I was looking for footage of the natural habitat for these spiders. Wanted inspiration to design a cool enclosure for my pet tarantula that's similar to where they live in the wild. You are the only person I could find showing such a thing. Thanks! I know this was filmed in the fall. Is it more green there in the spring and summer? Just wondering, though the dried grasses and scrubs look is cool too
Very nice video.. Thank you for showing us the G. rosea in the wild. it is my favorite species. I have two little slings of them. Thank you and please continue to bring us more videos. I subbed.
Ja, Grammostola rosea/ porteri keiner wollte sie haben. Jetzt kosten adulte Weibchen 120€ 😂😂😂😂🤦♂️ Habe meine Weibchen verpaart.....bin mal gespannt. Liebe Grüße Andy! Ach, und ein Video deiner Anlage wäre mal wieder schön....hat sich ja doch schon prächtig entwickelt 😂👍
This channel and the content is pure gold! I just found you guys tonight and I am highly impressed! Top notch stuff and I've learned a lot. You've changed my mind on a lot of previously held beliefs on how to keep tarantulas. Thanks for sharing.
I've had my Grammastola rosea RCF for around 8 years now and I'm going to change her habitat soon. Thank you for this video as it shows what their real natural habitat is like, which is grassy and arid as opposed to the setups you find at home which most seem to keep on moist coco fiber (inc myself; hence why I want to change it). I think a lot of people seem to think that SA = Rainforest
Hey Thanks for the Beautiful. Ts and the interesting aspect of where they make their home and mating and again how Beautiful they are.. Excellent narrative.
I love G roseas i have 3 💕 one is a boy but not mature yet and one is a girl and one is too small to know but one day I hope they will mate and make new spiders also its kindve weird they called the first tarantula genus Mygale bcus in Latin a mygale is a field mouse so hmm
Thanks a lot for your support! Yes indeed, a lot of time and money involved - but why not sharing this experience with anyone if I'm doing it anyway :)
I'll just stick my hand into this hole, no problem. LOL Another great video. And you got them to mate. I'm thinking Doctorate of Science, or some type of science degree in your background. This just gets better and better! Love it.
Thank you Meg! Well no, not really a Doctorate in anything :) Science yes, but not Biology - so all this spider knowledge I learned by myself and with some friends help
Great video once again, I'd love to see a picture of that G. rosea sling posted to the face book groups and wait for all the daft comments about it being over fed lol
How come you only have 20k subscribers, your content is more specific and more knowledge to learn about the natural habitat of ts. Thankyou for making this, this is beautiful.
I really love your content guys. It helps me to create natural looking enclosures for my tarantulas at home. Keep up the good work and greetings from germany 👌
Absolutely fantastic! It just keeps getting better 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻Keep up the great work . I’ve shared your videos with everyone I know in the hobby and also to people who might be interested. I hope your channel blows up huge , it definitely deserves it.
You guys gotta come to Australia! We've got arboreal tarantulas here somewhere, one guy found some but the collected spiders all matured into males so they're not really properly known to science
Thanks for sharing. Awesome stuff. I wish I could see more examples of Tarantulas in their natural habitats. Makes designing enclosures so much more enjoyable, and to look at.
It's so awesome what you get to do! I would sell my left kidney to travel the world and see tarantulas in their natural habitats! I enjoy your videos and always look forward to seeing more.. With over 900 species there's lots of potential opportunities ☺ I would be interested in seeing either the Psalmopoeus genus, or some of the Australian tarantulas!
Thank you Ryan, great to see such extensive comments, simply amazing! Of course there will be a lot of videos coming in the future, we will see where this journey will go :) Psalmopoeus could be covered soon, atleast in some ways maybe - Australia is nothing planned in the near future, but anything can happen
You can find them easily near my hometown, Paine - Chile. Mostly near "Angostura de Paine". Right between O'higgins Province and Región Metropolitana (Santiago) going south.
What about Grammostola sp. Maule,Grammostola sp conception,brunneis(spec. North) ,are they just another G.rosea locality or different species?Thank you.
They should kept seperately until a revision is done on these Chilenian Grammostola - only with huge amount of sampled specimens and DNA sequenzing like already done in the Aphonopelma Revision from 2016 by Hamilton. So yes, they are most likely seperate species, it is just hard to set the boundaries at the moment
Grammostola maule is another name for G.sp concepcion (here in Chile we call it G.sp south), then we have G.rosea and G.sp north. And finally G.porteri that is described but its a phantom species
Wow, pet trade is so mixed up.Is it true that Chile goverment have banned the Grammostolas exporting? If you know ,will you describe please each Grammosotla(Maule,rosea,porteri,sp north) from each parts of the Chile is reaching by geographic range? Sorry if I sound annoying,big Grammostola fan,but sometimes info is not enough.
no one is working extensively on the genus Grammostola as of right now to my knowledge. But there are a few projects getting initiated right now, so we will see what the future brings
Hope you guys one day do a collab with petko from the dark den. Your videos are awesome, keep up the great work. Also: Are you guys also visiting the Homoeomma sp Fire habitat in chile?
Sadly Petko does not answer our messages, probably we have to grow bigger first that he notices us :D Just spread the word about our channel in his videos commentsection, then he might respond soon! Yes, we will visit the Homoeomma sp. Fire habitat! ;-)
we have found dozens of Grammostola rosea laying directly underneath the big rocks, depth was about 10cm. Other than that we found burrows straight into the ground which were about 20-40cn deep
Very strange to see a nocturnal animals take a walk during the day. Usually in the animals photography of nocturnal animals or other animals are easier to see during the night because of the purine (for some reptile),the day, we take them and place them in situation for beautifull pictures or movies of nocturnal animals the pics and movie which are making during the day are usually prepare, animals catch during the night and place in situation for the pics. To see a grammostola walk during the day is very strange, even in terrarium you shouldn't see your tarantula during the day, just for the evening or the early morning. It's the opposite the mygale and tarantula storie (it's a mistake of english language) the real tarantula are the wolf spider. In the old time, in Europe, the big spider were been in the south of spain, france, italia, etc and the name tarantula come from the italian city name Tarente, for cure a bite the people were dancing the tarentelle, so in all the south of Europe the wolf wpider were and are calling tarantule, we make the difference between tarantule and mygale. The first big spider describe on the other continent was calling mygale because they didin't know there was so much species, it is the opposite, the frist mygale was name tarantula and after that they knew there was more species, the mygale name became clearly usefull and right, it's just an english mistake of language to keep the tarantula name instead of to change for mygale, in france there is mygale and tarantule, the différence is clear even scientificly mygalomorphae and aranoemorphae. The grammostola, brachypelma, cyriocosmus, aviculara etc... are mygale (mygalomorphae), the hogna, the lycosae are wolf spider and so tarentule (araneomorphae)
it is very normal to see adult male tarantulas walking during the day. have noticed that in different species and countries around the world. thanks for your info =]
@@birdspiders Lucky you, for breeders and arachnology specialists like Leetz or François Téssier, whom I meet in training, the meetings are fortuitous apart from certain male theraphosidae of the genus aviculara, this is their point of view. After my experience and that of my colleagues going regularly to the Amazon or Africa, you can hardly see the animals you want to see, or the locals have placed the animal in such a place to invite you to come or even a turtle, which would not usually be there. You've got the "shining" and I believe you but it's not so frequent for a lot of other passionnate. It is especially that the video really made me think of the situation of the animals to take their photo or filmed, it is not a bad thing it is just the technique that we use for the animal photo . You know that most of the photos and films on reptiles and arachnids are scenarios, because it is dark, there is not necessarily a good angle of view (animals do not pose), after the pics we release the animal.
