@slumlordracing8054 3 года назад

I wish i knew how much i would love this when i was young. I envy these scientists so much. Thanks for doing what you do.

@djTex1200 10 лет назад

Love it! I have a sub adult female here in the US. I had no idea they were protected by law in South Africa. Makes me wonder about all the wild caught Pterinochilus specimens sold in the hobby here.....

@djTex1200 10 лет назад

I wanted to add that I haven't observed any trapdoor behavior from my specimen.

@Tarantupedia 10 лет назад

Cody Cook Well maybe your setup is not allowing this. Try play around and create the habitat as you see in the video.

@ryanwalker4554 4 года назад

It’s because they are not wild caught here in the us. But actually captive bred

@efichatzigiannidis2188 10 лет назад

Great job guys. This is a very exciting discovery. Great job on the documentary. Reminds me of when we used to go spider hunting when I was a kid with my brother Taki Tsonis. I see he still searches for them in this video. I'm a little jealous I'm not there to join you :)

@martinvangarderen5608 10 лет назад

This is a really cool docu!! I want more of these quality stuff! =]

@freya7084 7 лет назад

I know it's really important to study the species but I feel really sorry for wild caught ones... I never but any WC spiders. I also feel very sad at how we prod and annoy them when inspecting :)

@arachnofan73 10 лет назад

Awesome vid! I have a juvenile. Never knew they made a trap door!

@HummingLantern27 9 лет назад

This makes me want to try and set up a trap door for my chordatus and murinus!

@bobbys8777 8 лет назад

+wildwestherp s What do you mean? Even in captivity people do not build trap doors for tarantulas. Let them do their own thing.

@HummingLantern27 8 лет назад

+Bobby s I'm saying giving them the proper substrate medium to do so (ie a mixture of sand, eco earth, and clay).

@bobbys8777 8 лет назад

wildwestherp s A trap door could be built out of any of those without mixing them, however that would be a good mixture. Just because you provide good substrate it's not going to encourage a non trap door building species to build a trap door. They may dig a nice burrow, but no trapdoor. What substrate do you have them on now anyways out of curiosity?

@HummingLantern27 8 лет назад

+Bobby s In captivity they don't typically burrow. Giving a proper medium combined with the lack of knowledge on certain locals, it is a possibility that they could burrow. For instance, Schismatothele inflata isn't supposed to make a trapdoor, but mine does. All my Ts (~60) are housed on Eco earth.

@goatlps 4 года назад

The title's pure clickbait. This spider was known elsewhere, it just hadn't been identified in South Africa for 100 years - it wasn't thought to be extinct for 100yrs.

@sherrybailey7985 4 года назад

It wasn't easy to convince my husband to have Ts but he gave up once he realized nothing he could do was going to change my mind. Now he loves them almost as much as I do. My grandson got me into it .the hard part was getting his parents into it. They are such wonderful pets anyone with a heart has to love them sooner or later . who could resist that darling little face looking up at you. My grandson has 5 and we have at least 70

@alricaneshama Год назад

So....Now what? Cause, it sure as hell ain't gonna be rainbows. To be poked, prodded, and have lights, and microscopes in your face? Yea, that's the life they signed up for. You could also just LEAVE THINGS ALONE!

@rajnbull 10 лет назад

Tarantupedia™ I enjoyed your videos. You guys are one of the few that has the backing for the cost to make these videos. I myself have been working on my issues with Arachnophobia. These videos help mainly because of the high definition I won't waste your time to tell you what ultimate fear is. This is my only downfall that I can see. I don't know if I'll ever be able to hold a tarantula but I do find it amazing people that can. I'm good with reading people's personalities and you need a specific personality to work with these creatures. I really do enjoy the colorful ones you guys have never knew spiders in such crazy colors.

@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke 10 лет назад

I just found this amazing video even though one of my favorite tarantula species is the P lugardi and I have a pair of sub-adults as pets. I really love baboon tarantulas, especially the lugardi since it does not get too large (I prefer smaller species) and is quite docile compared to its orange bitey cousin. My female actually made a trapdoor at the very corner of her glass enclosure and you can actually see her inside her burrow.

@gavinbensutherland508 2 года назад

Hello Sir, I found a very similar someone in Zimbabwe on the Botswana border when I was in school at Plumtree High school , I even found a snake that was said not to be in that area . Love your channel. When I first started noticing this silk burrows I put a straw down the hole a very strong tug and charge out the burrow and ever since I've been in love with them .

@nonavailable4000 5 лет назад

Your methods of looking for them and digging them out are very idioticly destructive and fatal to them and their potential egg sacs , just leave them alone , they don't need your ultra nosey human help , only help nature creatures need is for people to stop destroying nature /expanding into their territories .

@Guillaume33340 Год назад

I'm sorry as english is not my native mlanguage, but I don't understand everything... Theese tarantulas you've found are NOT Idiothele nigrofulva? I don't understand because it completely looks like I. nigrofulva. Pterinochilus lugardiu we find in the hobby absolutely don't look like this. I s there a paper or a study in a BTS journal or anywhere else to compare specoimens, spermatheca etc... of both species ? Thank you & keep the good work !

@Tarantupedia Год назад

No not Idiothele nigrofulva. What we found is Pterinochilus lugardi as Idiothele pluridentatum is now a synonym of P. lugardi 👍
