H. maculata Hatching and removal of slings 

This has to be the calmest tarantula channel I’ve ever seen

Mum spider was like "Hey I need a break from all these 150 kids, get me out of here!"

Hi Dave, what a beautiful tarantula and I'm glad her capture and return was nice and calm. Camera lady did a fantastic job catching all those little ones too, thanks for sharing 😁

They are a beautiful spider the markings are gorgeous. 222 Slings. Wow!

I can't get over how calm all your "bad reputation" spiders are. Just goes to show how much of that reputation is the fault of the keepers!

This channel is kinda therapeutic because I'm terrified of most spiders lol.

She is gorgeous! You make it look so easy. I always watch your rehouse videos for tips

Another awesome sack of babies your doing very well my friend, keep up the hard work your videos are amazing !😁👏

She really is a brilliant bit of kit Dave !!!!!

Dave you always make it look so easy. I'm going to need to come to the UK and learn from the master 💙

I’m fixing to rehouse mine at the moment. Out of all my tarantulas this is the one I’ve been dreading. Mine is extremely temperamental. All my pokies have been a breeze compared to my H. Mac

On a learning curve watching ‘baby’ videos 😊 This is great, love seeing the mum and little ones together like this, really interesting. The more natural behaviour you can observe the better IMO. She is beautiful, all your t’s are a credit to you in condition and behaviour ❤️ Edit: watched to the end omg poor camera lady! Over 200 to catch 😳 👏

That's a big spider...very majestic...

All over the room?...that will be me running for my life...

Another awesome vid buddy

What a lovely spider ❤️

Damn ... looks amazing ... love your Beastroom !!!

Makes me miss my old girl. Best Webber I ever had

Great video and stunning spider, really need to start on an old world collection🤔. Your spiders are never stressed because of the way you care for them, do you think this could be the reason for the large egg sacks?

she is a a,zing pretty spider this my favorite so far q:^) like looking at a dangerouse maze by skin

Big thumbs up to camera lady!

When their in their molting stage and they've buried themselves, what's a respectable time line before seeing her again? I have that nervous anticipation. Mines been buried for 3days now. Love the videos , cheers from Warman Saskatchewan

I think it's lovely that you leave the babies with the mommy for a bit, even if it is hell getting them all out. Loved the video of the mamma with her babies on her back. Hope that camera lady will reconsider and let them stay, I don't like the videos where you take the egg sack away from the mom.

Dave where do you sell your slings? Looking to expand the collection and I’d love to get one of the baby’s you have produced

I'm shocked that she was so chill. Almost every H mac I've ever seen is really bolty and some bitey lol. Every T is different though. I have an E campestratus that can be kinda moody sometimes and they're known to be pretty chill. She isn't what you would say aggressive nor defensive really but I get the idea handling her could be a mistake 😄. She will take her feet and push back against the paint brush which I think is very cute. She just wants to be left alone so I do. Congrats on that big egg sac. Tyfs God bless you

Very pretty.

Is she a star burst Baboon?

I must be losing my mind. I' m starting to think many of them are pretty. They don't t show any signs of distress from being separated from their slings?

Well done

How long ought one wait after egg sac removal for a sling to be ready to be shipped in the mail to a customer?

Hey from tarantula Chris fb

Can you ship slings here in the Philippines sir Dave?

I have a sling h mac. Any advice tips or insights that i can use???

How can I buy one

I have one sling maculata, i give small cricket, but can i give waxmott?

yeah terrible attitude on that togo starbust another myth busted pmsl

I'd hate to feel the crunch of a tarantula under my heel

Luckily they don't require diapers...it would be quite expensive...

I think As a viewer would love to see you catch the babies that's the exciting part

After viewing a lot of your videos, I'm stuck with you two! Wonderful clips and so much to learn from you! I've my first love with eight legs right now, since about march, and its an OBT! I was gifted with it, because the previous owner had too much fear... But we love each other! I said it's my first and unbelievably lost it, because the lid of the enclosure was not properly closed... but I found it (I don't know the sex of the spider for now) again, and since this experience we're bounded forever! My Baby was about one meter next to the enclosure in one of my shirts, when I found it, it wasn't thin, but thirsty as hell! And now, I made a new enclosure with a lot of space and possibilities to dig, but you showed me the semi-arboreal(?) skills of the species, and now I will build in some materials to climb! And a Question: Do you still have some babies of your Heteroscodra Maculata? And how big are they now?

Never seen maculata’s before…beautiful creatures. Thanks for the view Dave.👍🏽

You are so cool and calm, I can see how your demeanour is so beneficial. Fabulous video

I love camera lady whispering

This video is so heartwarming

God shed beautiful❤ thanks for this, I've got my first H.mac sling coming this week so I'm all excited 😁

Very much enjoyed the firm. Yes your females are in great health. Very pretty spider, thank you for the very good firming.

What a whooping bunch of cute little babies.

Dave is the spider whisperer. Seriously. I have a sling coming tomorrow.

I'm fairly new to keeping T's. Was always intrigued by them and last 18 months have been intoxicating learning more and more about them. My first was a B. auratum. Next 4 were old worlds. Discovering you and the lovely camera assistant is a gold mine! All the best.

Thank you for your videos! they are very informative. You wonderfully demonstrate that a calm mannerism will prevent needless injury. I've never seen such beautiful spiders. Also, thank you Camera Lady, you do a wonderful job!

LOL " A absolutely and nightmare, I bet" Talk about child support! Mom needed a break too, before she got hungry and ate one of them! "Great video"

I have two of these.. a sling and a juvi. Only T i have duals!

Hi Dave...can you explain about their natural habitat, where to look for them? In other words when walking in woodlands, how do you avoid their area. What type of peripheral vision do you need? Usually my eyes are peeled for bees, hornets nests and mother birds protecting their young and poison ivy or oak. I love painting wooded areas but can never relax. Probably need to hire four bodyguards like the President to scope out all angles. Good grief...a leaf fell down the back of my shirt and I became a roadrunner...disappeared for a day!

Awwww fantastic video 📹 👏 well done Mister and Mrs Dave 😍😍😍

stunning looking T an great video,

She’s gorgeous and the slings are so cute!!🥰👏👏

I have now found my favorite tarantula! Beautiful girl!

Have you got any genics for sale please thanks

Dave your a master you kept calm and the spider was so good keep it up

Are you in the UK if so do you have a website where you sell slings and juveniles Thanks

Were not sure if you got a new camera or more lights or what it is but this video looks crisp and clear and even more beautiful then ever great job guys!

Those slings are huge!

Eyup buddy, come back to this vid (im the one whos cats killed his C.Darlingi) Just got myself a 1" sling today and my god is it skittish lol

What a fantastic count Dave, I had to smile when u said it camera lady caught them all but it was u that looked stressed 😂🤣.

It's amazing how you drop a cricket, locust, roach etc and the tarantula grabs it and eats it, you put a male in with a female for breeding and sometimes she'll eat him but have babies and the tarantula doesn't do anything but protect them, it's very fascinating that it happens as everyone keeps saying they have very basic instincts and don't remember stuff and such and yet I see behaviour that suggests otherwise. I was looking forward to see the counting and catching of the babies, I enjoy those kinda videos very much which might seem odd :)

Beautiful species

I’m trying to find a website!!

What Beautiful mom and babies. You did that perfectly.you Love your babies Your the Man in our house . love c

Great video once again dude. What happened to the single sling in with mumma T 😂🤣 what a great count aswell. Can yoou do a video of the actual conditioning process for a couuple of Sp at some point. So before pairings ect ect as i know they need certian conditioning such as the grammastola rosea ect ect. Anyways once again great video. Looking forward to more :)

Just amazing Dave! How stunning is the mum and all those babies! So smoothly done, loved it! I defo need to get myself a H Mac, I’ll ok you ☺️

I would love to have a Togo Starburst as my first but not only could i not afford and enclosure and the spooder atm... I am currently living with people who HATE spooders and the person ive been talking about moving in with also HATES them...... so honestly debating on not moving in with that person just so i can get a Togo eventually

I want one for sure lol i have a king baboon which is a female and a coon baboon which is still a sling so i dnt kno gender

Has a spider ever lunged at camera lady while she was videoing at them from top?

She's pretty!

💗Beautiful Tarantula

She so beautiful.

Wow!!! What an incredible H. mac! This was lovely and fascinating to watch. Are you gonna sell them all or keep several of them? Props to you!

Our first maculata arrived today. The implementation was not a problem because we did it "nice and gently". It is an unsexed juvenile and looks more greenish than gray.

Wow 🤩 you are truly amazing 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Another beautiful tarantula. You sayyou have slings available, but how does one purchase them? I know this is an old video, but I'm just aksinfg a genral question about any slings.

Love your channel you should get more attention. Wish u were in the U.S so I could tour or buy some of your slings

Great sac there dave and nicely done dude :) hopefully have a h.mac sac myself in around 4 weeks ish so I'm taking your tip and if i get one it will be pulled at 35 days 🤣🤣 Congrats again dude 🤘🤘

May i know how big is the h mac?

What size exo terra do you have her in? I have recently acquired a sub adult female of this remarkable species and would like to get her into a nice permanent home

Well done

Dave I bought one of these as my first old world, I’ve had Psalomopeous for couple years now. She is in a top opening small nano , what things should I consider when I rehouse, I was thinking the bag method?

Oh my! She’s a beautiful spider! ❤ I’d love to have some beauties like her!

You know how some people are the dog whisperer? Dave is the tarantula whisperer because if I opened my H Mac container like that I’d never see it again 😂

Hey Dave! What a gorgeous T and what adorable babies. What size is her enclosure?

the egg sack numbers are 100% related to their care and condition or your animals

man that h mac is incredibly gorgeous.

Excellent video and information.

You guys did a great job as usual! Great video !

That is one awesome looking spider!

100% my favorite tarantula

Hi Dave. Thank you for the great video and info. My H Maculata has been sitting on her sack for 70 days. We left the sack with mum because when we pulled a P Irminia sack at 30 days to incubate, had 70 slings but only 5 survived 2nd moult. Do you think we should pull the H Mac sack or leave it with mum a bit longer ?

Hello to camera lady,

Just out of curiosity made you decide to keep the slings in with the moms until they are proper size? I want to get into breeding further down the line and I haven’t decided which route to take.

Love c babies

Haha. Sorry Dave! 3rd comment😅 Does the risk of death go up when a female is gravid?
