- In this video the Dude goes over how to setup your Brazilian White Tarantula Kit featuring the Dude's Terra Aranea. This is for a smaller specimen that will be eventually upgraded to a 40 breeder. I discuss the care, how to setup your kit and the benefits of bioactive with this species. I am very happy with how this video turned out and I think the Nhandu Coloratovitallis will love it and thrive! Don't forget to check out Tom's Big Spiders for more awesome arachnid UA-cam content.

Awesome video
I chuckled at the end when you said ‘2020 is going to be an awesome year’.
I thought so too, ahem 😂
Best tutorial & product channel !! We missed the bio dude
Thank you so much for your support
Beautiful Nhandu Coloratovillosus!
I love your channel, and business, it's great to see another video.
Man, this terrarium build turned out beautiful!
Thanks for making this video! I don’t even own a tarantula nor do I plan on owning one any time soon, but I still watched the whole vido haha. I wish there were a lot more people like you in the reptile and arachnid hobby making great content like this on UA-cam. You can really tell that you care about the animal’s well-being.
I do have one question, though. I have done very similar bio-active terrarium builds in the past with live plants for various species of lizards and skinks that require a more topical humidity similar to this species of tarantula, but in my builds, I always found it necessary to create a shallow drainage layer at the bottom with clay balls or gravel separated from the soil by window screen mesh or gardening fabric that would allow me to siphon out the excess water that would eventually build up over time.
Whenever I have done it the way you did in this video, the substrate seemed to always eventually become too saturated and begin to mold excessively because more water would seep down through the substrate and stay at the bottom of the tank than would evaporate out of the substrate. Idk if I was just over-watering the plants, but they always seemed to struggle if I cut back on watering in attempt to dry up the substrate a little bit to prevent the inevitable mildew smell it would get. That was a bit of a long back story haha, but what would you recommend for these situations like mine? the drainage layer has solved all of my saturated substrate problems and my plants and reptiles are currently thriving, but it is a little bit of a pain to have to siphon our dirty terrarium water. idk if my problem is even considered a problem by more experienced reptile/arachnid keepers in the hobby, but any input from you or your viewers is more than welcome! Cheers!
I love the bio dude plan on getting a p regailis and more taratula stuff plants but a 6 inch T can be in a 12x12x12 tank the largest goilith bird eater a 10 gallon will work and the largest arboreal should get a 12x12x18 or 18x18x24 for over 8 inches
That is a really nice setup for a lovely tarantula.
Yeaaahhh finally some new how to setup Videos....
You’re so knowledgeable and creative!! Thank you for sharing this video, it helps a whole lot!!
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful for you! : )
awesome
Absolutely incredible setup! I'm not sure if its appropriate for this particular T or not, but overall I love your info, your setups, and your passion for both the hobby and your business. Congrats on your new location. I just bought a bioactive setup for my avic avic, and I can't wait to set it up!
Any chance you could do a video for fossorial tarantulas? I currently have a Cyriopagopus lividus and a Cyriopagopus minax that seem to be doing well in terrariums with about 7.5” of your Terra Aranea substrate. You always seem to have a way of making your terrariums very secure by giving the animals plenty of cover and hides but at the same time making the terrariums themselves look neat and appeasing to the human eye.
I saw your guys booth in Louisiana the past weekend bought a ball python kit the base one. And a pot crouton
Thank you!
He’s very informative. Thanks
Glad you think so!
Yeah 2020 suckt after all XD but it gave me time to start with tarantulas and now I have 8.
wish a good and healty 2021
Really enjoyed this build. When I was a teenager I had a Mexican red leg.
Just got my A Genic! Ill try this once its appropriate size for a longterm enclosure
Bio dude is elite
Great!
Thank you!!
interesting!!!!
You should do a desert bark scorpion bioactive terrarium
Not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me atm then you can watch all of the latest movies on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of months :)
@Morgan Mathew definitely, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D
Would this setup work well for a grammostola pulchra?
I added worms into my bio setup. But I'm not using light, as my scorpion would stress from it. So im struggling to find plants that would work well in high humidity and low light
Love your setup, but gotta point out that screen lids are widely considered deathtraps for fat-bodied, terrestrial tarantulas like this one. Will your LED lights transmit through acrylic tops, or is the screen a necessary hazard?
Could you use the same setup for a Acanthoscurria geniculata?
How do you disenfect the wood log?
Do you have to ever clean that whole thing out? That is amazing!! I am a brand new T owner and this is something i would love to do but right now I think I’m too new for this.
Thank you! As long as the enclosure is set up and maintained correctly, you shouldn’t have to clean it out, aside from spot cleaning glass, pruning plants, and the like.
You don’t need a Drainage layer and can you put earthworms in there to
It looks really good - especially the way you've taken a lot of care to meet the tarantula's needs. Please can you list what it all cost, please?
It’s all on his website
I just received my shipment of nine bags of Terra aranea. It turned out to be too much so I’ll have to save it for years down the line. I noticed they already come with a little moisture, will it mold even though it hasn’t been used or opened and what is the expiration date?
IT will be fine! would be best to let it dry out and store it in a tub to help keep out invaders!
Why didn't you add a drainage layer?
Probably because the tarantula would burrow right into it and not only mess it up, but risk injuries. I’ve had the same thing
Do you recommend packing it down once in the enclosure or just pouring it in and spreading it out?
Pouring it and spreading it out! the clean up crew and plant roots will have an easier start.
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter I just purchased the aranea and moss, how long is shipping because it didn’t tell me?
I was so impressed with the build but you really need to learn how to move an Handle Translator ,the key is karm slow motion ,
Do u not ship your products to the UK. I have been on your website and it doesn't let me. I love your products and would love to use them over hear in my vivariums.
Best regards

How do I find out about the tarantuls ur rehoming
If you are local, we have a few available for purchase here in our store location.
u should do an emperor scorpion setup
Excellent video, would Dubia roaches attack or stress out a Tarantula ,if They were used as an arid setup cleanup crew ?
Dubia roaches are fine. They wont harm the T. There have been a few people say they have had problems with lateralis roaches harming a molting T though, so I would stay away from those.

2020 was in fact not, a really good year. Well so far. 🤣😂
Entire year (sadly) will probably be like this. In US, at least. Most states already lifted their quarantine, which was obviously not a good idea.
web site doesn't work

You didnt make a falsebottom?
@16:50 bio dude a pot head confirmed 👍👍
He sounds like jerry Lewis.
I’m confused a little with Yur spelling. Did yu mean a nhandu coloratovillosus? I’m wondering so much becuz it’s difficult to find information on this species and I have one that I’m about to put into my first bioactive inclosure and ofc Yur sold out of all Yur specific kits tho. I’m kinda piecing mine together this time. Just wish my isopods n springtails would hurry up and arrive. Anyway if yu could verify this species for me please I would very much appreciate it.
Good morning Shawn! Yes you are correct, i do apologize for that. when we received the spider it was mislabeled and the labeling has since been fixed, and now fixed on here. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is common to not be able to find much information on some species unfortunately, i would recommend going into the bio dude bioactive group on facebook and asking if anyone keeps any there, as well as Arachnid specific groups. We would love to help you get a kit together, we expect our cork shipment this week for the kits, please reach out to our customercare@thebiodude.com team with your enclosure size and information so we can get you quoted! Hope this helps! let us know if you have any further questions! The Dude abides. - facebook.com/groups/BRASUS/
It suck you dont ship to Europe...
You have to learn how to handle beasties.
The Sound quality is so bad its a shame :(
Before we actually bought microphones the sound quality was not the best. I'm sorry about that, we hope you still enjoyed the video
You say want to give the beat care. You actually giving the wrong care for this species
Best*
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter this cemented me wanting to buy from you. I mean,I was already going too,but this was just the icing on the cake. 😅😅😂😂
Are those fake plants
Nice video but terrarium is way too complex. Do a simpler version. Otherwise,it's great
Pod heads hahaha
I dont think that's how you properly rehouse a tarantula. Although, the set up is good.
Frem what’s wrong with it?
Dude...right off the bat, wrong name. Its a Nhandu coloratovillosus not "coloratovatillis" or whatever you said...you made up a name. And the common name you said is also made up, Brazilian black and white is what this species is called. Amd again with the humidity requirements...they dont need no 75% humidity bro. Not this species. Stick to your reptiles and such. Also, Nhandu DONT web a lot. Very little do they web. Keep tarantulas for a cpl years, many species, before doing these videos so you know exactly what you're talking about.
Lol dude that is what I said - Maybe I didn't say it exactly on point, but ya know its not only typed in the description but I was pretty clear. That and I have been keeping T's on and off since 2002 - And I never said 75% humidity, bro - I stated that's going to be the intermittent high. I also have one of my employees who has been breeding T's and working with them for over 12 years who aided in this project - Ill be sticking with what the breeder, Amber and honestly what everyone else has guided me to provide proper care. Ill be sure to keep you guys in the loop!
Lol I just KNEW a T person was going to be all rude and snobby in the comments. I hope some day you realize there are ways to correct people’s info without being a jerk about it.
@@MaleficentHipster I just KNEW someone was gonna take it the wrong way lol. I wasnt being a jerk about it. I was just giving my opinion for a 2nd time to someone who hasnt kept tarantulas long enough to be qualified to give out information on them. Im fine with what i said and i mean, when you cant even get the name right...seriously lol. Thats like me making a video on reptiles when ive only had my gecko for 2 months. I may have come off as a jerk and im ok with that bc I know I was just stating my opinion and facts. I clearly said he knows his stuff when it comes to everything else, but leave the tarantula stuff to ppl that know what they are talking about. Merry Christmas
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter Yea, you did say 75%. You said they need 65-75% humidity. Watch your video bro. As I have said b4, you know your other stuff but tarantulas, let your breeder do the videos lol. Just sayin
@@invertevision4757 Fair response and noted. I appreciate the concern as well as how I can improve. It will be taken to heart as well as used to not only help me grow as a businessman but my business as well. Thank you for the feedback.
