Caribena versicolour, Antilles Pink Toe rehouse and care 

Wow she was incredibly calm with that transfer, well done mate.

"Wait until they come out to feed them." My geniculata, who is always out: 😋

My mum still can't get over the fact that I can handle random spiders in the house now and put them outside. All down to your videos and exotic lair, not longer scared. Used to hyperventilate at the sight of the house spiders!

I love it when spiders are calm and chill like that. Most of mine are the same, but then we have my Ceratogyrus marshalli, who will literally bolt out of her enclosure and up my arm when it's feeding time haha.

They really are extremely beutiful

It's like you know when I can't sleep every time I'm having trouble falling asleep I get a message that u uploaded lol. Anyway another great video and she is one of the most beautiful spiders I've ever seen and so calm. Thanks Dave and Camara Lady love the channel 😀 👍

dave i recently discovered two massive fishing spiders have made homes on my front porch railing. they've been coming out every night. i have massive arachnophobia but watching your channel has helped me prepare for these terrifying new tenants.

Dave's Little Beasties should be a TV series, I say this because in these comments I have seen how this channel has changed many people's fear of spiders into a fascination for them and that is awesome 👍👍👍

Would be interesting to see a "Dayve in the life" (see what I did there? boom boom...) video - to get an idea of all the feeding, re-housing, pairing, inspecting, watering etc etc that you & Camerawoman do in a 'typical' day for all the beasties you keep.

I like that you touched on enrichment for your spiders 🕷❤💯

Pink Toes are one of my favorites. Im terrified of spiders but I can still admit they are beautiful.

My first T 💪🏽 absolutely beautiful can’t wait to get my hands on a purpea , love the morning videos perfect with a coffee before I head out

That was so cool seeing how calm and relaxed she was as you gently nudged her into her new home! In fact i would even say cute! (theres a word i've never used to describe a spider before!) I'm not even a spider enthusiast but i do really enjoy your videos.

She is beautiful. You always do such lovely calm transfers. Well done 👍

What a gorgeous spider. She’s so fluffy. Like a teddy bear

Good morning Dave and Camera Lady and that was a calm and diffrent way to transfer a spider in her own net tubing like a little bag. She was a beauty and so calm. A real Spidermans way, thank you for showing us this trick! Hugs Susanne and Luigi. 👋😊👍🥰❤🤗🕷👍

I have two of these as slings. The larger sling seems to end up on my hand, when I'm putting water in its home. Both are in well ventilated enclosures. Can't wait till they are fully matured. I love the colours of them as slings, and also as adults. They do seem such a laid back species'. Your adult certainly looks beautiful 🥰

Man you really are the spider whisperer. All your T's and true spiders have all been gorgeous! They are never skinny or ragged just beautiful. They are calm even when you are poking them to move homes. They must know that you really care that they are happy and content. Thank you and Camera Lady for another wonderful video.

My versi (a juvenile that is likely male) is one of my most active tarantulas. He has a web tube, but he spends a lot of time wandering around.

These are just such a wonderful species and its so cool to watch them change color as they grow up. 😍 One of the few tarantulas that are equally beautiful as slings as they are as adults. ❤ Beautiful setup and great information on their care! :)

Man I love this Channel so much, you guy's always seem to post a New Video at the most perfect timing

On holiday in the Scottish highlands, mountains all around me, single malt whisky in hand and Dave’s Little Beasties video playing. Not a bad life really 😀

For a lot of mine, I use the water dish as a way to determine if they are hungry. If they completely ignore when I refill it, they are likely full. If they repeatedly lunge and try to grab water, I will offer a prey item. Awesome versicolor. Mine is about half that size, but finally sporting adult colors. They are amazing. Ty for the video.

Morning Dave how are u wow what a beautiful spider she so gentle if I see anyone hurt a spider I'm not happy I love spiders they do there Webb so beautiful they are so amazing

Your voice is soothing Dave 😂 perfectly fitting! CAMERA LADY! Thank you for your service! The unstoppable duo taking on all rivals! ❤️‍🔥🌎❤️‍🔥

I so look forward to your videos..have to say it's my most favourite one ever. To be honest you could post a video of you doing nothing but standing there with your thumb up for half an hour and I would STILL watch it and hit the Like button.Cannot wait to watch this!! This may be my most fave spider. Keep up the briliant work Dave and Camera Lady!! 🇨🇦

What a beautiful girl you have! I can’t wait for mine to get that big. 😍 Thanks for the awesome content!

The educational value in your videos is unmatched imo...

I believe Exotics lair just got 3 of these spiders shipped to him as slings, I hope they grow up to be as beautiful as yours. Edit: I was wrong he got goliath pink toed bird eaters, I had no idea how many spiders have the word pink somewhere in the name.😊

All of your spiders are so calm when you rehouse them. Well, almost all of them. This one is very beautiful to look at. Amazing how you treat them. Thanks again.

She's very pretty!! I have added her species to my want list. It a real shame we can't hold and pet them!! :-)

I wanted to come back and thank you again, I’ve had an Avic for around 3-4 months and she hasn’t eaten at all. I know that’s relatively normal, but she was SO skinny! I followed your setup advice and SHE FINALLY ATE!

She’s so chill even though her house just got torn apart and she’s forced to be exposed lol. Majestic and stunning creature.

Hey Dave. Another Great Video. Please do a video showing the spider hunting for her food as you mentioned. Could be a Great video also!

What a lovely girl ❤ here's hoping our two grow up to be so chill!

Lol docile? Mines psycho 😂. Great idea for the background though I just may use it thanks she’s beautiful I didn’t realize how big they get mine is about 3 inches

Just bought a 1cm sling Carabina. Versicolor 2 months ago, after being in the hobby less than a year. It is my first real challenge after owning a few NW terrestrial's that are kept low humidity with just a water bowl, so fingers crossed it all goes well because I have heard horror stories about Avic's struggling to survive the sling stage as beginner a species through having too much or too little humidity. I think I am doing it right with dry substrate at the early stages with access to a water bowl and lots of cross ventilation. The terrestrial NW's that I keep pretty much look after themselves because all you have to do is make sure you feed them and keep the water bowl topped up, you don't have to worry too much about keeping the substrate moist, just a little overflow of the water dish every now and then.

Found this channel by accident and love the enthusiasm for every videos. Thanks a lot and hope the channel grows even more

Another great video about a particularly fascinating spider. They really are good looking and a bit bigger than I had imagined. Lovely plant too.

If I were a spider, I would love to live in on of your enclosures. Well done!!

I adore my versicolor. She was my first tarantula, but she is nowhere near that calm. I do think I want to make some changes to her enclosure now, it wouldn't take much to take it to the level you have yours, but... I can definitely see the added bonus for her quality of life.

That was like opening up a Christmas present! What a beautiful spider and a brilliant enclosure that fern makes it look really nice. Thanks for the upload!

Great video dave, this is perfect timing as im getting my caribena versicolor in a few weeks so awesome to see how to properly care

I have 5 versicolor slings. Hope they all get to grow up to be like yours! Some beautiful Ts.

Currently raising one of these. Started with a 9 mm body length sling. Growing well so far. You did indeed forget to mention something important: how beautiful and different they look as slings.

What a stunning spider,I got a couple of slings fingers crossed I get a lovely female like that.

Beautiful spider and another no fuss rehouse into a lovely looking and practical enclosure 😃

I invite you to calmly and gently press the "like" button. Dave and Camera Lady, I appreciate your work so much. Want to let you know I recently had a spider nightmare, which I partially attribute to watching your channel. However, I want to state proudly, I also attribute to watching your channel that I did NOT want or try to harm the spider at all. merely tried to move away...and woke up.

Thursday morning. Coffee and a new clip from the beasty room... what more do you want from life ☺

Dave...have you ever kept jumping spiders? They are a fascinating little spider..not to mention adorable. And how is that fishing spider doing? That environment build and the behaviour of the very speedy spider was one of my favorite videos.

I just came across your channel recently and I’ve got to say, you’re videos are by far the best out there. Not only because there’s a ton of great info but you also have a positive approach to everything. It’s nice to see someone who’s not trying to be some kind of badass lol. Thank you.

Probably the easiest rehouse I've seen so far. These are on a tentative wishlist, not sure when I'll take the leap for them, but eventually. Absolute stunner. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

Nearing 30k subs Dave, good for you! Still the best T channel on RU-vid and by and far the most informative.

That background idea is great. I might have to rehouse my Singapore blue, so I can hopefully see her more.

Now this is a cute spider! :-)

That was a beautiful unveiling of a beautiful, calm spider. Great video as always mate. Many thanks!

Definitely an amazing video, look forward to these, I am able to now look at a friends collection with out having an issue. I can actually enjoy looking at them because of your knowledge and expertise. Thank you.

Nice spider. Thanks Dave. C ya Ricky 💃🕺🏼🐈‍⬛🎶🎸💥🐊

As much as I love my mean fossorials, I absolutely love Caribena Versicolors 😍 they are so beautiful

Excellent video Dave. I'm one of those who really struggles with versis. I have a juvenile atm, so fingers crossed things will go right this time!

She's a smashin T Dave and so calm hope she soon settles in her new crib ..... great work Camera Lady .

Shes beautiful!

I chose this as my first spider.

Now she's a real teddy-bear of a spider!

Incredible species and specimen, love the enclosure...like allways 😆 🤣 wellfare, beautifull & funtional

When growing and maintaining different mosses, I have had good luck with flat tubs with clear lids next to a brightly lit window. Not sure how much you keep on hand but this does work and moss grows very well. I also use this to propagate different types of moss. The urticating hair patch is called a "mirror patch" for those that do not know ;) Great content and video work as usual! Thank you!

My last transfer with my versi; I opened both enclosures up to each other and sealed the gaps. After a few hours she casually walked into her new home. Once she had settled in a spot, I took her old house away and closed the doors. No fuss, no trauma 🥳 if I had the skills of Dave, I’d be able to do what he does, but these were my first slings and my hands aren’t always the smoothest 🤪 they’re almost a year old now, super happy critters. They teach so much. So does Dave! 🔥👍👍

That spider in the left tank is enormous!!!!!

Thank you so much for this! I have 4 juveniles currently of this species. Is this my favorite spider? Yes! I only have 8 tarantulas and the Caribena versicolor is half of my collection. I received 5 when they were in the 3rd instar. I lost one due to a bad molt going from 3rd instar to 4th. It shed it's mouth parts and was unable to drink or eat. I believe that if these are sold they should be 4th instar or higher. There seems to be a crazy mortality rate for the ones that are 3rd instar. That enclosure that you used is very intriguing. I will be using something a little different but the basic setup for the bio-active is what caught my attention. I do believe ferns can get rather big, much bigger than that enclosure. Are you planning on trimming it to keep the growth down? That moss looked wonderful!!! I need that moss in my life. I am using fake plants until I have adult tarantulas. Bio-active is what I want my adult females in! Love your content and /wave from across the pond.

Hello there beastie Team 🖐 Thought i stop by and have a look what you both was doing. 😉 Love the Enclosure, made mine almost the same( learned it from you). What a big, real big and respectable Spider she is.Here we would say : wow she is proper in Size and Colour. Best Greetings to you

Dear Dave I wanted to thank you for your channel I have been watching your videos with complete fascination for the last few month. I have always had a fear but true fascination for spiders. Watching your videos my fear has subsided greatly. You have a great knowledge and explain things so clearly. Those spiders are lucky to have you, keep going you are doing an amazing job. Thank you. You are the David Attenborough of spiders!

Thank you for this. I was hoping you would do a versicolor general care video.

What amazing beautiful spider. I never thought i would so such a thing about a spider because I'm scared of spiders but im getting to love spiders because of your channel and others. Thank you another great video 👍🍻

My gawd that is an AWESOME set up !!!

I just had a really crazy idea, you could have a model railway to transport your tarantulas around so they could have a little picnic.

Hi Dave I love your videos. I was especially happy about this one as I have had a C. Versicolor in care for 3 weeks and she shed her skin yesterday. She is still a beautiful little blue spiderling. I can't wait to observe her healthy in her adult state. I learn a lot from your videos and I am very much looking forward to what is yet to come. Love greetings from Bavaria.

Have you considered maybe doing a feeding video to show these behaviors? It would be mighty interesting to see!

Brilliant video Dave, very informative and enjoyable, that Versicolour is absolutely stunning Dave. Another super 👌 job again Dave by yourself and camera 📷 lady.

I can't believe there isn't a use for all that lovely silk

Thank you and your wife for more great content!

I want one soo bad lol

I'm so appreciative of these pink toe videos. I'm new to the hobby myself and have both an avic avic and a c. versicolor. They're both slings, so I have a lot to look forward to, but your videos definitely help when planning for what they'll need. I'm loving them so far. They have unique personality. The avic avic is such a go-getter, while my c. versicolor is a total prima donna. S/he won't go get their own food. I literally have to place the cricket on their webbing. I can't wait to see what they'll look like when they're adults. You've given me so many ideas. I'll have to head to the mountains for some 'beastie' material of my own, when the time comes :D

I've yet to keep any kind of spider, but I've been doing research for months on what species would be best for me. I think I've found it here. What a gorgeous creature, and love this set up. Thanks for all the great content.

Amazing video as always Dave, I now have 3 C. versicolor and absolutely love them, first and only T I have handled, granted not because I wanted to but because they always come out when I open up their enclosures and end up on my hands. Your girl is absolutely stunning 😊😊 thank you as always Dave, your advice always helps me, because of your videos I have so far never had a T bolt on me as I always make sure I take my time when doing anything, only 1 that initially tried to run when I first got it was a H. gigas 3cm sling so I have now named it Basil Bolty 🤣

Brilliant Job, Dave & Camera Lady !!!

Wow that was awesome!!! To see where it was in a tube. That was made sooo well inside by him.. that is amazing.thank you Dave, untill the next video.. can't wait... Cheers

I was distracted through the preparation period looking at the I assume big girl off to the right getting some sun 😎 lol

You got a stunning t there dave awesome
