It's exactly 12:04 am my time in the US on new years eve. Can't think of a better way to bring in the new year watching a Dave's little beasties video.

I managed to make my own rhyme based on the risk the male takes for mating. "If the male's too close when the female awakes," "A fateful fate, his life she takes." "With 2 huge fangs wielding such might," "The male may fall without a fight."

I think he gave up. She was not helping. I think he realized the only way to reach her was to become a sure lunch. After trying for so long, he said "wait a minute, what am I doing?!" And then got out of there. I think he touched her too soon and she didn't like that. I think she knew he was not skilled in this art and was "playing him for a snack instead." Until he got hip to it. Beautiful spiders! Both male and female in this breed.

I sympathise with these fellow counterparts, we have all been in this stage at one point in lifeeee!😂🤣😂💯

Beautiful spiders!!! I absolutely love the colors on these ❤ ...and they're fluffy! 😅

Always fascinating to see how different species seem to go about pairings differently. You must need the patience of a saint with these ones! Fingers crossed, you get a viable sac

thanks for giving the brachys some love!

They looked more as if they were practising the tango than trying to mate! But seriously stunning spiders. Happy New year to all!

I see what you mean about the substrate. Poor guy really struggled to get a grip, but that didn't stop him. Great pairing of a beautiful species. Good job from the male and brilliant video from dave and camera lady as usual! ❤💜xx

Hi Dave and camera lady!! Happy New Year!!! Beautiful spiders, looks like they have hearts ❤️ on their knees!!!

NEVER apologize to us, we appreciate any and all you n Camera Lady provide us. Much love, appreciation, and respect.. Wishing you a great and safe 2024 from Oklahoma, USA!!!

I love my flame knee, thanks for sharing Dave.

Happy New Year Dave and the mrs camera Lady

Aww, that little guy, struggling in the substrate...😢 But he is not a quitter.😊

All the best for 2024 Dave n Camera Lady and here's to more great vids ..

Beautiful ones they are 🤩 A Healthy and Pleasant 2024 to Everyone! 🙏🥳🤞 Seemed that he had no grip at all on that coco fiber...

Yeah, that's the best way to start a new year. Happy New years Dave and camera lady

Lovely spiders! Hope you get an egg sac. Fingers crossed for you. Happy New Year to you both! Looking forward to 2024 in the Beastie Room.

I've been waiting for this pairing for a long time! 😁

Very pretty spiders. One of my favorites. Hopefully he was able to get the job done and you can have some babies.

love the spider, beautiful flame red knee

All the best for 2024!! Happy New Year!

Great start to the new year, watching Dave, successful GBB feeding & best of all... no hangover lmao!

This is one species that apart from the abdomen and slightly thicker legs the male looks almost comparable to the female in size. Happy new years to all including all of Dave's little beasties 🎆🎉🕷

Hi Dave & Camera lady I hope u have a wonderful Xmas and all the best for 2024 cannot wait to see more of ya amazing content

Happy New Year Dave and Camera Lady! 😊

The first Video of 2024...and what a struggle! I think this didn't turn well. Maybe She would've grabbed Him at Her first rush, but He is a big and strong fellow. Fingers crossed for the second attempt🤞🍀

Happy New year Dave and camera Lady good luck in getting a decent sized sac from the B.Auratum

Another fantastic video, Dave and Camera Lady. I'm totally addicted to your videos now, always checking for the latest videos.

Beautiful tarantulas ❤ I love how the red markings look like elongated hearts 😊 Happy New Years to you and the camera Lady 😘

Happy new year to you both, I hope this year will be better! These two were like newlyweds, up and over the side that male worked his tiny butt off, he will need a cigar and a cup of tea to get his breath back. I did think she was going to eat him because his whole body was under her, if they don’t drop an egg sac I would be shocked especially as they were going at it again, many a tune played on an old fiddle! It is really great having you back! ❤

i'm watching this 06.10 in the UK happy new year everyone, great vid Dave

It look to me like he was successful in the end 🎉🎉 We shall see !! Thanks for a spectacular start to the new year !!! 😊 Watch this space, We won’t take our eye’s off of it !!

My favorite tarantula genus

Happy New Year Dave and Camera Lady!!!!

Happy holidays to you ! Hope 2024 is the year for Dave’s Beasties

Dave put some moss down before you put the guy in. It might help a lot. Still loved the action and they are beautiful spiders. Thank you very much Dave and camera lady.

Very nice spiders! The suspense was killing me! Happy Christmas and New Year's! Thank you! I tend to play hard to get as well. I understand her. 😂🕸️🕷️ (He was tired of her sh*t😂)

Happy knew year to the pair of you it’s lovely when you video a pairing it’s always exciting and when babies are around wow

Happy New Year Dave and Camera Lady! 🎉

Happy new years 🎉. I love any of the Mexican species of tarantulas they are all so beautiful I just got a sling flame knee and a sling red knee can't wait till they get bigget

I’m very happy that you and Camera Lady took some time to enjoy Christmas and all the festivities, the video can always come later. All the best for the New Year! (I’m going to try and comment on each video to help out!)

Happy New Year Dave!

Happy NEW Years DAVE an CAMERALADY from mid coast Maine ,2024 is going to be a great year

Ah brilliant Dave, love the Auratum, they're a beautiful species of spider 🕷, i actually have one it's a juvenile, anyway Dave i hope the pairing was successful, another fantastic job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

Happy New Year Dave, Dave’s wife, & BEASTIES!!! (From Portland, OR) 💜❤️🩷

Happy New year Dave and misses beastie, and the little beasties God bless you all 🎉

Happy new year to you and camera lady 🎉

I like your videos Dave and I hope you are having a good day

Happy new year Dave and camera Lady 🎉

I forgot to put you should have a small long handled paint brush handy so that way you can push him or her away if she starts to attack him cuz it's a small one you can actually get right into her fang spot and actually will stop her from doing the bike down I've seen people use it that way, when she starts to come forward after he pulls his legs off her thing you can actually pop paper's right in there and it makes them both go backwards which makes them seperate apart. I'm sure you probably knew that I just didn't notice a paintbrush handy right there ready to go so I figured I'd give you an idea 💡..

Happy New Year Dave & Camera Lady! 🎉 Wish you full success for 2024! And for this pairing 🙌 I think you're spot on about the female's initial charge. I believe she's testing if the male is reactive. Makes sense as an ambush predator; reactiveness makes the difference between catching a prey and missing it. 😅 Looking forward to yours making awesome videos & building up this long awaited 'spider house' in the yard! 😁 Cheers, Thomas

Beautiful spider

Happy new Year Dave and camera llady

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed.

Well, that was painfully entertaining... lol Poor little fella, I was hoping you'd put the paintbrush down behind his legs so he could find purchase. Glad you had a wonderful holiday, making merry, and happy New Year to you and the Mrs.!

Interesting video, Dave. Happy New Year to you and Camera Lady!

Happy New Year everyone!

Wow they are so pretty I really hope the 2nd time around was successful for you Happy new year to you and camera lady ✨️🍻 😊👍🏻

Happy New Year Dave and to wonderful camera lady lady! An idea for future pairings, how about placing a temporary platform into the enclosure before introducing the male for a good grip?

Hello great video information and pairing Dave happy new year 🎆

On that black background the logo of your KZfaq channel would look spectacular 😜👍🕷️

Very handsome Spider, wish you and Cameralady a happy new year 🍀🌟💫🕷️❣️🙋🏻‍♀️

Your pairing videos are amazing. It reminds me of pro wrestling sometimes lol

Happy new year to you and camera lady!

So hard to find your right lol, that and the smithi 😭

No new years kiss for this boy then 🤣 Love your videos ... Happy New Year to both Mr n Mrs Beastie room & all your gorgeous beastie family 🕷️🕷️❤

Happy new year Dave and camera lady

Hi Dave, great video as always! I’m just wondering if you’re going to SEAS this year. Happy new year!

Feliz año nuevo a Dave y señora con cámara 📸 Happy new year guys, from not so bonnie anymore Scotland 🎉 ✨ ❤🙏🏻✝️💙🇬🇧🕷 🕸 Hope this year 🙏 is much better for our Kingdom 🙏....... Sadly, our tolerance & kindness has consistently & continuously been trampled on 😢 Never before have we been in so much jeopardy in so many aspects and ways.... Here's to a safer new year...God help us ❤

Beautiful species. Crossing fingers here. Happy New Year from Portland, OR USA.

Great video Dave and camera lady!... And tripod. It looked like he kept getting his leg caught between her chelicerae and neither one seemed to care for it, then he would get it free, start trying again and get lodged in there. Hopefully in the end he was successful! Happy new year!

Happy New year Dave and Camera lady. Can we get another feeding video soon??? Thank you❤❤❤❤😊 let's hope the pairing was successful fingers crossed 🤞 😊

Happy New Year!🎉😊 My B. emilia just ate a shrimp last week. It's not easy to get her to eat ANYTHING, she is so slow and opinionated about food!😂🤦‍♂️ I am buying her some wax worms next week. Sometimes she likes live food, sometimes she doesn't! Pretty unpredictable creature.😄 I wanted to buy an auratum last year. Unfortunately, they only had hamorii, emilia, and boehmei.🤷‍♂️😊 So I got the emilia. She is a very chill little spider, and I can't wait until she gets her adult coloration. These critters are a study in patience.😄

8:20: I know a guy in Lis Angeles, who calls the epigastric furrow a spidussy!🤭 From the word "spider" and.. you know. 😄 Then another guy heard him say that word, and asked:" What is spaducy?"😂 Some of his tarantulas are quite expensive. A couple of them are just orange, but they are not OBTs. Absolutely gorgeous, but I can't remember the name of that species. Each of his spiders have a human name.😄

With the water bowl. Think about when you leave a cup of water next to the bed on a night stand for a day. Then you take a drink not thinking about it. It has a dusty taste. It probably likes fresh water cause it tastes better than day old or however long old water cause there's no top to keep dust out. It's just a thought that ran through my mind. If that makes sense. Love the videos. Watch them every time you make a video

Happy 2024 from 2023

Hello dave and camera lady hope you had a merry christmas and a awsome newyearseve. Dont mind it you missed a video i dont think to many People noticed it. Holidays are for everyone even youtubecreators. I love this video i learned so much for my own future paring projects. Kind regards Ferdi a.k.a omnius fs exotics.

Happy new year!!!

one of the rare occasions where the male is actually just as good looking as the female, maybe better.

That was like watching the old British style wrestling on a Saturday afternoon! 🤣

i love my flame knee awesome cant fault them

she didnt eat him! Good Girl!

🌟Happy New Year, dear Dave and Sweet Camera Lady!🌟 No, I didn't get any fum Christmas or New Years Eve celebration due to a bad influenza, and I'm still sick! My son became ill just before Little Christmas Eve and then me and later my husband. The influenza has attacked my voice box now too so I hardly can speak! Very 😍 beautiful spiders, so pretty coloration! 🕷♥️

Happy new year🎉 amazing to start the new year with a cup of coffee and a spider pairing 😁 Fingers crossed she and many more females are gravid and that they will produce a lot of good egg sacks in 2024 🤗

Gorgeous spiders!! Do only the females put out a pheromone that dictates their sex? I’m super anxious for an egg sack opening. 🙏 you had a successful pairing.

Happy New Year to you both. Lovely looking Brachy's and hopefully you'll hear the patter of tiny feet soon.

Since I couldn't edit that, I take it back, yes, both ofhis were under her, jamn away!

What a beautiful species, i absolutely live them, fingers crossed you get a sack. Im looking forward to see what you habe available at Taunton 😊

Happy holidays and happy new year Cheers
