Hahaha Thanks, Mark!
Just took home my first tarantula a female P. machala, I always gravitated to dwarfs but I couldn’t say no to such a pretty spider 🥰
They really are stunning; congrats!
When I'm looking at buying a new species of tarantula, you are my go-to person for accurate information. Your videos are so informative and inspiring. I have recently ordered a pamphobeteus platyomma. I feel confident and prepared, and that's thanks to you, Tom. I eagerly await your next video. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
Thank you so much, Helen! I really appreciate that. Congrats on your P. platyomma!
0:41 Stay classy San Diego.
Bahahaha Good ol' Ron. :)
Start the day with a reptile expo, picking up 4 slings: B. klassi, H. maculata, A. ezendami, and C. fimbriatus, and almost picking up a 5th in P. cautus (if only I could have found more info on that specific species); and end the day with a TBS video. All in all, not a bad Saturday haha
Awesome haul! Is it a true P. cautus? I didn't think that those were in the hobby yet. If it is, I'm jealous!
@@TomsBigSpiders not sure, Caleb from Wicked Webz had some for sale. I ended up passing just because I wasn't sure on the IDs
Nice catch cup! I shall keep that in mind!
I've been bingeing Dave's little beasties for the last couple of months and tried several other channels but didn't like them. I'll never understand why people feel the need to over dramatize their content and poke/upset their animals to get "entertaining" footage.
I'm very glad I found you! Your videos are just as awesome and educational than Dave's.
And for me most important: Both of you always put the well being of the spiders first. 🥰
❤❤❤
Thank you so much! It has worked very well for me!
Dave is definitely one of the good ones; a man who respects them and treats them with the care they deserve. I hate when folks poke and riled them up for views.
Thanks so much!
Like yourself Tom I started out being more into the giant species, and have kept a fair few pamphos in the past…now I only have one haha. As time goes on I’ve actually grown more of an appreciation for the “pet rocks” (not a fan of that term), and now my favourite spiders are brachys haha, quite the 180 really! Yours here is gorgeous though, nothing like a “big brown spider” eh? 😉😂
Hey, Christopher! It's amazing how your tastes can change as you spend more time keeping them! :)
Brilliant video Tom, always straight forward and sound advice, they're a beautiful species of spider 🕷, I actually have a Pamphobeteus platyomma, a female, she's going to get a rehouse very soon, thanks again Tom for another wonderful video.
Thanks so much, George! And that's fantastic! I hope that they rehouse goes well for you!
7:15 Plus you gotta reserve some space for that S. calceatum I know you've been eyeing, right? :D
Of course! hahaha
Gorgeousness!!! 🕷♥️🕷♥️🕷♥️🕷
Thank you, Lisa!
Once again great video Tom! Pamphos are one of my favourites aswel. Just picked up a mascara sling yesterday haha. My pampho collection includes 7inch machala,7+inch duran,6inch antinous and 6inch nigricolor-all young mature females..definately an awesome species but quite mischievous with what they do with their enclosures.
Hello, Jonothan! Congrats on your mascara! And that's an awesome pampho collection you have there!
Hey Tom! Awesome video as always. Love Pamphos but my "big tropical terrestrial" genera of choice is Nhandu. One day I will get a Pampho if sp. Solaris ever comes down in price. Picking up an N. incei Oliver this week which I'm very excited for as it's been on my wishlist for a long time and my Orphnaecus sp. Marinduque Purple just matured male so I had a slot open up. I wanted to let you know that as of yesterday, my dad has been declared cancer-free. The surgeon was able to remove the entire tumour and there were no more cancer fells found on the pathology report. Thank you and Billie for your support, videos, and podcasts during the past year.
If you hear of anyone needing a MM Marinduque Purple, please let me know! Keep up the awesome work!

Hola, Charlotte! Sorry for the late reply; I took a week long vacation. haha That is FANTASTIC news!!!!!! You must be absolutely elated and relieved! Billy and I are both so happy for you. Wow...what absolutely awesome news!!!! And I'll keep my ears open about the Marinduque! Seriously...so amazing!
@@TomsBigSpiders hey Tom, no worries! Yeah we are super excited. Thanks so much to you both as always!
I’m in the middle (or hopefully end) of the dreaded long phormictopus pre-molt that I’ve heard you talk about in previous videos, I swear the day it finally molts I’m throwing a party. Loved the pampho vid!
Hahaha! Man, I've experienced SO many of those over the years. haha My sp. blue went years without eating before she finally molted. haha
@@TomsBigSpiders YEARS? Oh no, I didn't know I picked up an aphonopelma! Hahaha, it'll all be worth it I'm sure.
Hey Tom!
Haha a Pamphobeteus and that good ol' Simply Lemonade, you're speaking directly to my heart. 😂
P sp mascara was my 2nd sp. (after GBB). Just like you, I only give it big prey items (I'd probably go for a 1.5"+ dubia juvie once every 3 or 4 wks considering the size of yours 😅). Given the fact that Ts won't go into premolt before a certain amount of time, given the right conditions [temps, etc], no need to rush their feeding .. ;)
I gave mine about 7" of substrate to burrow (as a subadult, still in the same 18"*3 enclosure as an adult female). She dug down, and then expanded to the side so her burrow is probably ~2x7" long. She just dashes into it at the slightest disturbance, which makes her very manageable (although ~8" as we speak). Quite beginner friendly actually. 1 big dubia once in a while, water bottle cap refilled as it dries out, and mostly dry environment, and she's doing fine. I'm gonna jack up the moisture since room temps are going up (maybe I'll empty up my 5L [~1.5 gal] sprinkler in there 😅). Moist & cold = baaad, moist & warm = gooood!
Now, it's time to feed the monster haha. [Another good thing if you allow them to burrow, you know when they want to feed. They'll stay down in their burrow at night if they've got no interest. Right now she keeps coming back up so she's hungry fo' sho'. 😜)
Cheers mate, thanks for the upload & enjoy your Pamphos! ❤
Thomas
Hello, Thomas! Yeah, I'm giving more and more of my spiders deeper enclosures to allow for them to burrow. My chicken spider has remained burrowed, even though she is 8" now. That was a bit of a wakeup call. And that's a great point about knowing when they want to eat if they are burrowed! This one will definitely get deeper sub when it's time to rehouse her. Thanks again...I hope that all is well!
@TomsBigSpiders a chicken spider who likes to chicken out... Pretty good combination you've got here lol.
I just watched your 'intermediate species podcast' from 5 yrs ago, and I must say, I surely did everything wrong. 😂 Started with 2 GBBs, got Pamphos 2/3 months later, and 3 sazimai slings... they're all doing fine anyway. 😉
Finally moved one of the (~1.5") sazimai slings into a 6"*3 acrylic enclosure. Seems a lot more lively with the extra moisture. And it decided to burrow a bit this time. Nowhere like my pamphos who literally spent their days digging the whole thing out until finished. This one does little by little, when not basking in the open. Not all terrestrials are the same. ;P
All good here, thanks! Stay safe mate! 🙏
I wanted to say thank you: your channel was what finally made me feel confident enough to buy my first spider back in 2018 and have since kept a number of tarantulas and still do, even if I had to sell some of them due to me having to move into a smaller apartment ❤ I still learned so much from doing all of this and it was and still is amazing. - Ella from Germany
Thank you so much, Ella! And I'm so sorry that you have to seel some! :( All the best - Tom
Great video as always
Thanks, Chantal! I hope all is well!
I've got mine at fall 22. She's now about 14 cm. But She's more shy than yours so the most I see of Her are the feet. I hope She'll get bolder when older.
Maybe she'll get more bold as she puts on size, Mike! :)
Blast proof enclosure! ❤
Ha! Yes!
Have to my rehouse P. sp. mascara too, and am resigned to a minor spider tantrum as well. It thinks everything is food. 😋
Hahaha Hopefully, it goes well!
Thanks for the Video! i have three of them from 2021. They are my fastest growing Spiders. No Aggressions, very beautiful. They are in Boxes 80x40x40 cm with Substrate 25cm high. All three have digged a huge tunnel, where they lived. i see them not very often, sometimes in the early Morning. They are hungry all of the time. I love them.
Hello, Maggi! Thanks so much for chiming in! I'm glad to hear that yours still do some burrowing!
Gorgeous spider and enclosure. Where do you get your leaf litter from? How have your spiders liked the green sphagnum moss? Mine get some stuck on their feet here and there😂.
I usually pick it up off of eBay. I may gather some in the woods around her next year? And the spiders don't seem to mind the moss! haha
❤ she's very pretty😊
Thank you, Melody!
This is the only Pamphobeteus sp. in my collection at the moment. She’s one of my favorites. Always hungry and getting big. Her last molt is almost exactly 6 inches. I do wish they kept that Christmas tree pattern like when they are smaller. Still a really great spider and super glad I have her. Thanks Tom! (You introduced me to the genus)
Hey, Jeff! She sounds like quite the girl! And I love that Christmas tree pattern. It's so striking. Thank you so much!
Great video!!! I always look forward to watching your videos 😃
Thank you so much, Pepper!
Hi Tom, none of these in my collection, they've not really been on my radar, so I'll be interested to see how these progress over time, thanks Gary (UK)
Make sure if you eventually pick one up to let me know, Gary!
Hello great video information and rehousing Tom
Thanks so much, Moon!
Beautiful 🤎🤎🧡🤎🤎
Thank you, Candy!
I just got my first Pamphobetes sling earlier this week, super happy to see this video.
Congrats, that's awesome!
Hey Tom great rehouse.they are a gorgeous spider.i have a sub adult female a little skittish but they are eating machines.
Hi, James! Yeah, I love watching them hunt! Thanks as always!
Good to see your mascara, I remember watching the unboxing 😊 didn't take her long to get those stunning thighs through 🥰 great upload as always you 2
Yeah, she's growing really fast! Can't wait to watch the color changes as she matures. I hope all is well with you...thank you!
Hi tom I am getting a birdeater on the first of the month
Congrats, Hannah! Which one are you getting? :)
Hi Tom & Billie (camerawoman extraordinaire) hope you’re both doing well today.
Great rehousing video 😊 She’s a spicy girl, but beautiful 😅 I do like the Birdeaters though. There’s so many different species of them but the term fits.
Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Have a great new week ahead too 😊😊
We can't complain, Joanne! Yeah, there really are. Someone just said that they were getting a birdeater, and I had to ask which one! haha Hope all is well with you!
I know I am dumb about keeping T's but how about using a one liter bottle to scoop up the smaller T's with? Just asking. Is she really wear mascara? I bet she could teach us how to apply with all those eyes. It must take her forever to do her eyes. lol. Hello Billie. Have a blessed weekend. Hugs and love, JJ
I actually have a smaller, one liter bottle that I sometimes use! :) And she only wears it on the weekends. :) haha I hope all is well, Joyce!
@@TomsBigSpiders So far so good. Love your Spidee sense vids. Hi Billie.
In the beginning of your videos (the music part), there is a spider that walks along the top of the enclosure. Their front legs look quite hefty. What kind is it?
That would be a Psalmopoeus eclisiasticus.
Hi Tom, is there any UA-cam channels that you follow ? I also enjoy watching Dave’s Little beasties videos
Hi, Laura! I used to back in the day, but not any more. I DO appreciate what Dave does, though.
@@TomsBigSpiders I do prefer yours & Dave’s videos over many others. I do also like tarantula collective videos. Have a good weekend
So is this species primarily fossorial or terrestrial?and how hard are they to care for?
They'll burrow as slings and juveniles, but I wouldn't call them fossorial. They are very easy to care for. Keep part of the sub moist and drop in food. They are eating machines and grow quickly.
How big can they get?
8+ inches.
Hey Tom, probably too late now, but the thumbnail says Phormictopus instead of Pamphobeteus
Not too late at all! I just fixed it. I used an old template and forgot to change the genus. Thank you so much!!!
Hi . I need help . I saved a Black Velvet Spider on the farm , we don't have petshops and stuff near by , so I definitely don't have fruit flies to feed te little one . Looks like a girl . Can I give her Normal flies . What should I do . She was on our stoep outside on the cold tiles . The winter is starting soon and I know some don't really eat during this time . From South Africa
Wish I could send a picture but she looks precisely like the one on the velvet spider video
Awwwww...where are you located, Rene? You can send me an email with pics at tomsbigspiders@outlook.com.
I sent you an email . Thanks
Has anyone had a molting issue where it goes on its back like normal and not molt, then get up and walk. My G Pulcra is doing this. It looked like it was going to molt, but took a few days, then didn't molt and is upright again. It's been a week since. Humidity is fine.
Hi, Paula! Yes, I've had this happen a few times myself and have heard from others who have experienced it. I'm still not sure why some do this.
Thank you for replying. I feel a little better knowing I am not the only one. Did your's or do you know if the others you heard of made it because our's is still alive?
HELLO TOM & BILLIE, ITS CHANTAL FROM 🇨🇦 CANADA...I have a question pls, I have purchased a Catumiri cf. argentinensis tarantula and I've noticed that there are no care videos at all for this spider please guys I need some help here I have a few years experience with new worlds and mostly terrestrials but I am getting into the Aboriales now, please if you know anything about this species please help thank you. Also just a heads up about Outlaw arachnids from Denver is trying to sell me a tarantula and I'm in Canada so I know this is probably a scam so just to let you guys know that she or he is selling T's, told me $175. For an A. callcodes female with shipping included...😂ok I could be wrong but?? anyway.... I love my little tarantula already, I got her as a confirmed female and want to do right by her, at the moment she's set up like all slings...ty ahead for your time and knowledge ❤ give love to the rest of the family from all your fans in 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
I spoke to a breeder who had both a few years back, and he kept them both the exact same way. I think that I have a Catumiri video on here somewhere... ua-cam.com/video/QolzoYu03EE/v-deo.html
And it is 100% illegal to ship from the US to another country. I definitely wouldn't purchase from this vendor. Thanks so much for the kind words! - Tom
