I’m looking forward to the hour long documentary on Tarantulas. Well, one documentary for Africa, one for SA, one for Australia, one for Asia, and one for NA :D
love these vicious lil babies
Have u kept a C olivaceum
They're not vicious unless your a cockroach or some other yummy insect 🤣🤣🤣.
@@deeannahahn3421 agree 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just ran into one of these yesterday while walking in the jungle of Colombia. It was really mesmerizing I never saw a tarántula in my life and to see this was rather shocking
I can imagine, Xenesthis are big spiders! Hope you find some fascination in them :) great animals!
This is until now your best vid: smooth filming, calm voice, beautiful tarantulas. Cheers :-)
only practice gets you better :) thanks Wito!
Grüezi from Berner Oberland 🇨🇭 I‘m a huge fan of giant tarantulas. My favorites are in my collection: Theraphosa stirmi and Lasiodora parahybana. Not colorful, but fascinating to me, as every invertebrate I keep.
This is a great video, wonderful pictures and helpful infos! Merci villmal 😊
Need to make more of these videos as well as tarantulas get breeding!
Will always binge watch Xenesthis content
Xenesthis
@@birdspiders you got any idea when the Genus revision is coming?
@@StevenDoig-dr6kj no idea sorry - it's long in the making, that's for sure
Stunning species!
Would love to see you do a video on Phormictopus, you pick the specific species as I love them all :)
cheers Bill, we have planned something special for Phormictopus :)
I have bought a sling a week ago
Can't wait for it to grow
Very enjoyable video. Great work Martin.
thanks mate!
thanks for the awesome video, lets push the channel so that all tarantula lovers get to see it
Great spider! I also have a X. intermedia :) Thank you for sharing this information
As always, nicely done and worth to watch! Stay safe and healthy...
I finally got my hands on a X. sp. blue, I am so thrilled for it's arrival. I would love to breed this species. Beautfiul video as always. Just one point of constructive critic, the sound of your voice is booming a bit too much. I am not a sound engineer but it sounds that you are too close to the microphone, it's got to much bass and as a result is rumbeling a bit. Keep up the great work! I am already looking forward to your next video.
cheers Christoph! indeed I hear it now, the youtube compression made it worse, will be corrected next time
Great video Mate. Definitely taken it up another level 💥
Wie immer tolles Video! mach weiter so dann wächst auch die Community ;)
Amazing Video!
Great information! thanks very much for another great video Martin. Beautiful specimens!
cheers Ray, much appreciated!
Awesome video, good sir!
Beautiful images!!
great video with all the amazing information--thanks for sharing
thank you!
Great video, Gorgeous T's, have never really contemplated Xenesthis, have a few Pamphobeteus but as you said, the Xenesthis female does retain some of the coloration unlike Pamphobeteus, I may be looking at them more now, thank you.
Amazing video 👌🏾
thank you!
Awesome bud as always. What species are already described. And what is waiting as I see sooo many strange names pop up with xenesthis.
By the way. By far he best UA-camr for spiders. Love your content 👍👍
Love this genus, would love a couple of these in my collection
they are awesome spiders indeed!
Love it very nice
I’ve got myself a Xenesthis intermedia, among my other 13 spiders, can’t wait till it grows up and gets some purple coloration. Hehe nice video my man.
thanks! they are feisty eaters and grow quickly
@@birdspiders seems to be the case for me too xD
These are so beautiful.
remarkable indeed
Fantastic images of these beautiful spiders. I love my sp blue.
thank you!
Xenesthis 😍
wahnsinns aufnahmen! 😊
Thank you for your outstanding video! I have a X sp. blue, sling, who is exceptionally secretive. As I have no idea when or if this behavior will ever change, I enjoy seeing the various species in video. Cheers!
thank you Suzanne! much fun with your X sp. blue sling!
Great video! Wish I could get one of these, will have to wait until the prices go down here. They are still a bit above my budget.
Where are you from? And what is the price there for a mature female?
I live in the USA, and I am not sure how much a mature female would be. I have seen the slings of Xenesthis species go for anywhere from $110 to more than $200 USD depending on the species and any sales a breeder/dealer has on them.
@@critterlovermaria506 Wow that's quite the price i can only wonder as to what their price is here in Europe.
Ant update on the revision on the genus?
Great video! Thank you for saying to be ready to save the male cus I see some just caring about the video shot more then saving the male and it always happens to them and it's sad. So thank you
Fantastic job my friend. Loved your presentation and speaking voice. I totally agree about ethical and sustainable tarantula breeding and I also want to thank you I listened to your advice and a few others and my Pterinopelma sazimai female laid a successful eggsac on December 11,2020 they just recently molted to 2i and my Onyx's clutch total was 752 live slings with 150 unfortunately not making it to 2i so the total that would have been 902. I believe that is a very large eggsac for a Pterinopelma Sazimai, at least from what research I could find. Take care and I look forward to seeing more videos from you. Ibnsarachnids aka rob
cheers Rob! exciting news! that's quite a number you got there ready to be raised to adulthood, great success!
@@birdspiders yes sir and healthy. They are on their way to new homes. So others can admire their beauty as I have and I kept several slings to keep my collection thriving. Thanks for the support. Ibnsarachnids aka rob
Stimme übersteuert bisschen :D Ansonsten wieder richtig tolles Video :)
It´s sad that they are so expensive. I´m almost 6 months in the hobby and I stay away from the more expensive tarantulas. Xensesthis are growing fast and slings grow super fast (what I learned). In future I will get some for sure. I love when they pounce her prey.
I bet ypur collection has grown alot from the time of this post 😂. I find buying them as slings and raising to an adult is realy fun. This way you avoid them pricy adult prices. Not to mention the fun of rehousing and watching them grow.
Hey, just noticed I could no longer find your Ornithoctoninae revision video you posted around August of 2019. Just wondering whether you had taken it down for some reason. Is there an upcoming video regarding updated revisions?
I felt my tone was a bit too harsh on that one, especially since I know the authors personally. No need to leave it online. It's been 6 years since the revision and no one else took the time and effort to "clarify" it, as others claim - can't be that bad then huh?
hi. how do you distinguish apart X. intermedia from X. immanis?
maybe in the next 20 years or so this species will be readily available for everybody!
lets hope!
Hello great video
thanks mate!
Por qué cuando tienes tu primer tarantula quedas fascinado. Great video Martín
perfecto respuesta a esa pregunta! gracias amigo💪
Just thought about it today! That's gonna be my next one! 🤩
wohoo!
Is the intermedia more colorful then immanis?
not really, no :)
At what humidity do you keep them?
Gorgeous T’s
cheers Sam
They're so expensive, though! 😭 I have 19 others. Maybe we'll get some good breeding programs soon.
yes sadly thats the case
nice vidio
thanks!
Insane cinematography. Looks crisp af. Also, very good script and you have a great relaxing narrative voice.
The voice recording was a bit distorted which took some focus off the otherwise great production. The unconditional capitalization in the video title made it hard to read IMO and negatively impacted my expectation of the video before watching it.
I really like this channel and I see a trend of great improvements across all aspects of quality. I think this channel will be huge one day.
thanks Daniel, much appreciated!
what a degenerate criticism lol
@@ethanvandal184 right?
Love that booty in the air. This genus is very expensive in Ontario Canada.
I love the poecilotheria genus, but I have three Lasidora Paraybana which I'm told there has been a molt produced measuring 10" ❤️ brown T but so much personally.
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Question: can you confirm that sub adult males develop premature tibial hooks prior to maturity? An argument i encountered shows that males only develop hooks the same time as palpal bulbs but others say otherwise
They are hard as sh......t to get good eggsacks from. I trued mating them for 2 years. I had 3 adult females and some males. I got 2 eggsacks from 2 of tge females but they was not fertile. I kept them under optimal conditions in planted tanks and gave them drier and wetter periods but they where very difficult. Males where nervous and so on. This was long time ago, but i still remember. Great genus!. Good luck with the mating
yes the genetic material seems to be a problem, to much inbreeding between populations and different imports...
@@birdspiders Yes, this was back in 2005-2006 something. I unfortunatly dont have the "writings" of the breeding project anymore. So i dont remember the exact details. I kept lots of specimens. One X intermedia subadult female, and many X immanis. maby 5 slings and juveniles and 3 adult females. I bought most of them in Hamm. One of the female was huge, around 22-25 cm. The X immanis males i got one from a friend, and bought 2 also in Hamm. They where cheap back then.
I dont know if i had bad luck, extra nervous males and unreceptive females, but i remember that they was very difficult. Took long times from "putting in the males until actual mating occured" In maybe 10-15 breeding attempt during 2 years i got maybe 5 insertations and 2 sacks. I also mated with a male i brought up from juvenile, but same result. I gave the females a drier period before mating and flooded their cages in conjunction to breeding. I got 2 sacks but both had black, clumped together eggs. I have mated lots of speicies sucessful, but these speicies was the hardest of the ones i have tried!
I dont know about inbreeding. The males i bought was marked as X immanis, but they could as far as i know be X intermedia? I did not know the diffrence of X immanis and X intermedia adult male. I dont know if i have seen an adult X intermedia male. You know how it is. When you buy males from a breeder you trust that it us correctly labled. Back then, revisions and correctly identifying speicies by dna and other "Keys" like looking on embolous and tibial spurrs was not as advanced as it is today
I don't have any ☹
maybe in the future!
xenesthis for the win!
correct mate!
A giant brown tarantula downvoted this video. 🤔
hehe (: most likely
You mean a Theraphosa Specie? 😉
