Poecilotheria metallica , Gooty Sapphire egg sac pull our second this year ! 

A very protective mother, beautifully colored. She did well. ❤️

Beautiful egg sac! It certainly does seem that the small temperature difference could have made a significant difference. It sure is worth trying to replicate that. I'm so glad this one was so good! Beautiful babies, beautiful mum! Wonderful video. As I watch various people working with their Ts, I keep hoping they watch your videos too.😁

Woo hoo ! That's much better than the last one. As you said, perhaps higher temperatures do play a role in getting females to produce a sac quicker, therefore resulting in a much healthier clutch in the end. Sweet ! Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

Oh this was such a nice sac! For being under weight the mother still looked so beautiful. I think all her weight went to those chubby little buggers. Those babies are so big. I can't wait till they molt out to real fuzzy mini Ts. Love how you figured out a possible reason for the recent, not so good, sacs. I know certain animals will not reproduce unless the temps are at a specific range, so it totally makes sense that it might play a role here in the Beastie Room as well. I was nervous after the last 2 sacs, but I am so happy this one was a success. Congrats to you and Camera Lady!!! Thanks for sharing your world and knowledge with us! 👶🏼🕷❤️

I'm so happy that this egg sack was much healthier 🙂

What a spectacular egg sac and flawless removal. You continue to set the standard for how we should approach the hobby, keep up the great work.

That was a great cluster of babies, give yourself that pat on the back you and camera lady your care of your Ts are spectacular love the video.👍🍺

Stunning colors. I do hope to add one of these beauties to my collection one day.

Congratulations on a huge success! I'm happy for you!

Congratulations 🎉

What a good mom, if only she knew you wanted to take care of them!

Love your show 😉😉😉

Wow Dave that's awesome!! very happy for you guys!! those little ones look great!

Beautiful! Congratulations, you two!

Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕🕷️ Hope you’re both doing well today. Aweee more wee babies 🕷️🕷️I’m glad that this egg sac was full, and heaving with viable nymphs! You got control of Mum nicely this time, so there wasn’t a repeat game of Tug of War 😅 Seems like you’re starting to “understand” the code for Pokies and temperatures Dave? I know you will endeavour to do whatever you can, to look after the future generations of your wee beasties. 😊 Another successful day for you and Camera Lady 💙💕🕷️ Looking forward to seeing your next episode! Take care and stay safe. Have a great week 💙💕🕷️😘xxx

I just ordered my first P. Metallica last night. I got a female with hopes of breeding her one day. These videos have not only been an inspiration but a helpful guide as well. I do have a question that may be a good video topic, and that is... What do you end up doing with all the slings? Or, more specifically, how do you go about selling them? Do you sell them to local pet shops? If so, how do you negotiate a price with the owner? It's just a curiosity I have. Thx and keep up the great work!

interesting that just a few degrees makes a big difference PROFF. could a heat source make a big deal for the pokie spiders to maintain a constant higher heat with the smaller enclosure. you have gained a great load of information this egg sack. great footage CAMERA LADY and another fine video to the collection. well done the BEASTIE ROOM. --take care guys ,many thanks

congrats! great yield from this one! did you record the pairings?

eggs with legs lol!

That's one stunning lady you have there Dave!

Wow, that was such a lovely egg sac, lots of little pokeys , how long does it take for a nymph to go from tiny to big and beautiful? My eldest son is not good with spiders, he asked me to show him one of the Pokeys and his face turned white. He is going to join the diplomatic service, he could end up in a country with tarantulas but he will refuse a country that has Pokeys, he is a true hero, running onto his bed when small spiders wanders into his bedroom screaming spider spider, my younger son has to grab a glass and rescue the poor tiny spider!

Awesome video as always Dave and Camera Lady(I would love to know your real name)! I love to watch your reactions when you open up a good egg sack Dave! LOL Its like a kid in a candy store! Grinning from ear to ear 😁😁😁! By the way, when I watch other you tubers who are also into Tarantulas and they talk about breeding and what they did wrong, or even into buying new slings I tell them to check out your channel!

My name is Melissa cobb.!! I love watching your channel. I have learned so much as my 12 year old son Travis has as well. He is very much into the Hobbie.!! As of now he has 5 trantula. 2 curly hair, Arizona blonde, pumpkin patch, a brazilian red and white. He so badly wants a vercicolor. I'm sorry I spelled miss correctly. Money is a little tight but hopefully I can get him one for Christmas . I have learned so much myself and really enjoy having these trantula and just watching the growth and how they change with every molt. Some grateful to have a channel like yours that educates and teaches us newbies how to raise healthy beautiful spider's. Thank you so much.!!!!!!!

Aww kinda breaks my heart seeing mom fight so much for her babies like that

Love it, the mum has stunning colouring, very pretty. Congratulations Dave and T, thank you so much for sharing.💝🎊💖🙏🌻💓🎈

Congrats David and Camera Lady. What a wonderful lively bunch of nymphs/eggs with legs. Much luck to the growing these on! Thank you so much for the video too. Take care❤️

Congratulations you look like a proud daddy, You can really see your loved your spiders🕷👀🕸💖🕷

Boy are you the best tarantula breeder!! And so gentle.😊 your a a sweetheart!

Dave thank you so very much for your knowledge and everything that you do my husband and I are taking notes and comparing from when you 1st started to now. And we've just started getting into the tarantula collecting and it's now an obsession for an addiction. I absolutely love them but I'm also learning more about the others true spiders that you carry and your scorpions personally. I'm not into scorpions or centipedes but I do really like the true spiders and then of course all of the tarantulas. And because of the way you handle and I mean handle as in transferring your species from one Enclosure T o another enclosure Safely and you don't bother the spider. It doesn't go crazy or you know it's? The. Relatively relaxed creatures and you know I understand there's that odd ball one that just decides. It's gonna crawl all over you like that 1 little spider. Are you even over your head and down your shirt and everything else? But now my husband and I have more Confidence in trying the old world spiders that are a little bit faster and a little bit naughtier. Maybe and then we do we want to go into the Metallica's and the pokey's? And some of those other older world species that we find interesting so thank you again so very much for what you do and i've been binging you For the last couple of weeks and we watch at least A couple of videos right when we go to bed so again thank you so much you make a world of difference

Hello great video information and update Dave

Congratulations to the Beastie Room.

These are my breeding nemesis, ill try some of your tips next time, great video bro

The adults look absolutely stunning ! Congrats on 'reaping' so many little ones.

Always a pleasure to someone doing something they truly love and doing it well. I would imagine the next step is to take one or more females you are sure have not yet produced any egg sacs, and put them up on the top shelf, that way you might quickly determine if the youth of the female or the temperature, post-pairing, is the culprit.

Yay! Baby Goots! People always say baby goats are cute but I think baby Goots are so much cuter! That's just splendid, Dave.

I stayed up hoping I would catch your upload! I wanted to tell you that I channeled my inner beastie yesterday and, using everything I’ve learned from you, rehouse several of my spiders! Including my Psalmopoeus irminia! Just matured male but HUGE! I may have held my breath but I did it! Again, thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge with us! P.S. Can’t wait to see those babies after a few molts!

Congratulations Dave & Camara Lady!!! just looked like a bag of gold when you opened the egg sack up. 🥇👌👍

Aww. I'm really happy for You ( and the little One's) that it's a Success. 👍🌈

Been thinking about those huntsman slings have you found anymore 💗 congratulations on your new babies gorgeous spider

Hello Dave and Camera Lady. What a lovely success! Cute little wigglers. You know Dave, with people, as our eggs get older, they have a lot less viability as well. Granted we don’t make any new eggs so by the time the are old they are really old. With that in mind I think you have a solid theory there. 😊 I am so happy for your success with this one. I love it when y’all are pleased. Your joy shines through. So, congratulations again to you both and to Mum. She needs some TLC in the form of a good meal I think. The husband and I have not been well so I am off to sleep. Thank you for the wonderful video. Have a great week!❤🤠💛

So this one (younger) had 73 out of 75 eggs. She had a slightly warmer Temp and a lot more dirt between her sack and the weed barrier. The older female had over 50+ out of over 100 eggs. She had slightly cooler Temp and has her egg sack right on top of the weed barrier. I still think that the older female needs a deeper dirt enclosure. Maybe because she's bigger, maybe because she likes to dig down. I think these Metallicas may just be a case by case. They may require a bit of individual customized care. We've seen how different two siblings can be.

Dave , this is why I love watching your shows. You're all about the science and figuring out how to make it right with these insects, and amphibians and spiders, and to be honest with you I used to have "Arachnophobia " But I'm so interested more on the science of it because of you. And it's so fascinating to me whoever thought I never even thought I would be interested in something like this until I came across your channel. And I know we exchange messages back and forth all the time I just want to say thank you and I believe you're you're cracking it the idea of the paring And how to make it more comfortable for the spiders to have babies. so keep going my man , can't wait to see the next video.keep going and I'm honored to know you ... And like you said; be kind and love your spiders 👍 Thank you Dave.

BRAVO DAVE!! I think you're definitely on to something there! The deference in temperature could be the key! I'm sure alot of keeper are struggling to breed their girls! Congrats! That sack was as close to perfect as you could ask! As endangered as this species is... the hobby needs as many as possible!🥰

Congrats Dave what a success!!! The babies are beautiful and vibrant looks like mom did an outstanding job and you guys did too! Great job camera lady the footage of the babies is great! Well happy times Dave keep us informed on their progress!!🎉🕷

One of my fav spiders, thanks guys

Wow! the Gooty has amazingly vivid colours, beautiful babies. Thank you very much Sir😊😁

Congratulations Dave, and your little beasties too!! I really hope that your observations concerning the temperature differences is the edge you need for further success!! That really was a great surprise to see such a healthy looking egg sack, I have been getting used to seeing alot of black eggs, or unfertilized ones, this one was a ripper. Thanks Dave and Camera Lady once again, you guys really do rock this genre of animal husbandry online.👍😃👍

Great to see a full egg sac for you. Is there a big dry and wet season change where these come from? Many animals base their breeding and lifecycles on seasonal changes (light, temp, rain/dry). Might be a trigger in getting them to make an egg sac.

I think too that iy has something to do with the heat. Here I have homesteaders and as it is always cold in my house, as I am always to warm. So inside hear it us always max 18 degrees Celsius. Or 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Yes not a good home for my spiders to live in 😂. So I never saw an eggsack in Mt home, but in the shed where it is much warmer even in winter. I have seen lots of eggsacks and slings. So yes heat does provide a better quality I think. I am looking to my home temperature and as the door is still open, it is 16 degrees Celsius or 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 😳 I am wearing a top... still to hot. It could have something to do with menopauze still... I would die in your spiderroom... not only from the spiders themselves... but way to warm. I am looking for a reptile that loves cold places. The only one I came up to is a tortoise 🐢 so no spiders, insects or reptiles survive in my house. And I see lots of people selling their whole setups. As electricity is very expensive now... so good luck with your babies...

What a beautiful mama spider! And the babies are so cute. All the nymphs remind me of garbanzo beans with legs 😂

It's all a learning experience, another amazing job guys 👍

Morning Dave & Camera lady wot a colourful spider she as an amazing colour too and an excellent video as always

Great success. Maybe your second female is just stronger genetically?

Spot on timing this time Dave great vid just shows even Ts have their own lil quirks ...

I love how you can already see the markings developing on thier abdomen.

Maestro Dave!

Hey Dave! I watch all of your videos and love them! You have not only peaked my interest in spiders but have helped me a little with my fear of them (I'm still pretty terrified of them). I can't currently afford proper housing and a spider itself, but im strongly thinking about saving up for one in the near future. Thanks for taking the time to post your content, and I hope all is well with you and yours! -- Dustin from the U.S.

That's a wonderful egg sack!!!

Successful surprise slings 😊 Blessings to you both .

Congratulations Dave that's a fantastic result

Congratulations Dave! These aren’t ‘flukes’ - there’s 99% preparation, love, and dedication, and 1% luck from Mamma Nature - the rest we learn from you, your amazing passion for the hobby, and your great channel - you promised some great projects for this year, and overall I think you’ve done fantastic - but I learned all I know from *you* …….so maybe I’m slightly biased, and clueless. 🤔😂 I’m recovering from pneumonia and triple lung abscess so I’ve not been here for several weeks - handy tip: Don’t take your health for granted; especially when you’re over 50 thinking you’re still 35! We *ALL* get sick - I’d give birth to a Panda through an eye socket before going through 3 weeks with a chest drain in again. Nuff bout my woes lol, old soldier, whinge whinge whinge…….. ❤

So it’s 5 am here in the US and what am I doing? Watching Dave open a egg sac, I couldn’t think a better thing to do, absolutely awesome video again. I really like how you brought the sac up to the cup, I think it was a lot easier for you. You really got me thinking about pairing tarantulas, I’m soaking up all the knowledge I can from you ! Thanks again for all you do and sharing your great videos.

Such beautiful babies!👋😊❤🕷🥰👍 Have a wonderful Monday and rest of the week dear David and Sweet Camera Lady!👋😉👍

She did NOT want to give up that sac, and no wonder. Lovely clutch of babies there.

Congratulations so many babies Can you please please try and do a couple of progress videos for us I dont think you have done one yet Ive been watching you since the start and I love your content never miss a video in my opinion the best tarantula channel on RU-vid 😊👍

Congrats your a father… 🎉😂😂 awesome as always sterling job from camera lady (has she had that rise yet btw?) The colours of mum are amazing…

For breeding have you thought of using a large, upright breeding tank, just for the Metallica's and cohabitating then for 2 or more days. It should have enough room and hides they can separate from each other. Also maybe think breeding them every other year and have at least 1 pair breeding a year. Some potential ideas. Good luck!

So cute 😍 nothing better than starting your day seeing ewl 😊. I had a thought about the difference in sacks maybe it could be to do with the bigger viv ? The 30x45 seemed to be very dry everything had died but the plant in the smaller viv was still alive maybe the humidity played a part ? I had read that pokies like humidity to drop a sack so maybe as the enclosure dried out so did the sack. Just a thought n not a breeder at all so no idea if it would make that much difference or not, but great vid as always and grats on the ewl , Dave, Camera Lady 😊

Sounds like maybe you learned another piece of the pokie puzzle.

That has started my week off the best way possible. Dave, I do believe you were a little "emotional" shortly after seeing all those nymphs... ♥

nice , thats a real prize

Fantastic egg sac 😊🥰

I’m new to the channel. She is beautiful and what a lovely success story.

Excellent.!! 👍👍

Well done dave 👏 👍

Here in the states, the contents of that egg sack would pay my property taxes for two years l😅😅. Hopefully with my six metallicas (one sub adult, the rest about 2”), I’ll end up with a least one female (hopefully the sub adult just because of age) and one male. Haven’t gotten a good enough molt from the older one to tell gender and can’t get a definitive answer from online using photos. Half say they think it’s a male, other half female 🤔

Let's hell yeah

great video

That spider is the most beautiful one yet! Hopefully all the little ones will grow up exactly the same (females at least!)

Yes, Speaking strictly from logic your theories of temperature and gestation period seem to be viable ideas. I think you have got it figured.. please keep us posted on the results of your theories.. I truly enjoy your video's and make sure you give my thanks the "the camera lady" She is a great companion.. and not to bad with that camera either.. Carry on..

Great video Dave & Camera Lady!! I've learnt a lot. Congrats on the successful egg sack atb!!

At around 13:19 I’m sure a small spider appears clinging to the light bar right side of the screen (your left) over the middle shelf. Just above the round pot. May be a pholcus but I don’t think so? Baby huntsman?

Excellent job. what a banging success! To many more!

A better egg sac dave, they are gorgeous.and o agree all my pokies are in 20x20x30,and ate doing very well.

Great news Dave, and you should definitely test your pokie theory regarding temperatures for the females 👍

Ah brilliant Dave, very successful egg sac, 73 is fantastic Dave, i think it's a very good point you made Dave regarding the temperature, it will be very interesting to see how the other ones fair out, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

Hi 👋🏻 Dave, have you ever kept jumping spiders?

You should always tempt the females with food so that they release the egg sacs and/or feed them if they did a great job

Learning every day. Even with your vast experience 👍 great to see

Great video dave you got a good lott from that egg sack

Dang! I want one of them babies! Gooty is beautiful.

Great job congrats!

That was one good mom she had a good egg sac and protected them well. I believe you are on to something there about the temperature. Keep us informed about that if the higher Temps work out better. Well done. Be blessed.

congratulationssss!!!!!!! absolutely adorable teeny babies 😍😍😍 well done Mr and Mrs Dave 💓💓💓

Congratulations on the successful egg sac.

Wow awesome stuff as always Dave

Congratulations Dave! Totally love the Metallicas!

Good yield. You seem to be figuring it out.

I'm trying to be enthusiastic enough that Mr A starts to appreciate Ts, but at the same time reassure him I'll don't want to keep one 🙂🙄 He did have a peek at this lovely pokie girl.

Congrats Dave! Deserved proof of good Care. Such beautiful Babys. And yes. Seems they like it warm. Worth a Try for sure. May it be that this let to the slightly neglected looking, Mold infected one you fight big Mama for? Mold likes damp chill Surroundings more to develope successfully. Maybe a further Reason, why they like it warmer when they Breed.?. Love to learn more soon. Your Work is very Valuable.
