Nobody handles their tarantulas as calmly as you. You make every T look like a beginner T in your videos. There is a lot to learn from watching you do your thing.

Beautiful OBT, Dave for President

The way she tucked her leg when you first nudged her was adorable. Spectacular rehouse

You are the Bob Ross of spiders you use a paint brush, have a calming voice,loves nature and gentle,lol

I have never seen an OBT moved without threat posture. That right there was experience and practice!! So impressive.

This is exactly what i have been saying, OBT's have a reputations as mean,agressive etc.. even they can be really nice spiders. They just dont handle stress very well. But definetly they arent agressive. I just love these videos❤ Allways high respect towards spiders and great info! 😊

I’m beginning to think the reason on don’t sleep at night is so I can see these videos faster 😂

She is stunning 😍 feel sorry for obt's they get such a bad rap because of some stupid ppl poking and upsetting them before they make their vids so they get a nasty reaction for the video and then get more views because the poor spider freaked out , such a shame because as you've just proven if given respect and treated right they aren't as bad as ppl make them out to be. Great video as always Dave, Camera Lady she's perfect 🥰

After watching this video I finally plucked up the courage and rehoused my obt. It went better than I thought thanks to you Mr Daves beasties 🕷

Rehoused my obt just now. Gone with the extra humidity. And a very similar corkbark setup, time will tell. Thought it was gonna be a nice calm rehouse. Until i was grabbing a photo and she'd bolted up and out and across the carpet haha. 3rd OBT, my first crazy one lol

You said it was a big spider. Dave, It's a sodding monster!

Love the calm way you allways handle the spiders..

A true master of your craft, calmest OBT vid I've ever seen! 😄

You are so methodical and prepared. I don't even watch other spider videos because the keepers think they have to act like clowns and then they play with the spiders like they are toys. We are keepers, not children acting with abandon with living things. Kudos to you, sir.

Very good video, as always! Anyway, the reason why they can climb glass it's not the claws. The claws can't do anything on the glass. Their legs have scopulae, very very thin hair having a lot of surface. This surface allows to adhere to the glass thanks to the Van der Waals forces at molecular level

MORE DAVEY AND THE SHPOIDAHS! sidenote : CameraLady being muffled and sounding like one of the adults from the old Peanuts cartoons is also very cute and wholesome.

"She'll be sitting on your shoulder like a parrot and you'll be sweating profusely" - I visualised that and had a good laugh 🤣

What a gorgeous old world spider. It's amazing how agile these big brutes are.

What a beautiful Orange Bitey Thing!

She's so big, yet so gentle! What a looker too! I'm sure everyone is glad you purchased her

I had a Haplopelma minax - evil attitude. Use to hear it in the middle of the night running around upside down on the mesh lid. Nightmare 😢

That video was so fun! I always learn so much from you. I have 2 OBTs and they are juveniles. I think they are super sweet. I’ve never gotten a threat pose and so far they don’t ever seem defensive. I have an LP that is much more… well… hungry than most of my Ts. It scares me a little. It learned that when I open up the enclosure that food is coming. I wish she would settle down.

She never once got Cheeky! Unbelievable! I just can't believe it! Your the God keeper of Spider's! Thank you for sharing her with us.

She would be the jewel of practically any collection. Her girth, her size, her colour, Gorgeous, gorgeous spider.

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous OBT Dave and quite large, she is very well behaved what an awesome baboon spider! Camera lady beautiful footage as always, great rehousing guys thanks so much!!🕷

Wonderful piece of footage and information.

This is what I love to see. My OBT is such a good baby, never threatens me, and (disclaimer) I handle her once in a while. She’s seriously just curious and laid back because I’m not giving her a reason to feel threatened. SUPER great eater too. Just observe your spiders behaviour and mannerisms

The channel "bugsnstuff" films them in Tanzania brooding slings about 4 ft up a vertical cliff in the crags, climbers. Luv your show Dave

Like I know you said you had a rather large OBT and I knew that while looking through the lid there was a large spider in there but I wasn't quite anticipating how thick that spider was. And then how absolutely gentle she was. What a lovely OBT. And how nice of her to really let you get a good look at her sex. She's really lovely.

That is the calmest OBT I have ever seen. You got magic with these tarantulas.

I have a sling OBT. That one is HUGE. It likes it's height & has webbed up it's container.

Cool to see that T laying web in its enclosure to the left of Dave 🕸🕷

OMG another OBT! I'm a happy happy girl. She is an absolutely beautiful big girl! Stunning! Thank you!!

Dave's videos really are brilliant, incredibly informative, great display of husbandry and how to create the perfect environment. Dave's handling of his spiders is really fantastic.

Beautiful video of the rehousing of the "monster" of spiders!😅 You are truly amazing!

for an OBT she is a well mannered young lady

Good job Dave and Camera Lady on the rehouse for OBT. I always look forward to seeing a video from Dave's Little Beasties.

I am brutally arachnophobic ( specially with tarantulas ) but I'm fascinated by the way you build the new houses so I hold my balls tight and go through the video. BTW , I don't kill them, I have them captured without damage and released away from my place.

What an all-around stunning spider! Size, color, behavior all exceptional. Thanks for a very interesting video.

i could listen to you talk about spiders all day...... thanks for another video Dave!

This was one of my first types of spider's. I don't see mine much anymore lol. Got is when it was very small. I had no idea they were so defensive until I got it home. I love how colorful they are.

A beautifully calm rehouse. Good for you, good for her. 👍

I learn so much from your videos. I would cringe when someone would say OBT but your video made me understand them. Thank you Dave ❤

Wow buddy. She is a big beast and absolutely stunning. The colour and markings are awesome.

You are so peaceful! I try to treat my tarantulas with gentleness and respect when I have to move them and I feed right after so they don't stay upset with me. Beautiful spood, great video!!!

Forced to agree. That is one BIG beautiful OBT.

That is an amazing looking spider.

Nice job. So glad for the girl coming to the Beastie room. Beautiful!

Cracking vidoe and spider. Am i understanding correctly that you have bought this specifically as are hoping to breed bigger OBT? Are you planning on keeping the biggest from the next generation to do the same, eventually having an army of yorkshire terrier sized OBT?

Absolutely stunning OBT colours are amazing really want one now thanks for sharing 👍

I would love to see follow-ups to your rehousing videos so we can see what these beasties do to their "sterile" new environments. Keep up the good work.

I watch a bunch of you T keepers and you seem to have the best understanding of their behavior by far

Thank you so much Dave! I have worried about mesh screens for years and also have been terrified my heavy-bodied terrestrial babies might fall and injure themselves. Sometimes we overthink and lose faith in our animals due to either outdated information or through posts that exaserbate situations. I have been told never to put anything in my tarantula enclosures that comes from outside. That's about to change. I also agree that with gentle care and respect, it's the best way to keep our spiders from dealing with unnecessary stress. Thank you again!

I just bought a 1 week old OBT! Excited!

These spicy buggers are one of my top 3 species

Woah ! That's the largest obt I've ever seen the size of her/him apparently the (typical form ) can be the largest but this ones a show stopper weldone dave and camera lady

She’s a beast! Very cool Dave and CL 😊

What a big, beautiful girl!! Love her!

Thanks Dave fantastic video👏 You are a true inspiration to people coming into this wonderful hobby, Even people that have been in the hobby some years you still manage to teach us a thing or to, You are a true Giant in the world of small critters 😂👍 Ps hope to see you Sunday?BT

She is beautiful It was so cool to be able to actually see her little toes open and close as she was walking across the glass just amazing. Looking forward to seeing what she does with her new home Great video guys 😊👍

She's lovely! She's also the largest obt I've ever seen. Good thinkin' camera lady! I'd have gone back and purchased her too!

If people get worried about their Spider after a rehouse, what I used to do, is place a couple of crickets in the enclosure after a rehouse or cleaning of the aquarium and my Spiders used to calm down as they began to eat. Only once did I try to breed 1 of my females, after finding out that I had a male, but she ate him instead. But anyway, I never worried about my Spiders because of all of the years of dealing with them even when I was catching Spiders as a child!

She is a beauty Dave! I love the OBT litteraly exquisite looking❤❤❤❤😊

Beautiful OBT Dave, amazing addition to your collection and channel! Just wanted to comment regarding the mesh segment of the video and share my recent personal experience. I lost my P.metallica back on the 10th of April when she got one of her front legs AND the opposite side back leg stuck on the mesh of an Exo nano tall. I knew she was due any day for a molt and she actually attempted to molt to free herself but obviously couldn't move her two stuck legs. The carapace popped and the abdomen started to peel away, but that's as far as she made it. By the time I got home and found her she was completely lifeless, fully stretched out, stuck to the mesh. Her death was no fault of her own. That one is on me as I had the plexiglass and tools to remove the mesh and mod the lid and should have done so before putting her in. I put her in thinking, meh, I'll replace it before it's an issue. She was in there less than a month before tragedy struck. My P.irminia got stuck to the mesh while I was home the very next day and I was able to free her. The mesh in all my exo's (luckily only 3 of them in use so far) was removed and replaced with drilled plexiglass that same week. I am glad you've not experienced such a tragedy in your collection as of yet. Be it 40 years or just 1 short month, it's not a problem until it is.

Wow! Dave, your style is so refreshing to watch. So calm and easy going.

She is such a beauty, and went into her new home really well, you are so good and calm, with your spiders, and it reflects on how they behave, I love your videos, ❤❤😊😊

Well done. Your technique and calm manner is wonderful. I hope this does turn out to be a female. She has wonderful genetics to pass on. Congratulations on this lovely new addition. Sending love and light from here.

He/she is HUGE for an obt! Impressive

Beautiful spider as always. I'm not too surprised at how well the rehouse went, you truly have a gift with these. As far as spiders not losing their grip, my B. boehmei often climbs around and more often than not, if she's roaming on the lid, she'll lose her footing and fall down to the substrate. Her enclosure is 2/3 filled with sub, which is more than adequate to ensure she doesn't suffer any serious falls. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful work, Dave! The OBT, despite (or perhaps due to) its reputation, often yields more successful rehouses for us. They tend to be more predictable than other Old Worlds, in my personal opinion. As always, your style and professionalism is an inspiration to watch. Keep up the excellent work! (p.s. fully agree with your terrestrial/arboreal hybrid setup 👍)

Had 1 of those too, with 6 other Baboon Spiders 🕷️, my favorite being the King Baboon Spider 🕷️ that I had. Beautiful, but quick and aggressive, still, it was always fun to watch them do what they do when attacking prey items! Love 💕 them!

She is sure a very big and pretty spider.

love how you handled her with love and care! you have a subscriber! keep it up mate

The Spider whisperer strikes again. ❤

She's stunning Dave and very calm

When you first touched her with the paint brush to see how she'd react, I thought she'd square off and attack the brush. Instead she acted like a ticklish little girl. You made friends already. LOL

Amazing video, I have an obt that needs rehousing soon When I watch your videos I feel more confident thank you so much and thanks to camera lady for the great filming. She brings the best out of the spiders 🕷

Thank you Sir...I love your videos!!! your calm and informative demeanor is extremely encouraging and inspiring!! You definitely gave me courage for keeping my Thanos...OBT. Thank you again!!!

Great acquisition David and Camera Lady❤ Thanks for the video!

Gorgeous OBT. My sling is just now showing a flash of orange, but I also housed like an arboreal and its always out for show.

Dave and Mrs Camera Lady 😁👋🏼☺️

Nothing other than awesome can describe her Dave, and I think I agree watching you compared to some others handle their spiders is like night and day.. poking them with grass or sticks to provoke them for a show etc, I’m glad it was your channel i found first or my interest now could possibly still been a compete fear of these awesome fascinating things 👍🏻 ps I still need some Beastie room merch lol

You really know your spiders and that's a fact. She is gigantic! Beautiful coloring. I love the alr blue in with the peach. I'm thinking they must get bounced around some in shipping. I guess there are special shipping instructions?

Very educating Mr Spider Whisperer, Sir! What a lovely spider !

OBT= Orange Beautiful Thing! She is gorgeous! So calm it was almost unbelievable. 🕷❤️

Very nice dave, that spider is so beautiful..❤

You really are amazing! Hope more take time to learn from you!

Thats beautiful Dave. I wish i could have this species. Shes huge

I also have mesh tops Dave without issues. I believe the tops that have caused problems are the woven style which are able to nip/trap a spider's claw.

My spider has gotten stuck a couple times on metal mesh. Best bet is the size of the mesh is important

Dave is the master of diplomacy! When HE says:" They ARE quick to defend themselves", I say:" They are absolutely psycho."😂

Dave, I will mention one issue I have had specifically with a Komodo mesh top. I set one up for a sub adult B boehmei. A couple of hours after homing it I found it upside down on the mesh lid in apparent distress. Looking close I saw that it had both fangs stuck in the mesh. Managed to free it by opening the lid enough to get a catch cup underneath and then applying pressure to the fangs using a plastic straw. They really were stuck too - took some pressure to free her. In hindsight the spider was too small for the enclosure, but thought I’d share this. Otherwise, great video. Had my birthday yesterday and my daughter bought me a 3cm OBT RCF. I laughed watching your vid as I had set the the enclosure for the sling in exactly the same way (much smaller scale of course). Added a few dried leaves for more hiding spaces too.

The markings on the carapace are beautiful.

What a impressive specimen of the OBT. Very pretty.

She’s a beauty! You made he transfer look so easy!

Every Sunday night I look forward to watching a video from Dave's , I can't go to sleep unless I see a video from you, I enjoyed the video so much and this one was a beautiful OBT Nice big girlAnd I hope you'll be able to pair her, Good job camera lady thank you📷👏📷😁🕷🕷🕷🕷

Smooth as Butter! She obviously knows of your reputation and is thankful to be in such good hands. She is right. She is beautiful. In great shape. I'm looking forward to her updates. And now I'm interested to see just how much she webs the place up! 🕸🕷

OBT: Orange Behaving Thing LOL.

A happy day...and an OBT! I'm watching your video from the communal laundry room dear David and Sweet Camera Lady! It has been a slightly different morning and I have hurt one knee and find it hard to walk and do the daily chores etc. I do my best despite that but if I was a spider with eight legs that would have been a great help today when I'm limping along the best I can with my two legs!
