Omothymus violaceopes, Singapore Blue pairing and egg sack removal 

He's backing away because he just met the love of his life. Freakin same.

I have always been terrified of spiders, but since I’ve started watching your videos I’m learning how incredible these complex creatures are, thank you!

these absolute madlads really filmed the mating process while the enclosure is wide open. The blue on the female looks absolutely stunning while also very terrifying. Huge respect to you two and keep on making these wonderful videos.

Great to have the sound of the tarantulas drumming. Also the colour difference is something else! That mating was rapid at the end.

Absolutely glued to the screen! Form beginning to end fun and educational!

As an O. Violaceopes owner, this is by far my favorite video!!!! Made me nervous, thought that male was dinner.

My four year old came up to me begging to watch Dave's little beastie this morning. These videos have been a fun and educational way for us to spend time together in the morning. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

I'm scared of spiders, even tiny ones but these videos are helping me overcome this, along with being educated. Thank you

Wow that taping is like a military drum roll ,awesome

That mating process was probably the coolest thing I've ever seen. The way the female strums her legs is so adorable I almost forget I have arachnophobia.

That was amazing! You are such an interesting person. I could watch a video a day of this channel

It never fails to amaze me how the Singapore Blue female goes nuts when paired its such a curious thing to me, its so fast. Ive watched many pairings on your site and the Indian Violet has always been my fave she is so chill and happy.

Always pleased to see the males make it out alive in these pairing videos, brave little guys! Love the channel

That was awesome how he went backwards and upside down like that! I do enjoy how precise you are with the explanations because that's the first time I saw that sloughing off piece! Very well done to you both!

The fact you’ve never been bitten is testament to the level of respect and care in handling that you give them. It also makes you an invaluable resource to people new to breeding - it’s awe inspiring, I can’t wait to see how they develop. Awesome camera work and explanations. Thanks Dave! 👍😉 and Camera-Woman! ❤️

Awesome video as always. I tried drumming on the bed when I got home from work to get my wife's attention for some "pairing", I am now sleeping on the couch.

You show extreme caution and care for your Tarantulas! I like watching your videos, they are very interesting and informative.

This has to be one of the best and most informative spider videos I’ve ever watched. Amazing. And who knew baby spiders would look so cute!

I was glued to the screen during that pairing, I never thought a spider video could be both so exciting and educational 👍

The live commentary on the breeding was very well done, both relaxing and intriguing. Watched it twice!

your wife is so precious!! haha i love that she is the OFFICIAL counter now

You sound like a professional sports commentator . Loved this ❣️

That was definitely the most amazing pairing I've ever seen and to hear the drumming was so cool. Thanks Dave and Camera lady for another great video can't wait for the rehousing.👍🕷🕸❤

I do believe this is the first time I have ever seen slings being removed from an egg-sac. I hope you have videos on their development! That will be very interesting to see.

First to post ^_^ Huge fan here from Price Utah in America i watch all of your videos and love the way you do them!!!! currently sitting @ 18 ts and i started in this hobby a year ago.

Wow! I was on the edge of my seat the whole pairing!. I love hearing the tapping, thank you for turning the volume up! The females legs are neat looking at the tips how they're bigger. That def was a quick insertion. I slowed it down and replayed it a couple times and still couldnt see the actual insertion, it was THAT fast! That male had some skills and was very smart! Haha! Great video as always. Thanks to you & your camera assistant for sharing. Take care!

One of my favourite pairing videos. I must have watched this one 10 times its fantastic footage!!

Dave that breeding video was amazing!! I’ve never seen anything like it before, that was simply amazing! Thank you for sharing with us!! Both the male and female are absolutely stunning. I love how different they are once the male matures.

Delivery of content is so educational! Fantastic videos!! Stay Calm Be Gentle And love your spiders! 🕸

I have always been terrified of spiders but this channel has really taught me a lot and eased my fears in some respects.

I’m not keen on spiders but I absolutely love your videos. This one has been my favorite! I love you commentary

Could you guys please make a video about the slings as they progress? Where you transfer them after they are too big for the egg incubation cup perhaps and tracking the progress of the growth. Cheers from North Carolina!

This is literally the most amazing video I've ever seen. Just got my first Tarantula a couple of weeks ago and I'm absolutely obsessed and in love. Thank you for making such amazing videos.

I love this video! She is so fluffy on her lower legs that she looks like she is wearing Ugg boots or leg warmers. Always makes smile!

Great vid Dave, those little guys look like mini face huggers.

i just love daves commentary. love his humor and beautiful spiders

Woe, what a difference fro.your old beastie room to the new one. She was massive and the male tiny, they really have to have alot of guts to mate. Glad he made it alive.

Yet another hypnotizing video. My congratulations to the mother. 🥰

Dang Dave!!!! That was a freaking fast pairing!!!! So awesome I forget how much I miss it when camera lady does her clean up and counting!! Can we throw a little more of those in the future videos?

this has been one of the most informative and interesting video on this topic that I have seen to date. thank you.

When she came out I nearly had a heart attack

Great to see you on Tarantula Collective’s site Dave! Another super vid btw

Awesome video. Beautiful spider! I think it is wonderful that you and your wife do this together. Congratulations on the eggs with legs!

amazing feature length video PROFF, another happy dayzzz to the beastie room. brilliant as usual camera lady. well done the 2 of you. thanks for sharing

A video from Dave as soon as i wake up, perfect!❤🖤❤🖤❤

Ah brilliant video Dave, fantastic pairing, stunning species, brilliant removal of the egg sac. And a magnificent job as usual by yourself and camera lady.

Thanks for showing the removal of the shell 🦘🇭🇲

Jackson OHIO, Scardy cat. This is my third pairing, stunning egg sack. and my second time seeing eggs with legs, but first time seeing them molt at the same time. I find it interesting and all of your spiders I see are beautiful. Thank you both for your video, I am learning so much. Take care

You’ve definitely helped me discover a whole new respect and love of spiders. Thanks for all you share! From Haven, Kansas USA

Love your videos, Mr. Dave! This it's one of my favorites, really educational and exciting. Completely fun to watch from start to end. Cheers!

Lol when you mentioned the male bouncing up and down to show his intentions, all I could think about was the Monty Python sketch with the Hungarian-English phrase book. "Do you want to come back to my place? BOUNCY BOUNCY!"

I just found your channel and I love it!! I love certain spiders, jumping and tarantula. Your accent and commentary make these videos 💯

Another great video Dave! I love that you includes the mating AND egg sack removal into the same video instead of separate ones.

Your narration was great. Lol I said good day to you sir… off back to bed now.

Yesss, this is Prof. Dr. Dave of Beasties! You nailed it again! Best wishes from GER!

i just found this channel, and i love it to bits, love the energy, the commitment, and of course the content. i've been fascinated by spiders ever since we used to catch them in the summer with my cousin, and seeing some "grown ups" doing the same but in a way larger scale brings me back to then. keep it up, this content is amazing!

By far the best pairing I've ever seen! I enjoyed all the commentary and the filming was spot on. What a lively species.

Fascinating, as always. Even had Mr A watching over my shoulder, just after you opened the egg sac.

another absolutely brilliant video Dave,glued to it from start to finish mate,i look forward to mondays and thursdays videos,more than any other youtubers! keep up the good work mate.:)

One of the most interesting breeding vids i ever saw Dave! Awesome quality and it was entertaining , also your narration during the mating proces was perfect! Subscribed last week, your T vids are no. 1 !

wow that was awesome, i have never seen this stage before. Your video's are out of this world, a thundering round of applause for you .........but....erm... when you have left the spider room of course.

Morning Dave great video all my spider are in mush top vivs and like you have not had any problems with it looking forward to seeing the slings grow up 👍🏻

It's my birthday today and I just got my 2 new neon leg sarawak! I'm about to finish the unboxing! This video was INSANE AND SO KOOL! THANKS AND CONGRATULATIONS

Another job well done. I love how you have every step in one video, it makes for a great story.

Your commentary Dave, really makes these videos absolutely awesome and addictive to watch. I've been binge watching since since recently finding your channel. Not only is it educational, but you really do a great job at giving your little beasties personalities. The female in this particular video I'd even go as far as saying is kind of adorable. It's all so fascinating. So happy I found your channel mate! Keep up the good work 👍.

Discovery channel or someone should pay you to narrate and explain spider pairings and other stuff. Your a lot better than the so called professionals

Can't wait for an update. They are so cute , those little pink aliens.

7:10 Although not everyone agrees that that screen/mesh lids are hazardous for tarantulas, I avoid them. While arboreals are better climbers, their tarsal claws can still get stuck in a fine mesh. (There are a few points in your video where the spiders' movements were jerky, as if they were having to pull their claws free.) My _Avicularia avicularia_ did seem to have trouble walking across the screen. Sometimes, she would pull her foot free and keep moving, but once she fell in the attempt. Fortunately, she landed in the water dish and was unharmed, but I took that for a warning and fixed it.

Another epic video Dave! Great watch!👌🏻🕷

FANTASTIC ! VERY INTERESTING AND WELL MADE . I WILL DEFINITELY BE WATCHING ALL YOUR POSTS FROM NOW ON . YOU GIVE DAVID ATTENBOROUGH A RUN FOR HIS MONEY !!!!!!!!

Another amazing vid Dave n Camera Lady you have the patience of a Saint counting all those lil facehuggers n well done Momma T ....

Best pairing video I have seen. Thank you for sharing!

Wow!! Absolutely riveting. Watched it three times. Thank you, thank you!

I watch many of your videos more than once. Truly love ❤️ your channel. Love the way Mrs. Beastie is always so calm and absolutely wonderful with the camera 📸. Love babies. And Mrs. Beastie's delicate touch. Thank you so very much for entertaining me always and especially when I'm not feeling well. Love and hugs always

I've been watching your videos for about 2 months and am now subscribed. I have serious arachnophobia, yet I find your channel very informative, interesting and enlightening. I've been allergic to all insect bites/stings all my life. I was never really afraid of spiders until being bitten, by a brown recluse, on my top lip; hence my extreme fear now. Thank you for your videos; I truly enjoy them!

Your videos are so fascinating! I started watching spider content in an attempt to reduce my arachnophobia, and it's definitely working. You make them all seem like beautiful and calm creatures, and recently I noticed that when I watch the videos, I'm actually staying calm myself. That wasn't always the case :)

So unbelievably great!! Thank you so much for posting this!

Congrats on the eggsack! ❤ Camera lady really has amazingly calm and steady hands 🙂 great video!

wish me luck Dave just started my Dubia colony that I learned from your video and have my first spider in its enclosure!! I'm so excited.

Thank you for a wonderful video Mr and Mrs Dave ❤️

Pairings always make me nervous and this was the craziest one I've ever seen. Awesome 👍😎

Looking lovely in lilac young Dave!

Even tho i didn't enter, I feel like i won FF3, because that's how i discovered your channel! Great video, as always & Mrs Beastie, camera-lady did great capturing the action for us!❤🖤❤🖤❤

This was an amazing experience. I absolutely love watching those tiny spiders. Congratulations to you both. Thank you.

Absolutely love your footage! It’s so interesting.

Speechless. Wow, your videos are just amazing

Would be great to see a video of the babies growing up and re-housing or next stage. :)

storytelling at its finest. We love it Dave xD

I jumped at your video cut from the paring until the next, the video jumped towards the screen 😂 thanks for the jump scare

Some excellent footage Dave!! Real excellent!!

Wow, congrats Dave!!!! This is amazing. Tyfs God bless you

So glad to have found your channel. I believe it is my new favorite.

Congratulations on the egg sac great pairing dave ,lovelly professional video as always ,,

Wow! She's magnificent! And she was so quick to be done with the whole thing considering how excited she was prior to that LOL

That was awesome Dave! I just met Julian from wigglies in Leighton buzzard, I had no idea you to were friends! I just got my first turantular, being a M. Balfouri from him and can’t wait to get more and up my collection and knowledge, love the vids btw 🕷

That was amazing, ive never seen spiders copulate before, the leg drumming was interesting. He was a bit lucky I think she had him by leg but he got away. Thanks Dave.

Great short course on spider "neonatal care". They're a worthy sight even at this age. I'm pleased you let us have a look.

Your videos are VERY well done and informative......You have a new subscriber in Los Angeles California...Thank You and please keep up the good work! ;-)

These are my favorite, you guys are a great team

Thank you very much for explaining in great detail.
