The pairing of our A.gen was filled with excitement the females of these spiders can be very hard on the males and many males get eaten at the last moment , our male was very lucky we was there to help him out .

He must have been telling her cheap terrible pick up lines and that is why it took so long. If he had better pick up lines she might not have tried to grab him.😁
Lol
Your voice over is my new david attenborough
❤❤❤
Spine tingling finish Dave!!!!! Spectacular pair of tarantulas!!! Goes to show... some women are just evil!!! Lol!!!😅🤣😂 Another great video!!!
Dave, I have had a deathly fear of spiders for a very long time. I have been watching your videos now for about a month. I have a whole new appreciation for the spider 🕷 and their beauty because of your expertise and husbandry. I am thinking about getting a little miniature tarantula of my own. Today what you did was phenomenal! Bravo sir!!! 😊😊
That’s awesome my friend ❤👍
Crikey! He nearly got fang banged! You saved his life, no doubt. Maybe even hers as he might of got upset enough to start swinging his fangs?
I just love the way they interact. I have come to love the tapping part of the courtship.❤️
I've got a soft spot for the geniculatas. Such beautiful spiders and they're not shy either
Great display spiders 👍
Quick intervention well played
Really glad you were able to help the male escape.
That was a wild ride for your male at the end! Such an interesting video. I've learned so much about spiders from your videos and you~what an amazing teacher you are, seriously!! My daughter can't believe that instead of killing spiders I'm now catching them up and setting them free outside!! I couldn't even look at pictures of them a year ago! What you and Camera Lady have done for arachnaphobes the world over does not go unappreciated Sir!! 🌟🕷😃👏
Im very humbled my friend ❤️❤️👍
I think it’s wonderful! Absolutely the best channel for curing arachnophobia, no jump scares or sensationalism, just calm fascinating commentary. I look for these comments and rejoice 😊 So well done Dave ❤️
@@Solitude11-11 Thank you so much ❤❤❤
The enclosure is a beuty!!!!
good save!! That ol boy was almost lunch
It's almost like they've been married for years and they need a holiday to find that spark. Another great video.
Props to you for supervising them for so long, you have saved a life this day!
Great save Dave! I always hate it when the male doesn't survive. It's especially disappointing if he doesn't even get insertion. Glad this fella escaped.
I saw you having a cuppa back there! Superb enclosure and another excellent, very dramatic video. Another testimony to your handling skills
Thank you 🙏
Male Spider: GET ME OUT!!!!! GET ME OUT!!!!! -------- Cockroach: GET M................................
WOW! I can not believe you gently pinned her down allowing him time to wrangle a position for escape! Bravo! Impressive. Looked like she lost interest along the way. Then after he fumbled about, she pretty much fell asleep on him. Only to awaken after a tumble down hill. He was trying to get her down on a level playing field. She was like "nah". The female in this case was "not helping." Hope you get a bagillian babies! Great work on your part. Good luck! May the rest go smoothly!
Thank you 🙏
My favourite all round species, I've got 3 and they are all huge, always active and always ready to take food.
2.5k slings?!?!?!?!😱😱😱
Holy crap, I bet your glamorous camera-lady had fun with all those 🤣
And now we have good audio. Thank you.
That was scary at the end! I'm glad you could save him
OMG! I didn't realize I was holding my breath. That pairing was unbelievable. She was deliberately trying to wear him out for the death blow! Cudos to you for saving the day!
Your enclosures are amazing! thanks for your videos Dave!
Thank you so much
Man, she is absolutely gorgeous. Great video Dave. Tyfs God bless you
🙏 thank you
@@daveslittlebeasties yw🙏
My Indian violets took 14 hours . Was crazy but thanks to your videos on them I had heard they take some time lol
5:10: The male:" Any naughty girls on the line?" 😜
Excellent paintbrush skills demonstrated
How many !!!!!!!!!! I sent a male off once and the female produced 500 slings, but 2,500 ! If I had that many geniculata slings I’d be on Valium 😬😬😬😬
😂😂😂they have big sacs
Glad you saved the fellow. Love is fleeting. One wrong move and your lunch.
Beautiful! They look like somebody playing the piano 🎹. At the end there, it looked like the male stumbled and accidentally fell on the female which made her react instinctively. Thank you for another wonderful video!
Thank you for the caution about having a definite destination in mind for any spiderlings you breed. One of my major issues with breeders of any kind of animals is their seeming disregard for the fate of the little ones they create. My opinion is that if you help create the life you are responsible for it. (I do really love everything about your channel.)
Thank you 🙏
Wow! That was intense! I love the big spider pairings. I think your male there really likes foreplay and your female is a bit of a tease.🤣 I hope you gave him a great big fat roach as well, seeing as he did all the work. Thanks again for an amazing video. Now I can turn out the light and go to sleep. Have a lovely end to your week and we will see you both on Sunday. Take care and stay safe.
Very good advice about breeding spiders and making sure you have a home for them, cause even 100 babies is too much to keep for yourself. Dave is always great at warning us if a male is going to become lunch so that we can skip ahead if we want. This was stunning, such beautiful spiders!
Agreed, I'm sure many appreciate Dave's sensitivity in warning us about his male's fate!
Thank you guys so much. Very beautiful enclosure with the fungus on the bark and the greenery. These Geniculata are massive. Spectacular ending. Lots of Arthropods in the soil once he kicked up the leaf litter. 🪳🙏🏼for an egg sac soon❤️👍🏼Take care and thank you for your passion for the hobby
So nice of you❤️❤️❤️
Dave I know a while back you had the issue of fans dissing other tarantula enthusiasts. The fact of the matter is that there is someone on the net that gives out false information so for a beginner like me I so very much appreciate your channel.
Thank you we really appreciate your support my friend ❤👍
You are the David Attenborough of the spider world! Amazing! The enclosure you made for her is lovely and suitable for such a queen!
It's so fascinating to me how little we still know about these creatures. So interesting to see their habits!
There’s my girl, she my favourite spider in your collection. So chill, when she was next to your desk she looked she was always watching what you were doing. Miss seeing her in your videos, chilling out in the back ground.
What a beautiful spider 🕷💖
Yippee!!! Another great vid👍❤️❤️thanks Dave and Super Camera Woman.
He’s gonna be like, children this is how I met your mother and how I almost died in the process 😂
This beautiful Male Spider he was given a second chance to spread his wings
It’s great he was ready for action
Thank you for saving him
That Hissing Cockroach that doesn’t hiss it’s a shame they are used for food
Very satisfying seeing a successful rescue at the end. Live another day!
These 2 are the same pattern and it was hard to see what legs belong to what's spider but I loved it, good job Shaving the Guy
Great video DAVE , always full of good information, little bit hairy there chat!
This, is lucky Phil!
I woke up to pee. This should help me get back to dreaming. Thank you! ♥️😊🕷️🕸️
Oh dear. She was trying to have him. Glad you saved him.
As the saying goes - 'It's a thin line between love and hate'!
This is one of my favorite T's, they are just so gorgeous, he must be sensing something's just not quite right with her, great brushwork Dave nice save. From her body language I thought she would always going to pounce on him because she wouldn't leave The High Ground.
I think we’ve all been there where those spiders were. Too’ing and fro’ing, mixed signals, or doing ‘all’ the work. I’ve some sympathy now!
This channel is unlike any other Tarantula channel
Very entertaining and informative
This channel should be so much bigger
Thanks for the great content Dave 👍
Thank you so much 😀feel free to share everywhere my friend ❤️👍
He is saying, " come o'le girl, be sweet now, and lets get these formalities overwith, so you can get on with your business of producing your lovely egg sac filled with all those precious little eggs " 😉 😌😄
Michigan 🌷🐦🇺🇸
Wow oh wow that's a crazy pairing. Man if the male hadn't had to do all the work during the pairing, he could of held her off at the end I think, but very glad you stepped in to his rescue, love your videos keep up the hard work.
Hi Dave that was such a fantastic pairing. She played hard to get, but he never gave up. They were so beautiful. That paint brush is a great life saver. I love your channel. Your narration is so interesting, and great information. Camera lady is so wonderful at getting the best view, it may not always be easy to get. I am glad that his leg is ok. 🕷️🕸️Cindy USA
Many thanks
Cant blame him, I'd be apprehensive too!
Thank you, this video was amazing. I am glad you helped him survive.
@25 mins she's deffinatly sulking 🤣
Another fantastic video!
This has always been my favorite species, the one a I had when I was still able to keep them behaved more like a puppy than a spider. She never postured and a don't think she ever even kicked hairs. Used to watch TV with me lol.
Goodmorning Dave and Sweet Camera Lady and that's a huge amount of spiderlings to take care of if you are lucky and if you don't want that amount you can find yourself unlucky! It's not fare if you don't have as you say a plan for it and i agree! Life is life...respect! Now I will watch the video and as usual I'm sure it will be amazing! Have a happy end of the week and weekend, hugs from me 👩🦳 and Trollet🐱🐾❤️.
Dave, I am all about naturalistic enclosures and I have to say, this one has grown in nicely. I love it! Great video as usual.
Fantastic video Dave!
That poor guy had his work cut out with her!
Great save though, I thought she'd got him but it seems he's living his best life 😂😂
Fingers crossed 🤞 🖤🕷️
Nice save Dave!
If this were anybody else I'm fairly sure the male would be a goner.
Thank you 🙏
This was so interesting and the camera work was excellent. 👍
I have to wonder how long these courtships take in the wild, and how often they're interrupted by a passing animal, or outright shutdown by a hungry predator
Edit: Wow that got spicy! Very close call for the Male there. Good thing the hand of Dave was ready to intervene!
So much going on in these pairings it is very fascinating. Was glued to my screen for 30 minutes :)
Thanks!! Take care.
Thank you 🙏
Gorgeous tarantulas!! 😍🕷🕷 Thank you for saving the male!
Beautiful spiders and as always great camera work.
The idea of ever pairing a. geniculata is terrifying to me after watching mine eat ;)
God damn love you Dave!!!
❤❤❤
that got very hairy at the end there lucky you were on top of it and saved him. it almost looked like she was going to take him at any second from the get go 😲
hopefully we see loads of babies soon 👍😊
Wow ! That male was indeed very lucky. A few millimeters more and he was lunch ! Both are incredibly gorgeous. Best of luck for the 2nd pairing attempt. Hopefully then, the male still gets to live another day.
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
He did and went on to another breeder👍
Great video, great embolii insertion, amazing chill male save, great technique 👌 👏 🤩😍
Dave that tank has grown on lovely,stunning home for such a brute of a spider
Cheers buddy 👍
OH I CAN ATTEST TO THAT, YOU HAVE TO OWN ONE TO APPRECIATE HOW BIG THEY REALLY ARE, 🖤🕷🕸
Nice save Dave.
Nice save on that one!! It kinda seems like the fern also helped out his situation, she wasn’t able to fully grab him 😅
Boom….first out of the gate!
Also….please elaborate on flask usage! Hahaha
Fascinating as always. Great work with the camera. Fantastic footage.
Thank you 🙏
Fascinating to watch how they communicate with one another. My A.Geniculata is still only a small juvenile looking forward to watching em grow to this size.
I'm glad you can't hear my answers to your questions and comments in this video, Dave. "I wonder what the male is thinking," indeed! We all know what he's thinking! LOL! Great video. 😀 she sure was playing hard to get.
Great video/pairing, thanks for documenting!! Really was an epic save at the end, there, haha! Salvation from the fangs of defeat!😅👍
Awesome Dave!! loved the footage and the enclosure is beautiful. That male sure was lucky!
Well you finally pushed me to get my first Tarantula. I'm getting a Goliath next Friday 😁
Wow that’s awesome ❤👍
Diving straight into the deep end eh Brian? Good job and good luck man!
@@noahroy2391 Yeah why not Noah, I like the big ones so why not go all out and get a Goliath. The funny thing is the missus doesn't no yet. I'm blaming Dave! 😂
@@brianduffy9757 Also, not everyone wants a dozen spiders. I would only keep one, I think, so I better choose one I actually like. ;)
Great pairing Dave I really enjoyed that,u made the right call saving the Male.and thank you for sharing this great pairing.
Thanks 👍
Can really hear the mossy frogs at the end there. Thought your male - or female- was a goner this time! You got there just in time to prevent certain death there. I wondered about her intentions from the time she stopped drumming and, as you pointed out, was poised in a manner that suggested she may pounce. I think she was completely torn about what she was going to do from then on. Self preservation, or a big meal and self preservation? I thought from then that he was toast. Good save!
What a lucky guy 🤣
Not sure why, but everytime I watch these pairings I am tightly gripping the arms of my chair.
Holy crap what a great save Dave
Good save Dave.. I do not mind it when the male gets it.. that is part of nature.. But I also like to see you help save the males.. That was an amazing paring.. so many questions I have.. But I will find the answers.. that way I can learn more than just the answers to my questions.. what was that noise I heard at the end there? I had to play it twice because I wasn't sure if it was here or there I heard it.. Well, thanks for all you do to teach me (and many others I am sure) about the wonderful world of spiders.. Carry on!
They were mossy frogs calling
@@daveslittlebeasties Cool sounding creatures.. and Frogs.. well they appeal the the little boy in my always.. frogs and snakes.. Stay heathy and safe Dave..
Dave you have so much knowledge, you should write a Beasties book for breeding spiders, with some lovely photos of your beauties and the eggs with legs and slings.
Fantastic idea, I would definitely purchase!
What a beautiful spider
Hi Dave !! I picked up a 41/2 inch Brazilian White Knee female tonight !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great choice ❤️👍
I sometimes wonder what"s the difference in weight between the males and females specialy the dysmorphic species ... You must feel it when you have them in a catch cup... OMG so happy you could save the little dude 🥳🥳🥂🥂 great vid Dave thank"s that was incredible to watch . They"re beautiful spiders Romeo"s got the groove hi hi with some help from calm and but fast keeper Dave. I love these vids it"s like having a close up look at something that you don"t often see in nature docu. And i"ve seen lot"s ... Hoping for a gigantic egg sac..
The males are much lighter than the females
Fantastic video Dave, absolutely fascinating Dave, looked like another successful pairing, it was lights out for the male Dave but thanks to your experience, you stopped her from finishing what she started, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady.
Thanks George ❤
I find your videos absolutely fascinating but NO WAY would I ever keep one 😂. Keep the videos coming Dave
Thank you 🙏
Another great video and commentary as always. The end was a bit sketchy but a little feistyness in a relationship is good.
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely video and scary too! I'm glad you were there to help the male. Whew! AND...I absolutely love your frogs commentary too! ;)
They get in on everything 😂😂😂
Oh my gosh I was thinking right after you said the name of the spider "I think that's the spider he had on his very first video" and then you said it right after. That's crazy lol
I like the warning you give. I do like to know if I’m going to see a sad ending so thanks for that. These are very pretty spiders!! ❤️and that enclosure isn’t half bad either! ☺️
Glad you like them!
Wow! That was intense! I love the big spider pairings. I think your male there really likes foreplay and your female is a bit of a tease.🤣 I hope you gave him a great big fat roach as well, seeing as he did all the work. Thanks again for an amazing video. Now I can turn out the light and go to sleep. Have a lovely end to your week and we will see you both on Sunday. Take care and stay safe. I also wanted to add that I love the stripes on her spinerets. They look like they belong on a zebra.
See you Sunday ❤️❤️❤️
