Thank you ^^

Thank you very much ^^

"I want this blue shiny one that hides in a trap door"

That's a great story. I wonder what that black spider was... are you keeping tarantulas now?

@@tarantuhalla Unfortunately I can't remember how that spider looked like besides the fact that it was small and black. Maybe some kind of small wolf spider. I got a vinegaroon last year (as it was my dream pet) and another one this year. I also have a jumping spider (had 2 but my other one passed last month), beetles, and a millipede (impulse buy). Tarantulas are cool but I didn't want one because I always see videos about them dying in various ways (bad molt, impaction, drowning, etc.), but recently, after watching videos from TarantulaKat and Tarantula Collective recommending them, I caved and got my first tarantula last month at an expo. I went for a G. pulchripes because I heard that they're the most docile species (excluding dwarves), that they're rarely defensive or kick hairs. Out of all the "beginner" terrestrial species, the Chaco has my favourite colour, as black&gold is one of my favourite colour combinations. I wanted one that would grow big for display purposes, but also docile enough that I could handle it a few times a year. I also wanted an older specimen so that I would have less molts to deal with, but the biggest ones the vendor was selling were only 3 DLS. My tarantula is most likely going to be my only T until she passes (unless I'm lucky enough to come across a female Chilean Flame Dwarf, I heard those are the absolutely sweetest that would willingly climb onto your hand), due to my fear of molting complications. I think I'm probably always going to be more of a vinegaroon person. I wanted a vinnie in the first place because I heard that they're very hardy and that they aren't venomous. They're rather slow when they're walking around on my hands, and the vinegar smell doesn't bother me much. My female pinched me during feeding, thinking my finger was a cricket, but it didn't hurt much at all. I also did some research and found no results about them dying from bad molts and impaction. They also stop molting once they've matured, so I think they're a lot hardier than Ts and prefer them. I love my tarantula but she sealed herself away the day after I got her and doesn't seem to want to come back out, so I have yet to really get to enjoy her much.

Thank you for that info for newcomers. I think it almost always starts with fear of the unknown, and then develops into a fascination. So what spiders are you getting next? Maybe an arboreal?

@tarantuhalla I'm still waiting for the terrariums yo be devilvered so I don't have them jet :( and the Brazilian black is not available at the moment, at least not as juvenile and raising a spiderling could be very challenging for a beginner. All I've talked so far recommended to start with a juvenile cause they are more robust. When I get my 8 legged friend I want to make sure I can give it the best possible care and a good home and life. I hope the terrarium is soon be delivered so I can order the brachypelma hamorri that is available in my region. Before I get more I have to learn a lot and get some experience. There are quite a lot of interesting ones like the cobalt blue or the theraphosa blondi / stirmi, the blue baboon and orange baboon, thd orange bitey thingy. But befor I thinking about to get one of those I want to get some experience with the docile, calm ones. As I said, I want the best for the animal and want it to have a good life. The main reason I shared my story was to show people that even someone who was afraid of spiders and found them disgusting can change his mind and notice how fascinating spiders can be when you give them a chance. Hope I will get my hamorii till the end of the month.

@@MADxHAWK That's the right spirit. Patience, starting small with a docile species. Fingers crossed and welcome to the hobby ^^

Overfeeding a tarantula is never good, but so far I only noticed that Acanthoscurria are more prone to being overfed... they seem to be hungry all the time. And I also noticed that they are more prone to action when hungry.

This is different to every species ;) There are a lot of care guides already, I just wanted to adress the stuff that is worrying a lot of parents ^^

Thank you ^^

I need to make a complete tarantula guide one day... that will be propably 40 mins long ^^

@@tarantuhalla you could do it in 2 parts but that would be awesome

@@Markthespiderguy386 Will do that... in the not so far future... for now there are rehousings and other plans ;)

Thank you very much. I tried my best to make somthing informative for parents... like a "in a nutshell" video. There should be propably more. As for a UK expo, I don't have so many days off from work anymore. But I will plan a visit to the UK for the next year. Who knows, I have some plans, but time will tell how this will go. Skål Marc

I didn't get into keeping tarantulas until I was 19 and still living at home. To butter up my mother to the idea I lbought a tarantula book by a Mr.Browny, and had her read it. It had a B.Smithi in all it's colorful glory on the cover. She read it and thought why not? Easy to keep, don't eat much, clean, quiet, harmless, etc..... I land up buying a B. Emilia Mexican red leg.Sweet temperament, but what a hair kicker!!!! lol

@@wendigos_eat_people7177 Great story

I also think they make great pets. They do not need such a commitment as vertibrates, and can give a lot of joy.

I'm already getting grey, so in like 300-400 years there will be signs of old age. I'm not immortal after all... Push-ups, sit-ups and plenty of juice.

@@tarantuhalla Happens to the best of us unfortunately
