Got a shock a couple of weeks ago. Heard a stridulation coming from one of my tanks. Could’ve sworn it came from an Acanthscurria geniculata female. Sounded just like a rattlesnake.
@@birdspiders sure! I am going to uprade her soon I will make a video about it because it will be bioactive. Then she probably hisses too! 😂 C you on fb! 😊
I had a king Baboon about 25 years ago. It actually startled me the first time it made this sound. It was almost like acid burning through something. Definitely spooked me as there was no info about this activity back then
My L. parahybana made a similar noise once when i was watching tv, and twice when i had to do maintenance during the nearly 3 years i had her, my second one never made this noise. it made the sound while walking and it sounded like sanding paper
When I first got my P. Muticus, hearing that for the first time was do amazing. And definitely the reason why I love the species so much! Now I have a eggsac coming hopefully I can get more people to love this amazing species!!
I have a juvie King Baboon, C. Marshalli, C. Darlingi, and OBT who have all stridulated at some point or another. My C. Marshalli juvie is definitely my most defensive tarantula. She goes bonkers if you touch the enclosure. Stridulating reminds me of a rattlesnake rattling honestly. Great video!!
Very interesting! I was unaware of the different types and locations of the stridulating structures of tarantulas. I should have expected that it's not just "velcro- ripping" between the chelicerae...
I've had my Grammostola porteri female stridulate at me before (she's a grumpy girl!), it surprised me because I didn't realize that this species had that ability.
Pterinochilus lugardi and murinus, Hysterocrates gigas, Heteroscodra maculata, Ceratogyrus marshalli and darlingi does it if disturbed, Harpactira pulchripes too. Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens ,Brachypelma bohemei and hamorii, Tliltocatl sabulosus, vagans and albicans can do it too. it would be easyer say what ones can't....😅😂🤣
Hey mate! I am from Germany and I do own a S. crassipes who definitely enjoys a bit of whistling, so if you do need some footage or want to check it out, just hit me up
My _Ceratogyrus marshalli_ got the name "Miss Hissypants," because she hissed at me as I prodded her out of the deli cup she came in. She hissed one other time when I was removing uneaten prey from her enclosure. I have several other species that are capable of stridulating, including a _Selenocosmia crassipes_ ("whistling spider"), but I haven't heard it yet.
So you managed to produce a 7+ minute video about stridulation with only a few seconds of actual stridulation. And you yap yap yap over that. Good job.
The rattlesnake tarantulas from australia that can stridulate like rattlesnakes are pretty cool! Sadly.. We don't have em in the USA or even in the European hobby as of yet. My Ceratogyrus marshalli can also stridulate like a rattlesnake on every rehouse but only for short bursts, unlike this Australian species. You should head on a trip down under to preview this species. Am suspecting this rattlesnake tarantula's either a dwarf or a medium size species, but the hissing they produce is phenomenal!!! Am not much of a fan of stressing out my tarantulas just to hear them hiss for me, but only for rehouse so I can do a demo if you get what I mean lol
Súper interesting that the strigulation is strictly used as a defense mechanism. Like a warning. I wouldn’t think they’d use it in terms of mating since tarantulas don’t have “ears” and cannot hear anyway, right?
the study I cite in the video has not found any relevance to the mating ritual. But maybe there are other species where they use it, such as the Palpimanus I showed
mainly all african, australian and the bigger american Theraphosa spp. can do it, never saw a dwarf spider or brachypelma/Tlitlocatl or birdspider do it tough except psalmopoeus like you said are doing it, but its more silently looks like only the movement :). I love my african beauties I´m caring for.
Barking spider's really do exist how funny makes me want to poke my king baboon lol. I've been raising mine for 3 years it a male. Wish they didn't grow so slow. Good video thank you.
Very interesting video! One of the reasons why I love my KBTs so much though I don’t hear now since they are pretty much undisturbed but maintenance time is very hissy!
I had a dream that I went to the back garage and heard a bunch of whistling sounds and I told my daughter to put on her Google and it identified it as spiders they're whistling and there were infested in the back garage
it has to do with the Log footage I try to colorgrade, still a huge learning curve for me. It's not all videos, as I only shoot some of them in a Log profile
I'm a new keeper with 4 slings and 2 juveniles.....and I've only been an enthusiast for around 6 weeks....I have a C Versicolor; 2 L parahybana; a B Hamorii; a Nhandu Chromatus and a Grammostola Pulchripes. I am thoroughly enjoying each and every one as their behaviours are so different. The most useful thing I've bought is a Tarantula Keeper's diary to keep track of eating/burrowing/molting etc. I wonder if any of mine will make noises? I've seen a few videos of L Parahybana's making a rustling sound when they move
Just a little while ago I isolated where an almost chirping sound was coming from, Megaphobema robustum. It stopped as soon as I touched the cage. Fred (the spider) is still quite young but very pretty. Then I found your video how lucky am I ? !! Thank you for posting it.
Great video, so informative, got 2 P muticus but both slings/juveniles at present so tend to run and hide most of the time. My stirmi use to stridulate quite alot but only started once he molted as a mature male, he was very grumpy and anti social, it's a great sound though.
Great informative video!! My Pelinobius muticus is still a juvenile so i still have to wait a while before it grows into the big, thicc angry hissing T that it’s known to be lmao but my Theraphosa stirmi does this occasionally when she’s in a grumpy mood 😂
I have many that can (various Psalmopoeus/Poecilotheria/Harpactira/Ceratogyrus/Chilobrachys species, Monocentropus balfouri, Selenocosmia crassipes etc.) however I only heard my Harpactira dictator. I do hope to hear something from my S.crassipes during rehouse however I leave my Ts do their own thing and so my interaction is minimal (feeding, watering, rare cleaning and rehousing when needed).
No stridulation from my M. Balfouri communal. They are very shy and timid. Few times off the tongs very gentle on the take down. Did observe after a rehouse when they were slings one molting and at the end another jump on the one molting to help remove the old exoskeleton. At first I thought they were going in to kill. Pretty cool to see. Also interaction when slings trying to get some food from another. Hope all is well Martin 🙂
Cool! Many genus can stridulate. I have noticed that for ex Theraphosa tends to stridulate all the time just by walking or catching prey. That is pretty cool. A tarantula stridulate just by walking. Now i dont currently keep any Theraphosinae but i have kept them. All the specimens i have had stridulates all the times, especially adult females. I dont know why they are stridulating just by walking. Most tarantulas stridulates when they are defenssive. I have some genus like Pterinochilus sp. Yeah the whole Harpactirinae can stridulate i think. Did you know that Gramoistola rosea can stridulate! I have not experienced it, but they supposedly have stridulation satea?
Great video as always. I have got a T. blondi but I haven't heard her doing any stritulating. It seems all my tarantulas are well behaved. My Psalmopoeus and also my Poecilotheria and Harpactira pulchripes have never stritulated, but I don't have the desire to anger them that much to be fair. :D But awesome to finaly hear a good recording of what it sounds like. Again you enriched my day and I thank you for that. *cheers!

Yes I have a very Hissy Theraphosa stirmi, usually she hisses when I try to water her. Well she's kind of crazy. :P
ha! they are very loud indeed! Thanks for the story :)
@@birdspiders sure! I am going to uprade her soon I will make a video about it because it will be bioactive. Then she probably hisses too! 😂 C you on fb! 😊
So stirmi do hiss I thought I was tweaking when I heard it once
I had a king Baboon about 25 years ago. It actually startled me the first time it made this sound. It was almost like acid burning through something. Definitely spooked me as there was no info about this activity back then
My L. parahybana made a similar noise once when i was watching tv, and twice when i had to do maintenance
during the nearly 3 years i had her, my second one never made this noise.
it made the sound while walking and it sounded like sanding paper
My T. albopilosus so far has hissed once. This was when she got defensive from me taking the lid off her enclosure to give her water.
When I first got my P. Muticus, hearing that for the first time was do amazing. And definitely the reason why I love the species so much! Now I have a eggsac coming hopefully I can get more people to love this amazing species!!
My T. stirmi, M. balfouri, P. chordatus have all stridulated at me recently.
Such a sweet vid! I only have two tarantulas and they don’t make a noise but they are beautiful creatures
thanks carson!
I have a juvie King Baboon, C. Marshalli, C. Darlingi, and OBT who have all stridulated at some point or another. My C. Marshalli juvie is definitely my most defensive tarantula. She goes bonkers if you touch the enclosure. Stridulating reminds me of a rattlesnake rattling honestly.
Great video!!
sounds like someone has quite the attitude 😅 great individuals you care for!
My C. marshallii doesn’t audibly stridulate, but they are a 1cm sling so I would be frightened if they could
@@birdspiders thanks. I have over 60 Ts and still adding to the collection 😊
@@Honorhhhb hopefully yours will grow up and be much calmer than mine. Lol
Very interesting! I was unaware of the different types and locations of the stridulating structures of tarantulas.
I should have expected that it's not just "velcro- ripping" between the chelicerae...
we all learn something new every day :) thanks for your nice comment!
I learned a new word today - Stridulate. Thank you Martin. Can't wait for the new video!
First time for me too. Fascinating!!
♡♡♡♡♡♡
My Chilobrachys assamensis stridulates really greatly
You should record a video of it stridulating. We'd love to hear it :)
I've had my Grammostola porteri female stridulate at me before (she's a grumpy girl!), it surprised me because I didn't realize that this species had that ability.
hehe they indeed have the ability! great story to share
This is so awesome, I've specifically wanted a sp. Eunice because I wanted to hear and see this.
Pterinochilus lugardi and murinus, Hysterocrates gigas, Heteroscodra maculata, Ceratogyrus marshalli and darlingi does it if disturbed, Harpactira pulchripes too. Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens ,Brachypelma bohemei and hamorii, Tliltocatl sabulosus, vagans and albicans can do it too. it would be easyer say what ones can't....😅😂🤣
Anna, my Theraphosa blondi might be my loudest tarantula, but I also heard my balfouri female produce hissing sounds and my irminia, as well.
Shame on you UA-cam! How did I only just discover this awesome channel now?
Came here to see if tarantulas really make sounds and got a lot of info!
You look like Nick from New Girl and that’s a good thing!
I would love to have Nick's humour 🤣 love that show amd character, thanks!
@@birdspiders Aw glad you got the reference! And yes he’s the best character in my opinion!
Used to have one of these beasts. My old girlfriend took me to reptile show and I bought one. That was the craziest thing I ever had
The Goliath birdeater reaches length of almost 11 inches and the king baboon will reach length of almost eight.❤
Not heard it yet, but I have a bunch of Psalmopoeus, so I'll be listening from now on!
Hey mate! I am from Germany and I do own a S. crassipes who definitely enjoys a bit of whistling, so if you do need some footage or want to check it out, just hit me up
Hey I like your videos but you talk too much while you're explaining what we need to hear in the video stop talking and let us hear!
I got hissed at by my Ceratogyrus meridionalis and I was so surprised bcus I didnt know that species could do it
Jeepers these things scare me so much but I respect them. We all have different standards of beauty yo
Sehr spannend, hab schon davon gehört aber die Geräusche noch nicht! Bei mir zirpen höchstens die Heimchen, bis jetzt jedenfalls😉
My _Ceratogyrus marshalli_ got the name "Miss Hissypants," because she hissed at me as I prodded her out of the deli cup she came in. She hissed one other time when I was removing uneaten prey from her enclosure.

thanks for story! would be great to hear the australian species in person one day
My 6.5inches OBT can hiss. Idk how and why lol
My darlingi can hiss too by using her chelicerae when she feel threatened
My M. balfouri stridulate quite loudly.
So you managed to produce a 7+ minute video about stridulation with only a few seconds of actual stridulation. And you yap yap yap over that. Good job.
I didn't know tarantulas can hiss it's a little scary

mini aphonopelma seemanni chan das au :) sehr interessants video!
Tarantula is my favorite pets sir
They use it for intimidating larger animals. Definitely works on me
I listened to the podcasts and it’s great to finally be able to place a face with the name and voice!
Please Indonesia subtitle
mainly all african, australian and the bigger american Theraphosa spp. can do it, never saw a dwarf spider or brachypelma/Tlitlocatl or birdspider do it tough except psalmopoeus like you said are doing it, but its more silently looks like only the movement :).
I love my african beauties I´m caring for.
cheers!
I do keep tarantulas that stridulate, I have two King baboons myself and they are my favorite spiders.❤❤
great to hear!
Barking spider's really do exist how funny makes me want to poke my king baboon lol. I've been raising mine for 3 years it a male. Wish they didn't grow so slow. Good video thank you.
He's never made a sound but I would love to hear it some day
Got king baboon as a spiderling 6 months ago....mine has already threat postured..fascinating species
amazing!
Cobalt blue, and some of my earth tigers stridulate, also whrn I rehoused my Harpactira pulchripes, it stridulate also
cheers dor your story!
Very interesting video! One of the reasons why I love my KBTs so much though I don’t hear now since they are pretty much undisturbed but maintenance time is very hissy!
I had a dream that I went to the back garage and heard a bunch of whistling sounds and I told my daughter to put on her Google and it identified it as spiders they're whistling and there were infested in the back garage

I really like the content but was wondering why do all your videos look washed out / foggy?
it has to do with the Log footage I try to colorgrade, still a huge learning curve for me. It's not all videos, as I only shoot some of them in a Log profile
C. marshalli hissed at me when rehoused at 8-9cm ls, but when rehousing the same spider as adult female she went in very calmly.
they tend to calm down indeed, thanks for sharing your story!
hope you can made again a content finding tarantula in their natural habitat
greetings from philippines
I hope so too! in two weeks there will be a new video with new tarantulaa from their natural habitat🎉
Hi my Omothymus schioedtei hisses when disturbed.
thanks for your story!
Great video and great facts! Thanks!
thanks Johan!
Thank you for shedding light on this largely unknown trait.
Ps. I'm yet to hear eney of my Australian specimens whistle or make any noise at all.
thanks! yess some of the australian ones can stridulate extremely loud, but its species specific
I hope you hear a whistle!!!

Aside from the KBT, my M. balfouri stridulates a lot. I've also heard my P. auratus stridulate once, which was quite cool

My female LP does it. In any stressful situation or sometimes when jumping on prey.

true, normally you dont hear them stridulate only when provoked. Thanks for your comment!
WTF?!!!!
yup, that's what they do
Have had lots of speicies that stridulates like diffrent Harpactirinae, Therahosa and Pelinobius
No stridulation from my M. Balfouri communal. They are very shy and timid. Few times off the tongs very gentle on the take down. Did observe after a rehouse when they were slings one molting and at the end another jump on the one molting to help remove the old exoskeleton. At first I thought they were going in to kill.

that's a story! Thanks Meg, all is well - hope on your end too!
I would love a top 10 list of the most defensive/agressive tarantulas.
might be something for the future!
Baboons are my favorite old world tarantula species.
thanks!
Super ! Darf ich fragen woher du deine taxonomischen Publikationen findest ? Zootaxa? Researchgate ? Grüße !
WSC, google scholar, researchgate
Mine is OBT
good choice
I was doing a rehouse for my OBT, and when im going to get her she started to hiss, i teased her to hear more haha

that's because their stridulation setae is on the trochanter on leg 1 and therefore when moving quickly, it can produce a sound
now that's making me think of the French word 'froufrou' - rustling of a dress when walking
@@birdspiders Yes, why didnt i thought of that?
I have a T. stirmi that is stridulating from time to time.
it better not be all the time :)

S. crassipes is available in the UK now and again, might be worth gaining one through a vendor here.
Ps yet another great vid. Always in my suggestions to watch in the groups 👍
that's a good hint there! thanks
Interesting sound and a bit impressive as well. 👍
