Finding Brachypelma klaasi in Mexico 

Love seeing one great channel acknowledging another 👌

Thanks for the kind comments! Spread the word!

Welcome and thanks for the kind comments!

@@bugsnstuff no thanks necessary, but appreciate the reply. Your videos really are a pleasure to watch and have given me some great ideas for refurbishing many of my T enclosures....p.s if you ever need anyone to carry your bags on expeditions 👍 lol. Looking forward to the next vid.

Education over entertainment every time!

Yes, such fresh videos are needed for each species, with explanations of the differences between the species, since from the photos alone in the research works it is not enough to fully understand the situation!

we very rarely see snakes.

Here I think it’s important to accept there are various schemes about how to potentially divide the Americas into subregions. Typically nowadays the entire northern continent is termed North America. Defined this way, that indeed includes Mexico, but notice that this way ALSO includes the other smaller countries down to Panama which you refer to as Central America, plus also those of the Caribbean. Put another way, when defined this way, then Central America is part of (continental) North America. So, if defined as Central America nested within North America, it’s not an either/or question for Mexico, as that can both be part of North America (it is of course) but still also part of Central America (is it?). To add confusion of course, there are various schemes to subdivide the continent, but let’s look at the UN geoscheme, an internationally agreed standard. According to that, then continental North America would be subdivided as Northern America with just a couple of countries, while others down to Panama would indeed be termed Central America. Notice that this way indeed includes Mexico as part of Central America, yet more broadly all remain part of the continent of North America. That said, let’s be aware that this and various other schemes about how to potentially subdivide continental North America are messy though, based on human geopolitical borders. I’d much prefer they were based more on possible land divisions that are more meaningful to the creatures we hopefully care about such as mountain ranges etc, but we humans have tended to develop more abstract geopolitical ones, with other suggested divisions like Middle America, Latin America, Mesoamérica, etc. All seem rather arbitrary though from a viewpoint of biology or even arachnology, I much prefer to follow the distribution patterns of organisms, whereby much of Mexico would be more strongly connected biogeographically with what you might prefer to term Central America.
