Japanese Funnel Web project , progress report 

It’s amazing how different their personalities are despite being the same kind of spider

23:32 balls of steel for having that spider under your left hand

I always say spiders and Ts are a lot like humans, meaning they have their own and different personalities ! This video proves that ! Excellent video Dave !

Always feel like I’m in the most interesting college class when I watch these videos. Amazing content every time.

These ones really strike up my phobia. Everything about them says trouble to me. But you Dave, you put me at ease.

Who's been awake and waiting??? Lol!! Amazing spiders! Wow!!

As a resident of Japan, I was relieved to hear those guys live in Okinawa, they get upset so easily. Your tarantulas are teddy bears in comparison... and I think almost all of the tarantulas I've seen are prettier. Don't get me wrong, these Japanese Funnelwebs are fascinating spiders, but you can tell they evolved in a real rat race environment because they are triggered so easily.

Ill never grow bored of these.

I love that I get to see them through the screen. Thank you Dave and camera lady!!

You do realize that your logo is great, AND as an added bonus, it highly resembles the hindquarters of numerous 1959 Chevrolet automobiles. Love your stuff Dave. Just told a bunch of ne'er-do-wells', fellow Veteran's over at Valor Guardians. Hopefully you'll pick up a few more subscribers. I would like to see you hit 100K. You're a very interesting gentleman my friend. Thank you for the endless hours of entertainment. You and Cutting Edge Engineering are about the only two videographers that I even consider watching more than once. Curtiss is just plain good and you are calm, gentle and clearly love your spiders.

badass looking spider gives me the eebee geebees watching

Love the show and tell, Great spider's cunninghary And scary

You’ve got a big set on you big Dave . It was making me nervous with all the tubs opened at the same time

OMG…I LOVE THE LONGER VIDEOS 😁😁😁

Morning dave brilliant video mate as all ways its nice to watch your videos take care mate

Yay, I'm so excited! This is one of my favorite species that you keep!

Those are scary, scary spiders Dave.

Well that was nice and relaxing for my good night watch. 😁thank you

Gorgeous Beasties. Of course You'll have to make nice display enclosures for some of them, so that they can build beautiful webcastles.

It's interesting how at 16:29 you can see she's eager to get to the roach, but she's forgetting that she has to unhook her fangs from the silk first hahaha

That was a fun video. She was so gentle taking the food it is almost as she was saying thank you.

Super video! They are neat spiders and very scary looking if I were tiny.😂

43 and a half minutes of great content mate! I was only going back over your last harmonicon video yesterday. They are amazing. I love the colour of there carapace beautiful spiders. I love following these projects mate there very interesting best of luck with them!

Perfect timing on the upload I had something to listen to and watch as I was feeding my tarantulas. I just love the education you share with everyone about all tarantulas and spiders best tarantula channel ever.

Rewatching this. Your calm consistent husbandry can't help but reassure these spiders. You and Camera Lady amaze me every time.

Lovely video as always. Thanks again to you and camera lady! Really enjoy your videos. 🕷 ❤️

Day off..coffee in hand & dave pops up with a video...perfect!!

When I. was keeping spiders and other inverts, I used to drill a little hole above the water dish and used a 60cc syringe with a very narrow piece of tubing on it to fill the water dish through the hole. Used to be very quick as I used to have to water pretty often due to the heat here.

They are so very beautiful. Thanks for pointing out the ones that had just molted. Understanding what to look for makes taking care of them much better.

I think these are my favorite that you have. I love updates on these cool spiders!

Great to see an update! They certainly have grown quite a bit from the last video.

I never imagined that after a hard day's work, it could be so relaxing to watch a guy handle spiders. Great channel about really fascinating animals. It's a hobby which you can transform fear into fascination with.

So stunning spiders!! Thx 4 sharing Dave!

Amazing spiders but they look scary!

I have been waiting on an update about these guys/gals! 😄

Wow!!! Just WOW!!!! They are all so stunning ❤❤❤ fab video Mr and Mrs Dave 😍 thank you for sharing 🙏 ❤️

Wonderful and interesting, thank you dear Dave and Sweet Camera Lady!👋👩‍🦳👍❤🕷🥰

Very cool Dave and CL. Thank goodness they don’t jump…that would scare the pants off me 😊

I think it of all the different spiders, the funnel web and tiny house spiders are the only ones freak me out. Although I'd still prefer the spiders over the roaches and crickets or any other spider food for that matter.

Since it’s not my table, I could snicker at the one who never relaxed her threat pose with her little arms in the air. “Awww! You’re such an adorable drama queen yes you ARE! 😸🙌🏻🕷️” Meanwhile if I saw that live, I’d sweat through my clothes and cry

Funnel Webs!!!! Love these spiders. Thanks Dave for the follow-up on these guys.

Interesting how not all of them reared up in a threat display. I'd guess like people, some are more prone to irritation than others. Always love witnessing a takedown. Stunners ! Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

OMG My favourite spider, thankyou so much this is awesome to see. The speed that these move is unbelievable. Can't wait for the next update on these

Amazing funnelwebs. Love them

I think these are my favorite beasties on the channel. They're just so exciting to watch!

Thanks you two for taking the time to give us some insight and the progress report. ❤️👍🏼 much appreciated !

This has been one of my favorite videos. I, actually felt sorry for the 2 defensive ladies, they both looked scared to me. Anyway, thank you Dave for another wonderful video. I was having a bad day, your video cheered me up!❤️

Hi Dave, im interested in abit of behind the scenes, how long do you spend daily on caring for your beasties, and how long do you spend just admiring your collection, thanks

They are starting to looking awesome dave.. so impressed with their personalities. That's why I really enjoy your channel. You're very good at what you do and educating us on what you have notice and discovered of all species of spiders. And it's really cool. So like always you doing a great job my friend. Keep them coming..👍👊💪🕷️🕸️

Fantastic camera work…well done guys!! 👍😎👍

17:00... U should mark this one, and see if she'll do it again later. Maybe she's figuring this out with feeding?^^ \O>

I would love to see an update on how the pocilotheria regalis are doing. You saved a few that where stuck together with some black eggs 9 month ago. I hope they are well 😊

Wow, where do I start? I don’t think they are especially for beginners? Never forget to look after those fingers! ❤️

Morning Dave & Camera lady wot an amazing vidoe as always would not like it if I would get bite by one of those is there venom poisonous to us

I've been so afraid of spiders pretty much my entire life, but I'm slowly starting to see the beauty of them after videos such as yours. Really like how you don't make it out to be a big thing, just calmly talking about them, explaining what they do, what they're about and showing they're not the monsters my imagination tells me they are. Thanks for all your awesome videos!

Won’t lie, I’d be intimidated to keep funnel spiders. They just seem so skittish, and if they do fang you… well the term “medically significant” seems an understatement.

I've been waiting for an update! Had to cover my mouth to keep from freaking out, out loud! Lol

that fourth one was so calm and delicate LOL i wonder if personalities in spiders can be passed down, cos that one might be nice to breed for that LOL

Hello great video information and updates Dave

I've said before how I come around on my spider fears when you saved the tarantula (again thanks for that), but funnel webs were my real nightmares. Probably watched to many Australian shows! 😅 I imagined peacefully walking around and a trap door opening, dual fangs ending my life, lol. Your love for spiders is a game changer and I will never look at spiders the same way. Already before this I've managed to not kill a spider in many years. Have a bit of an ant problem in my house (and flies as usual, composting and all) and the spiders keep them in check, so when I see a spider in the bathroom I just think "go and get them!".

These are my favorite spider. Very scary looking.

Marvelous creatures.

Dave that was absolutely fantastic, those Japanese funnel web spiders 🕷 are something to behold, delighted you did that update Dave, If i see an opportunity to get one, I'm definitely getting one, already looking forward to the next update, Another triumph for yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

My favorite videos are with these funnel web spiders. Such interesting creatures

Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💕💙🕷️hope you’re both doing well and enjoying your Thursday. That was a very enjoyable video Dave, it was great seeing your Funnel Webs again! Camera Lady was brilliant too with her closeup’s 😊 I loved seeing all the different personalities of each Spider, you wouldn’t want to handle any of them either 😂 Glad to see that your project is coming along nicely. I like your new enclosure one of your lucky spiders is going to test out. Take care both, have a great weekend 💙💕🕷️😘xxx

Absolutely Fantastic Mr Dave what an Amazing looking Spider.. They Definitely are Pretty Skittish .. I was going to ask if I could see a molt But then I got a Birds Eye View from the lovely Camera Lady’s Close Up from more than One ......the Smaller Spider truly is Quite Fascinating and Beautiful at the same time .... Thank You So Very Much Mr Dave for Sharing Your Knowledge and Your Gift of The Magnificent Magical Spider .... A Big Thank You to the Camera Lady for her Great Close ups .💕💕

These are really beautiful and very interesting. I agree they seem much more skittish than overly defensive; aren't these personalities so different???? I think the one will be frozen in that threat posture for hours (poor little thing) - she's not taking no sh*& from anything!

Fearsome little buggers when they drop that threat pose.

I have a versicolor sling that sits with his teeth stretched out too I put a picture of him doing it on the arachnoboards because it was something I had never seen a t do before very interesting your funnels are doing it too. I wonder why they do it 🤔 Stunning spiders btw, was very interesting seeing the different behaviour in different specimens in the same species. Great vid as always Dave, Camera Lady 😊

Here in New Zealand we don’t have any T’s and there are strict laws about getting any over here to keep, so I enjoy watching your Videos great as always Dave

How quick are they outside of their web? I know aussie funnel webs are laughably underwhelming in terms of dexterity.

These Japanese funnel webs 🕸, are different looking. Sydney funnel doesn't have the blood red fangs and it's botty is solid black. We have two different types of funnel webs the Sydney Funnel-web Spider (Atrax robustus) and the Southern Tree-dwelling Funnel-web Spider (Hadronyche cerberea). But they are a defensive spider Sydney's are but will stand their ground. Aspecially at mating time,when the males are out roaming looking for a girlfriend. Is when the most bites happen. How these Japanese funnel webs are behaving is exactly the same is how our funnel webs spiders behave.

I think the spinneretes on the funnel webbers are almost as manouverable as the human fingers, they make fascinating "kingdoms of life and death" depending on how you view such things...

Great vid and luv the different Ts n Spider's you have in your collection as well as all the other Creepy Crawlies, great work as always from Camera Lady ...

Super spider show ☺️

I don't exactly feel "bad" for the roaches, but I DO find myself thinking about how totally painful those fangs digging into my flesh would be if I were their size. Pretty sure I'd be hoping for a quick death.

Another great video, I'm not into entomology at all and don't dare getting close to spiders but this channel is fascinating for sure. One funny thing I'd like to share: There are some spiders, when I look at them, because of their fangs, they remind me of that "the thing" actor who's first name is Wilford.

Sorry I'm late, but slowly catching up! Aren't they looking fab Dave!.. The day you finally get an egg sack, I'll be ecstatic for you (and for me as I need some of their babies 😂😂). Its great to see your breeding projects from start to finish, I dont think people quite understand just how must work goes into it. I've not managed to check a fallax moult out either yet, mine builds a chamber within its lair to moult in, tried a couple of times to get them out, but i always end up destroying it. Well done guys, and thanks so much for dedicating so much of your time to share your knowledge xx

Spiders are dangerous in my opinion but how you manage them it makes me proud of people like yourselves

You left so many of the lids open at the same time and it made me so nervous! Having to watch one spider at a time is hard enough for me. I don't know how you can manage a dozen really aggressive ones at the same time. Mad respect for you bro 😎

Evolution has selected the “high irritability” trait in this species.

Beautiful spiders, i love their attitude!!!!

Stunning spiders in the beastie room...great camera work from camera lady 👍

18:08--you can see venom dripping off her fangs

Wow they do look quite intimidating when they are in threat posture dont they Still loving your content guys 😊👍 Editing they not that haha

Although I dislike them, i was constantly laughing at the angry twins in the first two tubs!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My fear would be one spider running into another enclosure and the bigger spider gets a meal

a great informational video PROFF with the update and guidance from the beastie room view to the hobby on these spiders. amazing the different temperament of each spider. some great footage CAMERA LADY. many thanks and take care guys---PS hopefully meet you guys at the BTS.

Great work camera lady but you need a mike I could not hear what you commented mid point that Dave replied to. As always super video thank you both.

I'm not kidding. That's one mean mama!😨 But... Isn't this the one, that somebody said, looked like Cruella de Vil?😄

Dave, Mrs Camera Lady! 😁👋🏼☺️

Wow Interesting! When will we see more pairings?

I know wha'ts going to be in my dreams/nightmares tonight

Thank you Dave.😨 These Funnel Webs spiders, do not really appeal to me, though I'm sure they are beautiful creatures amongst them all, the red fangs with those needle points had me in a sweat.🫣 But horses for courses, I am sure you have them well in control, would not like to be bitten by those fangs though. Nicely done video both you guys, and I'm learning new things all the time with your videos. Thanks😊

Funnel web spiders are pretty formidable looking with that posture and fangs. Definitely letting you know the FAFO level.

gorgeous creatures. How handlable are these and are they venomous?

Hi Dave just a suggestion if you could number the enclosure the spiders are in when you have more than one enclosure on your desk and a viewer has a question about that Sp or a particular spider of the same Sp they could quote the number in relation to there comment,I don't no if that would work or not,it's up you just an idea.

I love your vidiose

Ain't no clean water bowls in the wild (woods/nature).

I'm from Argentina and now that i remember, when i was a kid there were funnel web spiders that built their webs in holes in the wall. I used to touch its web with a stick and the spider attacked, i don't know if they were funnel webs or not but they looked exactly like the ones in the video, only one little difference their size was between 1 and 1,5 cm.
