  • Searching for tarantulas in the wild is always a lot of fun! This time you'll see us looking for wild tarantulas in the tropics of Colombia, South America. The group of Pumpkin Patch Tarantulas from the genus Hapalopus is quite outstanding with several species mainly living in Colombia and Venezuela - despite the fact that most of these Hapalopus tarantula species are readily bred by tarantula enthusiast all over the world.
    During this single day of exploring the surroundings for tarantulas in the wild we managed to find three different tarantula species - watch the video to learn more about them!

    You guys deserve far more subscribers. May I suggest that you push your marketing activities to get your name out there? If Exotics Lair can get millions of subscribers then so can you!

    You said oddly colored … I was not expecting you to say blue😂. I would love to see that video for sure!
    Considering the dwarf you showed has no urticating hairs, is there stronger venom that comes along with the inclination to strike too?

    • @birdspiders
      @birdspiders  2 роки тому +2

      well it's oddly colored for a Hapalopus with that tint of blue for sure :-P Thanks! Regarding the venom, this is not investigated yet but we have project ideas in that realm

      @@birdspiders somehow I was expecting reds or coppers. Something more in line to what I think of when I think of Hapalopus. Blue in any shade on a tarantula is exciting. I look forward to seeing it.
      The footage on this one was stunning! Thanks for sharing it with us.

    What percentage of your tarantula finds are roadside?

    • @birdspiders
      @birdspiders  2 роки тому +1

      it depends on the mission of the trip - roadside searches are easy and fast, you can stop 20 times a day at different places easily. When you go somewhere specific, you cant switch location that fast so you are stuck there. Makes sense?

    Last one has potential to be kept communally 😅

    • @birdspiders
      @birdspiders  2 роки тому +3

      yeah as much communally as H. incei :) They are not true communal tarantulas like M. balfouri or Poecilotheria - they just live in each on their own burrow in a close distance.

      @@johannoren2787 actually I have some very small ones since last week and fun fact, the colorful Hapalopus I talk about in this video appears to be the same/similar species as "sp. guerilla". so I might talk about them in the future since we also saw them in the wild, atleast one specimen =)
