Hey Tom! I was the one who packed your order. Super happy they all got their safe, I was sweating the entire time I saw it was from Billie. Love from FN team
Thank you so much, Evan! You all did a fantastic job...thank you!!!
I just placed my first ever online t order with you guys! Can’t wait. I’ve heard such good things about y’all.
@@jillosterhaus7308Same here! Just ordered yesterday. So excited! Getting myself a Gooty Sapphire Ornamental and my son is getting a Salmon Pink Birdeater. His first T! Can’t wait. 💯
She legit just went "divorce is too much work, just ganna leave the room!" lol You two are super cute.
Hahaha She totally did. And thank you! let me know if you end up picking one up!
Finally, fearnottarantula baby!! there the best hand's down
Hahaha Thanks, Amber! They rock!
Looks like you had some really nice spiders in that box . Never had one up my arm yet .I an always on my own so maybe i should hang a mirror near my spiders just in case 😂
If you DO get one up the arm, it REALLY helps to have a second set of eyes! haha Thanks!
I bought myself a father's day gift from Fear Not. This is my first purchase from them. Should be here Tuesday.
Can't wait.
I hope that your spiders arrived safely! Congrats!
Awesome video and packed with info!! I’m a 64 year old retired nurse who recently came into the hobby. For years I’ve been interested in tarantulas and finally took the plunge in January. All of my T’s are from Fear Not Tarantulas. They are closest to me and boy do they deliver. I watched tons on videos and did so much research beforehand. Your videos are why I finally took the plunge. I currently have 8 and they are all doing well. From getting them as tiny slings to seeing them molt still amazes me. I’ve also found a rescue who would take them in case of my demise. Thank you for providing such helpful videos. 🤗
Hello, Gail...welcome to the hobby! That's awesome! I do a lot of work with Fear Not, and I've known Tanya (the owner) for years. They are good poeple. I'm so glad to hear that things are going well for you! Thank you!
I never thought I'd be interested in true spiders but that Harmonicon oiapoqueae is just gorgeous and I love the long trailing spinnerettes
And they get HUGE! I still can't believe that my famale reached 7"!
I absolutely love fear not! Out of my 17 T’s so far all, but 2 came from there! It’s always an outstanding experience! I have more in my cart waiting for another order lol 😂 I’ve debated on one of those curtain web spiders for a while!
I've been buying from them for 7 years, so I have a TON of spiders from there. haha And get one! haha
I watch a fair amount of your videos with my kiddos. My oldest asked when she saw the rehousing if Simply Limeade had started sponsoring you yet. I'm sure the call is coming soon, hahahaha!
Hahahaha! That's so awesome. Nope...not yet. I'm waiting for that call, though!
I simply love Fear Not Tarantulas! I grew up in VA Beach sobits nice to support a home town place!
I wish that I lived closer because I have to go down and visit someday. That car ride is going to kill me, though. Haha
@@TomsBigSpiderscurrently living in Oklahoma with an ear condition the can not take flying pressures. 19hr drive here lol. Next year though!! Thanks for a great video!
Hello great video unboxing and rehousing Tom
Hello, Moon! Thank you so much!
So excited, got 3 new baby jumping spiders today and a new Tom Moran video up when I arrive home from work 😎🥳
Ha! That's awesome, Shannon!
Ah brilliant video Tom, a fantastic father's day gift 🎁, wonderful species there, I got some new spiders 🕷 today Tom, I got a P irminia, D pentaloris, P pulcher and two T kalenbergi, one of which was a freebie, so im delighted, thanks Tom and Billie for always putting out such wonderful content, time and time, again and again.
Thank you so much, George! And congrats on your new additions; you have some great species there! Thank YOU for always taking the time to watch and comment. We both appreciate it!
Love Billies cinematography, it's like I get to watch over Tom's shoulder. Thanks!
She really does a GREAT job following things. I tried it once, and it's NOT easy!
I gotta say Tom, it’s very reassuring to watch you have a sling climb your arm. It makes me feel better about my own mishaps. I wish o would have seen this video before I rehoused my D. rufonigers and my E. cyanognathus. One I almost smushed trying to put my hand in front of it. And the other one bolted when I had the enclosure in my hands and I threw it. Thankfully the spider was fine (hiding under a purse that was next to me) and I was able to catch cup it and get it back safely. Both of those incidents put the fear of god in me. I’ve rehoused in a big tub since then. Jumping spiders were way easier and I got lulled into a false sense of security. Thanks again as always to both you and Billie. I used to watch some of the showier, flashier T channels. But you are my go to now and I always appreciate you knowledge, sense of humor, patience and kindness. And it’s really sweet hearing you and Billie bantering and joking. No response needed - you are a busy guy. Just want to say thanks as usual. Love the videos and the podcasts. Congrats on your new spiders and happy belated Father’s Day!
Hey, it happens to all of us! I definitely should have been more careful, though. Trust me; I've had my fair share of screw ups over the years, especially early on. I'm glad that your bad experiences didn't end too badly. The best thing that we can do is to learn from them. :)
And thank you so much for the very kind words. We know that we're not the flashiest or the most fun, but we have a firm sense of purpose in what we are trying to accomplish. I love to hear when people recognize and appreciate that! Thanks again!!!
Awesome fathers day gift.some gorgeous spiders Tom.
Thank you so much, James!
Happy Father's Day Tom!
Thank you so much, Joyce!
That was a fun unboxing! There always has to be that one that doesn't want to cooperate.
Every time. hahaha Thanks!
Thanks Billie, nice 👍
Thanks, Allen!
Haha..."That's what I get for mouthing off" You did really well with the escapee though!!
I totally deserved that. hahaha Thanks!
Spider mail is the best mail!
It sure is, Rachael! Hope all is well!
Hi Tom & Billie 😊 Hope you’re both doing well, and having a wonderful Friday!
I really enjoyed seeing you unboxing your Father’s Day gift from Fear Not Tarantula 😊 And their subsequent rehouse.
I’m not the biggest fan of Real Spiders (I’m sure they feel the same about me 😂) But I don’t mind the one with the “Butt Fingers” 😂😂 or Spinnerets. They’re pretty cool.
I love the colours of the one with the red carapace, it’s stunning! Well done to Billie, her camera footage was superb too 🙌👌
Take care both, have a fabulous weekend 💙💕🕷️xx
Hello, Joanne! We certainly are, thank you! Hahaha But you have to love those giant buttfingers. haha Thanks again!
Awesome gift! Glad you had a good father's day.
Thank you, Joe!
Quite the haul you got there, Tom :) Thank goodness you and Billie were able to prevent that tiny sling from being lost under your sleeves. That was a close one !
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Thanks so much, Luc! Yeah, Billie really hooked me up. And, yes...that was a close call. UGH. I totally jinxed myself earlier. haha.
Happy father's day to you, Tom! Love the new additions, especially the P. emeraldus as this is one of the two species of described Psalmopoeus I still don't have (I've never even seen P. langenbucheri sold here in the EU). Also love the "we are on a roll" statement immediately followed by a bolt up the arm lol. Great video!
Thank you so much, Lewis! I managed to pick up the P. langenbucheri last year; it was the first time I saw them offered here. Yeah, I totally jinxed myself in this one. haha Thanks!
I love Fear Not! They are one of the best vendors out there and within driving distance of me which is a plus! I also have a O. sp marinduque purple sling and can report that it is just like yours very wiley and spunky. Great video as always Tom, you may have convinced me to get more true spiders (I only have a Fufius sp. gold that I got from Fear Not in a mystery event if that counts).
Man, I wish they were that close to me! haha I love my Fufius sp. gold...they're adorable. Let me know if you ever get a curtain web!
Happy Father’s Day Tom!! Always nice to see an unboxing video! With the red carapace, the large curtain web at the end reminded me of a B. horrida (with “butt-fingers”😆)
Thank you so much, Chenin! And I agree 100%...they look just like B. horrida. I've been saying for years that B. horrida looks like a giant true spider. haha
Happy belated fathers day Tom! Awesome spiders! I've been doing research on Ts for most of my life I'll be 30 next year and just this year on May 26th I got my first T an adult female G rosea who I think is in pre molt and the 3rd of June we got that T. vagans we spoke about and it finally molted! And confirmed female! And I'll be getting a 3rd very soon 😂
Thank you so much, Kristian! And congrats on your first; welcome to the hobby! My first tarantula ever was a G. rosea. I will always love that species. Congrats on getting a lady with your T. vagans!
True spiders of size are impressive but I like the T's the best. Hi Billie! Have a blessed weekend.
I hope that you're healing up well, Joyce! Thank you!
@@TomsBigSpiders I am soon going to walk without the walker. I am loving it. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Hi Billie~
@@JJDigitalartStudio That's fantastic news!
Lol, butt fingers!!🤣😂🤣😂 I liked the emeraldus and the martinduque ❤
Hahaha Thank you, Melody!
@@TomsBigSpiders thank you for the laugh 😂
Looks similar to the Bumba Cabocla (Brazilian Redhead)...amazing spiders as well.
I think that I said the same thing in an earlier video with my female! I agree!
Love to see you rehousing from sphagnum moss. We ordered our first online tarantula order from FNT and researched how to rehouse shipped tarantulas. Every video we saw was paper towel in vials and expected the same. Was surprised and concerned when these T’s were all in moss and had no idea how to handle rehousing that way. First T was a teenie tiny Tapi that although was rehoused in a sterilite bin, bolted, and almost rehoused itself into our living room. 😅 Since then, all rehousings have been better planned out and in our reptile/exotics room, in a steralite bin, on the floor, with nothing around except a bunch of possible catch cups. 😂 Since that first order, we have ordered several other times, and all other rehousings have been smooth. 😁
Years ago when we shipped my O. philippinus slings out, we used sphagnum moss. I love the stuff for shipping!
some STUNNING Spiders there mate
Thanks, Michael!
@@TomsBigSpiders Your welcome Tom
i Love how long those spinnerettes are :3 they are all so lovely, congrats!
re the difficulty scaling slick plastic, i run into the "unless there's dust" whenever i'm dusting roaches for my reptiles. because calcium dust gives them traction.
They really are impressively long. Ahhh! I've had that happen when I feed my roaches and dust gets on the enclosure walls. Great point!
🕷🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🕷
Thanks, Lisa!
Great fathers day gift from Billie👍You've been a good husband, eh? Buttfingers...killed me. I like how you Americans come up with new word creations that are funny but still make sense 🙂
I think that I have, Mike. hahaha I just find fun ways to say things to keep myself entertained. haha
11:17 Tom, dude, love the sound effects. :D
Hahaha I can't help myself!
Haha well at least the runner was not bolty, kept ur Kool well handled. Love your videos keep up the hard work.
Very true, Joe! haha Thanks!
Very pretty spider. Great video 😀
Thank you, Pepper! Hope all is well!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks, Candy!
Beautiful spoods! I'd love to get some Orphnaecus species from the Philippines some day. My girlfriend is Filipina and while she doesn't particularly like tarantulas, she often asks "how are the babies?" in reference to my slings. As long as I don't start collecting frogs, she's fine with the hobby lol. Happy Father's Day and thanks for another cool video!
That would be quite awesome! The Philippines has some amazing species; I've raised up four so far. O. philippinus will always be my favorite, though. Hopefully, she'll like them when you get them. :) Thank you so much!
consider yourself lucky because I almost bought that oiapoqueae haha Happy belated Father's Day!
I certainly do! Thank you for letting me have her. haha
Tom! Is that a "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" tshirt?! You legend 🕷🕷
It sure is! Thank you! Hahaha
Great video Tom, hope you and billie are well 🤞🏻 she certainly did you proud with those spider's, i too love my Psalmopeous, lost a reduncus and victori slings the day after a show so trying to replace those just now, not often we have Emeraldus (yeah i did shout at the screen a few times 😂 easy mistake) over here that often but ill get them eventually, looking forward to the update on the H oyapoqueae enclosure. Stay well 👍🏻
Hello, Sean...thanks so much! We're doing great! And she sure did. Oh no...I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope that you are able to replace them. And hopefully you get some P. emeraldus over there soon. We are just starting to see them more here. Have a great weekend!
@@TomsBigSpiders Glad you're both ok 👍🏻 yeah were coming to the shows nearer to my end of the country now so, be easier for me to get along to some, not that we have many left to have, that's where you guys have one over on us tbh, if I can get them next show, pokies I want at one after then Tapinauchenius and a few others at last one, I won't need anything for a while lol. Have a great weekend yourself Tom, and thanks for taking the time to reply, I know you always do, it's appreciated.
Hey Tom, what a fantastic father's day gift!! Dipluridae are such great spiders and the webs are phenomenal. Do you know euagrus mexicanus? They are very similar to dipluridae spiders, but a little bit smaller and a bit more hardy. In case you don't already know them, I can only recommend them. By the way, psalmopoeus is also great 😏 my favourite psalmopoeus sp. is p. pulcher, I love thouse hairs and the "blond" color. Which one is your fave of them? Stay save and have a wonderful week.
Greetings Chris 🤘
Hey, Chris! Yeah, Billie definitely hooked me up. And I do not, but now I'll have to be on the lookout for them! Thanks for the heads up! As for Psalmopoeus genus...man, that's a tough one! I might have to go with P. cambridgei...or P. victori. Ha! I honestly don't know. I love my P. pulcher as well!
Great video as always
Thank you so much, Chantal! Hope all is well!
love how you pronounced marinduque perfectly! great vid as ever tom!!! :)
Thank gosh...I panicked that I had butchered it. haha Thank you!
@@TomsBigSpiders no joke you said it well! I am jealous cause up here in Canada we do not have that specie available. :(
Happy Father’s Day! Not my present of choice, but good for you!
Haha Thanks so much!
Great video man, love from MX
Thank you, Alex!
Well, that's quite the gift for Father's Day!
P.S.: Every time a sling takes a walk around your arm I feel the obligation to ask for an update on the Heteropoda sp. juvies.
Thanks so much, bud!
Hahahaha Yeah...that rehouse was fun! The largest one, which is around 6", is getting ready to molt again. The other, who is smaller at around 4" or so, is still eating. They are growing a little more slowly than I would have expected, but they are still getting pretty big!
Amazing video, wish we had Fear Not here in Canada
Thanks so much, Robin! You've got some good dealers up there, right?
@@TomsBigSpiders we have a few, I have only ordered from Tarantula’s Canada so far :)
Thinking of getting one of thoes Orphanaceous Marinduque! Nice to see they fast asf😂
That little booger just had to make me look bad. haha :)
Hey Tom! Love the video. Got stuck with a flat today at work... ugh... coming home and binge watching your videos and feeding tarantulas is the best way to unwind! I just picked up a Marinduque Purple, how are you finding it so far? Mine was larger and leggier than I was expecting but I love it already. The curtain webs remind me SO much of my B. simoroxigorum, they have almost the exact same body type. Super interesting to me how two completely different species from different parts of the world evolved to look so similar. Also, this video made me feel SO much better. My Phormingochilus sp. Rufus sling did the exact same thing as your Orphnaecus and I handled it basically in the exact same way you and Billie did, honestly the little guy was adorable, but I have had a little kernel of doubt in the back of my mind feeling like it was somewhat a failure since the sling did end up on me, but seeing you guys handle it and recognising I handled it in almost the exact same way and no one was hurt makes me feel much better about the situation.
All your spiders are gorgeous! I adore the curtain webs but I'm not there yet, maybe one day! Keep up the awesome work :)

Beautiful bunch of spiders. I’ve been wondering if you have Ornithoctinae sp. Vietnam Silver? I received one a few days ago in a mystery box and had never heard of them before. Really loving the species so far but doesn’t seem like many people have them. I’d love to see any Ornithoctinae videos in the future!
Hello! Congrats on getting the sp. Vietnam Silver! I do not have one yet, but I've been eyeing them. They're fairly new, so their isn't much on them specifically yet. That said, you would keep it the same way of other Ornithoctinae species! Good luck!
W vid
Thanks!
Tom, I think you're going to have to name one of those P. emeraldus Esmeralda now... :)
That's a really good idea! hahaha
"Buttfingers" HAhahahahahahaha
Hahaha
Lol my Lasiodora parahybana ran up my arm when I opened the vial … my wife was videoing 😂😂 it was tiny sling lol 😂
Did she help bail you out like Billie did for me? hahaha
@@TomsBigSpiders yes she handed me a vial to catch it lmao 🤣
@@clnfreakone8486 Hahaha Fantastic!
Billie you're amazing. Tom I have a question for you; what would you do in an EQ? I am terrified of spiders, and as a result, think of all kinds of scenarios.
She sure is, Shirley! And at risk of sounding ignorant, what is an EQ? I'll keep a lookout for your reply and answer then!
earthquake maybe???
Officially calling spinnerets "butt fingers" from now on!
Hahaha Thanks, Michael!
19:12 Hewp! lol!
I meant to do that, Bryan. Bahahahaha Yup...derp!
You should definitely try to get mantis at some point
I definitely will, Kevin. :)
First!!
Well done, Alex!
What moss do you use Tom? It's so green and pretty.

Butt fingers sounds like a punk band
It totally does, Cody!
Recently listened to your episode on pest control with Billie where you mentioned spraying bio mist for mosquito control. My neighborhood is apparently spraying DUET adulticide TONIGHT. Can you ask Billie if I should be more concerned or if it’s the same as bio mist?? Thanks!!
Hi, Leah! I think that I might have responded to this elsewhere, but just in case: she said to keep your windows shut and to turn off AC units while they are spraying. She said that it should be okay to turn the ACs back on an hour or so after they are done spraying. Hope that helps!
I want to make a fearnottarantulas order so bad, but it is so hot here that i don't want to risk it. September is only a few months away...😢 (average daytime temp is 95, heat index is like 105-115)
Do you have a local FedEx that you could pick them up at? They can ship to those. That said, I always wait when it's too hot or cold, just in case, so I get it!
@TomsBigSpiders unfortunately my local FedEx is still an hour away. I don't mind waiting a little longer. I have a lot going on this summer anyway. Found a way to make my art better, so all my focus is on that. Thanks for the responses.
@@omnist7903 Oh, the heck with that. haha Yeah, I don't blame you one bit! :)
Heeeeey the O.M.P. arrived! Enjoy buddy! They are awesome! mine is growing fast
It did! Thanks so much once again! That little bugger is definitely lively! haha Hope all is well!!!
Them curtain web spiders, people are calling them funnel Web 🕸, Japanese and Colombian funnel Webs
I usually refer to them as curtain webs myself.
@@TomsBigSpiders yes the original name 👍
@@TomsBigSpiders damn scary looking arachnid mate
How long did the oapoquae live ?
Close to 3 years. Still, I was expecting her to live longer. That said, she was HUGE when she died, so maybe it really was the end of her lifecycle.
Sorry, last comment.........Butt Fingers!? Hahahaha!!!!
Hahahaha Yup!
#semifossorial 😂
I immediately thought of our chats when I said that. hahaha
I got one of the O purples too, back in April. cool that we have siblings from the same sac ❤
P emeraldus and P ecclesiasticus are on my list for sure!
That's awesome, Rachelaleece!
Hey Tom I'm not on fb for personal reasons where else is a good place to get my mature females a date?
I would try Arachnoboards!
I’m over the moon that “the T man” himself made a video about Fear Not Tarantulas. I just ordered from them for the first time earlier this week and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I love my c darlingi sling so much
I did my first review of them 7 years ago! I've been buying from FNT for ages, and I always have a good experience!
@@TomsBigSpiders awesome 😅
