Enjoy this new video from our tarantula field trip back in 2019 - the pre-Covid era of tarantula research! I hope you are all safe and healthy, leave a comment or like if you enjoyed the video :)
that is a really cute tarantula! anyways, this channel is really underrated compared to other tarantula related channels, i really hope this channel grows a lot mo audience and support! much love and i cant wait for the next video!
thanks mate for your kind words! help share our videos and links as often as possible on social media and watch our videos completely until they end so they get recommend more easily💪🤙
Haha, yeah, very cute! Did yiu have several specimens to compare? Was they all this slow. Really looked like a tarantula thats being cold, but very intresting that this is their normal speed. I guess this speicies are mire bound to theur burrow than other speicies perhaps! Great find, good looking speicies!
@@aracnoloco most likely larvae under the stones - there might be a time of the year where food is more abundant. But unlike other high altiude species like Hapalotremus, they really are slow all of the time. Other spiders might be slower when there is slow... but these guys are always that slow, even the specimens who made it to the pet trade back a few years ago
@@birdspiders So no one really knows what they eat in the wild. This shows us once more how little we know about most species of tarantulas: a little bit taxonomy and that's it . Cheers
would be interesting to learn if there are similar slow insects present in this area. The few specimens who were in captivity a few years back (a single specimens still are) never reach top speeds... always amazed what nature comes up with!
w v slow metabolism they can just wait until something comes within easy reach or maybe they get mostve their food seasonally and fatten up on insect larvae that hatch under their rocks, many strategies they could use where they dont have to scamper after fast prey

Haha how effective can that “kicking” really be?
that's a good question indeed :)
What a cute little tarantula! 👍👍👍
they are adorable indeed!
Your videos are always quality. Thank you for posting. She looks like she's fed well. Cute.
much appreciated thank you! :)
What was that last tarantula please?
I am really scare of tarantulas, but tbh, this one is nice and cute....any way, I would stay away from it.
Thank you for this valuable contribution!
we try our nest, thanks!
My heart cannot handle this high level cuteness ❤️ that little round floofy abdomen 😂 love your videos 🔥 looking forward to future videos 😀
cheers! thanks :-)

they are always that slow - that's the genus Agnostopelma by definition :)
@@birdspiders aha ok!
Your handsomeness is distracting me from your video. lol...my real question is, what species of scorpion was that?
*blush*... cheers Christine :-)
sadly I can't tell you what scorpion species that was - looks Buthidae to me.. maybe Tityus?
Pls try to find some centipede
we always try, but they are so fast!
Wonderful. Did you get bored with editing at the end?
bored is the wrong word - maybe more focused on content and less fancy stuff? :D It still takes me way too much time to edit so less is more...
@@birdspiders :D. I remember seeing this species at Dirk's place in 2006 and watching it in slow motion.
@@bugsnstuff without his advice & help we would not have found them that quickly - great people all across the hobby :)
would like to travel with you and find this amazing tarantulas by my self
cheers Micha! maybe one day?
@@birdspiders Yeah say never no. You never know what can happen
I wanna go too!!!!
Beautiful shots. I love your videos!
thanks!
Soooo interesting! Ah i love it❤️🕷
Brilliant,,and very interesting T,,in that cool weather,,👍🏴🇬🇧
cheers Philip!
5:05min So adorable
hehe
She looks so healthy and well fed!! - just beautiful - thankyou for sharing 👏👏👏
Looks more like eggs inside the opithosoma I think, it is often more rotund than
only very well fed T´s opisthosomas.
no, the specimen had an eggsack, they are always that round
@@birdspiders ah ok, but suits good to her
Fab vid anyhoo, either way 👍
Always right next to a street 😂 you would almost think its a nessesity for tarantulas 😂
the best of street tarantulas🙈
very slow spider 💕
what species were the little blue spiderlets?
it was a species from the subfamily Schismatothelinae
Alot of true spiders look so cool and have such odd camofladge as well as Tarantulas
thanks Eric!
You have the best job on Earth. Excellent channel dude ❤👉🏴
it's not my job :) Thank you mate!
@@birdspiders You're an excellent educator ❤👉🏴
cool. thanks for the video
cheers!
I'd be curious to see if they moved quicker, and had a faster metabolism at a higher temperature.
no they never have, that's the genus Agnostopelma. The ones we had in captivity behaved the same
@@birdspiders Then, how do they chatch any prey? Do they collect snails instead of crickets or other faster insects? ;-)

Well, they would HAVE to be fast at some point- got to catch some prey. So I would guess they can, but they just won't most of the time.
