BALFOURI SURPRISE! 

That girl wasn't shocked she was surprised at how good and smooth that man was, she probably wont forget him. 😂😂

That tarantula is one smooth operator😂1 good breeder👍🏼👏👏👏

I've had my communal for 10 months and just rehoused them into a bigger enclosure. I totally understand the impatience for them to start webbing everything up 😂

I'm rooting for ya! That Casanova Balfouri smooth his way in and out job well done 😂

Even archnophobes can admit balfouris are gorgeous critters :)

That was the smoothest pairing I've ever seen.

That adult male Balfouri is a smooth operator, a Don Juan of the tarantula world! 👍

When you see the female go into that trans state you know it was successful. Also Balfouri create web hammocks, they don’t rotate the egg sac like most t’s do. Congratulations on the sac and on another successful pairing.

Red LED for night filming, they practically can't see it at all. My communal slings (Aussie Coremiocnemis sp) got rehoused yesterday into their proper enclosure after a few weeks in a temporary one upon arrival. Gone from 11 to 9.. and two of em had quite big booties as evidence of what happened! Sad, but 9 still is a decent number, and hopefully stays there!

It is cool how the male leaves the female in a trance after pairing. It happens very frequently with balfouri. I still don't know why, but I have my theory. Congrats on the egg sac! although it is very unusual for the female to not stay with the sac and look after it. I have bred balfouri several times now and never witnessed this as usually they are very maternal.

That boy was so confident! No drumming necessary, just "Hey baby, you wanna be a mom? Cause you're about to be!" And before she knew what had happened, he went home. Lol

That male really continued Poul's legacy. I'll call him Poul Jr. Rest in peace Poul, our hero.

It's getting there

Glad to see there isn't any more tarantula on tarantula murder going on in the communal!

"Panic, Panic, Great Panic" Relatable 🤣

@ 11:18 "beautiful background for sexy time" I laughed so hard 🤣😂

Sweet video Petko! I cant wait to see more progress for the Balfouri !

I sure hope the pairings were successful Petko❤

you could try using red light in the dark it might be less invasive for them???? thanks for sharing your love for Tarantulas i have certainly gained more respect for all spiders in general. love ya friend!!!

Should put adequate housing for all in such a small closing. Don't rely on their instincts because you've shrunk their surrounding

I remember when i was younger my cousin and i found a tree and i was completely shocked! It was silvery white and it was due to webbing, i mean this tree was about 10ft high, maybe more and it was completely covered in web. It was small spiders too. We are in Scotland so we don't have big spiders here in the wild. I have never seen anything like it since. It was something almost beyond comprehension at how much webbing had been done to the tree. It must have been dead because there was no way the sun could get to it because it was just web, web, web after web and sto deep to, layers of web and hanging from it too. The odd thing was there were other trees around it but they were no touched, it was just this one tree. I will never forget it,

Awesome video as always!!!!

what a chad that balfouri guy is

Dude is a stud, did what he needed to do and got out. Stud...

yyyeeesssss finaly the video

Maybe the webbing on the top of the branches is to secure them before webbing the lower ends? I guess anchoring them to prevent wasted time? Are spiders that way inclined? 😂 Great video Petko :) as always

Ty Petko!! Do another live theyre so fun!

Great vid!

Awesome Video dark den

Great video !

Love seeing the communals !

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

wow that was great how you were able to zoom in so close to them while her was doing his thing. I never noticed the little ball/bud type thingys on the end of their legs... are those the pedipalps?? I wish it was even closer and longer so i can see what he really doing, it's so intreeeeeeging and cool.... Thanks for the update and best of luck at the event coming up. I have a feeling this is a solo trip being that the wife HATESSSSSS SNAKES !!! 🤣✌🐍

very interesting showing this video. I did not know how they mate. Thanks Las Vegas, Nevada USA

So much in this video….just so cool😍😍. Firstly, they are all very beautiful ❤. I hope the webbing in the community goes crazy soon, lol. Also, I hope the egg sac is a good one and not a bust. Lastly, Mr. Smooth😂….he is just…lol. He went in there fast and smooth and ca,e out the same way😂. Thanks for sharing this with us😊

You should meet that male balfore Don Juan he's doing so well

cool..... good luck with the sacs!

Balfories are beautiful ❤❤❤

Kinda cool they all picked their own corner's... Doesnt seem like these specimens Web a whole bunch in general, since you have already had most for so long already...perhaps another future communal will have better luck for the Big Web-Castle

Great video

Awe I hope babies too cute awesome video ✌💖😊🕷

Beautiful Petko!

It's a web bungalow at the moment, web castle is under construction

Great content. Don't be so hard on yourself. The webbing was great.😊

lovely

They're all basically standing as far away from each other as possible. Are we sure they want to live together?

OOOOH IM EXCITED FOR YOUR FIRST NIGHT VISION FOOTAGE. 😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

12:33 So he's lighting a cigarette and calling an Uber while she lies there trying to remember what year it is. Sounds like a successful pairing to me.

Awesomeness Petko😎🤪👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

very cool to see :)

They look like fuzzy puppies!

Hello great video congratulations Petcko

You should invest in night vision cameras that would be fun!

Petco where did you get your t-shirt?! It's amazing 🤩 thankyou

DAMMIT PETKO!! it has been over a month since the sac was laid. I wanna see babies (when you actually have time lol) 🥺

❤❤❤

Any suggestions on keeping an ivory milipede in a terrarium type enclosure? I honestly haven't seen or found much on it. I just got one for my son, and we wanted to keep it in a large round glass piece. Suggestions please?

Have you tried to use a red light. Won't disturb animals but gives you light to see :) normally what's used with other animals

Cool communal!

Just wondering if you could use a 'blue' light similar to ones used for fish tanks? Will they register that light as moonlight maybe?

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Hi petko I have some names for you all depending on the attitude, when you get new animals/ arachnids ect, how about your subscribers say what names are compatible, 1) Satan's soul, 2) Satan's assassin, 3) Devils door if you get another new trapdoor, 4) Evil warrior, 5) Insect destroyer, 6) Satan's henchman for a male, 7) Satan's wife, 8) Death awaits, 9) Evil amongst us, 10) Death bite just 10 for now lol

"something"

I feel like the enclosure needs rocks or slate rock more surface for them to web on to.

Sweet

Hey, if you want to do a time lapse with lights off I could make something that would flick lights on and then take a picture… just a thought.

use a led red light. On my channel, that's what I use to film my worms and isopods at night. I stream the action every night. That way, you won't need a night vision camera.

😍

Lol I really don't like spiders but you changed my mind on them lol I kinda just like looking at them and now I know how at least one species does it😂

Something interesting would be to set up a webcam and livestream the first few days of a new re-housing so we could watch the entire thing, real time, if we wanted. I'm sure a few of us would tune in and even pretend we have a tarantula in stead of a second screen... My wife *FORBIDS* me _any_ kind of arachnid pet.

1337 all spiders are fed

More Balfouri, yaaaay! Webcastle here we go

Would light disturb the web making? Or do they just don't care? If they do, maybe invest in a night cam if you haven't already. Regardless, congrats on the pairing and the egg sac.

According to Dave Fisher Balfori don't make the standard egg sac. They make a hammock and lay their eggs in that. And that Male is a real smooth operator. Even the female was shocked.

Cute tarantula.

from a lot of other breeding videos I've seen from Dave's Beasties, the females of various breeds remain in that trance like pose for some time after insemination... perhaps nature created a sort of 'safeguard'? for some breeds of msles.

That dude just waltzed in and swept that lady off her many feet!! 😎🤵‍♂️😏

Well done! Will you let the babies hatch with the mama?

If that male isn't named, I feel like he should be called Casanova. Just for the fact he appears to have gone in, wooed the females, done the deed and swept them off their feet before leaving without a word, leaving them shocked!

Very good video. Does anyone have any tips about how to house slings? I think I've lost too many long time ago when I overwatered them.

Gdje se moze doc pogledat to u Zagrebu?

I have 4 trantulas in my collection dark den

just like my slings . they aren't really webbing at all

How did you make your comunal enclosure/set up

Hi i have a small community with 2 Balfouris. Is it possibke to add more or will they not get along since they dont know each other? Great Video as always Cheers

Hi dark den

9:00 - I wonder if you can actually make a Spider blind with too bright light. They are crawling under direkt sunlight, which is much brighter than most artificial light sources, and they can´t close their eyes with eyelids or something. Shouldn´t this burn out their photoreceptors like in a human eye?

Can I add more balfouri to an established community?

Hi

Hi dark den could they sticks in the middle not go through there abdomen 😊

Some species of tarantula females will go in a short trance after mating

it doesnt look like he did anything, that pinkish fleshy thing is supposed to flip out of his pedipalps and be inserted but they were still tucked in

No pairing took place IMO.

Watch the newest Dave’s beasties

hello can someone tell me how long it takes after mating for the male to build a new sperm web?

the pornstars we're amazing but camera man disapointing :p more angles next time.. and more porn xD

Was more dumb on your part than the balfouri, wasn’t a very good idea to mess with it when it was upside down causing it to fall…

No IT IS the only place wäre they can find cover

Hi
