Fear Not Tarantulas Mystery Box! See what I got! 

I really regretted not getting one when they did the Aphonopelma mooreae. I didn't so much the one prior to this. I pretty much knew the Theraphosa one and figured it was the blondi but I don't feel like I'm ready for one. I don't have the space for when it grows large and I'm not sure I'm ready for the amount of care.

Yep. I agree. :)

Sweet! They are a gorgeous species. I'm really loving my dwarf T's!

I’m thinking about some dwarfs

Thank you!

@Landri Had to settle for two slings . Screw it . I'll take'em .

Ed Gufler yes sir. I can’t wait for them to get some size on them so I can not worry about them.

@@TarantulaHaven They all look very healthy and a good size.

Oh nice! Thank you for your support!

James Blinn thank you sir. In my humble opinion I find tarantulas much more enjoyable. All my scorpions are very finicky eaters and mostly eat in secrecy rather than eat when I feed them. Most of my tarantulas will eat on cue unless they’re in pre or post molt.

@@TarantulaHaven More then likely I will go with a Brachypelma Smithi.

Beth Gentry unfortunately I don’t have that species. I would like to own one one day because the Brachypelmas are some of my favorite tarantulas. I would imagine they are pretty close to most of your other Brachypelmas like boehmei and emilia. Their temperament is considered docile but they can be skittish and flick hairs. I still have to do one on the B. hamorii and my B. emilia.

Catherine Malloy thank you. I currently have 116 plus I held back 8 P. Cambridgei babies but I promised some to my kids so I’m not counting them yet. Also thank you for your support on the Christmas spiders. I hope you enjoy them. Would you like a shout out? 🤓👍🏼

I would love a shout out, thank you.

You got it!

Hello Alex, I just received my three Christmas spiders today and they are absolutely gorgeous! I was wondering if I put a ribbon on them can I wear them as a necklace or are they to delicate for that?

Catherine Malloy I’m assuming you can. They’re pretty sturdy. Just be careful of too much bending. 🤓👍🏼

Yayuh!

You're right about that but I did have a friend that bought one on the last one and got a P. irminia. She already had one and she spent $50 for a $30 tarantula. Of course she did get the enclosure with it so I guess it all worked out.

@@TarantulaHaven I can see that being a disappointment, just another reason to buy them all. Better chances coming out on top. Maybe? Hope so lol. I did so the reveal will tell all. Hope you enjoy your new friends. BTW love your videos and you children were champs on the challenge

Awesome! What did you get?

Both are great. I personally don't have a B. albiceps yet. GBB are awesome and great starters. Beautiful colors, easy to care for, and a feisty disposition.

I got a GBB sling as my first spider and it's been amazing. It's been a great experience. She's(hopefully is a she fingers crossed) been a little feisty a couple times where she kicked hairs at my tongs when I have been doing some work around her enclosure but no threat postures and has settled right in calming significantly in the process. Their hardiness cannot be understated. Mine lost a leg in shipping and was still hitting roaches like a freight train. She molted for the first time under my care yesterday and she has completely regrown her leg. I got mine with an enclosure and feeders from Tanya at Fear Not Tarantulas for $104 shipped. However, slings may not be the best starting point as I have learned through experience. 03Arachnids had some juveniles at $100 unsexed and $200 for a female. They command a high price since their apparently a hassle to breed as females are very cannibalistic. It's hard to say but if I could go back I would have definitely picked up something at full size to learn basic husbandry on a much more established spider. There's also the coin flip of getting a sling cheaper in the hopes you get that 350 dollar female for 50 bucks and some time with a tiny spider. But good luck and hopefully your sailing is as smooth as mine.

Cody that’s awesome! I’m pretty sure a sling is going to be the way for me! I want that satisfaction of raising a t from a sling plus my husband is terrified of spiders so at least this way he can get use to the tarantula’s size as it grows 😂

Tracy A yeah. People were speculating on the Facebook group I’m in but I’m not entirely sure until they officially announce it on the FNT went site.

I'll do that. Thanks!

Jeffrey Golish even a 1 inch sling can deliver venom and it would still be painful but I would think more to the 3 inch size is when you would really have to worry. They’re not as bad as everyone makes them out to be.

Hello fellow Vet!

Always here for you my brother! You're one of the best!!

Current count is 116. Most of mine are on a shelf and a book case next to my computer desk. I have a few that I keep in my classroom at school.

Tarantula Haven that’s so cool I have one P. Metallic. I really want the all in that group I really enjoy watching your channel thanks for all the info

Boy wouldn't that be something. Nah, I know what those babies look like. No spots on the abdomen just smooth orange. I'm hoping it might be some other kind of baboon.

Hey Channy, I think when they've sent them all out they'll make an announcement. Usually at the end of the week but I think it depends on when they get them all out. I've heard there have been some weather delays.

Alexander Valentino hey, thanks for the concern. Everything’s good. Just didn’t have tons of time to make videos over the holidays. I should have a new video out within the next few days. 🤓👍🏼

The Tarantula Collective and The Tarantula Community.

Tarantula Haven thanks so much! Love your videos, I’m so grateful for channels like yours that helped me really get into T’s :)

I think he just didn't expect it lol

Red Panda yes. These are babies and they will grow to be large tarantulas. Well, except for the dwarf species. They’ll stay about 3 inches or smaller.

Kenny Huard hey I’m still here. I have taken a little break over the holidays. I should have a new video out within the next few days. 🤓👍🏼

Torpedoes n Tarantulas what do you recommend? What do you use?

I use the same thing Tom Moran uses. Terra Aranea from The Bio Dude. I've completely phased out coco fiber. It molds too easy. You can use what you want though. I was just teasing you

I’ve heard good things about Bio-Dude’s substrate. May have to order some. You’re right about coco fiber molding easily. Thanks for the info. 🤓👍🏼

moodring42 yeah. Unfortunately the birds have been a new addition to our household and I usually record in ten evenings when they’re going to sleep. They can be very noisy during the day because they want our attention or they just like to chatter when they hear voices.

Tarantula Haven reminds me of saltycrafter!! She has to have her bird on her shoulder for some of her videos because of this. :)
