Stressed out. Balding abdomen hairs, you should shouldn't shove your Pulchra into a corner and force it to get out by going on top of your hand... you can se it frantically trying to figure out if you're a threat when you picked it up... at one point, I almost fell off your hand and bed.
Trash Cans will Rule The World Tarantulas like this will develop bald spots and thinning hairs when they're ready to molt. That is not a sign the spider is stressed.
Balding rump is usually the first sign of premolt and/or stress. But in this case, looks like premolt. I have a t who is stressed over a female and is fully matured and has slight balding, more like thinning rather than balding.
this one is also about 10 years old but it's been that size for several years. I have more work on my enclosures, got some ideas, and will be even better, thank you man.
it's awesome, you feel the gentle velvet touch of the tarantula, the big ones weigh over 50 grams so you feel its weight in your hand and you realize that you're holding a big spider which isn't going to bite you at all (most cases) and it's cool, might be tickling, always exciting
It really depends on who you're talking to. It varies from owner to owner. I never had an issue handling mine, though as some others have said, you can tell when they want to be left alone - just like any other pet.
Ok i need some help. My male g. pulchra is around 2 years old, maybe 5 inch legspan spread out. He just molted a month ago and see he has his tibial hooks and emboli? From what i can find on the internet male tarantulas dont get those until their final molt but male g. pulchra are supposed to live 5-7 years? This guys only 2 and seems too small to mate?
+Rawhead Rex He is mature and this was most probably his last molt. Do not worry, he might live up to 2-4 years after that. It appears that you have fed him well, 2-years to maturity for a pulchra is quite fast. =)
Damn.. I thought he would get bigger. I wonder if thats why he hasnt wanted to eat much since his last molt? I got 2 from the same batch, they were both the size of small crickets. They have the exact enclosures, fed them the same amount at the same time. They used to molt within days of each other. Then maybe around a year ago this guy started molting more. Now hes ahead of my other one by atleast 2 molts. Im guessing its a she? I thought i read males grow and mature faster than females. Hoping its a female but she mangled her last molt. Anyway thanks for getting back to me. Dam only 2-4 years left. Didnt want to see him die so soon. He seems small to be mature? Ive had rosy hairs that were alot bigger than him.
+Rawhead Rex Hopefully the other one will turn up to be a female and live long and happy life =) It is true that males grow faster & die younger, my pulchra is quite large, but I have also seen quite small mature ones, so it's also about luck.
Beautiful. She seems rather tame and doesn't mind being handled at all. Have you ever been bitten by any of your spiders? They're not poisonous to humans anyway are they 🤔?
This Tarantula is in a poor condition and extreamly stressed out. Her abdomen is nearly bald what menas she kicks a lot of hair what they only do when they are stressed out or feel threaten. He handles her high above the ground what is extremly dangerous for the Tarantula. A fall from just a few inch could hurt them and kill them. They are very fragile, especially their abdomen. i feel sad for this tarantula. And yes most spiders are poisonous but tarantulas poision is considdered as medical not significant. It can hurt and make you feel bad but wont kill you. The mechanical damage they can deal with their large fangs is way more hurtfull.
I completely agree with you, but I used to have a terrible arachnophobia and by handling my Rosea it helped me to get rid of it. She does not seem to mind either, but I respect when she show me she want to be left alone.
I've got wonderful female adult G. Pulhara and it was never taken out of her tank. She looks amazing with her black velvety body. It's real challenge not to handle it but it's better just to observe them through the glass 😉
Delightra Cardeanne I'm feeding her mainly with blaptica dubia roaches, but she eats rarely, especially during the winter. She doesn't particularly like the temperatures dropping under 25 C, and she is hiding in the den right now. I have given her other prey - including a mouse (you can see the video if you're intrigued, but it's quite... 'visual'). I'm proud of my pulchra, as she is a very decent size and is a calm and docile tarantula. =)
A mouse?? Woof, brutal. And I can imagine winter is a hard time for her. My fish seldom eat during the winter either. I think that's normal, though. Again, gorgeous T. And roaches are one of the best things to feed them, and sustainable as well :-)
Cool specimen bro :) They kinda reminded me of mouse spiders of Australia except they're like the tarantula versions of em because of their huge jaws and large fangs relative to body size lol I have one juvenile female too but still got a couple more years to reach the full caliber of your monster :)
Awesome. My next T. I have an h.mac right now and im itching to get a g.pulchra really bad. Im not going to risk handling the maculata. To damn quick lol these guys look so laid back.
Hi, i'm thinking on having a spider as a pet, and i just have a few questions, does this spider has ever bite any of you guys? Is it docile? Can i teach her things like grab objects or crawl on me?
Poosr Tarantula. You are a danger to her. 1. her abdomen nearly is bold what means she kicked a lot of hairs and fell threaten or stressed out 2. you are handling her high above the ground, if she bolts, she will fal to her death. You should noot keep tarantulas if you dont know how to handle them proberly.
Non c'è niente di giusto in sto video. Terrario assolutamente sbagliato, troppo alto, pratica di prelevamento con le mani pericolosissimo per la migale che potrebbe cadere e morire.
Robert Powell it’s a UA-cam video, I’m allowed to post my opinion on the video that’s the actual fucking purpose of the comments, sorry for expressing my opinion that there music choice for this video is an absolute horrible choice, others may have different which is why there’s a comment section for them to post their opinion
I can tell you’re not very experienced in this hobby, one that tarantula obviously is stressed out and does not want to be handled, that enclosure is way to tall, this is a terrestrial species, they stay on the ground or low to the ground, it climbs to the top and falls you’re gonna have a dead tarantula. Another thing, not really a big deal you’re handling your tarantula. You’re trying to wow people who are ignorant to the hobby, all you’re doing is stressing your animal, this video is just disgusting, you even almost let it fall off the bed, you throw off an irresponsible vibe, feel sorry for your animals.
You’d be ripped to pieces on aracnoboards, be glad you’re not posting this there. That was nothing buddy :) no respect for someone who is so careless with their animals.
Tvenom 1996 You have a point there and I see it, the video is quite old and it was shot for fun, I did like handling my tarantulas from time to time back then, the situation is quite different now and all the Ts are great, including that particular one which is still gorgeous.
Stressed out. Balding abdomen hairs, you should shouldn't shove your Pulchra into a corner and force it to get out by going on top of your hand... you can se it frantically trying to figure out if you're a threat when you picked it up... at one point, I almost fell off your hand and bed.

If you read the description he states that its an old T. Probably balding from old age. She did not appear to be stressed at all.
Absolutely nothing wrong with handling as long as your careful
ok so like get closer to me the ground so it doesn’t fall and get hurt bc tarantulas are delicate...
The spider doesn't like him😂
My 6 year old loves your tarantula and keeps making me watch this video haha 😂
this one is also about 10 years old but it's been that size for several years. I have more work on my enclosures, got some ideas, and will be even better, thank you man.

Thank you and I also have another question how does it feel when a spider is crawling all over ur hands
I Have an inch long G-Pulchra Tis a mostly chilled T. . Except when food is near lol . . Love this Spider. 💙🕷
Nice vid, horrible music.
Disagree 😁
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, yours is just wrong
Why am I not surprised this spider has a bald ass?
I still don't get it , no gloves
Clearly handling tarantulas is frowned upon. Amazing to watch.
It really depends on who you're talking to. It varies from owner to owner. I never had an issue handling mine, though as some others have said, you can tell when they want to be left alone - just like any other pet.
I dunno im all for observing them. Not one to test the reflexs of a big sp. Amazing to watch.
Respect. :)
I have a psycho 3" G. Pulchra. Hoping she calms down when she gets to that size
Ok i need some help. My male g. pulchra is around 2 years old, maybe 5 inch legspan spread out. He just molted a month ago and see he has his tibial hooks and emboli?

I got nervous watching her almost run off the bed 😰😰
=))
Awesome t and love the music choice. I love tarantulas and yes the big hearty ones make you realize your holding a spider. Now I must sub to you
Hi, is your Pulchra still alive? I think in 2013 this girl was around 20 yo. Stunning spider!
I have the same tarantula but its just a sling.
I'm thinking about this species as my next tarantula. Beautiful T you have.
good luck finding a confirmed female larger than a few inches 😁
I'm against the handling of the spiders, is very stressing for the animal, we can se by the abdomen (bald)... Spiders are like fishes JUST LOOK THEM!
I agree somewhat. I think it's fine every so often, but they're not to he handled like say, a hamster.
Abdomens get bald before they molt do your research. theyll turn black and it has nothing to do with handling them. She is fine
I agree with Brandon. The spider basically tolerates being handled but they do not benefit at all from it. So it shouldn't be done often.
I completely agree with you, but I used to have a terrible arachnophobia and by handling my Rosea it helped me to get rid of it. She does not seem to mind either, but I respect when she show me she want to be left alone.
Spiders are in fact not like fish, fish swim in water.
Get a rabbit if you want to pick up a pet
Since 2010. Thanks for your interest.
I've got wonderful female adult G. Pulhara and it was never taken out of her tank. She looks amazing with her black velvety body. It's real challenge not to handle it but it's better just to observe them through the glass 😉
How old?
Currently about 20 years old.
Aww, thats a cute T!
Amazing
What an awesome T. Ours is teenie. Great vid :)
Good video and good music. I might be the only one to say that by the looks of it haha
Cody Gilliland haahhahah, that’s why you are awesome :D thanks
What time period you feed your spider?
+Zoltán Pokornyi The truth is... when I have the time.
+Chained2Alice you are not picking her up calmly, you upset her, be more gentle dude :D they're fragile
You need a hide in there.
very cool vid!
Size biggest?
How long have u had those spiders
BIG! Did you scratch an "N" in her abd. hairs?
How old your spider???
+Zoltán Pokornyi About 10 years
+Chained2Alice she for sale? 😁
John Kennedy Unfortunately, no. She is my precious. =))
o único problema de fazer isso e que elas ficam carecas 😂 as minhas eram ai eu parei de pegar
This one doesn't kick hairs at me, so it's not my fault it's a bit bald :DD
Sad g.pulchra
I will continue making videos, that's for sure =)) thanks for subbing! Enjoy your Ts
Your welcome
wunderschöne Grammastola Pulchra 😉
sehr Ruhiges verhalten null Aggressiv
Haha, was she kicking hairs at you? She's pretty impressive.
Thank you, she is quite docile, does not even bother to kick hairs at me =)
Absolutely stunning. What do you feed her?
Delightra Cardeanne I'm feeding her mainly with blaptica dubia roaches, but she eats rarely, especially during the winter.

It's awesome that you can handle it, but I can tell you don't handle it often, just by the way it's acting
Absolutely correct, I haven't handled her in a couple of years now, don't want to disturb her...
its so beautiful
Nice song choice!
thanks, mate
Cool specimen bro :) They kinda reminded me of mouse spiders of Australia except they're like the tarantula versions of em because of their huge jaws and large fangs relative to body size lol I have one juvenile female too but still got a couple more years to reach the full caliber of your monster :)
Thanks, bro! Good luck with the T, hope it gets even bigger =))
+Chained2Alice Hey you're very welcome there bro :D I wish your big girl the longest and happiest life :D
Awesome. My next T. I have an h.mac right now and im itching to get a g.pulchra really bad. Im not going to risk handling the maculata. To damn quick lol these guys look so laid back.
very nice
why's the abdomen so bald, you feed multiple crickets?? Still awesome looking! 👍
Scary Dude
Beautiful tarantula and I personally thought the music eent very well with this video!
Patty Mullin Agree
thank you, the song is The Undertaker (Renholder Mix) from Puscifer's 2007 "Don't Shoot the Messenger" EP.

Puscifer - The Undertaker (Renholdër Mix) =)
thank you, for the first view, first comment and first like for this video too. =)
Nice video what's the name of the song
I liked it
Avesome video + Puscifer
Thank you mate!
thank you =)
Hi, i'm thinking on having a spider as a pet, and i just have a few questions, does this spider has ever bite any of you guys? Is it docile?
Can i teach her things like grab objects or crawl on me?
No the fact that you have to ask means no. do not get one
Heinrich Bestbier Absolutely correct.
Omg you can't have a tarantula if you think you can teach it tricks. Get a dog or somethin
Great video, distracting and actually terribke music. Shame.
I will be posting one or two videos of that spider today, you can check my channel later if you like =))
liar
Poosr Tarantula. You are a danger to her.
1. her abdomen nearly is bold what means she kicked a lot of hairs and fell threaten or stressed out

@@MADxHAWK hm, and she's 20 years old now, do you have such an old tarantula? :))
The music is so bad I just cant
Your loss. What a silly thing, dismissing something because of the music. Hit mute, for Christ's sake.
Jerah DeLaCruz wrd
Love the song
Non c'è niente di giusto in sto video. Terrario assolutamente sbagliato, troppo alto, pratica di prelevamento con le mani pericolosissimo per la migale che potrebbe cadere e morire.
Okay like the spider is cute but the cucking music gave me so much anxiety durring the video ughhh whyyy -.-
sounds like a problem with you more than anything else

No one has disputed your right to post your opinion. Opine away!
TERRIBLE MUSIC...TERRIBLE HANDLING.....TERRIBLE OWNER....POOR G. PULCHRA
you are so fucking bad at handling this animal, i feel bad for the little fella, you should just release it in the wild
Awesome video and music. G pulchra + Puscifer
