    This is the first time I've ever felt bad for a spider. I don't appreciate spiders like he does, but I do applaud him for helping her from suffering.

    • @NellyRose7
      @NellyRose7 8 років тому +11

      Yes, you can see how much he loves them & how well they're cared for. I thought it was a such a kind, loving thing to do, instead of letting her suffer & die. He did all he could to save her but unfortunately she didn't make it :(

      +Molly Weasley If the spider was in it's natural habitat, removing it's molt "surgically" would never be necessary.

    • @mollyweasley3224
      @mollyweasley3224 8 років тому +15

      The same exact thing would have happened to this tarantula if she was in the wild. It was a problem with her molting, not her habitat. Nice try, though.

    humans are so amazing and caring towards their pets. the lengths a person will go to to to ensure the health and well being of even the most creepy crawly of creatures is nothing more than a miracle

      @kawancraigstewart 9 років тому +6

      Yeah its great the lengths humans take for pets and even deadly ones that would kill them yet the people don't treat people the same way. Risk our lives to save a shark or lion but treat each other like animals.

    • @myspacebarbrokenevermindif9892

      i would not mind spiders as long as they don't bite or attack. if spiders were big and docile as a dog i would love to have one as a part of the family even! but i'm never sure with spiders.. i will try not to harm any that visit my home and let them out! atleast there are no big ones here where i live..

  • @xMidnax

    Tarantulas are some of the sweetest creatures I've ever dealt with. We just lost one this week because he got stuck in his molt. Smokie was old and had showed signs of dying. The next morning, I looked and he was in a molt. I tried steaming the room and warm blanket around his aquarium. No luck. I've cried so much. They are a big part of my life. I rescue them and even if I'd had it one day, I'd love them forever.

      Not at all, I would be more upset at someone who took into care an organism that they could not or would not provide necessary care. It is a form of oathbreaking. I study biochemistry, the emotional reaction to what would be considered aberrant went away in favor of facts a while ago. I guess I am one of those weird people that would help express an anal gland if asked or drink a drink with an sterile insect, knowing there is no danger. I wish I could afford a pet, I'm pretty broke all the time :P.

    Poor baby. She had good friends. My snake normally sheds well 95% of the time, but occasionally needed my assist putting him in a humid box to help. This happened 2am in the morning when he was shedding in pieces. I was up until 3am. While a snake is easy to help, tarantulas are so delicate. The things we do for love.

I'm in my 20s and I've been stuck in my bed in the hospital for over a couple weeks, which lead me to this weird part of youtube, but I think I'm going to start calling your little corner the compassionate part.

    • @DaveASL
      @DaveASL 9 років тому +7

      no, they have no idea who you are and they don't have the brain capacity to have complex feelings. she was laying like that because she is stuck. Her body doesn't have blood flowing through it properly and she was stuck inside of a hard shell of old skin that was keeping her soft, larger body locked inside of it.
      the spider is soft inside and after it comes out of the old shell it hardens up again. she would have hardened inside her old shell and it would have killed her.

    This is amazing. I don't find much here about this aspect of husbandry but it's important. I have a juvenile/spiderling for the first time. I am wanting to prepare for this potentially catastrophic even should it ever occur. Thank you so much. You might save my kid's life one day because of my having had access to your experience, strength and hope.

    This Video might just have saved the life of our geniculata. She got stuck with to opposite legs and one pedipalpe. We just removed the molt, but she ripped one off almost entirely. She's in ICU right now and my boyfriend and i are really anxious about her... hope she'll last over night... and will live... but she's a real fighter... so sad over Sammy, but I dunno what we would have done without these Videos... Thank you so much...

    • @Hellosnubby
      @Hellosnubby 7 років тому +9

      Certain spiders are known to socialize, but none are scientifically known to form social 'bonds'. However, several spiders are known to have different 'personalities' - or at least individual responses to different stimulations.
      Saying that a spider is friendly would be a... relative term. But if I were you, I'd look into jumping spiders. They have a, by spider standards, particularly developed brain, so if any spider is to grow conscious enough to be 'friendly', it would probably be one of the newly evolved jumping spiders.
