Fun Fact: Squirrels are actually omnivores and some have been known to kill and eat baby rabbits. Based on the size of that rabbit skull, I doubt the squirrel killed that rabbit, more likely I took the opportunity for a free snack after the rabbit already passed.
Pretty sure they eat both baby birds and eggs taken from nests, given the oppurtunity.
Will they eat eachother?
I saw a squirrel fight with a crow over a mouse body once.. or maybe it was a small rat? I opted to watch at a distance.
Was about to comment the same. Ferocious and bloodthirsty little things. That is why people try to swuirrel proof their outdoor birdfeeders to avoid carnage.
So are chipmunks. I watched in shock as a chipmunk snatched an injured field mouse that was dropped by a stray cat near my porch. The mouse wasn't dead yet but this chipmunk started crunching it's skull. (I will never forget that noise) So I called my 82 yr old father and asked him and he remembered watching a chipmunk eat the head of a bluejay while sitting on the bird feeder.
I'd sooner have human bones in an enclosure than have an Orange Bitey Thing in my apartment. Beautiful, but terrifying.
I feel the same!
@Dark _ Demon i just put 73 so you are good now
@Dark _ Demon no prob i've been there XD
I adore having both in my abode 🥰
How did you comment 7 hours ago but the video came out 2 hours ago?!
Fun fact: while fenestration is the latticework of skulls, Defenestration is the act of throwing someone out/through a window!
yes
*I will save that information for later reference*
Fenestration is also the arrangement of windows in a wall. I guess someone thought the latticework looked like ornate windows?
The defenestration of Prague
I imagine that _would_ lead to broken latticework, so it checks out.

When my old Burmese died we buried him inside a pillowcase in the garden, a year later we accidentally disturbed his grave site and I pulled his bones out, I found something very odd amongst the bones and realised it was his last meals skull, it was really fascinating, my hubby said I'm weird but I thought it was so interesting

@@liilak8166 SAME 😅
SAME. I respect tarantulas more than tiny spiders. I can see when a tarantula is mad, but a tiny spider? Nope. They just RUN
Same. I like tarantulas, but I have an absolute phobia of wolf spiders, even baby ones. They’re often described as "harmless" but they terrify me. If a tarantula got in my house, I’d probably be able to catch it and get it outside, but when wolf spiders get in my house, it’s hard to keep from having a panic attack.
@@Annie_Annie__ yeah wolf spiders freak me out too if I’m gonna be honest.
Emily:”Eww human bones no!”
Also Emily: I know 2 companies within driving distance to buy human bones by name and the cost right off the top of my head.
Lmao didn’t even think of it that way 😂
I know 7 different places to buy bones and I have a few for snakes I use them all the time
It made me laugh too hard.
Not driving distance or at least not reasonable though I guess it depends on if you like ling car rides

The second I saw an OBT my brain went "Oh no". As someone who has been bitten by one of those fuckers (no I wasn't messing with one, I was feeding it and it ran up the damn tongs and got me before I could drop them), they are NOT for beginners, holy heck. They hurt so much, spent 2 days in hospital because of it.
I will never complain about my C. cyaneopubescens urticating hair again after reading that. Alright, I will still complain when they kick hair but less.
The image of one of there terrifying orange bastards running up the tongs just to ruin your day made me violently shudder
Cheese and crackers, I'm glad you're okay. I was scared of the exact same thing happening to emily with the feather, tbh. I've never owned OBT, but I'm not unfamiliar with them and just how speedy they are.
@@Textile_Courtesan “terrifying orange bastards” love it 😂😂😂😂😂
My Goodness
My favorite thing is how you're explaining that his bites are medically significant and he is super fast, all while leaving the lid wide open.
Actually "Orange bitey thing" is the scientific name, of the genus Orange and the species Bitey Thing
No no no, Emily just told us the species name is lower case! Orange bitey thing
Are you sure bro??????

Wait is she ok? You used the past tense “had”.
One day I really want one of those! For now I'll stick to my 4 brachypelma species and Mr Hannibal ❤
How big was that tarantulas terrarium?!
I think they meant her T. Blondi dead... RIP
Cow or crow skull?
I know this is so bad but I really think if he “teleported” I might accidentally smack him out of instinct...
It’s a pretty natural reaction tbh.
Imagine how that big of a spider would feel to crush! Ugghhgh... And I hate the feeling of crushing bugs already, that would kill me! Lol

Squirrels actually need to find things that are hard so they can grind down their teeth, usually they use deer antlers but sometimes even bones! Also could be for calcium I guess, or both!
That's actually really good to know! We recently rescued a squirrel from our crazy neighbors, and a friend of ours, who works with animals, has been raising her. I didn't even think of using bones to help grind down her teeth *and* provide calcium at the same time.
Awhhh I hope the squirrel will be ok! And yeah! Happy to help
@@river5172 She's doing great now 😊 And she loves her new bone ;)
Deer antlers are bones
Does the same apply to other rodents like gerbils and hamsters?
So my cats name is Hannibal, and Emily and I must have a similar voice range because everytime she said his name he looked at me and answered.
Aww
Haha, aww.
*immediately goes and sticks fingers in dogs mouth to find bone crushing teeth.*
Dog: 😑
I looked at my husky, she side eyed me, and I changed my mind. I looked at my Staffy, she immediately started wiggling with excitement. Maybe another time.
I have severe entomophobia and arachnophobia, but snake discovery got me through my fear of snakes and lizards in the past, so I’m trying to desensitize myself to spiders
That's awesome! I hope you will get the courage to someday interact with some of them, they are really fascinating and some are surprisingly docile!
Me too. For some reason tarantulas aren’t that bad but small spiders are? I still can’t make myself watch their isopod videos
It took me quite some time to get over my irrational fear of spiders and I even got a tarantula with a Halloween themed tank similar to this one and I’ve gotten so used to him, I just don’t like handling them
Emily and Ed: "They're known to 'teleport' they're so fast" *holding the lid open*
Me: *stress*
come to australia. we have huntsman spiders that live in our homes and do the exact same thing. 😬
*teleports behind you*
“Nothing personnel, kiddo”
Hahaha
Oh hi Sans *stabs*
Ah yes as an Australian i can confirm huntsmans love houses especially my bedroom for some reason 😰
I recently found out there are “Lo Temp” hot glue guns that are designed for more delicate materials/projects. Might not melt the background 😬🤷♀️
Low temp glue guns are also a lot safer around little kids.
I bought a dual temp for exactly that reason. Low temp will harden in seconds, but Emily seems quick enough to handle it well.
A dual temp cordless glue gun will cost an extra $10-15 but it's worth every penny if you get a good brand.
Yeah but affects the strength of the glue too right? Higher temp means more safe for the spidey
Emily: A rabbit is prey too everything
Me: even too squirrels
Squirrels will go after rabbits? I knew they’d decimate birds nests of eggs and baby birds, but not about the rabbits
@@battlebear437 All rodents will attack a defenceless prey animal if there's no risk involved, but in this instance (given that the skull was either an adult rabbit or a sub-adult hare and in very advanced decomp) it's probable that the squirrel was just scavenging carrion, probably from roadkill or a hawk kill.
So a couple things about what is actually recommended for OBTs:
The enclosure size and front opening is fine but the screen top can actually be bad for them, they can get their toes stuck. The light is unnecessary and potentially a problem in excessive heat and lighting, you'll barely see the spider as is, the light will just scare it. Ambient temperature and light should be fine. I would also give them more substrate towards the back so that they can burrow more.
I agree you want to make kind of a slope at the back to allow the T to have a deeper burrow and replace that mesh top with ventilated cut to fit plastic other than that it looks pretty amazing!
Agreed. No light, more substrate. Also, obt's don't kick hairs because old worlds don't have urticating hairs
10:11
fun fact - bone chewing in herbivores is pretty common! It's scientific name is Osteophagy!
herbies will mostly do so if they're mineral-deprived; the bones provide essential nutrients, such as Calcium, phosphorus and a bit of sodium.
Squirrels, mice, ground squirrels, and others will eat deer antlers in spring for the minerals (I know it's calcium but I believe there are other minerals they get). Which is why antler hunters have to get out as early as possible to find them.
@@mystic_tacos Deer will also eat baby birds
I find bones a lot of the times with little chew marks all over them, sort of ruins the skulls but I don’t mind! I give my pet rats antlers too to chew on and chicken bones for this reason
They can get botulism from it, though. Better to provide them with clean mineral licks to support their needs.
In rodents like squirrels mice rats etc they aren't doing it for the calcium as much as they are doing it to wear down their front teeth which grow constantly, bones being harder than wood and nut shells offer the ideal grinding surface for them
Me: Who are you gonna use instead of Grace?
“OBT aka Orange bitey thing.”
*Understandable have a nice day.*

i love how emily can name places to get human bones but won't let ed go buy them. she's tempting fate in this one

As we say in the tarantula hobby "Needs more substrate"
Giving him space to burrow is great but that's not enough if you want him to burrow. They like to dig deep and build tunnels.
3/4 of the enclosure is the recommeded space substrate should take up.
This enclosure is clearly or aesthetic and showcase purposes but I just wanted to mention this
Lol, I was totally waiting to see this comment!
If you hadn't said it, I would have! Lol.
Also you’d want to take out the mesh and replace with acrylic with holes in it. So the tarantula wouldn’t be able to get legs stuck in.
I am an OBT snob, I have so many complaints about this setup
The owner of the spider can add more if they want.
I feel like Id be down to donate my bones for an enclosure. It sounds weird to say but I would
I'd support it
Emily: “we have a whole deer in this bucket!!!!”
Human bones? No it’s disrespectful.
"I think I only had a partial semester on deer skeletons"
Did.. did you have entire semesters on the singular skeleton of various specific animals?
Exactly what I was thinking
Apparently, yes.
Yes, it's normal in various animal biology degrees.
I took Biology in college. We had one whole one on cats. There was also one for human bones, but we used fake plaster casts for that.
Sorry if I freaked you out a bit. Just wanted to confirm. 😅 Happy Halloween! 🎃
@@anonview -when I was in college, my roommate brought her dissected cat home to study. She stored it in the dorm fridge, wrapped in foil. Most of us knew, but somebody from upstairs got all excited, thinking somebody had leftover turkey or something. The aftermath was hilarious.
Two things here. Firstly, that mesh top on the enclosure is a safety hazard. Terrestrial and fossorial tarantulas are particularly at risk of getting their claws trapped in the pinch points between the wires, as they are ill-suited to keeping a solid footing while extracting the stuck limb. This can lead to a loss of limbs, or a fall that can potentially injure the abdomen. Exo terra enclosures are pretty easy to swap the mesh on. Acrylic or polycarbonate sheet stock is easy to swap in. The tricky part is, if they're in the enclosures you need to swap the lid on, you need some sort of temporary lid in the mean time while your silicone cures.
edit: You need lots of ventilation drilled in your lid material, especially as these enclosures have somewhat limited ventilation on the front, and this would be to replace mesh, which has maximum airflow.
Secondly, the OBT will need more than its diagonal legspan in burrowing depth. While it's true that giving them less substrate will cause them to web more visibly, it also is a major contributing factor to stress that will make the animal more defensive. I have an obt in over twice its legspan of soil. You can only see webs at the entrance to the burrow, but it has never threat posed, and when startled, goes right into its burrow where it feels secure. Without adequate substrate depth, it's almost like the whole enclosure becomes the burrow, and so removing the lid or opening the door is perceived as a threat to the burrow. If I were doing this enclosure, I would suggest swapping out the foam background for zoo med cork tiles (much thinner, you'll have another inch of useful space inside), and to slope the soil upwards in the back almost to the lid. This is a very attractive build. With the soil level where it is now, though, this would be a better setup for a Greenbottle Blue (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens), which relies less on burrowing to feel secure and safe.
I'm excited to see what you all do for your invert wall at your zoo. Larger enclosures for tarantulas, so long as you mitigate fall risk for large-bodied ground-dwelling Ts, can lend to more varied and natural behaviors being on display. I highly recommend, as you're filing out those enclosures, pick species that will have between four and eight times their legspan in space to roam in whatever directions are relevant to their lifestyles. There are many dwarf species that can be fantastic for display, and I definitely think a communal of something like Heterothele villosella would be eye catching. Of course, if you want to wow everyone and you have a massive enclosure available, a Monocentropus balfouri communal can be life-changing to witness. If you do any of those, though, you gotta find sibling slings that have never been separated from one another. Anyway, best of luck and have a great Halloween!
HOLYYYYY CRIPALING DEPRESSION DATS MILLIONS OF WORDS BOI HOLY HECKER DOODLES
bruh
you literally just wrote an ESSAY as a COMMENT
Imma drop in and say. Appreciate the comment. Super educational
@@will3333 They are actually very new to tarantulas, they have only ever owned one and they got it this year, and although they will have done research online nothing beats advice from someone who has experience since a lot of places online and especially petstores offer really poor care advice
I can second this. Tarantulas can loose limbs to mesh lids but another risk is them chewing through mesh. Dani is also correct in that more substrate will make them feel more secure and less likely to bolt and injure themselves. For most terrestrials, it is recommended not to give more than 1.5x DLS as falls from higher can rupture their abdomen. I highly recommend checking out Tom Moran (ua-cam.com/channels/Alaq0mRpx4nTqPgTFVzxxQ.html as he touches on this a few times, as well as providing good husbandry advice and is knowledgeable about most species. For faster moving species and all OW I would recommend his method of cupping the tarantula then transferring it, rather then just coaxing it along. I know you said this fella has a good disposition but as someone who had to chase their P. ornata all over the house its something that I would try and avoid.
Cant wait to check out the Invert wall!! Keep up the good work.
Emily: You might have to go to a hospital if you get bitten and they're very fast.
Also Emily: *casually removes the entire lid for several minutes*
I like how she unknowingly explained why the squirrel had the bones talking about rabbit teeth lol
"It's Halloween. I'm supposed to look like a ghost! Because I'm in the Midwest...and we all look like a bunch of dead fish." As an Ohioan, I felt that so hard. lol
me too XD
Yep also as a ohioan i agree 100% lol i am shark bait i glow in the dark im so pale
You got really lucky with its temperament... Mine just yeeted itself through the entire room and I had to go find it under my furniture. OBTs can be a real pain in the butt to rehouse.
Next level: H. maculata. Quickest spider I have ever worked with! Took me a couple of hours to finally capture mine when I first tried to rehouse him.
Yikes! Glad it's okay; I've heard tarantulas can easily be mortally injured by drops :(
Squirrles eat meat. They're not just cute little plant eaters.
I'm just justifying my being scared of them...
What? They're scary..
A lot of tv shows and movies get them wrong. While, yes, they do eat nuts and berries, that is not their only food source. They’ll decimate birds nests of eggs and baby birds and eat other meat, too.
As a bone collector and a tarantula lover this tank is really incredible!!!
Not gonna lie, love the tiling you put on the splashback, it has changed the kitchen so much despite being such a small detail. The lighting is also a cool effect. Know you've had it for ages but wanted to say that

Btw watch out with those screen top enclosures for tarantulas. Their feet can get stuck on it and make it lose their leg! :(
HOW DID U DO THIS THIS WAS ONLY UPLOADED 22 SECONDS AGO AND UR COMENT WAS DONE 7 HOURS AGO LIKE WHAT
Kel haha im a patreon backer, we had early access :)
Kel patreon supporters get early access
@@SenSenChan ohhhhh
Oh I didn't know that about the tops! What would you recommend to edit it before he webs it up too much?
Old world tarantulas are so pretty. My favorite is the one that’s named after David Bowie. Those ones look like living jewels.
I'm arachnophobic but I love your channel and turantulas scare me slightly less than other spiders so I still watch (probably more listening than watching because *fear* ) because I find your videos really fun and educational
Love it! I would love to see more invert-based videos!
so is no one gonna talk about the fact that Emily just casually as a bucket of real deer bones?
I’ve got a bucket full of possum.... and a turtle shell. >.>
Because she found them? It’s not that abnormal
I have many buckets of bones. You don’t?
i keep my bones in a basement with the bodies
i *wish* i had a bucket of bones
The feather is a great tool for demonstrating how serious the Orange Bitey Thing is about biting, lmao
"Clean up the bones and get Hannibal in there" sounds appropriate for Halloween
Me: *Is arachnophobic*
Also me: *Watches video anyway*
Yes
Well done that’s awesome 👏
:O that’s such a smart idea! I wanna do that with one of my reptile’s enclosures!
Edit: that OBT is gorgeous!
I use to scavenge bones from the nature preserve behind my house. I found deer jaws with all the bottom teeth. Found a few racoon skulls, and a few ribs and the like.
I feel bad for everyone with a spider phobia who has this in their subscription box but my gosh he's so freaking cute and I love him
Ed and Emily are officially part of the Vulture Culture community! :)
“Feeling cute.. might bite you later Idk” LOL
Ed being baffled by the OBT climbing on glass is the best thing.
One of my favorite snake discovery video was posted on my birthday
Parcel delivery: "Ed, your tib fibs are here!"
I love how Emily knows...with no hesitation... exactly where to get human bones
Such an adorable little OBT.
"They are known to teleport" ah, my favorite aspect of tarantulas, the teleportation
