Excellent!!!! ❤️ You'll be happy to know my daughter (10yr old) made a PowerPoint presentation on her T and showed it to the whole class, and head teacher, it went down well and I'm very proud of her x
This is the best looking spider room of all the tarantula youtubers. Some other people are like "Hey, guys, welcome to my collection of tupperware boxes and deli cups...". ;)
What seperates the hoarders from the keepers are the enclosures imho. I`m sick of seeing tupperware with a hide and water dish only. We are supposed to recreate their natural Habitat as close as possible to make them thrive. Sure the bare minimum suffices.. but imagine you have to live in a room with a fridge and a bed only... you would survive but not as comfortable. I had a huge argument with some chick on instagram about that ..she said " hurr durr glas enclosures are so expensive" .. i said .. "well you can buy a T that costs way above 100 $, find your mistake and get your ass on craigslist or ebay to find used glas enclosures."
Whilst I do agree,I bet some people gravitate around spiders because of the low maintenance and low cost to keep them I only got slings so far but will definitely be buying decent enclosure when they get bigger but for their temporary enclosure I will not bother investing money on them I got 1 fifius gold I just moved to her forever home a little ago its one of those tiny exo terra plastic enclosure with the opening on top and ventilation around...I did provide her with a nice piece of cork bark(which she has started to slowly web onto,a fair amount of moss,little rocks,fake plants in a corner and a bottle cap water dish,she seem happy and satisfied with her little enclosure,I also left her enough room so if she wants to dig and make tunnel on the other side of the cork bark😊
Today I actually picked up one of these! The pet shop I got it from told me on the phone that they had a red rump, and since I’m trying to get a shelf full of the brachypelmas I was happy to get it…what a surprise that was when I got there and it was the golden red rump.
I want one so bad but I have like 14 reptiles and T’s (5 T’s the rest reptiles) In order that I got them A.avicularia P.murinus A.seemani B.boehmei S.calceatum
@@karastub1278 that's an awesome collection! 1 more surely won't hurt....... I've ended up with 8 😂🙈 B. albiceps, L. parahybana, N. chromatus, P. Sazimai, D. pentalore, N. incei, K. brunnipes and H. sp. 'Columbia' She's fascinated!
Your close Richard. People are making a huge deal out of the name pronunciation. It is funky but no harder than any other Latin name. Most of those get butchered just as bad as this one will. Just my opinion tho. I am super stoked on this revision. Part of what makes this hobby so awesome. If your your a huge zoology and taxonomy nerd like me this is what it is all about. Keep up the great work!
@Paloma Montoya my reference to “Latin” was to scientific name. Most scientific names are based in Latin. Latin Name or scientific name is sometime interchangeable in reference to binomial nomenclature. Yes, the genus revision was not taken from Latin.
I was ordering a G Pulchra as my first T and came across this video and noticed my dealer had a B. Albicep sling for $35 so you know I had to grab it! Had them both for a year now and couldn’t be happier☺️
Thank you for all your videos, they've really helped. I live in the high desert of NM, and one of these just waltzed across my bedroom floor in the middle of the night a couple of weeks ago and looked extremely malnourished. Being a science teacher, I decided to keep the tarantula, and am excited to eventually show her (we think it's a her) to my science classes. We hope to fully figure this out when "she" molts. Pretty sure she's a juvenile, about 2 inches in length. I've been avidly researching how to keep a tarantula, and more specifically the golden red rump and came across your video. This is exactly what I was hoping to find and I'm hooked as a new tarantula owner. I'll be following you for more tips and insights.
Your albiceps... is not like my albiceps lol. I can barely get a glimpse of my sling. It has a hide that it only uses when I try to check on it, or open the enclosure. I'm not allowed to look at it, or think about it. I may be taking a risk just by discussing it, not sure yet. On the plus side, it never refuses a meal. As long as it is prekilled and I don't try to watch it eat. Love the videos.
i'm thinking of getting a brachypelma albiceps as my first tarantula, i think they're absolutely adorable and i was super happy to learn that they are beginner-friendly, i'm probably going to get one once i move into my house and can set up a good terrarium. there's a great exotic animal con around my area and i've seen them there quite a few times, so i won't have to worry about availability either!
I'm so happy you covered this species! I love Albi. Got them in a mystery box sent from a friend and absolutely adore them. Glad you covered the temperament. Mine is curious. Albi, who is a sling, will run when I open up their enclosure but turn around and wait to see what happens. I'll see little toes come back after a brief moment of disappearance. They always wait for the lights to dim to scavenge the prekill. Also I don't think anyone is going to agree with the pronunciation. I wouldn't worry about it to much.
I had a stupid rookie mistake issue drama thing going on last friday. I had ordered some slings including the B. Albiceps and Bumba Cabocla. I went to check on them and found my Albiceps stuck in a vent-hole :( I spent about 3 hours to help it get through. After 2.5 hours I decided to use a bit of my spit as lube to get the tiny abdomen through. As I had put a cup with bark on the other end to let it pull itself through the hole. That combined the spit and extremely gentle push of a brush made it get through eventually. It's doing good now. Eating and looking good as tiny as it is. I had put all the 5 remaining slings back into smaller conatiners in the meantime. Sadly number 7, being the Bumba Cabocla, escaped and I haven't been able to find it. I learned the hard way and feel pretty dumb. The holes were so tiny yet still they weren't small enough :( Won't happen again though.
I think a lot of people make that mistake at least once. Important thing is you learn from it and dont repeat. I lost a Crypsidromus sp. Costa Rica ( Panama Black Emilia Tarantula) that way. It may possibly still be living somewhere in my basement...lol. hopefully I find it one day...but it has been a few years, so I'm not holding out hope.
I love a golden red rump but I’m trying to keep the addiction at bay since I started with 5 😆 Alex from Tarantula Haven made a video on how to pronounce the new name too it’s worth a watch. Great video as always Richard 👍🏾
Just caught this one Richard, it was super informative! I went ahead and ordered one from Fear Not Tarantulas and got it as a package...habitat and feeder prey included. They've been super great at customer service as well. I also ordered some keepers from Tarantula Cribs, those custom keepers are super nice...Thank you for renewing my interest in the hobby. I've been out of it for over 20 years. I'm so happy to see so many breeding programs now for many of the more popular species...I was always worried as a kid that too many were being taken from the wild populations. Cheers man! Have a great week!
I´ve been waiting for this :) I use similiar enclosure, only less substrate since my juvenile albi stoped burrowing after her first molt since i get her (i have her 2,5 years now).She´s hiding only when she´s ready to molt,she´s always stays at the open, pretty active at night. Mine is not so calm,quite moody,sometimes she start kicking hairs when i want to clean the water dish or even when i open the enclosure and sometimes she´s just calm :)
Another great video as always! I believe it would be great to make a new about feeder animals and their care, and if I can suggest a tarantula - to be filmed - it would be one of the xenesthis. :)
New on this channel and yeah i subscribed, good solid info much appreciated . One thing i noticed that most other channels do and you dont do much of is the unboxing and re housings, people seem to love those. Maybe add more of those, just a suggestion.
Thanks for support Shawn! I appreciate the feedback. I've done a few unboxing videos and rehousing and have another unboxing video in the works. One of the goals when starting this channel was to prove that tarantula RU-vid channels could be more than feeding, rehousing and unboxing videos because there are a lot of channels where that is the only content they create. There is nothing wrong with that kind of content, I just wanted to try and provide something a little different that was still enjoyable to watch. But I've only been uploading regularly since February so there is still a whole lot of videos ideas I have in the works I just haven't got to put out yet, but keep watching...there will be a few rehousing and unboxing videos coming in the future.
@@tarantulacollective thats why i like your channel, you and Tom do more than just feed and unbox, and its very informative. Just what new people to the hobby need in order to get started, me included.
I do prefer the docile Ts. This is one that I have heard the name often, but didn't know anything about it. Now that I've seen this video, I am interested in picking one up at some point. Thanks.
I have a few- and they are big personality Ts. I have a lot of rare/display Ts, but this juvie (Lady Almalthea since you called them a unicorn) is just one of my favorites. Big personality. Beautiful. Always out.
Me going through husbandry playlist: ooooo there’s quite a few tarantulas I’ll add to my list of tarantulas I’ll one day get This spider: *exists* Me: MORE MOOOOOORREEEE
thanks so much for makeing this!!! was so good! i have been wandering how much to feed mine as it grows and this helped clear that right up!!! great video keep up the good work man!!! :) also tarantula heaven brokedown the pronounciation in his last video which helped me learn the pronounciation of tliltocatl (assumeing he is right lol) t-liel-toe-cattle.
I believe it's TLEE-TO-CAH-TIL Awesome video man. I was lucky enough to find a smaller one and picked it up a few months back. That's the only one I've ever seen for sale.
I agree about this T being hard to get I just finally got mine 2 weeks ago from Micro wilderness got it at 1.5 inches was a stubborn little one and did not want to go in to It's enclosure.
Great looking T..... I was lucky to acquire one less than a year ago..... nite its about 1 1/2 inch.... looking rather scruffy so molt is soon! Thanks for another great video...😎🕷
Gorgeous T Richard!! Someone should do a video on the Brachypelma's that had their name changed. I have an albopilosum, vagans and my stepson has albopilosum and hamorii. I would love to see the Ybyrapora diversipes, Monocentropus Balfouri, Poecilotheria metallica and Regalis husbandry videos. My Pseudoclamoris gigas who lost his fangs is doing fantastic and you mentioned in this video not to give prey larger than the T. That's why I ask my stepson to feed him red runners but he put in a medium-large dubia. Keep up the great work you are doing. Take care Richard. Ibnsarachnids aka Rob
Thanks a lot my friend. I have plans on making videos on the Y. diversipes, P. regalis and M. balfouri very soon! They are high on the list. I like your idea about the Brachypelma and Tliltocatl split I may have to put something together on that topic. As far as the P. metallica, you can see that video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ouHfMU4qkCA.html I hope you enjoy it
Thanks man. I know the feeling. There wont be any for months and then all the sudden everyone has them for sale but a few weeks later it is back to no one having them in stock.
I just noticed today i have a golden red rump today after a year ,he was always hiding under artificial plants so i really never could see him good and was only like 2inch when i got it so i didn't pay no attention to him thought it was a red rump,thats what pet store said ,so i changed him to a bigger enclosure last week ,so he been hiding in his cave lol so i looked in today and said hold on his crown look pretty like a gold tan ,im like ohhh woowww this a golden and i got him for cheap with a curly hair also same day with deal for both so yea lucky on that 😊
Just picked up a juvenile golden red rump today from a expo and it’s got bit of an attitude which I like, but I think it’s agitated from the ride back home, I also have a curly hair and she is very docile! Love the videos keep it up man!
thanks for the great care videos, they are very informative and concise. Have you done a care video for Brazilian Red and White Tarantula ( Nhandu chromatus )? I have never kept a spiderling and want to give a try with this one. If you have already done a care video, please point me toward that direction, I couldn't find it on your channel. If not, can you do one? thanks a bunch! keep up the good work!
the_tarantula_collective 😂 it hasn’t eaten since we got the t either. It’s very strange. Great video 👍 you have 2 views and 2 likes from me. I shall share it out too. Your awesome! And keep up the good work!
I am having the same problem I cant find the albiceps any where and Its my deam tarantula to add to my collection ,,,,,,great episode keep up the great work
I have an albi as well. seriously chill T. Never threat poses or kicks at me... although will occasionally go on a hunger strike and seal themselves away from weeks on end :'D
Afternoon richard, well I been busy today, it was re homing day I managed to get acanthoscuria geniculata (jenny)went in easy🕷🖤 and p irminia (marcia) after my pastor😂, she's in her old home but the lid is off just waiting for her to climb out herself into her new home!
Love your videos. These species videos are great. But I do have a question. Where did you get the little water bowls? White with a blue rim. I would love to get some.
If you look under tlmy videos in the description, I usually have links for everything i use for keeping Tarantulas as well as shooting the videos. I actually have those little water bowls on my Amazon store under the "enclosure and husbandry" list that you can find here: www.amazon.com/shop/the_tarantula_collective?listId=1S7ADGAVCTVCM&ref=exp_inf_sh_mb_list_own_the_tarantula_collective_cp I hope that helps :) Thanks for watching!
Cool video! I've admired these for a while now too If I may offer a suggestion for your pronunciation: The greatest (mechanical) challenges for those speakers of Europid languages, whether traditional or colonized, are lingual position and mouth shape. For speaking this Nahuatl word, shift focus away from placing the tip of the tongue just behind the front top teeth (as in English) and instead use the top of your tongue, flat against the middle of your palate. This will enable you to properly sound out the first and last syllables, while disabling you from producing the long, low and very English sounding "TOW" of the middle syllable, which does not exist in Nahuatl. If you feel your breath escaping by the sides of your mouth rather than the front (as in Europid lingual structures), and produce a sound more like "KLI" and "KL" sound, you're doing it right! An unpracticed, Europid language speaker pronouncing something like "KLIL TOH COCK" would be a great approximation!
Thanks Richard for this instructive et interesting video! I recently had the chance to adopt an adorable albiceps too! His size is approximately 1,5-2 inches, and everytine I try to give him a small criket, he kicks hair at it..! He seems to only accept meal worms and other slow worms... Is there any possible reason that would explain that funny but rather odd behavior, according to you? Congratulations for your great work! I am a huge fan of your youtube channel!
Yo man im back with a question On what age would you recommend to get a tarantula ? And what is your favorite tarantula Keep the video's up bc ur subs are still rising and wont go down
Thanks! What age will probably have a lot to do with how responsible the person is. I have seen kids get Tarantulas around 8 or 10...check out Princess Sophie Pinks channel...she is a young girl with a lot of tarantulas. Personally I would think it would be over 13 before I'd get my kid one...but they're so easy to care for that wouldn't be my worry...i would worry more about the kid not being careful and getting urticating hairs on their skin or eyes. So I guess you'd have to base that decision on how responsible and careful the kid is. Personally, my favorite is the GBB...I love that tarantula and it is so hardy and colorful and makes some intense webs.
@@tarantulacollective thanks that will help me getting an tarantula when my little brother is old and wise enough to know that a tarantula is not as friendly as a dog and a tarantula would keep my sisters away from getting into my room bc mah sisters are scared of spiders that are 3cm 😜 again thanks alot for this info have a great day and i'll tell if i have another question and yeah can't wait till the next video
