sorry dude, Tarantulas get theirname from a dance in Italy, when people got bitten by the wolf spider your mention they would perom a dance called the tatatella to sweat out the poision
One more crazy thing about T´s is that they can mutate and get additionally organs (Apparently) I just found out that one of my home bred LP`s has 6 book lungs.
I’ve had severe arachnophobia but have been working for the past 5 years to over come it. I currently own and affectionately care for 2 jumping spiders! I’ve been doing a lot of research on Ts and I’m ready to over come my final hill and own a tarantula! I just found your Chanel and I love your content!
Great video! One fact people aren’t aware of is that tarantulas are exceptionally clean animals. They groom themselves after every meal (at least mine do) and at least once a day, whether they eat or not. Further this grooming is very similar to the way a cat will groom itself. Further after finishing with a moult they always remove the exoskeleton from their burrow/arboreal hide, or web over it as though burying it ‘in the walls’. Also they never leave uneaten prey items in their burrows, and regularly will ‘re-web’ the insides of their homes.
I don't have a tarantula, but I do have a female Jumper. She cleans herself constantly. Every time she eats, drinks, or just because, she'll bathe herself for over an hour lol.
I'm suprised you didn't talk about the Tarantella dance! In the same part of Italy that the "tarantula" wolf spiders come from, superstition led people to believe that a bite from these spiders gave you a condition called "tarantism," a kind of mania. The reccomended treatment for this condition was to perform the tarantella dance! This would supposedly make the affliction leave the body. It was perhaps used as an excuse for emotional release since the society was pretty repressed at that time. The term refers to a few different styles of dance, and you can even watch people doing the tarantella on UA-cam if you want! It's pretty entertaining.
Here's one : While tarantulas gained popularity as pets during the '70s and '80s, they were first considered as pets since the late 1910s/early 1920s ! William J. Baerg, a college professor from the University of Arkansas, was the very first to treat them as pets. It is thanks to him that knowledge about tarantulas became eventually available. From 1918 to 1958, he studied a local population of Aphonopelma hentzi. He also traveled to Mexico, Honduras and Trinidad, collected specimens for study. He also allowed himself to be bitten or stung by Black Widows, Scorpions and Centipedes, so he could research the effects of their venom on people. Crazy, huh ?! All this is found in his book, The Tarantula, published way back in 1958. You're not going to find the original prints, but reprints are occasionally available. Definitely worth getting and reading. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Fact number 8 is my favorite one; tarantulas keeping frogs in their burrows is fascinating and sounds like it would make for an excellent children’s book idea. Thanks for teaching us these cool T facts!
I've been extremely arachnophobic for most of my life, but I am working on overcoming my fear and finding a new admiration for these amazing creatures. I'm a writer and needlecrafter, enjoying crocheting, knitting, needlework, and sewing, and they make beautiful webs and make their own yarn. How fascinating! I don't know if I will ever bring one into my home, but if I do, your channel has been tremendously informative and helpful. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I really enjoy your videos!
Tarantulas can regenerate limbs and even drop them during stress "getting hung up/caught on something" or during a bad molt when a limb gets stuck during the process. Typically it will take 2 molts to fully regenerate the limb back to a state where its not even noticeable that it was ever gone.
01:02 A common misconception was that _Lycosa tarantula_ was highly venomous, and its bite caused a hysterical condition known as "tarantism." This has been attributed to the origin of the tarantella dance from southern Italy.
I have 2 bonnetina minaxes that I got together as lil spederlings . They don't fight they just have 2 different borrows on opposite side of the enclosure. But I've never had any reason to split them up..
I drove a Garbage Truck in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks for years. My understanding of Hydraulics is similar to your Garden variety Tarantula. It’s very efficient way of moving things.
Love this type of video such a fountain of knowledge and very interesting especially the the medical side of things keep up the amazing work your doing great 👌
Richard this was such a great video. I'm not gonna lie I feel the collective have taken a different spin on videos recently.. iv not really enjoyed it. Great to see your back to the content iv been craving.. Great work bro
@@tarantulacollective I feel for the past few months you have deviated away from your normal content and style of videos.. don't get me wrong I'm.sure lots of people like them. Just not the content iv been after. I much preferred your husbandedey and rehousing and feeding videos. Anyway it's all good brother. Long live the collective
Ooh just thought of a video idea! Could you do a top 10 list of most endangered tarantula species? Would it also be encouraged to adopt captive bred t’s that are endangered? Maybe also include other ways to help these species too!
Tarantella is the name of a chaotic, fast spinning dance, from the southern Italian town of Taranto. The dance mimics the actions of the locally found wolf spider named "Tarantula".
Absolutely fascinating! I admire all the extraordinary colours of tarantulas.And I love your tarantula merchandise, I like the artwork with the skull,that’s why I will order a tank top and a hoodie!🕷💀👍🏻
So glad I saw the notification, new and exciting information, Richard. Very sad that some tarantulas are now on the endangered species list because of farming or deforestation 😔😔😔
AWESOME VID! Aren't there certain species of tarantulas that can stridulate? And make noise such as the L. Striatus and some theraphosa? That is a pretty cool fact I think. I am not 100% sure if it is true though
Yes. Most of the stridulating species use specialized setae ("hairs") on their legs, palps, or chelicerae. However, the sound is _very_ soft and easy to miss. From: www.theraphosidae.be/en/vogelspinnen/anatomy/ "Stridulation is the act of making a shrill creaking noise by rubbing special bodily structures together and is used as a warning sign when threatened. Those structures consist of either torn setae, paddle setae, plumose setae or small pikes (strikers). Forms and combinations differ from species to species and are proven to be a powerful taxonomical tool. In tarantulas those structures are located on the opposing faces of the chelicerae, on the opposing faces of chelicerae and pedipalps, on the opposing faces of the maxillae, or between coxae and trochanter of pedipalps and forelegs. In some species, such as Pelinobius muticus, stridulatory bristles are located on coxa and trochanter of the first two leg pairs. Length, frequency and loudness of stridulation depends on the species."
@@basementpets5327 My _Ceratogyrus marshalli_ hissed at me twice during the time I had her: once when I was removing her from the deli cup that she came in and once when I was trying to remove an uneaten prey item.
@@amicaaranearum Thats awesome! I have a juvenile L. Striatus which are supposed to have the capability to hiss. I will obviously try not to stress him out but I may be able to hear that during a rehouse
I learned about hemolyph in zoology during my associates degree. It's amazing how they work! I still have an irrational fear of spiders, but I learned a bit about them.
Cool video i ve got a geniculata for some time and i am enjoying all about this hobby with this and Other Channels like lobo exóticos and the dark den greetings from brazil
I LOVE the information about the toxins being used in research! This video is fabulous!!! I wish I knew about what toxins are in the venom and which spiders have what toxins! Such a pharmacological gold mine! Also, how do they extract the venom?!? You don’t have to answer my questions, I’m just saying I love your videos and they inspire me to want to know more! 😄
They gas the tarantula with CO2 to calm it down, then stimulate the fangs over a vial. Depending on the venom type they sometimes have to have a mini suction device to extract the digestive vomit away from the venom.
Some I knew, and some I didn't. I love hearing facts. I own cats as well as tarantulas. Cats have many hairs which are sensitive to detect the environment they are in also, and if they can squeeze into compact areas. ( Just glad the don't climb glass, and they don't get into the tarantula room)
Awesome video about tarantulas, I learned so much about these beautiful spiders! Silly question, but do tarantulas drink water the same way they "drink" their prey? I subbed and left a like!
My first and only T (small juvenile G. Pulchra) finally molted after 4 months 🥳 Though I kinda screwed up after and ruined the exo skeleton 🤦♂️😂 But whatever, the new darker color on her looks super cool👍
What T. is that at 9:31-ish? Omg that is an extreme beauty! Sorry folks, I'm very new at T's and going to be getting my first T soon, just not sure which one I want. Thank you!

I just found out that one of my home bred LP`s has 6 book lungs.
Little known fact: Those who love tarantulas are the most elite humans on the planet and have the best taste in hobbies.
Can't argue with that
100% agree
Spot on 😎
Good one bro +++ :D

This is actually so funny earlier today i had a biology exam and one of the question had to do with the tarantule sharing it's borow with the frog.
Great upload dude. Actually some facts in here that I didn't know, for once!
Tarantulas can regenerate limbs and even drop them during stress "getting hung up/caught on something" or during a bad molt when a limb gets stuck during the process. Typically it will take 2 molts to fully regenerate the limb back to a state where its not even noticeable that it was ever gone.
I think that's "daddy long legs".
6:50 Those pink toe footsies at were the cutest things I've seen today.
I shared this video with my students (4th grade to 6th grade) and they were glued to the screen in interest. Great video.
That is AWESOME! I am glad they found it interesting. Thank you for sharing it with them!
Any chance you're going to make an "evolution of tarantulas" type video? I think it would be amazing to see something like that
The beat that starts at 0:47 is dope lol. Thanks for another great upload.
Thank you for everything you do for the TArantuals and the Tarantula community.
Finally, a good video without dislikes. Theese are pretty rare.
There are 6.
such a passionate tarantula owner. respect
thanks my friend!
Awesome video! Learned some awesome facts!
Perfect way to brighten my gloomy day...anything tarantula related 🥰
Great channel dude you deserve more subs man 💯

I love your videos. They extremely informative and helpful.

Ah super video Richard, very informative and very enjoyable for novice and experienced keepers alike.
Video is very cool. It gives me more a reason to love them so much more
This is a great list! I find their eight little toe beans so fascinating.
Love the, "Only Buy Captive bred" sign off. 💕
I love Tarantulas
As always a nice video. There were definitely some facts I didn't know. The thing with the frog is cute, I think.
I have 2 bonnetina minaxes that I got together as lil spederlings . They don't fight they just have 2 different borrows on opposite side of the enclosure. But I've never had any reason to split them up..
This video is awesome. So much amazing info I’m going to watch it again now!!! Lol
"adult tarantulas have been observed going many years without food"
So people just out here starving tarantulas. Got it 👍🏽😂
I really love your channels.💯😏

Anyone else see the crickets going flying at 3:28? I love that clip.

Very cool info. I knew a few of the facts but had no idea about the other facts. Thank you for the education😊
I was surprised when they found that E. campestratus also lives with li'l frogs! It's a neat concept!
Hello great video information Richard
Thanks for watching
I don’t know how I missed this video but new fave

In Russian the world "tarantula" refers to wolf spiders, such as Lycosidae.
Tarantulas themselves are called "bird-eaters". And you can't mix them.
Also, if I might make a new video request: "How to re-house fast, flighty spiders"?
