I own a specimen of Hamorii for 2,5 years now. Slowly growing, still smaller than the ones on the video, I abosulely love their calm temperament and colour pattern. Really great you guys provide us with glimpse into life of wild Tarantulas.
thank you for visiting our country, a couple of years ago I went to that place to take pictures of the population of tarantulas in that place and I am glad to see that you can still find there, excellent video

I’ve owned one , Many years on and she died of old age good temper little spiders , my favourite is the flame knee. I’ve had several And all lived to a good age , I’m now bringing on a new sling flame knee , just love them , great to see them in the wild 👍🙂
Keep these videos coming! I just love the respect and care you give to these wild specimens! Love the brachypelma genus and thinking about making one of them my first tarantula ever :)
WAY TOO COOL MAN!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I have one as a pet, born in captivity. I love her so much! How neat you got to see them in the wild!!!😊👍🏼👍🏼
So, so interesting to see, not only how you track the species and give valuable info on the habitat but how you never force a species to be extricated from its burrow but always ends with some stunning photography. I suppose you could place a ruler next to one to give an even better indication of it's size but far from me to imagine trapesing around carrying a ruler in 40 degree mexico!
I'm like so in love with your channel. So interesting and educational. Hahaha I feel like being a biologist or something like that. It was just not my forte but seeing this inspires me ✨ Plus, the tarantulas!!! So beautiful 🖤❤️ I can't wait to get one Brachypelma hamorii
The second spider looks more like Brachypelma baumgarteni, which shares the same habitat as B. hamorii along the Pacific coast of Michoacan. I keep both species in my personal collection, and I really think you found a baumgarteni.
Precious footage infornation thanks a lot this videos helps me a lot with the naturalistic terrariuns in my opinion only missed the location where you were at and the ouside/borrow temperatures and humidity one question the derivation on the color of that male can related do a natural cross of a harmori and bohemi or another brachypelma speciment ? Due the loose of habitat .One more time thanks a lot for the great information keep going cheers from portugal
As we were on such a tight schedule, its sometimes difficult to record such information. Just google average temps/humidity for the region (Colima) to give you a starting point. As stated, there's a lot of colour variation of this species within its range. B. hamorii and B. boehmei are not close enough (the Balsas river is thought to be a natural species divide) to naturally hybridise but with spiders, anything is possible. These field trips often create more questions than answers.
It depends, if your tarantula was named Brachypelma smithi, you must to know if she is from Colima or Guerrero, if your tarantula is from Colima, now is B.hamorii, if your tarantula is from Guerrero, is B.smithi. Now, if you have B.annitha, now B.annitha is junior synonim of B.smithi, Brachypelma smithi is from Guerrero only.

@@bugsnstuff I know all of those conditions very well, I keep tarantulas for many years and even made charts with that information for one of the biggest polish website about tarantulas. I'm just curious how temp/humidity change inside of burrows, which can be quite deep. That would be also very helpfull for beginners, I participate in small program for beginners as experienced support and I find hard to explain to them, that they have to watch at all data, from dry and rainy season, day and night fluctuation etc. Keep up the good work!
I believe Harmorii is smaller and the red (or orangey) knees are just the top part whereas Smithi (prev Annitha) have red going down the legs, well the first and second sections I think.
And then they tell beginners to be carefull with the height of the terrarium, because they could fall... Look at how high up they are at that bank and how good they can climb!
An now tp there's no more smithie they are all hamoie ,I think they should keep the name smithie just for what it's done for the hobbi an I bet %95 of people this is the first T they ever saw or owned ,I will allways say smithie ,I love the hole genius
It seems those in the wild are a lot calmer and reluctant to kick hairs than those in the hobby. Mine was worse than an old world. Highly defensive and always kicked hairs and have heard same temperaments from fellow keepers.
Maybe captive specimens are disturbed more often so seem more defensive? A spider unhappy in its environment will be more likely to react to perceived threats? Of course, relating any behaviour seen in captivity to 'wild' behaviour is pointless - they're both very different.
@@bugsnstuff look at the leg markings, we have had smithi and hamori both drum to each other, isnt this highly possible since its only a river thats inbetween and whos to say one or two were realised the wrong side?
A really good inspiration for building enclosure for this species

Those wild ones are tamer than my lil hair kicking monster :). Great video, love the big male. Keep em coming...
Lovely Hamorii 💞💞 Perfect Spider 🎉
The famed and beloved B. hamorii, beautiful anywhere but even more stunning in its home environment. Awesome vid, thanks so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thats a Wonderful Spider.💖😊
thank you for visiting our country, a couple of years ago I went to that place to take pictures of the population of tarantulas in that place and I am glad to see that you can still find there, excellent video
Sadly we only found this one specimen. 10 years ago there were many more to be found.
Where exactly in Mexico is this?

Gorgeous specimen you found there
Beautiful creatures, my favourite T's. I read somewhere that local people kill them on sight, they're considered bad luck. Is that true?😭

Thanks for the comments!
Yeah, they are lovely beginner T's, but be warned once you get your first T, you will get more, it becomes a very large hobby.
Always à pleasure to see such beautiful Ts in their natural habitat 😊
Thanks!
WAY TOO COOL MAN!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I have one as a pet, born in captivity. I love her so much! How neat you got to see them in the wild!!!😊👍🏼👍🏼
I need help determining the etymology of this species for a project. Was B. hamorii named after someone?
So, so interesting to see, not only how you track the species and give valuable info on the habitat but how you never force a species to be extricated from its burrow but always ends with some stunning photography. I suppose you could place a ruler next to one to give an even better indication of it's size but far from me to imagine trapesing around carrying a ruler in 40 degree mexico!
We often carry a scale bar which does the same job ;-)
Dude you deserve more subs, very informative videos

Oh I want to get one too but my wife says no :-(
Love your videos! Would kill for some narration. But either way I'm a fan
Thank you for showing us the natural habitat of these beautiful animals. As always awesome video!
You're welcome.
beautiful spiders, great shots!
Really beautiful! I have seen few videos of this specimen in its natural habitat! Good job!!
Thanks for the kind comments!
all spiders have been returned safely :D
great video
Nice sized one there! Mines got some growing by the looks of it. Great vid! Weather looks good.

Pacific coast
@@bugsnstuff ohhh
Nice spiders
Absolutely amazing I love your channel

@@bugsnstuff sorry for the late answer thanks a lot this helps me alot with my personal research
Awesome vid of an iconic animal :D
Great video guys I have a question what kind of cameras are u using to photograph the spiders
Mostly shot on a Canon 60D.
bugsnstuff ok thank you
2009 i've got sling brachypelma smithi, now she's 15-16cm (maybe) and the name is hamorii? *sorry my english not good
It depends, if your tarantula was named Brachypelma smithi, you must to know if she is from Colima or Guerrero, if your tarantula is from Colima, now is B.hamorii, if your tarantula is from Guerrero, is B.smithi.

This is tarantula
Would be great to see more information about habitat, even temperatures and humidity inside nest etc.

2nd tarantula i think that a smithi/annitha?
No. wrong region for smithi.
i thought B. smithi and B.hamorii are not the same ?
B.smithi and B.Annitha are the same species
Yes, B. smithi and B. hamorii are different species.
Smithi & hamorri are the same?
No, separate species.
I believe Harmorii is smaller and the red (or orangey) knees are just the top part whereas Smithi (prev Annitha) have red going down the legs, well the first and second sections I think.
@@bugsnstuff smithi -> hamorii , annitha -> smithi? Am i right??

Yes, but it's not glass.

That Hamorii the fLame knee..Auratum the more red knee,,,,
That male isnt a homorii
Please elaborate?
@@bugsnstuff it doesnt have the black inverts and looks more smithii
We know they cross breed in the wild and its only the river that separates these two but to me that is not a homorii
@@danandbaggyshow Black inverts? Who is the ‘we’ you refer to re cross breeding? Can you cite your references?
@@bugsnstuff look at the leg markings, we have had smithi and hamori both drum to each other, isnt this highly possible since its only a river thats inbetween and whos to say one or two were realised the wrong side?
