridae gets as old as they write. 10 or even 8 are not realistic.
Have a great week!
Greetings Chris
Hello great video rehousing Tom 😂😂😂
Hahaha Thanks so much, Moon!
Kudos to Billie…I would have freaked when it bolted! Oh, and yeah, good video, Tom🙃
I jumped a bit, too! haha I don't blame her one bit. Thanks so much!
Wow! Sooo fast! Thanx for another awesome video! 🕷🧡💙💛🖤♥️💚🕷
Thank you, Lisa!
Listened to the whole podcast after watching this video, I picked one up today and was just trying to find more care on them and stumbled upon your channel, really really appreciate all the information you have provided and that you clearly hold yourself to a higher standard for what content you make, followed and will definitely be watching more of your content
That's awesome! The curtain web spiders have become some of my favorites in my collection. The feeding response is just amazing, and they get HUGE. Thank you!
Awesome opening for your video. Jump scares just don't equate with Tom Moran. Lolololol. I don't know why yt fails to notify me of your videos. Better late than never. Have a blessed day!
Hahaha I couldn't resist with this one! Besides, I was hoping that it would get folks to actually tune into the video. Hopefully, you get notifications from now on!
Quite the process! Very beautiful spider. I had already had these on my list to get ahold of some day, but I was not aware just how fast they were. Staying on the list, but now I am more aware of what needs to go into preparing for them when the time comes!
Hello, Chenin! Thank you so much! Yes, they are quite fast but more easily contained than tarantulas (in my opinion!). :)
I just scared the crap out of my wife with the opening of this video. I got slapped, but it was worth it.
Hahaha Those types of slaps are the best! haha Thanks, Andrew!
I told her I want an over-the-bed M. Balfouri vivarium, too... That also didn't go very well. I need to know your tricks to keeping spiders around.
Wow, such a great rehouse! Not sure if I could do that, too fast for me, spectacular webbing.
Thank you, Robin!
That was a classic shock moment like in Horror Movies. She had a little runaround but in the end it went quite smooth. And what a beautiful Spider! With this rectangular enclosure she'll hopefully build a nice Webcastle.
Hahahaha I couldn't resist, Mike! Yeah, I was hoping that folks would see that, despite the little scare, everything went smoothly. Thanks so much!
Tom, I agree she is beautiful!
Thank you, Christopher!
What a beautiful spider! Man I gotta get me a curtain web someday.
Thank you so much! They are super cool spiders.
Wow!! Billy wasn't the only one who jumped! They are beautiful but really fast! That was a surprise!!
I jumped a bit too! That was a bit startling. haha Thanks, so much!
Me: I’m only interested in the exceptionally rare
Also me: Sees a non-tarantula mygalomorph*
Me: Perfection
Hahahaha That's awesome, Alex!
What a crazy opening shot. I was laughing and going ooh ooh! Don't let her get out! Say Hey to Billie!!
Hahaha I couldn't resist with that clip; it was just too good! Thanks, Joyce!
@@TomsBigSpiders You ah a jolly joka! Picture Arnold S saying that!!
Very elegant looking spider, and her speed is amazing. The new enclosure looks beautiful. Kudos to Billie for making the video, I would have jumped and ran, not just jumped. Great video, regards and much respect from UK
Hi, Jane! Yeah, I have to give her credit for sticking with it....she really got startled. Thank you so much!
Sending love and support from the US! I so wish I could be there, but I know you'll be brilliant 🤘
Have fun!
Thanks so much, Dana!
Once that blue showed up, I was hooked! What a beauty!
I was so glad that I could get the blue to show! :)
@@TomsBigSpiders 💙
Tom, when you first put out the podcast about curtain webs, I was very much in the camp of "They are beautiful but definitely not for me" and as I've watched and rewatched the videos and re-listened the podcast I think I'm ready! They are so so beautiful and that webbing is so incredible and seeing how well-behaved she was has definitely made me decide I need to pick one of these guys up. Never in a million years would I have looked at them otherwise, so thank you so much for shining a well-deserved light on these gorgeous spiders! Thanks for all you do for the hobby :)

Hey, Charlotte! That's so awesome! That's exactly why I did that podcast. I missed out on them for many years, and now I regret the time lost. I hope that you dig them!
Awesome Video Awesome spider
Thank you so much, Richard!
Beautiful spider, thanks for sharing. I'm new to the hobby, started with tarantulas but your videos have worsened my addiction. Probably will check out your housing and keeping suggestions and maybe get a curtain web. Love the heavy webbing.
Haha Sorry for making the addiction worse! If you like webbing, Stacy, these guys will be right up your alley when the time comes.
Love Billie having a mic! The colour on that spider is stunning.
Hey, Fallon! I had a funny feeling that something like this would happen, so we decided to mic her up. She will have one from now on! Thanks!
Lol Billy,, i think u could audition as the new Artist Prince with those screams with a side of a haunted house breathing 😂
WONDERFUL creature, so majestic and fluent.
And as always, great video Tom. I dont know how u do it, keeping ur cool like that.
I had my theraphosa jump on my face once, trust me, i was out of the house for the rest og the day. It can have the house 🤣
It jumped on your FACE? Nope. hahaha That sounds absolutely horrific! hahaha Thanks so much!
@@TomsBigSpiders haha, well it jumped on the side of my face as i bent over to get the catch cup. Lesson learned.. Just cause a Goliath seems calm and dandy. all it takes is a micro movement of the air particles and u got a face hugger 🤣
Great rehouse video guys
Thank you, Chantal!
Shes a BEAUTY not had one of these myself YET lol
But you WILL...and SOON. haha Just kidding! Thanks!
@@TomsBigSpiders 🤣
Thank you Billie and of course you too TOM,, I Know that I'm healing because it doesn't hurt as bad to laugh. I would have probably already ran through some sheetrock or bounced off the door 🚪 and you could make a first aid video too 😂 love and Hugs 🤗
Very beautiful spider! If given a chance, I'll be open to having one.
That's awesome!
To keepers of these spiders. Even though they can't climb the surfaces, over time, they can web to the top. And they will explore at night. Given the opportunity.
Great points, Marley! Thank you!
Troublesome little fella. Lol
Hahaha!
Jesus I'm a 53 year old man, ex military and have worked construction and ran the woods all my life. Dont feel bad Billie, I jerked my hands backto my chest gasped and was holding my breath. GDi Tom! you got me.
Hahahaha That's fantastic! If you watch the video again, you can see me jump a bit as well. Neither of use were expecting it to shoot out that end! Thanks so much!
9:30, She's looking at you, Billie! haha 😂 I would freak out and do what you did, maybe more! That is one big girl. Another exciting Tom Moran video for sure! Learning tons from this channel in a way that is certainly not boring whatsoever!
Hahahaha I can't blame Billie, as I jumped a bit as well. Thank you so much, Lori!
@@TomsBigSpiders You're absolutely welcome!!
The heavy webbing is amazing. I had one that sadly died in a molt. One of the most interesting arachnids I have kept. Always enjoy your videos! Great work!
I'm so sorry to hear about yours. Thanks so much!
Brilliant video Tom, very informative as always, and what a stunning species of spider 🕷, She certainly startled Billie when she eventually bolted out ,that's understandable though ,thanks Tom for another wonderful video.
Hello, George! Happy Saturday! She startled me as well; I just didn't scream. haha As always, thanks so much!
He's my brother but we used to keep him in the attic. Guess that's why he's in one now 😂😅 Kelly Anne
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Great video Tom been thinking of getting one for a while.
Thanks so much, James! Let me know if you do!
0:08... lol, Billie spoke for most of us watching, hahaha... 3:46 beautiful webbing, shame you can make something with it. A scarf or something. Looks like it would be lightweight, yet very warm.
Right? It's just so thick and silky! haha
Hi Tom, hope you’re well and enjoying your weekend so far.
Great rehousing video! I love her new enclosure setup too.
She’s definitely a stunning spider, all those blues are beautiful.
I don’t blame Billie for her reaction (I’d’ve been the exact same 😂 🤪) I think it’s because of the speed of her!
Take care 🧡🕷️
Hello, Joanne! Thank you so much; we sure did! I don't either, as I jumped too! :)
Haha Tom, loved the 'new intro'. 🤣 As you mentioned in the outro, they don't live very long, that's the main drawback for me. Really enjoy seeing you (and Billie I suppose 😅) having fun with these though. And thanks for clearing it up once again that NOT ALL Mygalomorphae are true tarantulas (aka Theraphosidae). 😜 (which basically warrants our hobby right... Atrax robustus & the like, the most venomous spiders around, ain't theraphosidae either... hence no tarantulas.) I think a lot of people get confused about that. Always a good thing to say it clearly. 🙏
Hey, Thomas! I had someone comment that their lived past 6, so that's quite cool. Sadly, they don't live the 10+ years tarantulas do. And you're most welcome! I want to get that info out there so that some folks will give them a second look. Thanks again!
🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤
Awesome Vid !!
Thank you, Candy!
Ahaha, speedy lady :D Your podcast has persuaded me to get some of this genus thanks :) I didn't realise they got so big. I have a Diplura sanguinea that looks very similar to this one with the tiger stripes - I wondered if you have any of these/know how big they get?
That's awesome! I just wanted folks to give them a second look that might not have had all of the information. And I'll be picking up some Diplura sanguinae very soon! I believe they get up to 4".
@@TomsBigSpiders Thanks for the reply! Like the Linothele growth my D. sanguinae Lily grew out of the tiny sling stage fast :)
I love tarantulas and am not an arachnophobe by any means but these guys are kind of scary lol.
hahaha I totally get it!
Nice one as always Tom, I'm still not totally set on these, whether it's the skinny legs and long spinnerets I don't know, they are gorgeous and the fact they can't climb as easily is kinda turning my opinion on them, I'll see.....Great video anyway 👍🏻
Thanks so much, Sean! I think for folks that might not like the "sharper" look of true spiders, these can be a bit of a nightmare. That said, they are quite cool...and the webbing! Thanks again!
Bit of a jump scare at the start 😂Don't expect that from you 😅
I normally don't do that, but the clip was just too good! Hahahaha I'm hoping that folks will actually watch the rest. Haha
It served as a good warning for when it actually happens . But then billie's breathing afterwards makes it seen like she was really scared 😂
I have a 4000lm head torch that really brings out the colours .I don't know what you're flashlight is .
I just got a juvenile today! FAST ASF BOI! seriously.
Yeah, the speed is insane! Congrats!
I have a sericata sling, it's super fast and tries to bolt every time I go to feed it, in the dram hahah. This was cool to see a larger specimen.
Does it bolt out or down into its webbing? I was lucky that mine all hid in their webs.
@@TomsBigSpiders It does both! Which is what makes it more unnerving 🤣
What have you been feeding that thing Tom ? That is one big Fallax ! I used to have one they are fascinating. And mine lived a good 6 maybe close to 7 years from sling to adult. Thanks for sharing Tom this video makes me want to find another one !
Babies.
Hahahaha I was actually shocked when I saw how big it was. She's a beast. And that's great to know! I've heard up to 10 years, but most folks were reporting a more realistic 3-5. 6 would be amazing! Now...go find another. ;)
Hi Tom, quick question if you don't mind, I have a a. Calceatum that I'm pretty confident has matured male, however, despite the hairs, shape etc look like all the photos I can find of a mature male, I can't see the emboli, or any hooks (the hair position makes it difficult to spot any hooks) do you know if s. Calceatum have particularly small emboli?, thank you
Hello, Paul! I haven't raised this species myself, but mature males are usually VERY fluffy and gangly. The emboli might be difficult to spot due to how fluffy the pedipalps are.
Gorgeous spider! I would have jumped and gasped also, and I adore all spiders, I think one of the reasons humans get squicked about arachnids and insects in general is the X factor of the unpredictability and speed that gets the heart pounding. Those are so fast! Now I need to get one, hahaha
Great video Tom, and Billie those scrambling sounds made me shiver also. No Shame There.
No shame at all! It startled me a bit, too! hahaha And definitely let me know if you pick one up! Thank you, Cattrix!
Nice to know about ,, are they comunal '
I don't believe that they are.
Is she venomous tom
Hi, Hannah! Yes, she is. However, she would be reluctant to bite and would rather use her speed to escape.
My uncle is Tom Moran! However, you’re not my uncle! 😉
Hi, Kellyanne! Haha Yeah, I was trying to remember if I had a neice named Kellyanne. Glad that we sorted that out. hahaha ;)
@@TomsBigSpiders No way! Are you serious? 😂
Hi tom
Hello, Hannah!
Tom the hyper sensitive ppl in the forums are making me crazy, i've been breeding and keeping herps, Ts and fish for over 30 years, how do I keep from letting these people from making me hate the community?
Yes, you are a bit more sensitive than I and some others are, but I respect your care, and love your podcast, but something is wrong in the hobby, there is a decent group of hyper bashers and t sucks, though I try to respect them, but they are hard core one sided vs trying to see all sides.
Something very important I learned is to pretend you have to fight for the opposing side, then try to form a view, and even still it's never 100 percent.
However it helps you see and understand other views.
Anyways, curious what Canibal Corpse album your Ts like best........mine listen to more Napalm Death and Obituary lol.
That's why I'm not on Facebook groups or forums. I have much better things to do with my time, sadly. haha
I always try to see both sides of issues; in the best case scenarios, I learn something or look at something differently. The worst case scenario, I know how to better debate the other side if needed.
Thanks for the kind words! Right now, they are jamming to KILL. haha We just saw Napalm Death at a recent concert and enjoyed the hell out of it.
I love tarantulas but am not fond of small spiders!
A lot of folks prefer the big ones to the small ones, Vickie!
@@TomsBigSpiders my 2nd grade teacher had tarantulas. She let us hold and care for them♥️
