Golden knee tarantula trying to catch a cricket

- My female Grammostola pulchripes is hungry, in this video she's trying to catch a couple of crickets. After the successful hunting she puts some web around (some nice close-ups there 03:20 04:10) and eats the catch in peace. This spider is one of the of the calmest, docile tarantulas I've encountered, highly recommended for beginners in the hobby. I love this spider. This time no music in the video, you can literally hear the force of the attacks. Enjoy.
Killing a giant cockroach:
• Grammostola pulchripes...
More of my tarantulas:
• Before and after a mol...
I always find it funny how crickets just sit there when I drop them in like "O.O ... >.> hmm, okay? ... I like it in here, just gonna go look over there." then takes like one step and my Curly violently kills it xD
I took one that my A. Geniculata wouldn't eat (I think she might be in premolt atm) and dropped it in with my curly hair who molted just over a week ago and she killed it the second it hit the ground lol
Reaper Dan Gotta love a Curly lol
They're awesome T's, she's always so chilled so it's funny to see her just snatch the life out of something, just received a Chaco and a GBB sling so looking forward to watching them grow up
Reaper Dan I also just got a GBB sling!
Reaper Dan curious sir after 9 months has many inches has it grown?
Love the sound your spider's making when trying to catch the cricket. Nice video, too! Great animals. I think I need to really get myself one sooner or later!
BostonRedSoxForever Thank you
This chaco just made my day lol super funny and its butt was super cute haha XD
nice =)
aww that was soo cute when she was trying to catch the crickets lol I loved it thanks for capturing her doing this, it was funny to see her leap for the crickets.
I just picked up one of these at my local reptile expo today but it's still really young. I was amazed to hear the sound of the attacks. Can't wait till mine puts on some size
I think this has to be my favorite specie of Tarantula.
+Stephen Turner Not a bad choice at all.
+Stephen Turner Chaco Golden Knee is my favorite too. Been looking for one for a while. I haven't found one at any of the reptile expos in Michigan so far.
It's amazing how they can almost pinpoint the exact location of a cricket just by the vibrations it puts off.
I find it best to remove anything that a cricket can hide under. My rose hair recently injured herself going after a cricket. A slight miss in judgment, she hit the side of her enclosure. I've noticed since she has a bit of a limp. Feeding tongs are a great help. The tongs can be used to hover the cricket just above your tarantula. When she takes notice simply release the cricket. If timing is right she wont have to go after it. Best bet for a wounded or older spider. Amazing video by the way, You've got one beautiful T.
Spiders are beautiful it's just
They are one of the most fluffiest animals in the world
But it's just they don't look like a cute lil pig or like a puppy
I think that's what makes us scared
But the more l watch about them
The less my fear gets
But if this spider would have jumped on the camera
I'd go like o___o
But basically they are very calm and nice around us (mostly tarantulas) tarantulas are the calmest species of spiders around us
And they all have beautiful different looks
I love it!!
+Marit I agree, tarantulas are very beautiful and fascinating animals. But for me, what makes them scary is the silk/web that they produce and how it feels. Maybe it's because of my ASD that some textures feels just not right to touch and the spider web is one of those things. The same goes for things like butter or oil. Touching it makes me scream. If it wasn't for the web i would love to have my own tarantula.
DemonicaUjat Yeah there are actually very beautiful yes
Some have amazing coats.
But when they walk on you they're a little ticklish
These animal are actually the really fluffy ones :P
Imagine a horse with a winter coat
It's just kind of the way how they look like.
The reason what makes spiders a bit scary is the thing called ''The spider kill''
The look a bit too.
But there's so many dangerous types of bugs, insects,spiders.
And yeah you don't wanna get bit by these
But a tarantula watch out for this:
if they would crawl on your face close your eyes because if they shove their hairs off their behind with their hind legs you can become blind
But on your arms it's nice they can be really sweet. [They are calm species]
And the bite feels like a bee bite not that nice either.. but not deadly
most tarantula's are not that venomous. some bites can be more painful but no species of tarantulas can kill you. also because i love spiders so much and i pretty know every type i just recently got a Chilean rose hair tarantula.
glad you liked my idea, it's a perfect burrow. My chaco isjust very excited, not aggressive at all. It's dead now, you can check my latest videos to see it dead :( Thanks for the comment!
Thanx for the feedback. I think you were right on the money. Mine looked exactly like yours did. Just the carapace fell off. Sorry to see you went through the same thing with one of the best tarantulas
It really was the best, but it happens I guess... =/ I know how you feel, cheer up and thank you for your input, it is appreciated!
Don't do it if you're not sure what you're doing. Spiderlings are fast and can be easily hurt. Don't disturb the spider for several days after molt. You can try and catch it when you think it's calm and manageable. The best way for the spider is to crawl on your hand on his own, you can also try and pick it up gently with a spoon. Good luck, be careful.
beautiful creature
I have a sling myself, and they are so CUTE!!!
Beautiful specimen you have here.
im sorry to hear about that and I will definitely check that video out
This Beautiful endearing creature could keep me occupied for hours I must of seen this You Tube video well over 10 times now I find it very Therapeutic.
hahaha it startled the shit out to f me every time it moved lol
lol the first lunge was the cutest. I was satisfied after seeing that. XD
My G. Rosea ate his crickets like a submarine sammich. Am waiting on B. Albopilosum (Curly Hair), E. Campestratus (Pink Zebra Beauty) and G. Pulchripes as seen in this video x 2. I am very, very excited to meet them.
That is one adorable G. Pulchripes. Harmony, harmony, Oh love! I'll have mine soon... : )
LOVE! 😍 I just got a Chaco about a week ago...a 1/3" Chaco, but it is a Chaco! Can't wait for her(?) to grow up, and she's already really calm. No running around, and she walked to her new enclosure with the touch of a paintbrush. No hurry, no upset. Sweet little spiders! 😊
Great species! Enjoy the little one. Big and calm tarantulas... I miss mine.
Sorry you've lost yours. Get another?? So many Chacos out there that need a home & some love...haha ;-)
Pam Czernel hhaha you are right! But somehow I can't make myself get another chaco... this one was the best... =))
Uh-oh. I'm doomed then to having a less-than-the-best chaco. :-( (lol)
+Chained2Alice, it's time to love again! Just a tiny little sling...1cm.....and she'll grow on you & you'll love her & you'll wonder why you ever were against the idea. ;-) (haha...I'm a T acquisition enabler)
Take care & thx for replying!
hahah let's hope to be a female at least =pp
nice idea with cutting out a hole in a bowl I have 2 Ts at the moment 1 is a rose hair and the other is a chaco gold knee but it is a sling im going to have to steal that idea from you haha. nice video and also is your chaco very aggressive or is it just excided about that cricket
Nooo! I loved your golden knee! :'(
What a beautiful spider. Simply fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
She is docile when she senses something bigger approaching, I can pick her up whenever I want, anyway tarantulas don't like to be picked up, it's just that we like it =).
I'm fascinated and creep by arachnids.
Breathtakingly beautiful. X
Thank you! It's an awesome tarantula, you'll enjoy it!
Beautiful chaco man
Your rock is to big, it only congested your enclosure that is why your Chaco can't catch it easy.
Robert Rey Bonayog agreed!
and ohhhh ... mine dances like that too when she´s eating =P so cute =D
Beautiful spider and persistent too! Thanks for the vid :)
nice video, as Docile as some species are such as this one, it is always amazing the to see them attack their prey with such speed and aggression.
Nice spider you got there (I wish I had that) =3
My pulchripes 6cm juvie Wendy is always hungry too , she always runs like crazy to catch her crickets =P *giggle* molted recently too ! not yet all those bright and nice adult colors like yours =) Congrats , nice vid *winks*
lol she must have been groggy from a nap XD
just wanted to get the cricket in the right place, didn't mean to piss her off at all and in fact I didn't piss her off, she thought the stick was the cricket
It's about 8 years old.
The first attempt to catch the cricket made me howl. I was sure she was going to get it first try but she missed and oh my god was it funny.
Thanks for your comment,I appreciate your concern.
Wow he said a mouthfull
Thank you, hope you enjoy the other videos too =)
50 euro for the mature female, came with the cage, which was heavily modified afterwards.
Fantastic upload,
Very entertaining, educational, and enjoyable!
this video scares me so much
ahaha, you can't cuddle them like kittens, they don't enjoy being handled, you can do it but it's not gonna make them happy or grateful. For me they are very good pets, because they don't smell, they demand very little attention (you can feed they once a week, or even a month) and just look beautiful whenever I decide to take a look at them...
Thank you, will check out your channel.
thank you! that was the idea, it's interesting to see/hear it hunting =)
Всички паяци правят паяжини, земните паяци слагат паяжината си по земята, правят килим от паяжина, за да могат да усетят когато нещо се движи отгоре и по този начин да са максимално точни в атаката си. Също увиват жертвата си в паяжина за по-лено изяждане.
That spider is big
dang dats a big spider
Thank you!
Thanks, it's my favorite tarantula.
Haha what a cute pulchripes catching cricket haha
wow she is beautiful. I have a female as well but her stripes are not so dramatic yet, I have had her a year now.
Cricket: Dem jukes! Golden knee: GET IN MY BELLY!!
Loved it!!! Subbed x
Oh wow she's pretty (: I should be getting my first ever T in about 4 weeks. I want to make sure I have everything for her! Will be getting myself a gorgeous red knee (:
dang its like spinnin webs everywhere at the end! WHY!?
marking prey rich territory =)
@kembasa1
I think the spider does not think so. It looks quite satisfied.
holy crap that things fast!
Does your Chaco ever barricaded itself in a hide?
Yes, for 2 months during the winter, I thought there's something wrong, and removed the 'barricade' the spider was alive and well... If the temperature drops under 23 C, it's completely normal.
holy fucking shit that spider is a fucking pithon
I may be getting a sling tmrw. When yours is all amped up from feeding like that, you think she still docile enough to pick up or do you wait till she settles down after dinner
oh, thanks, I loved it too =(( the best tarantula ever!
Where does the Golden knee come from? Beautiful spider.
A great spider, you'll enjoy it for sure =)
She molted last monday I ged her and she ate but shes shown her fangs when I tryed to hold her the other day so ive been leaving her alone for the past two days
what the heck was it doing at the end? little happy dance or something lol?
Lilly Bartel yes some tarantulas will do a happy dance after eating.
that explains the cricket noise...
lol
You're definitely enjoying your tarantula, continue to do so, the pulchripes is a magnificent species *winks* Thanks for the comments.
I love this video thanks for posting :)
CREEEEEEPPPYY
My chaco is just a spiderling and just molted and shes not calm and I want to hold her any tips
Great video and beautiful T! May I ask how old your female is? I recently bought a sling. I can't wait till she's big! :D
She is about 10 years in the video, she died one year ago...
Mass Exodus Yes, it was a rare occurrence and a sad one - premature molt... you can check my video for more info: Grammostola pulchripes premature molt death
If I ever got a pet tarantula can I go outside and catch it food like a lizard?
No. Wild caught insects have probably consumed pesticides from plants/crops etc and could kill your T.
I love the chaco, I have 2 juvis that are beautiful :)
Awesome video, I'll check out your others - subbed :)
Thank you! =))
So funny!
I am sad today. i have 12 tarantula's 50 molt's i raised a chaco golden knee from a sling to4 inch's. it went into molt made it a little way thru than died. if any one has any idea why i would appreciate your opinion. thanx Barry
Sad to hear that, Barry. You can check my video on premature-molt death:
ua-cam.com/video/BaUmOdEBbQA/v-deo.html
thts to cute i wish my G.rosea was tht eastic to food
why she puts web, i know this kinds dont to web ?
okay, so maybe tarantulas aren't that bad... Do they make good pets? Like.. Can you cuddle them (let them crawl around on you) and stuff?
How old is that
Using that skewer isn't the smartest idea... She could impale herself and possibly kill herself
About How old is this T?
И паякът е в България.
❤
благодаря за този безсмислен коментар!
je n'aime pas trop ces nouveaux animaux de compagnie !
SPON
Enjoy it =)
wow
It's female.
No. 1 😂
you'll enjoy them, I'm sure =))
Too much unneccessary stuff on this enclosure. For one, get rid of the plastic pot hide. In this body size, pulchripes do not use hide anyway.
yeah like that'll help a what how many year old video
Tha Cricket be like nope nope nope
male or female ? my chaco just 3cm ^^! - hope its grow up beautiful like your chaco
