Top 5 MUST HAVE Tarantulas! Beginner friendly list 

I seriously thought you said; "I think I never did a topless video, ever"

"The one and lonely" you're the best, Petko.

"orange with black,really good combination" I cannot agree more...

It would be really cool if you did a part two of this where you show the taranulas that are the most difficult to handle. I‘m pretty new to your channel, so sorry if you already have done a video like that. Greetings from Germany 😊👌

I thought I hated spiders, especially tarantulas. Then I saw that heart bum. And I'm smitten.

1:01 Mexican redknee (Brachypelma hamorii) 4:26 Antilles pinktoe (Caribena versicolor) 7:20 Trinidad dwarf (Cyriocosmus elegans) 9:36 Venezuelan sun tiger (Psalmopoeus irminia) 11:42 Greenbottle blue (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens)

Please don't ever stop uploading videos. I feel your videos really help educate people. On how amazing these creatures are brotha 👍👍

I wish I had a top 5, I'm just a pleb who watches these videos

No Arizona Blonde? Everyone recommends them as one of the best beginner species

1. aphonopelma chalcodes 2. grammostola pulchripes 3. grammostola pulchra 4. chromatopelma cyaneopubescens 5. lasiodora parahybana (no specific order)

1 A chalcodes 2 I hirsutum 3 G pulchripes 4 G pulchra 5 P Cambridgei

Your videos are getting better and better, especially the presentation. Always interesting and informative!

Been waiting for a top five ,great vid

Top 5 for me (even thou my mom won’t let me have one) 1. B. Hamorri 2. A. Chalcodes 3. C. Versicolor 4. A. Geniculata 5. B. Albopilosum

I'm going to get my first tarantula this month, and it's going to be a Lasiodora klugi

I just got a Brachypelma hamorii sling and I am soooo excited!! Your videos have prepared me a lot and I feel so much more confident on caring it (of course every beginner is a little nervous). I can't wait to watch my slings growth, heard they are slow growers but that's what makes it more exciting to see how it looks and what type of personality it gets. I don't plan on handling it very often (even if at all) but that's honestly not my main focus, I'm here to admire it like you do with your tarantulas :-) KEEP UP THE WORK THESE VIDEOS ARE AMAZING!!!!

I love you Petko. I like how you make the information interesting. And I actually am wanting to know more and you inspire enthusiasm in this type of format. The whole channel is so close to the subject matter we seldom hear from in informative expression like this. Just going back and looking at your old videos. Thank you for this!

Grammostola pulchra Grammostola grossa Grammostola actaeon Grammostola iheringi Grammostola porteri

OBT is the most friendly. lol

Wow! Awesome Tarantulas and stunning vivariums! Maintaining those live plants in the enclosures in itself is a full time job! Awesome collection!

Been waiting for a top 5 list 👌

Did anyone else think he said “my first topLESS video” I was looking at the screen like “whoa there Petko That’s alittle more that what RU-vid’s ready for”

Just starting watching & two thumbs up man 👍👍

You get so big now man...I started following u 1 or 2 years ago and you still have a great content :) Keep up the good work :)

I've been watching your channel for around 70 hours since I've found it!!! And it's seriously made me want to get a T. I'm so glad I found this video and channel so educational.

1. A. Chalcodes 2. A. Chalcodes 3. A. Chalcodes 4. A. Chalcodes 5. All I have is an A. Chalcodes

They're all so sweet! I'm currently researching all that I can, because I plan to have a tarantula once I'm done school and have a stable job and housing. I volunteer with a small local insect & arachnid zoo, and have done community outreach at my college with their resident tarantula, a chilean rose hair named Rosie. While rose hairs will always have a place in my heart because of her (she's the sweetest!) I'm very interested in the C. versicolor as well! I'm going to end up with a ludicrous amount of tarantulas someday, I can already tell!

Belated congratulations for 300k man! Keep going 👊🏼

I'm waiting a looooooong time for this. Thank you buddy

The dwarf tarantula s are v cute💀

1.Grammostola rosea 2. Lasiodora parahybana 3. Brachypelma albopilosum 4. Brachypelma vagans 5. Accanthoscurria geniculata Every one should have this doesn t matter if they are females , slings or males

I loved the 2nd one and 3rd one you showed. OmG so cute 💛 Today, I am getting my first tarantula, a zebra knee. I'm so excited ✨

Totally late to the game but I love your videos watch them every night before I go to sleep, beautiful spooders 😍

I have a Grammostola Pulchripes (Chaco Golden Knee), and she is so sweet! She adventures out of her hide often, and has never flicked hairs! She is my only tarantula, but if you want a friendly one, G. Pulchripes I think is the way to go!

I really want a Caribena versicolor as my first.

thank you for sharing! Gonna get my first turantula very soon, love your vids!!

Always awesome videos.

I'm still trying to convince my arachnophobia wife 5 years later, we need a pet Tarantula. Maybe one day, in the mean time i'll keep watching your awesome content.

Not sure about my top five, as I only have one for now. And, it's on your top 5! Bought my very first tarantula a week ago, a little electric blue (for now) Caribena Versicolor. I know it won't be the only one I buy, so who knows what my list will end up being.

I loved guessing which spiders by the enclosures

Awesome videos Marko! I picked up a brachypelma albopilosum juvenile yesterday. It is my first tarantula. I also have b. Vagans, b. Hamorii, b. Sabulosum and a grammostola pulchra slings coming next week! Your videos have helped me so much in my choices. Thank you for everything!

Only ever had one Tarantula, Selenocosmia crassipes also known as Queensland whistling spider. She was best ever, super shy but always hear it whistle/barking at night super cool spider. they live upto 30 years crazy right!

Best spiders for beginners: 2: Australian Funnel Web 1: Brazilian Wandering Spider

B. Boehmei

Thanks for the content! Keep it coming.

Hi Petko! Im early for your video again LOL. I just bought my first spooder last week and I blame you for getting me into this addictive hobby. Hahaha I will always support you Petko. From the Philippines :)

1. OBT 2. OBT 3 OBT 4 OBT 5 Grammostola Rosea

Where did u buy the dwarf tarantula?!? I want some 😂😂 Its CUTE😍

Right now I have a Brachypelma klaasi and a Brachypelma albopilosum. I started taking care of tarantulas because of your videos! Thank you for the content you put out!

Awesome to see the GBB at number 1, been looking into getting one for my first tarantula so this is all the reassurance I need to do it

Thought he said it was gonna be a "topless" video... I'm a little disappointed 🙁

Noice😂

I've been terribly afraid of spiders, after watching these videos I even picked up a spider yesterday in the house and let him go! That's a big step from freaking out and smooching them! . My boyfriend found your channel and has now fallen in love with tarantulas! He's still terrified of them but thinks they're beautiful creatures. I am sad to say... I too am now interested in spiders and other little critters! We watch your videos all the time now and hope to be able to even meet you someday. My bf always says you seem like a great guy and how he'd love to be your friend xD Thank you for spreading your knowledge with us and showing off your beautiful little beasts!

Planning on finally getting one this month haven’t made up my mind but you’re video has helped !

My first tarantula is a juvenile acanthoscurria geniculata, my second a brachypelma hamorii sling. And only get these because of your videos! ❤️

I definitely agree with you in handling/rehousing the p.irminia. If you’re not careful, they sometimes bolt out as soon as you open their enclosure (especially the slings). They can also jump which adds up to the difficulty. I remember mine once bolted out and jumped straight off the table. Anyway, keep it up! I really appreciate your videos. I learned a lot from ever since I started watching from your channel.

Those colors on your GBB are stunning!!!

Great video as per usual 🙂

my first tarantula is a grammastola pulchra and i love her so much! incredibly gentle and has good feeding response. i haven't handled her often, but when i do, she's incredibly friendly, has never kicked hairs at me and of course has not bitten me lol. not even a threat posture, most she's done is bolt just a little from time to time. she was expensive though, at 150 dollars and worried me at first because she was in pre-molt when i bought her and didn't eat until after her first molt with me. gave me quite a scare as a new tarantula owner! i plan on getting a trinidad dwarf some day in the future along with other breeds, as they seem very easy and fun (for me at least) to take care of!

First time viewer and on a catch up with your videos, without seeing your top 5 yet I'd have to say the Mexican red knee would be my first choice. Absolutely stunning T with a very friendly temperament.

I am a complete arachnophobe but have been watching your channel for a while after a recommendation from RU-vid (how that happened I will never know!). I love your energy, knowledge and passion for your subject. I just want you to know that I just got so excited as I was trying to guess what your number 1 was and was right. I shocked myself as 3 months ago I was dreading UK ‘spider’ season and now I’m guessing tarantula names, answering quiz questions and get excited when a new notification comes up. So Thanks - I think 🕷

I love these videos. Im glad I stumbled into this channel I used to be scared of spiders and now I want one so bad but my mom isn't fan of the idea of owning one while im living with her. but soon I will have one and a snake :D

Petko!! You should do another top list video!! Ur videos make me want so many more, I just can never decide on which ones haha!

Dayum, you really got me interested in the Cyanopubescens there, buddy. Once the weather warms up again (in like 6 months, thank you Finnish climate) I'll be making a sizeable order from Poland!

Awesome video dude. :)

I have 3 of those 5 :) Awesome videos Petko 👍🏻

I just bought a red knee taratula for my first tarantula and honestly this channel helps me alot

Sorry I’m no good at Latin names. But I have 3 of your top 5 buddy. The Mexican red knee, Venezuelan sun tiger, and of course the GBB. Great video mate! And just wanted to say it was amazing meeting you at the BTS!! You won’t remember me lol but I’ll never forget it! Look forward to meeting you again.

I don’t entirely plan to get any tarantulas any time soon (though after watching this, that might change) but I do plan on getting a few scorpions. I used to be scared of them but this channel has shown me how cool and fascinating they are. I’m going to be getting an Asian forest scorpion sometime after Christmas!😁 as always, amazing video man, love the channel and keep up the amazing work!

GBB is my personal favorite too! Great vids my friend.

Centipede keeper here. Loved your videos,i want to keep tarantulas to. Thanks to this video

The little Spinnerets on the dwarf Tarantula are so cute!

Those C. Elegans....SOOO CUTE. Also, GREAT choice for number 1! I have one that's hopefully coming soon!

Love the video Petco

Here before the 50k views!!! Greeting from the phillipines!

Great video man. I just got a gbb as my second T. Definitely a cool spider.

Dude you are soooooo AWESOME... I seriously hope I could meet you soon. You are the reason I have tarantula's. I know I have told you that but seriously you are awesome

I've been watching a lot of your videos and you would be surprised how similar orchid care and spider care are (I might even get some spiders in the future) great fun watching you and your spiders

If u have any free beginner tarantula's I would absolutely love one. You and the Dark Den single handedly made me begin to love them. I always loved reptiles but now im into tarantula as well

Great video petko and good choices

Dude because of you I own a gbb thanks man . It's my first and only one so far

Love your videos! Your the best! You inspired ms to get a chromatopelma cyaneopubescens that ive had for a few months and i love it. I want to get a poeciltheria regalis in the future. Keep up the good work👍
