Amazonius sp caqueta rehouse and care 

Amazonius was recently split from Tapinauchenius (hence why the orange tree spider is no longer T. gigas but A. germani), and to my mind, this looks like a locale of T. plumipes that someone collected from the Caqueta region of Colombia and misidentified as the wrong genus. Look at some photos of adult T. plumipes and see what you think. Either way, you are correct about its arboreal tendencies. Beautiful spider.

Indeed very beautiful, velvety look. Also looks to be a fairly active one. Will be nice to follow her, please do follow-ups if you have the time!

Hey Dave! I’m in the same boat as you in the sense that I’ve never even heard of this species before. Granted, Canada isn’t nearly where the UK is when it comes to tarantulas/inverts. It’s really quite a lame country in that respect. Great video though, Dave! Hopefully we’ll hit the nail on the head! I’m happy to hear about the Q&A video again! I’m very much looking forward to it and hope you do it soon!! I already put 4 questions for the Q&A on the last video but…ah what the heck! I’ll throw in two more. -Does Dave have an individual favourite in the Beastie Room? Camera Lady can answer as well! -What did Dave expect when he started the channel? Did he expect what it is today and how quickly it has reached this point? See you on Monday guys! Have a good weekend. -Noah.

Beautiful, beautiful girl. Please do updates and keep us informed about how she's doing and what she's all about! 💗💗

I think she is arboreal because I’ve got a amazomius Gemami which is the orange tree spider

Where did the guy you bought it from get it . Worth tracing it back to find a male What a film star posing at every angle. 😊

Very exciting. Please do keep us updated.

It is definitely arboreal, since they were only seperated from Tapinauchenius in 2022 (ref: Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of the tarantula genera Tapinauchenius Ausserer, 1871, Psalmopoeus Pocock, 1985, and Amazonius n. gen. (Theraphosidae, Psalmopoeinae), Zootaxa 5101). There does not appear to be any A. caqueta, however, so potentially this could be A. germani instead. Edit: note also the width of the scopulae = arboreal

Well Dave you've got yourself an absolute stunner there she is gorgeous n Camera Lady what amazin shots you got of her .

It was really cool to see her pull herself up and over from her old house to her new house with those long front legs. I bet she is great at pull ups🤪

Im no expert, been having a look around and trying to find out more about her. Very similar to the Amazonius Burgessi "the ghost tree spider"

When the light hit her, she suddenly lit up, like a shiny piece of metal! Gorgeous! Curious to see how she gets on.

Whatever species she is, has a good temperament at t mo!☺️

She sure is a beautiful, healthy tarantula! Wow simply amazing! Can't wait to learn more about her❤❤❤❤😊

Beautiful ! From where I’m looking at it looks platinum to me best way I can explain her sheen. And those red orange hairs.

Very pretty spider let me know if and when you I'd her thanks Dave

I am now wondering why this pretty spider is amazonius and not tapinauchenius 🤭 Only thing I can find is amazonius giovaninii which looks a bit like it.

Question: Whats the difference between New world and Old World Spiders.

Oh wow!!! Beautiful spider!!! She looks like satin!!!

If you were ever going to give a spider a personal name it should be this one and it should be Silkie. WOW 😍

She's beautiful. Smooth velvet, with interesting furry legs, I like the black banding where the chelicera meet the cephalothorax.

She is stunning!! Definitely an arboreal bc the Amazonius genus is arboreal tree spiders like the A. Germani-Orange Tree Spider(former P. Gigas).

Wow 😍 she is amazing that colour and velvety shine. ❤ She is such a diva posing for the camera then thank you that’s enough as she struts off to hide 😂❤

She reminds me (her legs)of P.irminia❤

Wow, look. An Amazonian Shorthair!😂😂🎉🎉 Congrats on this stunning girl. How old do these get?

It’s an Amazonius, keep it the same way as a germani, psalmos and tapis Beautiful girl 😍

She really knows how to work the camera! In a prior life, I'll bet she was a runway model 😉

Hello great video information and rehousing Dave

OMG the day came, I never thought would ever happen, when Dave didn’t know something about a spider! She is a beautiful one.

Some folks online say that the Amazonius sp. caqueta used to be known in the hobby as Tapinauchenius sp. Caribean Diamond or sp. Union Island. Perhaps this helps? Oh, and they also say that these tarantulas are stupidly fast, haha.

Wowzers! Stunning platinum with peach colored toes. I know not to touch but her abdomen calls out to pet it.

How the beauty posed especially for the camera, such a gorgeous girl. But it might be that she will demand a higher fee for photos soon. ☺️ I also found hardly any information about this species but according to a few pieces of information from the internet it should be an arboreal species. Best wishes from Germany to you Dave and camera lady.

Now THAT is a gorgeous spider 😍 Thank You for sharing! ❤

Hi Dave I have just noticed that the spider shop has two Amazonius species on their website now. Both are arboreal.

Gorgeous Big spider she is a model Too i See 😉

Thank you, dear Dave and Sweet Camera Lady. Have a wonderful day! 👋♥️🕷👍

I don't do boast book really but I'd like to know more about their eyes. Just anything on them. This truly is one spider I would like to stroke but I know it wouldn't be a good idea 😊

She has a shiny new condo.

lyrognathus giannisposatoi . ? I Think i had one off those looks simelar . And they LOVE TO BORROW A LOT .Or in that cat i think. Keep the good work up . Love it like u do 😊

She's a beautiful spider,no aggression, Great video Dave and camera lady 📷, karate Tim 🥋🙏♥️.

Wow wow this is crazy I just noticed that you was tugging to her kind of hard to get out and she wasn't trying to she wasnt an attack and she was moving bending she is very calm out of every other Spider by scene

Hi Dave and camera lady, could you make a video on how you got into the hobby, when it was, what you started with and why? I am feared of spiders, but I watch all of your videos because I find them fascinating.

I also don't see much on these guys. The only thing i see with that exact scientific name is one with the given common name of Caqueta tree spider so i would guess it's arboreal? Other than that, on Arachnoboards i found mention of Amazonius genus in general being recently reclassified from Tapinauchenius and that their care requirements are similar to that of most Psalmopeus species. Nothing i can confirm on any personal experience, unfortunately, but maybe will give some directions to look in for better info on your beautiful new girl

Dave I’d love a more in depth talk about conditioning and breeding Poecilotheria!!!

For a Q&A video… If tarantulas get their hydration from their food and drinking water, then why are some tarantulas said to require a higher humidity environment? What would the reason be? Are their book lungs different than other tarantulas? Do they need humid air to breathe properly?

Fantastic stuff Dave, that's a stunning species of spider 🕷 Dave, a wonderful addition to any collection, anyway Dave that's another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

Alan hickin (the Spider-Man) has a female metropelma familiare and there is almost no information on that spider, I’ve tried looking it up several times and nothing Edit: I found it! And it’s actually metriopelma, now cyclosternum familiare , I kept spelling it wrong lol

Originally I was trying to collect all of the Tapinauchenius... but I gave up when they started changing them to Pseudoclamoris and Amazonius. I guess I could just try to collect all of the spiders with butt dimples... but it's not the same

Be interesting to see which way she goes but I wonder if she's somewhere in between - a terrestrial who likes to have a bit of a burrow to hide in? I agree though Dave, her legs do make her look a bit arboreal. Keep us informed 😊

Wow, she looks like champagne satin...Sweet girl!

I have a very sad looking H. Pulchripes looking for a lady. I feel so bad for him.

And I noticed a lot that are boreales are very long they moved the front legs like they wondering where they going and ones that are terrestrial they are like thicker and their legs aren't spread as far away

Very pretty spider

Very lovely spider! The enclosure might be simple,.but its pretty cool.

It could have been cross bred

Question for your Q and A video Dave! My adult female Curly is currently in premolt and has been for about a month or two now. Is it safe to move her to a new enclosure during this time? Her current one is too big and I need the space, she doesn't like the substrate either (she stays on cork bark at all times) so I want to get everything right for her. Will it be ok to move her do you think?

Beautiful, she seemed to pose for the camera 😊. I am sure she'll be very happy in your care

I have an Amazonius Germani, that's definitely aboreal but it's one of mine I can't seem to find too much information on. It was a Pseudoclamoris gigas, which before that, it was Tapinauchenias gigas. I'd assume it has similar care but I am definitely not an expert.

If its the Amazonian Capoeira it will come out kicking 😆

Interesting. Looking forward for an update

I've tagged you on Facebook Dave on Martin Lees page. The breeder he got his from is also there to ask for information.

OMG the shine on her she is absolutely gorgeous !!!!

She is a very very beautiful girl ❤❤

What a jewel! Hope you keep us updated on this one 🤗

How is the new beastie room coming along? Will it be finished soon?😊

What a beautiful spider 😍😍

Just Gonna change my pants.

Dave can you not take a really good photo of her and send it in to the natural history museum, surely they will have her on record? No idea if they would help i.d. her of course

awesome spider and awesome video, thank you mr and mrs dave x

A real "mother of pearl" look to her.

Hello Dave and Cameralady, I have a question for the new Q & A video 😊 How did it all begin with spiders (for you both), and have you always shared the hobby? Thank you for another nice video. I can't wait to see how your new beasty room turns out. I don't have beasties myself, but one day, i plan to make a separate building like you, for an old computer museum 😅 As an early retiree, I have moved from the city, to a small village. Here, I have found an appreciation, for the little domestic beasties in Denmark. And much of it, thanks to your care and share, for the big besties 😊

Wow! What a beautiful Tarantula! ❤

very interesting time PROFF with this amazing coloufull shinny spider. hopefully someone will come up with information you need. some interesting times ahead. some good clear footage CAMERA LADY.. many thanks guys and take care-----update on the beastie world map please

Oh this is exciting 🥳 ❤

No spider expert here but that looks amazingly close to the Amazonius giovaninii. The carapace and milk chocolate toes look very similiar.

The bum reminds me of tapinauchenius. I am waiting for a package to arrive with tapinauchenius plumipes and some other slings today.

7:37 Absolutely perfect enclosure. Almost Zen (except for the water bowl). Very nice job; lucky spider.

Hi Dave...for the Q&A....have you ever had any mature males for no reason flip on to there back and try an shed ?...i've just had a mature electric blue male (with hooks and ebolie)do this even tho it feed 3 days before. needless to say it didn't make it but it did manage to shed its carapace and pull out one leg....any ideas would be helpful as this is the second one i've had.....many thanks.

Legs up to here!

Hello Dave, could you mention if red light bothers the spiders when you want to observe them at night. Hope we see the new beastieroom soon, I am so exited to see how much progress your buildingteam has made. Since there are no windows, how will the lighting timing be compared to the european daylighttime?

What a pretty girl she is lice tjat velvety platinum sheen too and those peachy colouring sets off the browns too l. Defo think arboreal liokimf at the toe pads and legs never hea4d if this species either do defo going to be looking forward to updates about her ❤

A spider Dave's never heard of? 🤯

She's got a beautiful sheen all over her. Really looks like tarnished bronze. And little orange toes 😊

Kinda looks almost how an obt would decorate looking in her box she was in. Kind of webbed up around the center. Be kinda informative to fins out what she ends up doing though. The long legs makes me think more arboreal and the big toe pads.

Something tells me it is going to be like the p irminia where it is arboreal however low lying arboreal

Wow, I’ve never seen this species before! What a great find! I can’t wait to see if she chooses to burrow or climb up top!

She's a beaut!!

no doubt it's arboreal

I am from germany and someone write its a tree spider may that helps a bit Dave and Camera Lady 🙂

Hello Dave, your videos are always extremely interesting and informative. I have just watched the ‘near miss’ rehousing of the frenetic Cobalt Blue spider and although your spider wrangling skills are second to none, I wondered whether you have ever been bitten by one of your spiders, and if so, how bad was it?

I have no experience with this species but I can tell you without even trying to look it up that is going to be an arboreal spider. Looks like every other Amazonius and Tapinauchenius I've kept, with the signature abdomen dimples. And I've been trying for a while to find an example of any genus that contains both arboreal and fossorial species. Can't think of a single one, maybe you can? I guess Maybe you could say Cyriopagopus... but that genus is such a bird's nest you never know if your spider is going to be called a Haplopelma, Cyrio, Lampropelma, or Omothymus on any given week... so I may have just answered my own question typing this post LOL My original opinion that this is an arboreal spider remains the same

Wow! Amazing spider, Dave!

She is so interesting and beautiful ❤😊

Have you thought about doing a live question and Answer video?

That's your saying Look at that make a shirt

This is a beautiful spider!

She is a beautiful tarantula

It's there a common name for it?

Dang 20 minute late again lol
