I’m a severe arachnophobic. But I don’t know why but watching educational videos about spiders fascinates me. I’d NEVER own a spider (in my house there are no spiders I’m aware of ‘cause when they show themselves they are removed from the home or this life). If no one is around to help I just cry and hide.

What a beautiful beast 😊

After I had studied biology and got some field experience I researched the pesticides insecticides and herbicides and since then I make sure to feed every single livestock we use for our animals organic foods. We do have general (and contaminated) foods ourselves 'occasionally' if we cannot avoid it through social occasions..But as our bodies are a lot bigger and more resistant towards the side effects of herbicides insecurities and pesticides we are aware that the smaller a animal.is the more likely it will become contaminated and suffer from the side effects.(like a parrot for example can consume a lot more pesticides than an small song bird- for example). And based on research since GMOs became public some countries (including the Netherlands and Russia) have become fully aware of the devastating side effects of GMOs and GMO pesticides (considered to be more dangerous than DDT was/is...Paid shills : please stay out of this as you should know better than just taking the money after being recruited via well known sites to 'trolls for money..Think of your family and children..). Anyway, studies have shown that by feeding animals organic foods the negative health impacts of livestock were reversed.The point is: the smaller an animal.the easier it can die but also , the easier these pesticides can be eliminated 'if' they survive.Mealworms for example take 3 days of organic foods before their guts are clean..)

Looks like plastic 😅

Im getting a new house and i was wonder what kind of shelves did u use for your tarantula room to put the enclosures on too?

If I had a room dedicated to my Ts I'd definitely do it the same as you guys! I personally only have around 30 and on a nice wooden custom built shelving rack. I heat mine with lights on a heating dimmer so the heating comes from above like in nature. They all seem to come out and bask and then go hide when they need to be cooler. It all depends on the set up I suppose.

I keep my tarantulas in my reptile room which is kept at 80 to 82 degrees and all 103 are doing beautifully i just got another trinidad chevron sling yesterday spicy little thing it is 😊. I love your video's they have helped me so much over the years .

ohhh... Sabah Red... T of my wishlist next to Valhalla. Now I have 5 slings of valhalla and they are excellent...

THAT was insemination? He barely touched her. It was like a swipe. It can happen that fast with no insertion?

Great video Team Beastie. I use a HabiStat pulse proportional thermostat to drive one of their 6 x 11 heat mats as you showed today. It's for my redrunner colony and yes, it is brilliant and yes, you must, must, must get a pulse unit. Mine is 600W, well made and designed for running big ceramic heaters but works equally well for my 6w mat. I'm about to split my roaches into a second colony and will get another heat mat to run of the same thermostat. it will just require a small electrical extension lead plugged into the thermostat which the mats will then plug into. Highly recommended.

5:26... Tip for u guys (not spiders)^^ in regaurds of saving on heating, instead of turning it completely off, set ur thermostat at a low temp (I do mine at about 18°C) when I'm gone. This way, ur tilt doesn't use so much energy to bring the temps up, and u don't spend much to keep the temps so low, it saves in the long run. \O>

What's the ideal substrate for these?

in india we use a hot water bottle

What kind of enclosure us that?

Great video!!

Is the wheat bran in the bottom of the enclosure simply a substrate to absorb moisture or is it that plus a food source for the roaches?

Really useful video. All the time with cold temperatures I ask myself what's the best way to heat. I learn a lot with your videos. Love them. Sorry for my english,. BR Silke from Germany Berlin

So you only need to clean the enclosure every six months?

Dave and the lovely camera woman, can I ask, do you keep your room at 80, day and night. I have a walk in cupboard that I turned into my spider room, it's only 4ft wide by 8ft long, I also have an oil filled radiator that I keep at 80 dg day and night, but I'm wondering if it should be a wee bit cooler at night...cheers and love from Inverness 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ve tried finding other channels like this but others just seem like top 5 dopamine info dumps. Or really sterilized content on spiders and other type pets. This video is very entertaining, extremely Informative and actually helped me became much more accepting of spiders to the point that I am no longer afraid of encountering them. I actually enjoy spiders particularly. and have even became seriously interested in having one of my own. I always end up coming back to Dave’s little beasties.

You Sir are true spider whisperer. When I see people mindlessly poking their Ts I'm like what the f&*#! Just go and see how Dave does it!

Always learn something watching!

Thanks for the vid, I’m definitely rethinking how I’m setting mine up now. Any chance you could do something on when things go wrong and how to handle it? I’ve always wondered what I’d do if any of mine darted up my arm during a rehouse for example. Be great to get some info on handling situations like that. I’ve been keeping for about a year now, nothing has happened but it would be good to know what to do in the event it did.

Thank you for a very informative video, I live in Brecon in Wales which means it is very very cold here the temperatures can drop quickly so a heat mat is essential! I could do with a heat mat under my bum to keep me warm I feel the cold very easily although I am in the stages of a different time in my life so I am bloody hot all the time! I am looking forward to the opening of the new spider house, I am sure Camera lady will be trying to find you and you have hidden yourself away in your room, are you going to film it in stages or are you just going to show us once it is complete? How long will it take to build it? Thank you for a great video . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

I met a reptile keeper who made a shelf system for his boxed snakes using a cupboard with thick shelves. He had routed out a channel at the back of each shelf and laid the heat line used in fridge door seals in it. He said it sat at about 28c. Admittedly as a fridge mechanic he had easy access to the seals but anyone can buy it on a roll. He was happy with the result and it looked so neat because there was no cords or mats to be seen and it only heated the back of each box so they could move away if they wanted. When I had spiders, centipedes and scorpions I had them a bit on heat mats in the winter but always used two thermostats hooked up together so if one failed, the other would still cut off power (overheating was more the issue for me as I live in the subtropics.

I’ve never seen a male eat the female before. That’s amazing that males can attacks females. I always thought it was females attacking males.

Good video as someone who has both spiders and reptiles a heat gun is the best thing to use along with the thermostat

Great infonfrom an avid "hobbiest".

A whole room is my next step.With the warm.water fish tanks included 😂

Have you ever been bit by one of these?

I got two basic principles from this video. 1) Let your resident choose how much heat it wants, and 2) Forget what the heater's called, just ask if it can do the job you need done. Both are excellent, no matter what animals you keep. Thanks for sharing you experience.

Great video guys

Hi Dave, what size are those braplast tubs you have the scorpions in? They look a bit bigger than the ones I have but I'm not sure if it's just because mine are black. Also will you be doing a rehoming video of the wandering spiders? I need to rehouse the one I got from you at Bournemouth

❤🕷🕸

Thank you for all visual examples.

1 thing I took for have reptiles for 25 yrs is use a thermostat for any flexwatt heat tape or any type of matts

Hi David and carma lady, can I ask if I have my room at 24 .5 an get a heat mat what should I set it too , just to make up the lost heat in winter

Love your videos dave even after 15yrs in the hobbie I still find myself learning new things. My question is when it comes to tarantulas with some serious age is it worth breaking down the enclosure for a new one. My P.rufilata is about 13yrs old and I want to do a rehouse but I also feel it's been working all these years. Should I change it or leave it the way it is?

Ich finde es ist zu wenig Erde im Terrarium ? Geniculatas graben doch auch gern? Ich konnte beobachten dass die Geniculatas auch gerne mal etwas klettern.

If you have over 80 tarantula cages, how do you link 10-12 heat mats together as well as to a thermostat?

Superb video both of you 👏 I remember being new to hobby many years ago and so many different videos and options and opinions from others and this became very confusing 👍I now heat the room like you guys do as my collection is large

With the laser measurement be careful with the emissivity of the surface material, it must match the value programmed in the laser thermometer if not the reading might not be ok. Love your videos, greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

Love your videos I learned so much from you i find myself just going back and watching them over and over again it like reading a book 👍👍

Brilliant Dave, that was informative and very enjoyable, and very useful Dave it's an important subject to cover aswell, anyway Dave that's another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

another good educational video PROFF to help the hobby. some great work from the beastie room point of view with your vast knowlage in keeping animals. good capture of footage CAMERA LADY. take care guys and many thanks

I’ve cooked a few T’s experimenting w heating and temps daylight humidity seasonal changes. Science has not done enough research in these areas and species locations around the world. Hopefully some day years long research will be published on specific species involving thermoregulation seasonal changes locations etc. I appreciate everything you do in this awesome hobby to better teach and understand Tarantulas . Thank you for always sharing. You are the best! 😊

Very useful and thank You both for the vid! 🤩🙏✌️ Already thinking againg to have a tenant for my little terarium 🤔🤦😂

I have a deep bookcase with a thermal roller blind on it. Each shelf has a heat mat at the back and it heats each shelf

Thank you Dave for all the useful information! Your timing is immaculate!
