Loved the way this video was done.

It really is!
Love the history of taxonomic classification of this species and the exploration of its unique geographic location.
Btw where can I find that drawing! I would like that as a poster please!
Very cool.
Wow, shocking that these aren't found communally in the wild (sarcasm lol). Excellent stuff.
That was an amazing video
Great coloration. It truly looks like spider version of Rafiki from The Lion King.
Great video with beautiful spiders😍
Many thanks
one of what I've been waiting for. also gbb soon
The drawing is super cool
Great video! Is there anything known or published about communal behaviour in the wild?
Not really but you can get more information with this article www.academia.edu/9705016/Monocentropus_balfouri
Hi, what kind of camera do you use for filming?) Action camera or SLR camera, or camera for video? :)
Thank :)
This video was iPhone 11 😉
I love seeing how these amazing animals live naturally.
did Dave find any signs of them living communally in the wild?
they are so beautiful spiders I wish I could have a communal group of them but they are quite expensive and I could only afford one. she did turn out to be female tho 😅
Even if you had the funds, you couldn’t successfully pull off a communal group with these tarantulas or any other species of spiders for that matter. Spiders are natural cannibals, and highly territorial minus mating season and towards their own offspring for the short time period they’ll even tolerate them. I see people make this mistake all the time not just with tarantulas, but animals period.
@@brianstallings4252 check your facts mate,loads of people keep these communally if they are from the same egg sack as well as some species of Poecilotheria.
Who the hell dislikes a video like this?
The finger slipped 😉
now find longimanus :)
