Ya!

Lol

LMFAO

🤣🤣 Me every day of my life 🤣

I can always count on you to comment on every Dark Den video, Supreme Leader.

Yes😂

Especially in context! You see all these well-put-together enclosures... then you see one, off by itself, with a rock seemingly hastily put on top... makes you wonder what might be lurking.

Same here

same here, I now own tarantula's. despite the fact I used to be 💩of spiders. Now I love them, getting another one next week.🇬🇧🦋

Ive REALLY been wanting to find a tanzania DCF to add to my collection. Never have em at the shows it seems like

lol, making fun of addictions, you're _so_ fun-ny!

And cappuccino 😢

wait, what have I missed something?when did despesito pass away?

He's quite problematic of hoarding animals without knowledge of how to take care of them.

@@nom3nnescio u know him like dat?

@@nom3nnescio so which animals doesnt he know how to take care of? By your comment it's pretty obvious you dont own inverts.

@Darnese Bell check out Dave's little beasties and tarantula collective as well both have over 20 years experience keeping and breeding T's 😊 like dark den you also have exotics lair and tarantula Kat are both entertaining to watch as well 😁 they are definitely worth checking out 😊😊😊

I had 1 escape and didnt notice as it was a sling, then i saw a spider run up my wall and thought it looks suspiciously tarantula like and when I had a closer look it was 1 of my Y. diversipes 😅😅

that's what I like :)))))

Gotta love a good baboon bolt. They stress me out and still my favorites to keep

I'm in the UK. Are bicoloratum a lot harder to come by the the likes of the chalcodes? Just wondering due to the massive difference in cost. The Arizona Desert Blonde appears to be the cheapest out of them all. Are the higher priced ones harder to breed?

@@philtrevis so Aphonopelma bicoloratum is actually native to Mexico and I personally keep US natives because almost no one gives them any affection here in the US :’) But to answer your question, they are a bit harder to come by, especially when compared to Aphonopelma chalcodes- but that’s because A. chalcodes is native and A. bicoloratum is from Mexico, which it is very difficult to get legal imports from. So in the case of A. chalcodes vs A. bicoloratum, it’s mostly because they’re non native and are slow to breed live every other true Aphonopelma. A. chalcodes has also been in the (US) hobby much much longer than almost any other Aphonopelma (pretty much only rivaled by A. hentzi) because they’re laid back and very easy to come by out in the wild but will also readily breed in captivity. With the combination of being easy to find for WC adults, relative ease of breeding, and the amount of time they’ve been in the hobby- it means they’re much more available. Thus the price lowers. The more expensive Aphonopelma like Aphonopelma moderatum, Aphonopelma paloma, Aphonopelma xwalxwal etc is because they’re much harder to collect and are indeed a bit trickier to breed- but not all are harder to breed, it’s just hard to find them and almost all native Aphonopelma (at least in the US) are WC. Non-US native Aphonopelma like A. bicoloratum and A. moorae are difficult to get legal imports from because they’re from Mexico so they’re much harder to find than our own native species. I hope this helped!

@@devinscreaturecrew I was kind of thinking along this line. Still quite new to the hobby in the UK, just over a year in and 16 T's owned. Still learning lots about various species. In the UK we can get the chalcodes (Desert Blonde and River Rust) quite readily. Right now I could probably get both of these, the bicoloratum and the hentzi from 2 or 3 different breeding suppliers. I have yet to come across the third chalcodes on my travels through the UK supply chain, the flagstaff? It is only recently that the Aphonopelma have really caught my eye. I really like the chalcodes and the bicoloratum but my wife thinks they're boring. Our first T's were Caribena versicolor, G pulchripes and my daughters N chromatus. The Aphonopelmas strike me because they are so different. I want to expand my collection but I am seriously running out of room. I need a bigger house!!!

@@devinscreaturecrew i agree the natives dont get a ton of love. Im quite the fan of the old worlds but got love for my natives too. My personal favorite is the Aphonopelma Hentzi. Mainly because as a native Texan i use to encounter them often. But now have cbb ones in my collection. Gotta love em

You should buy online mate as you can get them cheaper and good chance if you buy from large online supplier you are buying from the place the pet shop buys from 😊 do it get the Avic. avic, I have 1 and she is always out on show and walking about. My Avic. purpurea is the same 😁

hope you have enough fee time XD
