Hey, Ed and Emily! I just wanted to give you some advice as you’re new to tarantulas. Unlike what you may see in care guides they don’t have certain humidity percentages that they require like reptiles to breathe and molt. They molt using their internal humidity which is the water they drink. For most common beginner species, like Grace, it is generally best to always have a full water dish and to keep them on dry substrate instead of really damp substrate like what was shown in the video. Then you want to mist one corner of the enclosure, wait for that to dry out, then mist another corner. If you notice that your tarantula is hanging out around the moisture a lot then mist slightly more space. They also appreciate really deep substrate to dig in. Some people will tell you that handling is bad and not to do it because tarantulas can’t learn they aren’t in danger like reptiles so it’s very stressful. I personally choose not to handle my tarantulas at all just in case, but as long as your tarantula is eating, and molting fine then handling it is probably fine for that individual. As a side note, I would recommend a Green Bottle Blue tarantula for the facility. They web a TON and tend to stand out in the open almost all the time. They also have gorgeous colors. I think that it would be a huge hit there.

It's funny, They said the tarantula was softer than a cat....and her family has a cat named Spidey.....

Cristine: collects nail peelies Emily: collects snake peelies

I love how the tarantula just climbs right out and was like YAASSSS

Awwwwwwwwwwww! My beautiful Eomer! I’m glad that you made it! I told Eowyn, but she really didn’t care at the moment because she was exploring! I still miss you very much! And I’m happy you made it safely and will be well taken care of! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also side note - I love his little black pink tongue!

Emily: She’s not happy Ed: She is NOT happy Emily: *sticks hand in the bag*

Snake : I'm aNgRy HuMaN !!! Humans: _pet her_ "Awwww yeah you're angry cutie~" Snake: *visible confusion*

As soon as grace came out of the tube i legit almost cried 😭 there is nothing cuter than a spider's careful little toe taps as they explore, what a perfect little babie ❤💕

Emily: "You're going to hate me even more when I check you over for mites." Angry Cobra: *WUT*

i love how emily has a fear of spiders but handles hundreds of snakes every day

When you’re scared of spiders but watched this video and they name the spider the same name as you

The moment I saw Grace's front legs peeking out I decided I wanted a curly hair tarantula and that is now my ultimate goal.

Emily: I'm not that comfortable with spiders. Also Emily: lemme put this tarantula on my hands!

That is amazing how Temari included hatch date, shed skins, etc. Such an amazing owner for the snake. It’s a shame that she couldn’t keep him. At least he has a good home now.

I just got my first snake, a (I was told Male) 4ish month old Snow Motley corn snake named Mercury after Freddie Mercury. I have watched your channel for years and overcome a slight fear of snakes. I have had Mercury for 3 weeks and it took me a couple weeks to completely stop being afraid of him, but I am finally holding him every day (other than 2 days after feed) without gloves and he hasn"_ tried to bite me once :) Thank you so much for showing me how beautiful snakes are. I want to get a Mexican Black King Snake next! They're so gorgeous. How do I get on your wait list? :) (I know its booked out a while)

the way tarantulas walk makes them adorable to me. Their dainty little tiptoed stippy-steps won me over instantly.

Ed: "Emily's not the *biggest* fan of tarantulas" Emily: Allows mega-spider to crawl on her Me: *screeches in arachnophobia*

Emily: "You're really going to hate me when I check you for mites" Tamari: *WUT* 😂😂

Emily: Which should we open first? Ed: Tarantula Emily: Hognose it is! Ed: Wow, look at the.....packing peanuts

Emily: How did you do in transit? Temari: *It’s obvious - NOT WELL*

* When a snake will probably finish quarantine faster than the world. *

I keep a few different species of tarantula's, including the curly haired. I would recommend at least 4-5 inches of substrate since they love to burrow. A water dish provides the perfect amount of humidity for them, so no need to spray the enclosure. Have fun with the new additions to your family!

I love how Emily doesn’t act like she knows everything while she’s really well educated on animal care she always admits when she’s wrong on someth8ng and that’s what I love abt her

For the bees in our neighborhood we actually put out a bowl with marbles in it and fill that with water, that way they can drink from it without falling in :)

Emily: Your such a scary little cobra Hognose: Wait what? Are you really comparing me to those low life’s?!?!

I love how you always accept to be corrected when you learn the info you had is wrong. So many people are SO reluctant to admit they're wrong, and they get nasty when they are corrected (no matter how nicely you tell them). But no, you're always "so I learned this was wrong, I'm sorry, this is the actual fact" and we learn with you :) that's why you make great educators.

Omg how is she able to handle these animals so calmly! I would have run away screaming.

Emily: A curly haired tarantula Box:Harmless REPTILE

Emily: I want wait to tell my sister we named a spider after her Me: There's a reaction video I want to see

Is lumpy still alive? He’s my favorite snake of yours and I haven’t seen him in a while

Haha, the tables have turned! :) Normally Emily & Ed have to hold and work with the animals to socialize them, but now Grace has to "hold and work with" Emily & Ed to socialize *them* to being comfortable with spiders!

Emily: like a cat but softer Tyler rugge: little leg puppies

Me: Scared of Spiders Emily: Getting over her fear Me again: THANK GOODNESS I’M NOT ALONE 😅

We can all say that we know what being a snake is like Because of our quarantine

Grace seems like such a lady, with her delicate steps and long hair 👸🏻

Eomer’s eye looks so silly and comical, making him/her appear perpetually confused lol 😂

My MBK INSTANTLY chomped on my finger when I first got her, so as soon as Emily questioned if he would eat out of the box, I knew the answer

“Well we are going to get this guy set up in quarantine” My mind- but we are in quarantine Edit- WAIT WHY SO MANY LIKES?!!! Ty 🥺

Fun fact: Tarantulas need their substrate packed down really frimly. They hate fluffy substrate because they feel vibrations through their feet through the substrate. Also, Tom Moran is a fantastic KZfaq resource for tarantula care ❤️ One of his females has been in his care over 30 years

Me when i see a small house spider: *visible fear* Emily with the tarantula:aww it's so cute

You have no idea how much it killed me inside to watch the tarantula. I’m so terrified of larger spiders, but I will suffer through this because I love your channel so much 😩

Emily: a bit scared of tarantulas. 5 seconds later: “AWWW she’s so cuteee!” *lets Grace crawl around her hands.

I used to have a sand snake and he LOVED mice but he was given to the owner before us because we had a berda dragon which was huge! I love your Videos! Keep up the good work and stay safe in quarintene!

Emily and Ed! Thank you for showcasing tarantulas in a positive light! As a reptile and tarantula keeper, tarantulas often get a bad rap and I love how you guys are giving these wonderful creatures a spotlight too! I (as well as many others) also commented on the sponge issue and it makes me so happy to know that you read comments and corrected that advice so professionally! Keep up the great work!

"We're so scared of you" *of course u r. Is cober*

Ed has the best laugh, and I love your baby voice with the tarantula.

Congratulations on your NEW tarantula and welcome to the tarantula hobby!

Emily: you’re so scary... such a scary little cobra... Mean while: Emily strokes the snake on the head and doesn’t act like it😂

I bet ed bought something again :) tell ed to keep “surprise” buying reptiles, emily!

I was ready to click off the vid on the tarantula part but oh my goodness she’s so sweet and so cute

One of my favorite moments is when she wasn't to proud or egotistical and admitted that we (as a community) corrected her, and taught the snake goddess something new!

When you get a chocolate add before watching snake discovery. 😂

8:33 that is literally the scariest thing I’ve ever seen I love snakes but I have horrible arachnophobia, I have nightmares about them a lot.

That moment when you’re quarantining reptiles while in quarantine

My sister looked over my screen and saw the tarantula, she then screamed. But you see, when I saw the tarantula, all I said with this is; “awww”

Oh my gosh!!! I LOVE the little words the snakes “say” 😂😂😂. I would’ve never thought of Tarantulas being in the IT business. 😂😂😂

Emily: “alright lets get this baby up in quarantine” Me: *you don’t say...*

8:33 Wow that’s a very floof spider

I keep coming back to this video just to watch the tarantula part. For some reason it's really satisfying to watch a fluffy spider crawl out of a jar. All her little legs look like a time lapse of a blooming plant.

Make sure you have plenty of substrate for your Tliltocatl (was Brachypelma) albopilosus (was albopilosum). Good ol' name changes..... lol. They love to dig and move dirt around. I find mine with it's fangs full of dirt pretty often. Have fun keeping the substrate out of the water dish 😁.

Onyx is literally such a beautiful snake, she’s one of my favorites by farrr 💕 Edit- I literally cannot wait for her to have some pretty babiieesss 😭😂

What an adorable tarantula she is!! I love how careful and deliberately she moves about, very cute and curious! I think it’s a really good omen she just came crawling right out docile as can be because regardless of how nice the species is, most of the tarantulas I’ve seen/met seemed either bolty or salty when they first arrived. Can’t wait to see more of her!!

OH MY GOD! Animal House is where I got my Plains Hognose Snake! Dan Thomas is amazing and I'll always stand by him. He has great feeders as well! You two seem so close yet so far! I live in Southeast Wisconsin :) Can't wait for your zoo to be done. I'll for sure be taking time off work and a few friends to go tour what is sure to be an incredible place.

I love you guys you influenced me to want a snake!!! Thank you so much love you all!

They are adorable and amazing. Eomer’s note is so adorable

When I can I will actually try and get everything for a snake even a license Edit: ever since I've started watching you I've really wanted a snake

"after her quarantine" i'm just like...wow we have been in quarantine for 104 days...this is our 105....

Emily: "You're gonna hate me even more when I check you for mites" Snake: "WUT?" LMAO

Me: I’m scared of tarantulas. Also me: omg she’s so adorable I want her! Edit: my most popular comment is about tarantulas! That’s nice. Another edit: 300 likes for a 300/10 tarantula.

I absolutely love tarantulas, over where I used to live there was an annual tarantula festival in October because they would all come out to breed during that time so you see them EVERYWHERE outside! It was super cool!

Grace is such a gorgeous tarantula. Love that she is more chill than half of Exotic Lair's collection.

I’m from Hawaii so we don’t have many “dangerous” spiders, but they still scare me. So when I saw the tarantula coming out of the container I was like “nope!”, but as I continued watching I thought that she was actually pretty cute. I’d probably still freak out if I held one irl, but Grace is definitely a cutie!❤️❤️❤️

5:00 "He's so eco friendly!" With the styrofoam box, yes, of course I do appreciate that he's doing better then he could have though

I like that they put the note on the top so they could warn you about the trying to eat fingers before you unpacked the snake rather than after!

The fact that Emily actually learns from her mistakes and owns up to them, is so amazing. I've seen SO many people get offended when they are proven wrong, especially in hero care! Both Emily and Ed are people I look up to, and I'm glad I know my little brother watches you, too lol!

Nobody: Me: gIvE mE mY sNake DiScovery

I love my tarantulas!! I have Honduran curlies. But I bring them to programs! Such a chill species!! So happy for you guys!! Love the snakes too obviously!

OMG Eomer is gorgeous! I especially love his scattered inverse freckles on his sides 😍

“Do you have a tude, do you have a tu- Oh your soooo pretty.

Your new curly hair is beautiful!! I'm always super excited to see others branch out to tarantulas, and a more well established channel like yours will absolutely help with the common misconceptions. She looks fantastic, seems very docile and i hope you enjoy keeping such a unique arachnid!

9:47 Grace:I have superpowers if I touch u long enough I can tell if u good or bad Grace:u good :3

I’ve been studying all animals but especially exotic animals for 11 years I have a tarantula this video is awesome super educational and it is all correct information.

Oh! Tarantulas are my second biggest fear and thanks to Exotics Lair I've almost overcame it but I will be happy if you guys made some tarantulas videos too! I hope you guys are good. Bye!

wow i’m so early! i just wanted to tell you guys that you have taught me so much about reptiles (especially snakes) and now i’m thinking about getting my own! thank you guys so much for making such god and informative content💞

Can’t wait for the care video! I really want a tarantula but I’m still working on convincing my mom ahah! But I managed to convince her on a snake so if I can do that I can do anything. For now I’m stocking up on all the info I can

The Nicaraguan and Honduran “Curly Hair” tarantulas are actually the same species, just different localities. They’re also known as different “forms”. They are also the species known as Tlitlcoatl Albopilosum and its better to use their Latin names because many tarantulas’ common names are misleading or reference multiple different species!

I wish someday ed will be the one speaking in front, expalining everything. Even for just one vid. Hit the like button if u want it too....

Emily: “Well, we will be getting Eomer into quarantine-“ World: “No surprise.” COVID-19: *vibin~*

in those boxes are my cousin's worst fears and my favourite animals. great! I've always wanted a Mexican black king snake so this video was amazing.

Thank you Eomer for making this video possible

Came straight over from D&D

storytime!! (backround: i am a girl scout so this happened on a recent camping trip before covid) it was the first night and i was in the bathroom changing into pjs when when a wild tarantula showed up at another stall (the stalls were outside) and scared the CRAP out of me and long story shory i was crying in a unicorn onesie in a bathroom

Eomer is absolutely stunning 😍 Mexican Black Kings are my fav snakes along with Sinaloan Milks!!! Love having snakes that aren’t picky eaters!

Hey Emily, I may have to rehome my veiled chameleon at some point, so I was just wondering if you'd take him?

Hello! It’s almost one in the morning but I made it! How are you and Ed?

You always make my day when you post, it always make me super happy. Me and my mom loves you channel, because we love learning about animals. I also want to send you fan mail, but my parents say I can’t 🥺. Thanks for being one of the only youtubers that post a lot. I never get bored. Thanks for being a great influence. I would love it if you would respond, it would make me so happy 😁!!

I have always been kinda fascinated by snakes. They're awesome. Totes on you for being able to have a tarantula crawl on your hands. I might faint if that were to happen to me. And Eomer was soooo cute and sassy. Kinda like me.

I love tarantulas!!! Glad you finally got one!!

Third!?!? Wow that’s the second third of my life XD

Watching your channel got me back into keeping snakes (it's been years since I had them, but watching your video made me miss them and once my cat passed I bought snakes haha), and I'm also trying to get over my fear of spiders so I'm looking forward to watching you conquer your fears with Grace!
