D. diamantinensis "Brazilian Blue Beauty" Rehousings 

How's it going, Eric! I love the web-castles as well! Yeah, I think I'm going to start putting out some shorter ones. Thanks again!

Thanks so much! They are certainly little beauties!

Thanks so much, Roger and Vicki! :)

That's awesome, Sandra! :)

They are absolutely gorgeous. :)

Thank you, Paige! Mine grew rather quickly. I'm raising another now, and it's growing like a weed. :)

Thanks so much, Rita! :)

Ha! Thanks so much Fish Balls of Steel! :)

My bad, the band Prognosis is actually on Spotify. Yea I agree, it is a nice album :-)

Thanks so much, Marita! I struggle sometimes getting them to appear on camera as they are in real life. Now, if I can just get my GBB to shine... :) Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! :)

@@TomsBigSpiders - My pleasure!

Thank you so much, Gaylen. Yeah, this species is STUNNING. :)

Thanks , Tarantula Time! :)

Thank you so much, Marilyn! I truly appreciate that!

Hey, bud! Thanks so much! I'm loving those things. I just ordered two more. hahaha

Thanks, PsyDex! :)

They really are! :)

Awwwww...thanks so much, Rita!

If you find them, I would definitely pick one up, Alexis! :) Thanks!

Thank you, Sandy! :) And that's great to know. :)

Can it be that your tattoo has grown? Btw, I love tattoos ... 😍😍😍😂

Thanks so much, Mike! They really are little beauties.

That's awesome! Yeah, these guys grow fast!

Thanks so much, House of Invertebrates! :)

Hey, Dovey! It looks like I'll be doing some shorter updates. :)

Thanks so much, Meg! And never worry about missing some of my videos. I can totally appreciate how life can get in the way. :)

I'm definitely going to start doing the shorter ones again. Thanks!!!

Thank you, Toni! Aren't they gorgeous? :)

Thank you, Debra!

Hey, bud! Hahahaha! Thank so much. That intro was supposed to be a one-time thing...but so many people like it. lol

@@TomsBigSpiders it is pretty good me and the wife almost started a mosh pit over here over it LOL

And thank God, as I still use them! haha

Thank you!

You're very welcome!

I thought the whole album was fantastic and well produced. They definitely don't sound like a band that's only been playing together for a few years. And YES on the E. sp red part...that little red patch on the fanny reminds me of the sp. red. Thanks bud!

Thanks, Lexi! :)

Rachael!!! How are you? Man, you need to get one. We're going to have to get someone to hook you up at some point. ;) And thanks on the music. These guys are really talented! Thanks again!

I've been jamming to this song for close to a month. haha It's getting such a positive reaction, I might have to use it in the future. haha Thanks so much, bud. Yeah, these guys are stunning. This is one of Billie's favorites.

HA! Thanks so much, Gold Piece! :)

@@TomsBigSpiders no problem. :)

Hello, Helen! They really are a gorgeous species. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much, Clay! I really appreciate it. :) The molts can STILL be scary for me. haha. I'm glad that information helped you out!

Oh, man...GREAT job spotting the fangs and getting her crushed roaches! So glad to hear that she was fine after the molt. :) They really are vicious little hunters. :)

Sorry! haha I tried to do a little warning. lol

Thank you, Nuno!

That's awesome! I hope that you find what you're looking for!

Thanks so much!

Thanks, Ed!

Thanks so much, Susan. That's pretty much how I am with videos. haha

Thanks so much, Paul! That's Prognosis, a hobby buddy of mine's band. I would have LOVED to keep that as my main intro music as it fits my tastes better. Unfortunately, many folks aren't into the harder stuff.

Thanks, bud! :)

Congrats! This is such a gorgeous species. :) Thanks so much!

@@TomsBigSpiders I just placed another order and was wondering if you own a Cyriocosmus ritae (Peruvian Black and White)? I can't find as much information as I would like except feeding videos. Thanks.

Thank you, Z D! :)

Nope, that was only temporary. Apparently some folks didn't catch that part. haha

Thank you! :)

Thank you so much, Dan How!

@@TomsBigSpiders learning alot from you I'm on my 10 th tarantula so my collection is growing 👍👍

Thanks so much! This was only temporary and was never meant to replace the old one. :)

They really are lookers! It won't be long before yours starts showing some color. Mine grew rather quickly!

Tom Moran it arrived yesterday and you were right they are fast!!!!! Luckily she just ran around the top of the enclosure 50x times 😂😂😂😂

You're welcome. :)

Thanks so much, Mausami! Who knows if I'M even saying it correctly. haha

Sounds like you have a little serial killer there. haha I have an N. chromatus that used to eat the heads and bury the bodies. haha I'm so glad that she got right back to webbing!

Congrats...that's awesome. Heads up...the slings are FAST. :)

Thank you, Cliff!

Thanks, Thomas!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! It's only temporary. :)

Oh! I wanted to mention, an article you wrote in 2015 helped my partner and me out a TON today. One of our slings has pretty much stayed buried for a couple months now. We can see it, it's alive and seems okay, but we were worried about the duration. Thanks to you, I know we have a while before we need to worry. Thank you so much, Past-Tom! :D

Thanks so much, teekachu! Hahahaha. Aren't they gorgeous? :)

Oh, man...that's awesome! I'm so glad that the older ones are still proving useful. I should probably revisit them and see if I have any new info to add. Which species was it that buried itself? Thanks!!!

That one is an A. chalcodes; I did get them to eat once (I dug a lil hole in and dropped a cricket in before I knew better). Thankfully there was a takedown, but after that the little brat just buried themselves back over again, haha. You're most welcome! :D Thank you for all your hard work, it's very appreciated!

Thanks! They were easy to promote...they are awesome.

Hi, Gina! Isn't it funny how you can have two slings from the same sac that act totally different? :)

Love the P. sazimai as well. I have a thing for the blue ones. Yes, if you can find one snatch it up. You won't be disappointed. :)

Hey, bud! It's the old intro before I cut it down to the current one. I wanted to play an excerpt of that song, so I made it a little longer. It'll be back to my normal intro next time. Thanks!

I think that the song rythm fits very well the Ts topic 😁

Thank you, Jodi! Mine have been quite shy. That's good to know that they can be defensive. Do you get many threat postures? :)

Isnt that food response? Because mine jump on moving glass and stuff and things but isnt defensive

Thanks so much, Venom!

Hahaha. Thanks, Tarantula Nest! :)

Have you seen my resent video?

That's awesome, Bobbi! :)

Thanks so much, Damien! Congrats on the L. klugi (and the H. sp. blue). I still need to get a klugi. :) I LOVE my Homoeomma species blue, although they are still small. :)

That's awesome, Quinn! This is definitely a gorgeous species. :)

As slings, mine were pretty crazy. Now, she's more laid back than my GBBs. I think that it all depends on the specimen. :) And you definitely do!

It's only a matter of time before I do. I have to clean up my garage a bit to set up a work area! Thanks, Travis!

\m/

Thanks so much, Eyespeck! I REALLY like those for juveniles and dwarfs. The are crystal clear and look so darned good all stacked up. As for burrowing substrate, I'm currently experimenting with a coco fiber, bentonite clay. I'll post a video as soon as I can. :) Oh, man...LOVE me some Burzum! I just bought Dunkelheit on vinyl recently. We actually saw Amon Amarth in concert a couple years ago. It was EPIC. Thanks again!

I kept the substrate partially moist when they were slings. As they've matured, keep it mostly dry. I will moisten a corner down, but they don't seem to prefer it.

Ha! Thanks, The Tarantula Lair! :)

That's awesome, Russell! Love the names. Yeah, they are absolutely stunning! :)

Thanks so much! Yeah, I LOVE finding new things to use as enclosures. And, as some of my specimens mature, I've been trying to get them into prettier homes. I will definitely check that out! :)

Hi, Debra! I think that I'm around 150 right now. :) Thank YOU for the kind words. :)

Ha, thank so much, bud! :)

Hello, Corey! they really are stunning. Mine's an adult now, and there is a ton of webbing! And thank you so much for the sub!

Tom Moran well deserved. They are! I’m only new to the hobby so still an arachnophobe 😂

Thanks, Debbie! And this song definitely reminds me of Metallica! I'm glad someone else agrees. :) Thanks again!

@@TomsBigSpiders Yep, yep😊

Hi, Marcell! If it helps, I shot that intro on Saturday. :) Thanks!

I would love to continue to use it in some way. I personally love it, but every time I use a metal or rock song in my videos, someone gets turned off or offended. haha Thanks so much! Grab one the next time you get opportunity. :)

You're more of a figure in the arachnid community so I guess it makes sense. Personally I couldn't care less if someone doesn't like my choice of music in my videos. Don't watch if you don't like it! Lol 😂. All kidding aside, I have found some D. diamantinensis for sale at Jamie's. Only problem is I don't have the money right now 😒. I need to sell the rest of my widows & some scorpions! 😂 😂 😂.

Hi, Hannah! I think that it's easier to see their colors. The GBBs are gorgeous, but you can't really see the colors well unless they are under the right lighting. Yes, they do get their adult colors early, which is awesome! Thanks!

Hey, Tim! Did they change it back to Haplopelma? It was Cyriopagopus for a while. This is one of those "pet hole" species, so it'll need deep and moist substrate. I think that they are also a smaller species, too (4" or so?). I'm thinking that something in the 3-5 gallon range would work fine for one. Congrats! Did it arrive yet?

@@TomsBigSpiders your correct about the name. And yes I got it. Love it. I just fixed it like my C.longipes enclosure

HI, Charlotte! Me too! I have one of these now who has webbed the snot out of her enclosure. She's the right size for it, but I may have to rehouse to give her more room to web! And I started all four of mine in dram vial. They outgrow them pretty fast, but they start so small that I allows me to keep track of them!

Hi, Tristan! Oh, man...I'm so sorry to hear that. Is it possible the mites infested it after it died?

@@TomsBigSpiders very well could be. But I have absolutely no idea how it could have died. The only T's I've ever lost were two juvi/sub adult A. Avic's. A MM G. Rosea, the D. Diamantinensis sling and a C. Fimbriatus sling. And to this day I have no idea how any of those deaths happened. I kept all of them at a good temperature and the correct respective enclosures for each with a ton of ventilation for the avics and plenty of humidity for the C. Fimbriatus. The Avics were both from petsmart, so I think changing them into the proper type of enclosure rather than a terestrial critter keeper like petsmart had them in may have been too much for them since they were used to the incorrect conditions. Regardless I have 10 T's now from a 1/2 inch B. Albo all the way up to about a 6" P. Cambridgei. And all of them are doing very well now. So who knows what happened. But all is well in tarantula world now. XD

Hello! Unfortunately, I do not. You might want to see if they are found in similar regions. The care might be similar. You could also search Arachnoboards.

Hi, Vanessa! Congrats! I haven't kept that species before, so I'm not familiar with it's care. My thoughts would be yes, but I would research where they come from in comparison to the D. diamantinensis.

And that makes me jealous. hahaha

10 minutes or less used to be what I shot for (I have a short attention span haha). It was only in the last year I started making them longer. Might be time to go back to the old form. Thanks!

Tom Moran Same here. Im pretty sure I have adult A.D.D.

I was diagnosed when I was in the first grade, and it never went away. My 7-year-old has it as well. I tend to drift if things don't immediately capture my attention.

Hello, Russell! Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. Males can mature in a couple years, and will die months after that. Females take a few years to mature, and they are thought to live 10-12 years. How old was yours?

@@TomsBigSpiders I would say around 2 years at the most.

It shouldn't take to long. Mine got their adult colorations rather early on. :) Yeah, I kept my slings moist. Now that they have some size, I moisten down a corner and keep the water dish full.

I'm sorry to admit that my d, diamantinensis died couple days ago. I found it in dead curl day after it had that 'bath'. I had a closer look and found mites on its fangs! That explains that bath I think. It freshly molted last week and I was looking forward to it coming out for food but it wouldn't eat which was rather strange as it had incredible appetite. absolutely gutted..
