Unboxing 3 Amazing Animals!! 

Hey, Ed and Emily! I just wanted to give you some advice as you’re new to tarantulas. Unlike what you may see in care guides they don’t have certain humidity percentages that they require like reptiles to breathe and molt. They molt using their internal humidity which is the water they drink. For most common beginner species, like Grace, it is generally best to always have a full water dish and to keep them on dry substrate instead of really damp substrate like what was shown in the video. Then you want to mist one corner of the enclosure, wait for that to dry out, then mist another corner. If you notice that your tarantula is hanging out around the moisture a lot then mist slightly more space. They also appreciate really deep substrate to dig in. Some people will tell you that handling is bad and not to do it because tarantulas can’t learn they aren’t in danger like reptiles so it’s very stressful. I personally choose not to handle my tarantulas at all just in case, but as long as your tarantula is eating, and molting fine then handling it is probably fine for that individual. As a side note, I would recommend a Green Bottle Blue tarantula for the facility. They web a TON and tend to stand out in the open almost all the time. They also have gorgeous colors. I think that it would be a huge hit there.

Awwwwwwwwwwww! My beautiful Eomer! I’m glad that you made it! I told Eowyn, but she really didn’t care at the moment because she was exploring! I still miss you very much! And I’m happy you made it safely and will be well taken care of! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also side note - I love his little black pink tongue!

It's funny, They said the tarantula was softer than a cat....and her family has a cat named Spidey.....

Cristine: collects nail peelies Emily: collects snake peelies

Emily: "You're going to hate me even more when I check you over for mites." Angry Cobra: *WUT*

Snake : I'm aNgRy HuMaN !!! Humans: _pet her_ "Awwww yeah you're angry cutie~" Snake: *visible confusion*

I love how the tarantula just climbs right out and was like YAASSSS

When you’re scared of spiders but watched this video and they name the spider the same name as you

i love how emily has a fear of spiders but handles hundreds of snakes every day

Emily: She’s not happy Ed: She is NOT happy Emily: *sticks hand in the bag*

As soon as grace came out of the tube i legit almost cried 😭 there is nothing cuter than a spider's careful little toe taps as they explore, what a perfect little babie ❤💕

The moment I saw Grace's front legs peeking out I decided I wanted a curly hair tarantula and that is now my ultimate goal.

That is amazing how Temari included hatch date, shed skins, etc. Such an amazing owner for the snake. It’s a shame that she couldn’t keep him. At least he has a good home now.

* When a snake will probably finish quarantine faster than the world. *

I just got my first snake, a (I was told Male) 4ish month old Snow Motley corn snake named Mercury after Freddie Mercury. I have watched your channel for years and overcome a slight fear of snakes. I have had Mercury for 3 weeks and it took me a couple weeks to completely stop being afraid of him, but I am finally holding him every day (other than 2 days after feed) without gloves and he hasn"_ tried to bite me once :) Thank you so much for showing me how beautiful snakes are. I want to get a Mexican Black King Snake next! They're so gorgeous. How do I get on your wait list? :) (I know its booked out a while)

Emily: Which should we open first? Ed: Tarantula Emily: Hognose it is! Ed: Wow, look at the.....packing peanuts

Ed: "Emily's not the *biggest* fan of tarantulas" Emily: Allows mega-spider to crawl on her Me: *screeches in arachnophobia*

Emily: I'm not that comfortable with spiders. Also Emily: lemme put this tarantula on my hands!

the way tarantulas walk makes them adorable to me. Their dainty little tiptoed stippy-steps won me over instantly.

Emily: How did you do in transit? Temari: *It’s obvious - NOT WELL*

I keep a few different species of tarantula's, including the curly haired. I would recommend at least 4-5 inches of substrate since they love to burrow. A water dish provides the perfect amount of humidity for them, so no need to spray the enclosure. Have fun with the new additions to your family!

Emily: I want wait to tell my sister we named a spider after her Me: There's a reaction video I want to see

I love how Emily doesn’t act like she knows everything while she’s really well educated on animal care she always admits when she’s wrong on someth8ng and that’s what I love abt her

Emily: A curly haired tarantula Box:Harmless REPTILE

“Well we are going to get this guy set up in quarantine” My mind- but we are in quarantine Edit- WAIT WHY SO MANY LIKES?!!! Ty 🥺

Me: Scared of Spiders Emily: Getting over her fear Me again: THANK GOODNESS I’M NOT ALONE 😅

Omg how is she able to handle these animals so calmly! I would have run away screaming.

For the bees in our neighborhood we actually put out a bowl with marbles in it and fill that with water, that way they can drink from it without falling in :)

Emily: "You're really going to hate me when I check you for mites" Tamari: *WUT* 😂😂

Emily: Your such a scary little cobra Hognose: Wait what? Are you really comparing me to those low life’s?!?!

Haha, the tables have turned! :) Normally Emily & Ed have to hold and work with the animals to socialize them, but now Grace has to "hold and work with" Emily & Ed to socialize *them* to being comfortable with spiders!

Emily: like a cat but softer Tyler rugge: little leg puppies

We can all say that we know what being a snake is like Because of our quarantine

Is lumpy still alive? He’s my favorite snake of yours and I haven’t seen him in a while

Fun fact: Tarantulas need their substrate packed down really frimly. They hate fluffy substrate because they feel vibrations through their feet through the substrate. Also, Tom Moran is a fantastic RU-vid resource for tarantula care ❤️ One of his females has been in his care over 30 years

Me when i see a small house spider: *visible fear* Emily with the tarantula:aww it's so cute

I love how you always accept to be corrected when you learn the info you had is wrong. So many people are SO reluctant to admit they're wrong, and they get nasty when they are corrected (no matter how nicely you tell them). But no, you're always "so I learned this was wrong, I'm sorry, this is the actual fact" and we learn with you :) that's why you make great educators.

You have no idea how much it killed me inside to watch the tarantula. I’m so terrified of larger spiders, but I will suffer through this because I love your channel so much 😩

That moment when you’re quarantining reptiles while in quarantine

Grace seems like such a lady, with her delicate steps and long hair 👸🏻

My MBK INSTANTLY chomped on my finger when I first got her, so as soon as Emily questioned if he would eat out of the box, I knew the answer

When you get a chocolate add before watching snake discovery. 😂

I used to have a sand snake and he LOVED mice but he was given to the owner before us because we had a berda dragon which was huge! I love your Videos! Keep up the good work and stay safe in quarintene!

Emily: you’re so scary... such a scary little cobra... Mean while: Emily strokes the snake on the head and doesn’t act like it😂

Emily and Ed! Thank you for showcasing tarantulas in a positive light! As a reptile and tarantula keeper, tarantulas often get a bad rap and I love how you guys are giving these wonderful creatures a spotlight too! I (as well as many others) also commented on the sponge issue and it makes me so happy to know that you read comments and corrected that advice so professionally! Keep up the great work!

I was ready to click off the vid on the tarantula part but oh my goodness she’s so sweet and so cute

Eomer’s eye looks so silly and comical, making him/her appear perpetually confused lol 😂

Emily: a bit scared of tarantulas. 5 seconds later: “AWWW she’s so cuteee!” *lets Grace crawl around her hands.

I bet ed bought something again :) tell ed to keep “surprise” buying reptiles, emily!

The Nicaraguan and Honduran “Curly Hair” tarantulas are actually the same species, just different localities. They’re also known as different “forms”. They are also the species known as Tlitlcoatl Albopilosum and its better to use their Latin names because many tarantulas’ common names are misleading or reference multiple different species!

Ed has the best laugh, and I love your baby voice with the tarantula.

"We're so scared of you" *of course u r. Is cober*

Me: I’m scared of tarantulas. Also me: omg she’s so adorable I want her! Edit: my most popular comment is about tarantulas! That’s nice. Another edit: 300 likes for a 300/10 tarantula.

Congratulations on your NEW tarantula and welcome to the tarantula hobby!

When I can I will actually try and get everything for a snake even a license Edit: ever since I've started watching you I've really wanted a snake

Onyx is literally such a beautiful snake, she’s one of my favorites by farrr 💕 Edit- I literally cannot wait for her to have some pretty babiieesss 😭😂

Oh my gosh!!! I LOVE the little words the snakes “say” 😂😂😂. I would’ve never thought of Tarantulas being in the IT business. 😂😂😂

My sister looked over my screen and saw the tarantula, she then screamed. But you see, when I saw the tarantula, all I said with this is; “awww”

OH MY GOD! Animal House is where I got my Plains Hognose Snake! Dan Thomas is amazing and I'll always stand by him. He has great feeders as well! You two seem so close yet so far! I live in Southeast Wisconsin :) Can't wait for your zoo to be done. I'll for sure be taking time off work and a few friends to go tour what is sure to be an incredible place.

Emily: “alright lets get this baby up in quarantine” Me: *you don’t say...*

8:33 that is literally the scariest thing I’ve ever seen I love snakes but I have horrible arachnophobia, I have nightmares about them a lot.

One of my favorite moments is when she wasn't to proud or egotistical and admitted that we (as a community) corrected her, and taught the snake goddess something new!

"after her quarantine" i'm just like...wow we have been in quarantine for 104 days...this is our 105....

I’m from Hawaii so we don’t have many “dangerous” spiders, but they still scare me. So when I saw the tarantula coming out of the container I was like “nope!”, but as I continued watching I thought that she was actually pretty cute. I’d probably still freak out if I held one irl, but Grace is definitely a cutie!❤️❤️❤️

Make sure you have plenty of substrate for your Tliltocatl (was Brachypelma) albopilosus (was albopilosum). Good ol' name changes..... lol. They love to dig and move dirt around. I find mine with it's fangs full of dirt pretty often. Have fun keeping the substrate out of the water dish 😁.

This is how many people love snake discovery but have a fear snakes just like me the reason why I like snake discovery is because they make snakes interesting I I I I

What an adorable tarantula she is!! I love how careful and deliberately she moves about, very cute and curious! I think it’s a really good omen she just came crawling right out docile as can be because regardless of how nice the species is, most of the tarantulas I’ve seen/met seemed either bolty or salty when they first arrived. Can’t wait to see more of her!!

I love you guys you influenced me to want a snake!!! Thank you so much love you all!

The fact that Emily actually learns from her mistakes and owns up to them, is so amazing. I've seen SO many people get offended when they are proven wrong, especially in hero care! Both Emily and Ed are people I look up to, and I'm glad I know my little brother watches you, too lol!

I keep coming back to this video just to watch the tarantula part. For some reason it's really satisfying to watch a fluffy spider crawl out of a jar. All her little legs look like a time lapse of a blooming plant.

5:00 "He's so eco friendly!" With the styrofoam box, yes, of course I do appreciate that he's doing better then he could have though

They are adorable and amazing. Eomer’s note is so adorable

I absolutely love tarantulas, over where I used to live there was an annual tarantula festival in October because they would all come out to breed during that time so you see them EVERYWHERE outside! It was super cool!

8:33 Wow that’s a very floof spider

I wish someday ed will be the one speaking in front, expalining everything. Even for just one vid. Hit the like button if u want it too....

Nobody: Me: gIvE mE mY sNake DiScovery

I love my tarantulas!! I have Honduran curlies. But I bring them to programs! Such a chill species!! So happy for you guys!! Love the snakes too obviously!

Grace is such a gorgeous tarantula. Love that she is more chill than half of Exotic Lair's collection.

wow i’m so early! i just wanted to tell you guys that you have taught me so much about reptiles (especially snakes) and now i’m thinking about getting my own! thank you guys so much for making such god and informative content💞

Emily: "You're gonna hate me even more when I check you for mites" Snake: "WUT?" LMAO

Thank you Eomer for making this video possible

Can’t wait for the care video! I really want a tarantula but I’m still working on convincing my mom ahah! But I managed to convince her on a snake so if I can do that I can do anything. For now I’m stocking up on all the info I can

Oh! Tarantulas are my second biggest fear and thanks to Exotics Lair I've almost overcame it but I will be happy if you guys made some tarantulas videos too! I hope you guys are good. Bye!

Your new curly hair is beautiful!! I'm always super excited to see others branch out to tarantulas, and a more well established channel like yours will absolutely help with the common misconceptions. She looks fantastic, seems very docile and i hope you enjoy keeping such a unique arachnid!

I’ve been studying all animals but especially exotic animals for 11 years I have a tarantula this video is awesome super educational and it is all correct information.

I like that they put the note on the top so they could warn you about the trying to eat fingers before you unpacked the snake rather than after!

I clicked so fast James Charles couldn't even say hi sisters

“Do you have a tude, do you have a tu- Oh your soooo pretty.

I’m an arachnophobe named Grace so I feel for your sister, but I love irony and that slightly twisted humor so I love her name. I love watching this video and your other spider videos to help me push myself

Girl you did so good with the tarantula! I loved my curly hair for his temperament and his molts! Good luck ❤

Hello! It’s almost one in the morning but I made it! How are you and Ed?

Came straight over from D&D

I love your videos so much! They are all so interesting and you have so much variation on your channel!

OMG Eomer is gorgeous! I especially love his scattered inverse freckles on his sides 😍

You always make my day when you post, it always make me super happy. Me and my mom loves you channel, because we love learning about animals. I also want to send you fan mail, but my parents say I can’t 🥺. Thanks for being one of the only youtubers that post a lot. I never get bored. Thanks for being a great influence. I would love it if you would respond, it would make me so happy 😁!!

I hope you guys see this, even though you’ve probably had this recommendation before!! When you finish your facility, you guys could do a digital tour for those who want to go but can’t afford the trip!! I just had the idea while watching the video and I wanted to share in the off chance you guys haven’t gotten this idea/suggestion yet, and in the off chance you see this!!

I love tarantulas!!! Glad you finally got one!!

I ordered a Columbian Red Tail boa from Animal house and they were very easy to work with. We had trouble with the shipping and Daniel fixed it right up. She came safe and sound. She was super friendly the second she was out of the box and had no mites or anything. I and glad that you did this video or I would have never gotten Athena. (Also you are the reason my mom lets me keep snakes) thank you

Third!?!? Wow that’s the second third of my life XD

Watching your channel got me back into keeping snakes (it's been years since I had them, but watching your video made me miss them and once my cat passed I bought snakes haha), and I'm also trying to get over my fear of spiders so I'm looking forward to watching you conquer your fears with Grace!
