Got a question about our fellow stars?
Feel free to drop it down in the comments so I can answer it in my next video! :P
how long do Ts tend to live for
Exotics Lair should you kill centipede in your house?
Exotics Lair whats up! Can you pls do a obt rehousing because i have an obt that i cannot transfer to the new enclosure
Exotics Lair how long do you normally wait to feed a T after they molted? Also if a sling buried itself and you can't see it, is it best to just leave it alone? Sorry for all the question. I'm having beginners heebie jeebies xD
I love your videos! I would love it if you did a "beginners" video on everything a beginning tarantula owner needs to know - best species, supplies, dos and dont's, etc. Also, how did you get into this hobby?
I've had Ts lose their fangs in a bad molt and it was a nightmare feeding them. I'd have to wear gloves, hold the tarantula on its back, and basically shove pre-mushed up bugs into their tiny little mouth. It was stressful for both me and the poor spider. The thought that some people might INTENTIONALLY defang their Ts really upsets me :(
see Marks Tarantula for better ways. he cuts the pray so it cant get away and T can just suck on the cut area. It been working very well as his T named Fang has been growing steady every since.
Fang is already famous!^^
Lizard Teeth Same
Lizard Teeth excuse me for being a dummy on this subject I'm not a spider fan but I don't kill them on purpose, and I've just newly became fascinated by this hobby that some of the youtubers have, so question, would the t be able to grow new fangs back at the next molting? I know really dumb question but I really do want to know! Cheers!
Mhairie Lee They do / can grow back with moulting, however I am not sure of the length of time, or of the number of shedding it would take for one completely missing fang to regrow. I am not sure if it's 100% guaranteed, either, to disclaimer my own comment.
I used to hate Tarantulas, actually all spiders in general, however when I discovered your channel about a month ago and started watching your videos, now I adore them and really have much better understanding to how they are, thanks and keep up the good work
bebo ... i was exactly the same and Exotics had the same effect on me too...
now im looking into getting my first T... though, still got alot more research to do before i take the plunge lol
I have 2 cockatiels :o
bebo check out dark den if you like this channel. Other channels will pop up on suggested stuff and now I follow like 9 youtubers that do T videos.
I've got quite extreme arachnophobia, but after watching this channel I really wouldn't mind getting a T, New World only though, the Old Worlds still set me off
Same for me
It's like asking "should humans be Deteethed?"
more like de-jawed
De-mouth
Yeah, what kind of idiot does those questions?
Defaced 😂
B e h e a d e d
Your Rose-hair is always a delight to see.
She's climbs up and is all "oh hello there, would you like some tea?"
The gentleness of the feeding is such a strong contrast compared to your other species who are all varying degrees of "EHRMEGERD FOOD ALERT" and/or furious-threat-mode
I love how your rosehair was so cooperative throughout the video. Usually in your videos there's a bit of bolting, attacking, "You can't see it because it's hiding," and the occasional "Oh no it escaped." But in this video, your tarantula went above and beyond in terms of behavior; it even crawled to the top of the tank and held the super worm for a minute instead of doing a crazy tackle, almost like it knew it was part of an educational demonstration. How cute!
I believe its a new world t meaning its generally more calm and chill and depending on how long hes had her shes grown accustom to him.
Man, poor tarantulas that have been de-fanged :( that is very cruel...
Mealworm be like
*You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round, right round*
Made my day
😂😂😂
"If you liked this video, make sure to thumbs it up, if you don't thumbs it down" lmao I love how blunt he is!
Your profile pic is the same as my xbox one
NO don't defang T's. If you don't think you can handle a bite from one don't get one. Its not for you. That's common sense. Tyfs God bless you
And it would be animal abuse because you're starving the poor thing.
Dustin Hoornaert You can still feed them so they won't starve. Mark on Marks Tarantulas has one that a friend gave him. I believe it broke it's fangs on the tongs he was using to feed it. It seems to be doing quite well last I heard. He's waiting for her to molt. She's an a geniculata he's named Fang :). But yea, I agree, it's animal abuse..
I know Fang ! But I haven't checked on her for a couple of weeks ....i wonder if she molted since her accident....
Mark tasting the mealworm shake was the most hilarious and cute thing ever ! So caring about the little toothless fella.
hey Debbie it would starve them in marks case the tarantula lost one fang and one is intact or that wouldn't be possible to eat the prey item. :P
I cant believe that people would actually ask that or even do that...to defang....those people must be either totally stupid or crazy...ive no words, SMH...
Then these people should first CUT their own hands before getting a tarantula!!....
Would you pull all your dogs teeth out? Would you remove a birds beak?
Theres your answer
Sadly some people DO....
And de-clawing......people can be awful
Answering a question with more questions, good
It is weird and isn't right unless those teeth are in unsaveable condition. You can throw all the excuses out there, but that doesn't justify taking something they use on the daily for no *good* reason. No reason is good enough.
@another special snowflake no they don't? They stay rather soft and even reabsorbe parts of the jaw line, just ask any human without teeth or look up dogs who lose teeth
Or would you circumcise your son?!
I think when it comes to removing parts of animals the general rule of thumb is to just leave it alone, if you can keep it as a pet then it is probably harmless or at least docile towards humans it bonds with, no need to take away teeth, fangs, claws etc.
The only animal parts you should remove while its still alive is tumors and other detremental parts not supposed to be there.
Ian Davis Definitely.
Ian Davis What about neutering a dog?
Eh thats debateable.
Ian Davis Some animals can really benefit from being neutured, for others it's just unnecessary.
As far as im aware, they dont only need to inject their venom to subdue the prey, the venom also digest the prey outside their bodies. So defanging a tarantula would kind of be equivalent to removing all of a humans teeth and their stomach. That doesnt sound nice.
Is it possible to completely shave a tarantula
Harleydaplayer I'm not sure how you would remove a tarantula's hair, but if you did I imagine it wouldn't be beneficial. So yes, it's definitely possible to remove hair from a tarantula but then again it's also possible to commit murder and skin kittens. Don't try it.
Not really. They get all their lost hair after a moult
With the right shaving cream anything is possible
INTPguy11 Pulling a blade across a tarantula isn't wise. Even before you pull out the razor you'd have to consider the shaving cream, most chemicals are nothing but toxic for creatures that small, both to inhale and directly ingest.
Absolutely not
i used to be pretty scared of spiders but after watching your videos i have come to appreciate them. especially this rose hair tarantula.
I’m always excited when you upload a new video
I think you get these questions because it is possible to remove the fangs and/or venom glands of snakes. Unfortunately, people aren't usually aware of the massive anatomical differences between vertebrates and arthropods. In venomous snakes, the fangs and venom aren't too important to their ability to eat if they're being fed pre-killed prey. With spiders, their fangs are HOW they eat, so removing them would be like removing a vertebrate's lower jaw.
Exactly! Their venom not only paralyzes their prey, but also dissolve then, without it they would not only be defenseless, but would also die from starvation.
The thumbnail for this video is the best you've made, yet!! 😄 and I have no comment on the de-fanging of ANY animal other than I do not agree with it at all.
Love all you videos. You don't only show great videos you teach us at the same time. So thank you
Man I gotta say you have a really dope collection of T's and you take great care of them. Great job!
What kind of hideous pig beast would even consider defanging an animal?
If you own an animal and consider any kind of mutilation that isn't for a medical reason (this includes tail docking, declawing/fanging and ear cutting!). You should not be owning that animal. Humans are the worst. I love your videos by the way dude!
hello there human
what about tail docking on hunting dogs?
I have a Kelpie he was born as a short tail puppy. I had some idiot accuse me of docking him which id never do she tried to tell me I was lying and that I probably did it myself with a rubber band, I almost broke her nose at that comment.
The vet wanted to clip my cats ears after fixing them I said you clip the ear I'll cut something off of you my cats kept there perfect little ears
@@lizzielove9339 She probably wanted to nick them to identify them as fixed cats,, as you do with a TNR cat incase yours ever got out. It doesn't hurt them to have a tiny nick in their ears and its actually beneficial incase, again, they get out.
Great video as always
Will you ever do a face reaveal ? Love your channel 😌👌
Totally agree, he's at like 2 mil subs now
Ya
Question: Why are some tarantulas so colorful and others very well camouflaged? Is it like bugs where the bright colors are a warning to stop them being eaten or is it for something else like attracting a mate etc? (I'm guessing the camo colors are just to help them hide and hunt prey etc)
i3su _ Its hard to say, science still isnt quite sure about the answer to that question yet. At first they thought the bright colors were for reproductive purposes but as we all know tarantulas have poor eye sight. On further study scientists found that in some tarantula the bright blue colors on the spiders arent that of which you'd see on say a green leaf or pink flamingo. They are "precisely arranged nanocrystals" that apartly act as a mirror to reflect all incoming light except a certain wavelength that just so happens to be blue. As to why the spiders are colorful we dont know yet
At first, I considered it might be what they eat that gives them there color, like flamingos. But that's not true (what I think). Im just saying random crap so don't mind me.
ELITE SAIYAN lol its fine its all just speculation, although i pulled my information from national geographic. Some tarantulas generate a different hue of blue then others based on the arrangment of those nano crystals. I think the blue is generated BECAUSE they have poor eyesight. Think about it, its probably hard to find a camouflaged mate with poor eyesight. The vibrant colors could be used for that?
Kuishinbo TG:root yeah! Also, do tarantulas have natural predators? I mean, isn't there a tarantula wasp? That's a predator. I think that's there only predator.
ELITE SAIYAN yes the tarantula hawk is definitely a predator to these giant spiders, id imagine aside from that birds and lizards, anything insectovorous and bigger then the spider
De-fang a tarantula.. Well, if somebody knows that little about those creatures to even ask this question, they should not not yet even thinking about getting one in the first place. Because this really means they have not yet the knowledge to take proper care of their tarantulas anyway.
The idiot who asked is probably a troll.
Jason Kejn maybe, but there are indeed people out there who don't consider first, if they even should get a pet. They just want one and then, they are confronted with the reality.
In general, this ends poorly for the animal.
Myuutsuu85 it only takes some rudimentary knowledge of spiders in general to know that they use thier fangs and venom for digesting thier food so someone would literally have to know basically 0 about spiders to think defanging wouldn't be an entirely terrible idea.
Whoa your channel is growing so fast
Cool new channel banner it matches your old logo, which was so much easier to spot in comments, like DarkDen's old green one. maybe add the red ring around the pumpkin patch?
Aye, notification gang!
Hello
I'm really thinking about to get me some Ts because of your videos :D You're doing great, I seriously love your videos :)
Your videos are always awesome
Who is your favorite tarantula?
All of them
FANGtastic!
:D
a nice short straightforward video
So cute and gentle with her food!
I've got a question. Can an enclosure be too big for a tarantula?
AMAZING HOTPOCKET in my experience, yes. For example a 1 inch tarantula is given an enclosure that is lets say to wide. Not much height just very spacious. Usually a tarantula's movements is patterned, your tarantula may like that certain space in the enclosure and may choose to stay their most of the time so the extra space bcomes useless. In short a t enclo is too big if there is too much space for movement and too small if too little space for movement
Yes he has answered this in another video. If an enclosure is too big for a tarantula then the tarantula can become stressed. I cannot pinpoint the exact video he mentioned that in but I do remember him saying that.
If the space is too big the tarantula will feel unsafe. He answered this in an unboxing video of his rose tarantula I believe.
Alright then how big of an enclosure can I house a 1,5 cm juvenile foreksaple?
I haven't been in the hobby too long but I feel like it don't really matter the enclosure size as long as they have some cork bark they can comfortably hide in they should be fine. There are no boundaries in the wild. Also I feel a little extra space in the enclosure helps when you need to water or maintenance your enclosure. That gives them room to move away from the area you need to service. I have 2 poecilotheria with bigger enclosures and they have yet to threat posture or bolt. I actually handled them a few times. Not saying bigger enclosures are better than small. Just saying that with proper setup it should not be the end of the world
Do you cuddle with them without tongs? If so is it dangerous?
You can handle them without tongs, just not recommended especially with old worlds.
As far as I know he doesn't handle his T's. It's a bit risky, T's are not really predictable, even if one is usually docile.
Some have potent venom, so a bite could be very painful . It's also dangerous for the T if one shook them off for example. They can die from falling more than a few feet.
Ts are rather predictable though. If you know the habits of the specie then you if it can be handled just fine. As long as you are calm and pick up a docile specie you could.
Rom Kin true, I meant you cant read them as easy as a cat or dog . They have no facial expressions or body language we are well used to . And though some species are known to be usually docile there is no guarantee, even if a T is calm one minute she could feel threatened the next. For example the conmon rose hair is often said to be very docile, then people explain how theirs is the opposite and others in the other hand feel the need to proove how their T. is the sweetest, calmest T ever....And no one is completely wrong..But with so many variables I would not want to risk it not only for my health but also for the T.
If you go to the more recent beginners docile t video, he explains why you shouldn't handle.
Only 50 views, i ve never been so early ! Nice video as always
@1:10
#1 That superworm is like "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
#2 That is like the most gentle takedown ever--that tarantula politely took that superworm, and thanked you! x'D
They're cool
But yeah don't take a fang
Can wearing gloves protect you from the venom and what to do when your bitten? I don't own any pet tarantula but just wanted to know
Dude, I can answer the gloves question. If you're talking about thin latex gloves then no, the tarantulas would get straight through them. But a thick leather glove/ winter glove, then almost no tarantula could get through that.
Giannis Kalantzis thanks man
Some Tarantulas can be very, very fast so they could run up your head in no time if they get spooked, this should at lest be considered, especially with Old world T's which also have more potent venom. Most venom won't do major damage but some T's have potent venom which not only hurts pretty bad and can require medical attention. So it's best to do a lot of research when someone wants to get one and always handle them with care.
You don't have to do much if you're bitten. See if you can press some of the venom out and run the wound under some warm water. Sometimes it can get very uncomfortable, cause muscle twitches, or joint stiffness near the area that does require a trip to the doctor. It depends on how much venom is injected and how potent the venom of that species is. Many commonly kept tarantula bites are compared to having a bee sting, as far as venom goes.
If a person is allergic to insects such as bees, it is possible they are also allergic to tarantula venom. Most of the serious reactions to tarantula bites are allergy related.
Crofregernish thanks 😁
What a beautiful tarantula you have there! Awesome 😀❤️
I love your vids sooo much
Me:Actually 1st view just slow on typing
Also me:No you weren't
Me:just shut up
Christian Camartin Likes Potatoes xDD
I actually enjoy this comment. Good job.

Ultra blue Sand very carefully! Lol ✌😋
Ultra blue Sand 🕷️👉👌🕷️
You're way too young to be commenting on UA-cam
Well, if mommey tarantula likes daddy tarantula and doesnt eat him...
Ultra blue Sand You are on UA-cam dude. Look up tarantula mating! Loads of educational videos.
Nice and clear explain.
I'm always excited to learn as much as you can teach on the old world Ts
Here in Aus my selection is pretty limited, but I've decided perhaps the Phlogious Goliath would be the best T to start with... but still looking to learn as much as i can about them, or old worlds like them, that i can before i take the plunge and get one
I were trying on the notification bell on the subscribe button
The thumbnail killed me! :D
Also I don't see many videos on youtube dedicated on how to accurately measure the size of a T. That would be useful info for me and great for your channel. Thanks bro
Hi Exotics! I'm new to the channel and really love it! All of the animals that you keep seem to be very happy and healthy (Unless They are Pissed) and I really appreciate what you do for these spiders. So many people fear tarantulas and I really like how you make them seem friendly and bring out the true colors of our friendly hairy spiders. Also, I have a question:
Do you have any Theraphosa Blondi? (I am new to the channel so I do not really know if you do or not). Thanks!
Please make a video about your unidentified tarantula, like how you got it and what you think it might be based on physical and active characteristics! Thank youuu
I don't even like spiders but i don't know why i love your videos :D
She’s so pretty 😍
I checked this video because a guy i work with said he had a Cobalt blue that was defanged n I called bullshit - this video really cleared it up for me, i knew it would be mental, cruel and life threatening to defang anything - thank you for making the video, there are people out there stupid enough to think about defanging things so I hope they all see this video too
Happy Birthday
Used to have arachniphobia but I've come to love these little guys 💙
The thumbnail is so cute. XD
I'm new to your channel and I love your vids already, your super cool and funny 👍
Btw you should TOTALLY GET A PURPLE BLOOM BIRD EATING SPIDER :D
Pretty sure you’re the only person I’d allow to show me how to handle a spider. Just bc you keep chill and have your sense. Bc I probably would be scared to death. I just see so many handlers though and do hope I’ll hold one someday
I've always thought tarantulas were neat, but after being subscribed to this channel, I've started to consider getting one, once I have the resources to properly care for it, of course.
Agreed with everything you said, and in my opinion I think if anyone has a tarantula and had it defanged then you don't deserve to have them. It's cruel to remove them as it's crucial they obviously need them!!!! As every keeper should have insight on a tarantulas care, am sure they know to be careful and know how to look after them properly.
EYYY ANOTHER VID PLS DO AN OBT REHOUSING BECAUSE ITS MY PROBLEM PLSS
watch the dark den on his foolproof rehousing method, if the tarantula is big just scale it up. if you can, simply put the old enclosure in the new enclosure, open the lid, and let it come out on its own
Loving your content man, you make me want a T. So to transition from that here's a question, what in your opinion is the best starter T?
do more questions per episode
Hey, You probs won't see this, but I've started studying the Binomial Nomenclature of Tarantulas because of your vids. I'm not scared of Ts anymore. :D
Cool I love all your turantulas
I have a fear for pretty much any kind of spider. But I have to admit that the way she's acting at 0:48 is pretty adorable
Can you do a time lapsed video of the next new tarantula u get making the web in the container? I wanna see how they do it ad their webbing skills fascinate me!!! I love your vids and I learned a lot if new things about tarantulas!!💖
love your vids. keep it up good sir! this is going to be a very weird question I want a very hairy T what would you recommend.
These awesome spiders that you have are very awesome looking
i heard you have one from the philipines well.. im from the philipines but im not a fan of big and venom spiders but the ones you have but by. watching you feed them makes me wanna feed them too
hi man, you should get an ephebopus cyanognathus, the blue fangs are incredible.
First Time im this early to any UA-cam Video
I'm back from a trip so I couldnt watch the other vids but 100k sub's LETS GOOOOOOOOOO😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow that was actually a really cute calm tarantula.
Keep marking videos📹👍😎
What’s your best suggestion on getting rid of your fear of spiders?? I’ve been scared of them for so long. Ever since I’ve watched your videos I’ve been more curious. #notifacationsquad
Kirsty I was scared to death of spiders I busted my fear of them a couple of years ago I did what I never thought I would do I held a tarantula in my hand it wasn't planned or anything as I was having a panic attack beforehand over being close to one that's how scared I was that's how I got over my fear I held one
I’ve been watching yours vids since I was 5 and now I’m nine
Hello, I have a Honduran curly hair T and I was wondering how often should they molt.. I got him back in December and he has molted twice now once every two months. Also I love your videos!! ❤️ They are the reason I first got into loving Ts
WHEN YOU DO THE NEXT FEEDING VIDEO, PUT AN INSTANT SLOW MO REPLAY OF ALL THE GOOD CATCHES! GRACIAS
I subscribed and turned on the bell
1:00 I just love how gently she took that. But yes, please don't ever consider de-clawing or de-fanging ANY animal, it can be incredibly harmful to their growth, progress and development among other things. If you don't want something to have any claws/fangs then get a pet rock!
I have a question
My question is :when you will make water falling video? Because I love water sounds
As a child, I was deathly afraid of spiders. Bedtime was a terrorizing battle with the fear of spiders crawling inside my ears while I slept. Now I'm watching your videos thinking "could I own a pet tarantula" 🤔
What would you suggest buying as a beginner tarantula keeper? I've been watching your videos a lot lately and would like to get one at some point. Any tips or advice?
shes so cute!!!!
The main reason why certain people want to de-fang spiders is because they don't want to be bitten by a spider and there is a big portion of people on earth that have arachnophobia. So the thought of de-fanging spiders comes from people who are scared of spiders(like me :l). But if there is another way to keep safe from spiders and the spiders them self's safe,then people wont have to worry about dying.
I have a rose haired tarantula, her name is Fuzzy and I got her about 5-6 years ago.She isn’t defanged, she is doing well and she says hi.
How cruel that someone could defang a tarantula they need thier fangs as we need our teeth to break down food and to survive it would be impractical and horrible as they would starve to death without them I'm glad this was answered thanks exotic for this video
Hey man you should do a video about your self.
good feeding footage
Hello! I'm relatively new to your channel and I find your content quite interesting! I picked you up saying that you don't handle your T's. Why is that?
Thank you :D
I love your videos and my little sling won't eat, I've had her for a little over a week? Any tips you can give me? Should I give her a little while to feed?
i declawed my kitten and i regretted it. we should always leave animals and all living creatures as they are. they were made like it for a reason. keep up the great videos - i always leave a thumb up for every one i watched. now please send me that second spider - every time i see it it reminds me of a skeleton.
A local pet store near me clipped the tip off one of the fangs of the curly hair that I saved from them
Have you tried taking a brush (that is used for painting on paper) and "brushing" or "petting" your tarantulas? I have seen some keepers do it, and I wonder if tarantulas actually enjoy it or not.
EXOTICS LAIR HELP!!!!!!!!!!
a friend of mine has 3 T's (Brazilian White Knee, Common Rose Hair and a Chilean Rose Hair)and the C.R.H has lost it's fangs in a moult-gone-wrong. is it possible to feed them with mushed food? PLZ HELP!!!!
How much pets do you have in your house?! How do you survive everyday?
