Thank you for pointing out how easy it is to become complacent and make mistakes, instead of playing it off as "I meant to do that." Your honesty is a big reason I never miss a video.

I think it’s great that you admit that you make a mistake there, really shows that everyone will make errors and forget things once in a while, even people with as much experience and expertise as you! Shows new hobbyists things they may not have considered because it would just be a thing more experienced keepers wouldn’t even mention cuz to them, it’s common knowledge. And it shows older keepers that they aren’t infallible, so don’t go attacking newer keepers over things you think are obvious. We all make mistakes! Own up to them and learn from it is all!

I rehoused my GBB into her forever home last week (glass enclosure) and I was absolutely dreading it. She was an absolute sweet heart - no threat poses, no hair kicking. She started webbing immediately and she's eaten too......

Lol that sigh from your wife spoke so many unsaid words 😂😂😂😂

She is so pretty. I am home and healing. But it is hard. I am doing better at home.

I LOVE that your one female's name is Bea Arthur!! That's the best name after an incredible lady.

Can't get enough of these be e utiful spiders! 🕷🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🕷

She is absolutely beautiful!

Nice enclosure for the pumpkin patch. I enjoy your videos. 🤗

What a cool tarantula! I love her little black and orange abdomen.

Great timing! I have a baby that may be ready for his first rehousing! They're one of the smaller species, and cute as the dickens. I'm hoping for a longer-lived female, but either way, their name is Jack.

Great video. And thank you for adding the comment at the end about best practices (and acknowledging that you'd missed a step). I think those details are really important for viewers, especially those who are new to the critters in question, and far too few people own up to the little "oopsies" that happen to all of us. 😊

Wow, she is cute! I really hadn't thought about this genus, but she's very pretty!

Loving the recent showcasing of all your beautiful redheads, Tom! “Pumpkin Patch” might be one of the cutest common names ever and those little hearts on their booties are just the cherry on top. Once I have the room for more T’s, they’re high on my wish-list!!

Anther great rehousing video..good reminder not to get too comfortable when rehousing.

You are the best! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with everyone!

I always love Tom's videos sub from Taiwan 💪

Hello great video information and rehousing Tom yes you got lucky 😂😂

Soo happy rn. My pumpkin patch is about a year and a half and just hit a HUGE MOLT lastnight and still hasn't hooked out.. Im gonna call this one a female.

Hey Tom. Awesome timing! I just rehoused Venyvere, my little Pumpkin Patch a few weeks ago after I realized I made a rookie mistake and made her enclosure WAY too moist :/ She was due for a bigger home anyway so thankfully it worked out. She wasn't too bad during the rehouse but showed me she can boogie when I tried to put her water dish in and she did a lap around the enclosure. Keep up with the awesome videos!

Great video as always

Love the vids!

Always love your videos, Tom. Seems that you always teach me something new. Great video! Have a great day!

Great video and fantastic little spider ❤

Oh yes, I love H. formosus, so beautiful little spiders. And with D. pentaloris, they are both so colorful and famouse in the hobby. Love both, and both are hardy, so for beginners good. My "big" girl is 6 y now, but still skitish and fast. Your mistake in the video is something that happens, it's something that happens even after many years when rehouse a spider, I know it from my self 😅! Not so long ago, my psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus ended up on my shoulder, after bolting out of my catch cup, in the same way! 😉 They are spiders, not turtles, things like that happens, as long as you keep calm, everything is okay. I think the most important thing in this hobby is, learn to stay calm und never panik! Thanks for the video Tom! I wish you and your family a wonderful sunday and stay safe! Greetings Chris 🤘

Brilliant as usual Tom, always very straight forward videos which makes for very agreeable viewing, and a fantastic species of spider 🕷 featured.

Hey Tom big fan here from Australia! Love listening to the podcast at work! Keep up the solid work and thanks so much for all the information and insight to the hobby that you provide!

Woah ! That was very lucky indeed ! She could have easily sprinted all over you. That definitely showcased it speed. For me, it was a literal blur ! Beautiful T ! Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

Definitely a lovely wee “girl” Love to you both xx

I moved mine into a new container, and I included some of her old webbing to make it feel "safer". Turns out that was all the webbing she needed, and she hasn't webbed much else / I don't see her anymore. |D The crickets I put in are being eaten, so I'm just going to leave her be, but I haven't actually seen her in months. Ah well, as long as she's "happy". |D

Thanks for another great video Tom and for sharing your process lumps and all - a good reminder for all of us! I have to say that I needed to back up the video to see where she went too, I was sure from the angle she was shooting out into the sweater box… what a funny girl ending up exactly where she wanted to be anyway, and stirring up a pile of trouble in the process (glad she’s safe! 🕷💕) I picked up one of these guys as a sling a few years ago but around the 2" rehousing it unfortunately became one of a half dozen T’s I lost to a batch of contaminated substrate… one day I will get another and your videos make it very tempting(!!) I hope you’re able to find a male / some slings without too much trouble for your future projects - absolutely wonderful spider! :)

The great pumpkin haha yeeessss see Charlie brown wasn't looking for a pumpkin in the pumpkin patch he was looking for the pumpkin patch tarantula so he can scre Lucy to death for all the trouble she's caused him haha

Hi Tom and Billie (camera person extraordinaire) Hope you’re both doing well, and having a wonderful weekend so far. Great video Tom. The Pumpkin Patch are a gorgeous looking species. I know I sound like a broken record BUT they are beautifully marked, with that orange design on their abdomen 🥰 They move like greased lightning 😂 I love her new enclosure setup and as usual brilliant info on the species. Take care both, stay safe 😊🕷️😊😊

I have about 40 spiders (all different species and a mix of OW and NW) and I think my pumpkin patch is my least favorite of them all. I mean it’s a beautiful female that was one of the first few spiders I got and I raised it up from a 1/4” sling, but I NEVER see it. Every few months I lift up the corner of the cork bark hide and make sure it’s still alive! It also never really eats! Great video though, as always!

Thank youuuuuuuu

They are really amazing :) What baffles me is that those are not so commonly taken as one of the first tarantulas... I am also guilty in that matter, got mine not so lond ago. Edit: The pronounciation of "Klein" was on spot ;) Cheers from Zabrze Marc

Good job, one of my favorites. I have 2 juvies and 3 slings, can't wait to try to breed this species.

Tom I love these , they could be the first thing I ever try to breed . I currently have one of each a small and a large , The small is growing much faster than the large so far. I don't like to sex anything even though I have a digital microscope. Keep up the great work. Tom, you inspire me .

"Yeah I got some great footage of her, yeah". I know that tone. 😅

Great video Tom! You are such a helpful resource when learning about new species. Thanks a million my dude! I have never kept this species but I just ordered 3, (plus 17 more T's and 2 western black widows lol!) hopefully I get a female in the trio. 🤞

Hi Tom !! The vid stoped before I saw the lid. Is it the one covered in holes or the one that has some holes ?? I’ve been debating that idea. Great vid !! Get a few slings !! 😊 God Bless you Joyce, get a tarantula

Great video tom she is beautiful.ive never owned one and I don't know why I should start looking to own some of the smaller species.

re, transferring the webbing, i trialed it first with my gbb, and she settled in Immediately instead of cruising the top of the enclosure like previous rehouses. now i do it whenever i'm rehousing spiders that web up the enclosure.

I got both large and small forms last year. They're both slings that refuse to grow. 🎃

Hi Tom, my usual starting for me comment, Great video as always, so informative, didnt and still not had these, my non lack of love for the smaller T's plus, when i got into the hobby, alot of people having slings die suddenly, kinda stopped me. That was close, a few years ago i had Cyriopagopus doriae do the same, but kept going up my arm, difficult to sort out on your own too lol

This is next on my list. I only have twelve at this point so what's one more? IF I can find a sling. I haven't looked recently but I have seen them. NICE VIDEO! THANKS AGAIN!

I actually just got my pumpkin patch sling 2 weeks which I was so excited about I been trying to get a hold of one of these for past 5 months they are a beautiful little dwarf tarantula I also got some of the trinidad chevron , olive and the trinidad pink all cute dwarf tarantulas . So far mine hasn't been skittish or boldy mines been quit docile .

Gorgeous, love the common name! (Sorry Blue Front)❤

This one of these T's that when You see first a photo of them One thinks: Naaah, this is fake they can't be THIS pretty! But then reality hits ya. By the Way You spelled that k l e i n quite good 👍

My very first T was a pumpkin patch (klein), feisty little male.

So I have a pumpkin patch and it's still a sling. It has molted probably three times with me. But it might be four. It was regrowing three legs that it lost at the Pet shop. I suspect it has molted because of that more than normal. Was probably instar 3 when I got it. They weren't able to tell me whether I had a Klien or Gros. Anyways... I was trying to figure out what I had. I started asking people online, and I had quite a few people telling me that it depended on whether or not I had a male, or female. That the Gros were the females, and the Klein the males of the exact same species. I'm getting the idea over all though that this is just very bad Intel. I was hoping you could cover this in your next video about the pumpkin patch?

I’ve got 2 pumpkin patch large, but mine are set up as arboreal, as they love to climb, and have never burrowed.

@Tom Moran i will order soon Ornithoctonus aureotibialis as my first tarantula (as a sling) some tipps how often and what to feed for the sling? greetings from germany :)

This pumpkin patch is my first tarantula so I’m trying to find as much information as I can. I’m not sure but is there a specific way to introduce their food to them ?

Once you breed two tarantulas and they make a successful egg sack with so many babies, what do you with the babies? Do you sell all of them?

So does this mean that they’ve been formally described

I’ve had mine for over a year and had only molted at most 3 times. Leg span no bigger then a nickel.

How big will she get Tom she is beautiful

What do people do with all those babies ?

I bought a H so guerilla is it same husbandry

Me and my lady have munchkin patch slings right not. Look up Atlanta inverts

I think its amazing they have their colors all the way through life. Also, I know you joke about it... but a Simply sponsor would be awesome because not only are the bottles handy that stuff is DELICIOUS!

Hi Tom how are you doing

I don't know how males mate with these girls. My male matured around MAYBEEEE 2 inches.

Oh ya these lil stinkers will come right out no sweat I've had issues trying to breed mine as she has eaten every male I've acquired for her so I'm guessing she isn't the species I think she is

Oh shit bout went straight up ur sleeve lol that would been funny I'm sorry but oh dam that sure would've I had a dam Cyriopagopus sp.sumatran tiger recently go up my sleeve during a rehouse its like u lil stinker wtf
