I Handled THE WORLD'S BIGGEST TARANTULA 

So we time traveled to her post molt

perfect timing on that molt then. She heard you say sexytime and was ready.

Oooh even she is excited to meet Blondino 😁

Whoot!

After I handled my female my skin was irritated and it spread all over me from touching did you get any reaction?

Haha, hopefully he couldn't understand ;D

Ouch 😭

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂

That's what she said.

I think I will just leave it with her lol

I would haha

Exotics Lair always takes his T's egg sacs because sometimes the T will (for any number of reasons) eat the egg sac or do all manner of things to it.

And hoping they succeed without being eaten lol

He probably didn't feel like he traveled because he didnt have to buy tickets and wait in an airport and such. Only had to sleep

May I ask what makes or inspires you to want to keep spiders? Do you find them cute or interesting yet ugly? Very interested to know if you could indulge me.

I've been keeping them from the age of 8 So I don't see them as ugly at all , Only word that comes to mind is beautiful ! The fact they can regenerate legs Ect They are well ahead of us This has been there world a lot Longer than ours

Plus the fact us humans are killing habitat for them Makes me want to keep them too As they will become instinct.

Isn't Tarantulas forbidden to keep in France? Hopefully you didn't get outed by Petko.

@@-numaios-5985haven’t heard that… hopefully not😅

@@dyo-dyostarantula3994 il me semble qu'il faut un certificat de capacité pour avoir des mygales.

What gorgeous boys! This is the first time I have seen someone pack a T with moss. Are there some secrets to that? It might be a silly question but I have no experience with Tarantulas and such. And I am a curious creature :) Thank you for sharing your boys so this could happen!

Have you watched any jumping spider videos they will help you get over fear of spiders

Hey! Ich habs tatsächlich geschafft, meine krasse Spinnenangst irgendwann zu überwinden! Ich hab auch immer die Videos fasziniert geschaut und auch die Spinnen in meinem Umfeld genauer beobachtet... dann dachte ich mir, wenn ich mir selber ne Baby Tarantel holen würde, könnte ich bestimmt meine Spinnenangst besiegen - und es hat geklappt! Vor 4 Jahren hab ich mir ein Mini Spiderling gekauft und mittlerweile hab ich 4 Stück, die kleine von damals ist schon riesig! Ich hab auch weiter mit Spinnen draußen geübt und kann mittlerweile sogar Kellerspinnen mit Hilfsmitteln aufsammeln und rausbringen! Also - es ist gar nicht so unmöglich, ich hatte wirklich ne ziemlich krasse Spinnenangst 😅

Watch as much as u can! My whole life i was so arachnophobic, it was rediculous. After 3 years of watching petko and other spider yt I finally got my first tarantula (a grammostola pulchra), and she/he is the cutest little sling ever! It really helps, to overcome you fear, to see how much love and passion petko have for his crawlers! (sorry for my bad english- its not my first language)! Keep it up!

Another youtuber that helped me get over my arachnephobia was Tarantula Kat!

For those of u with a fear of T's, there is another channel that can help that I've been watching too for some time called "Exotics Lair". I am NOT trying to take ANYTHING away from the ORIGINAL POST!!!💁👍🌟 He has numerous different kinds of T's, shows also how to care for them, handles them, feeds them, etc., I also saw a video recently he posted when he was feeding a T he'd had for over 5 years It was in the corner where he opened it up and the T got TOO excited and accidentally fell out of the enclosure 3 or 4 meters and hit the tile floor below. In doing so, the T's abdomen literally BURST open and he tried so hard to help the poor thing and stop the bleeding. The T died the next day, he was heartbroken and in seeing how he cared, so was I. The tear was too big and there was NO recovering from that. It was VERY interesting to watch and learn! 💁🕷️🕸️🙃 #Pixiegang #Crunchgang

@@wikkidfury Yes, I also watch him. He is such a cool guy. And Petko and him now each other. :)

​@@wikkidfuryI saw that video when the T fell to her death, I was heartbroken for EL. but yes I agree 💯% with u, he tried SOOOO hard to help her in every way he could. lisa 🇬🇧

Yeah, but I wasn't refering to claws that they have on tip of their legs. He was poking me with spikes on the underside of his leg!

I will soon have a fan mail address again!

yeah that's always my biggest concern. I love his set up, but i think for handling he needs a table down just like a foot off the floor, also in case they run off this table.

Tarantulas have different personalities between individuals, and different venom toxicities between species, but most new world tarantulas aren't extremely dangerous. For an animal who is much smaller than us, and is considered a potential snack by a lot of critters, biting isn't actually a very good defense, so it's not evolutionarily advantageous to bite when that is more likely to get you smashed than to help you escape. That's why itchy hairs work better: they make predators and curious animals back up. If a tarantula doesn't think biting is it's last hope of survival, it's generally not going to do so. Additionally, tarantulas who are gently introduced to hands and handling from a young age don't really see hands as "danger" anyway (though to be honest, I've handled wild adult male tarantulas that I've found wandering along the road here in California, and they didn't bother trying to bite me either as long as I was gentle). There are aggressive, and even medically dangerous, species, but many species are inherently pretty chill. And as long as you already know a species isn't capable of inflicting a dangerous bite, then yes, you can take it as a good sign if they don't try to fling hairs or get into a legs-up threat posture that they'll accept being handled carefully. If you keep them, you also learn their body language, which helps you make a more confident assessment of their temperament and mood. They're still animals, and once in a great while you could potentially still get bitten, but that's pretty darn rare if the the tarantula isn't mishandled or displaying defensive behaviors. And if you are bitten by a species that's not considered dangerous, it's only about as bad as a bee sting anyway, which is more irritating than it is scary.

@@cristiaolson7327 Wow, that‘s what i call an answer! Thank you very much

Drilling glass is usually also expensive!

How do they survive in nature then 🤔

@@TheDarkDen In the ground. Come on man, you know what kind of spider this is and how they live. You were even concerned that the female might decide to go up in her enclosure because she could fall and injure herself. I'm not exactly dropping knowledge bombs right now. I wouldn't expect to be having this exchange with you of all people.

@@stanleyhyde8529 On top of that, an awful lot of them don’t survive in nature. “It happens in nature” isn’t quite the strong argument a lot of people think it is.

@@BugsandBiology It looks even worse when it comes from someone with this much experience. He could just own it and be like "yeah, I messed up but at least the spider didn't get hurt." It was a newbie's mistake and it's critique got a newbie's response. I guess I just expected more from someone who's shown so much good sense up to this point.

It all depends on the species and how age. Little slings are fast while adults can take hours to molt!

@@TheDarkDen reallllly... ok then so it's a matter of hours, not days. Because I was thinking maybe it took them like 24 + hours 😅big difference. And now I know. Thank you !

Hehe, sorry...at least you had fun with that early goal 🤩 In regards to Theraphosa's, I have no idea. All I know that breeders used to struggle to get a successful eggsac from that genus, and the ones that figured out what works, kept it for themself. Nah, food is not the factor here, just a simple offer and demand. Good luck in your next game, hope Canada can write down their first win on World Cup ;)
