Poopin on the cat
So basically any type of baboon ?? Lol
Thanks Richard LOVE your shows. BEAUTIFUL BABIES LOVE THEM
" i also really like this t because its orange. and im also orange "
this made me laugh hella hard
Could be worse. You could be Mr Pink :)
I didn’t notice he had an orange beard until then, I guess it was the lighting in his lair! Lol been watching for a while too lol
I can’t express how much I appreciate you for not demonizing the obt I have three of them and all three retreat into their burrows and never give me threat poses occasionally rehousing I get something but that a no brainer since your basically destroying it’s home to move it into a new one. I really enjoyed this video .
Unfortunately here in South Africa they are illegal to own however i did get a close second and that's the Asian Fawn (also my first old world). It turned orange from its previous molt and my only issue I've had with it is rehousing as it has enough energy to even jump from its enclosure. Other than that it's been a pleasure to keep.
my obt is evil. always giving me threat pose when i’ll open its enclosure and it’s fast as hell
IMO they still aren't the best "beginner OW" IMO. They are fast, flighty, aggressive, w POTENT venom. P Lusardi is a better choice, although not as colorful.
My first old world was a obt rcf and I love the little one he's got some spunk but it adds too the species and there not as bad as people make out I have tons of babbon species that people swear are little devil's but there actually not
I agree completely. Obt was my first tarantula. An adult. I wasn't sure of the sex at the time and I didn't care. I do realize they are probably not typically recommended for beginners, but I loved mine. I set him up in a glass enclosure with plenty of substrate,hide, fake plants, some moss and a water dish with a screen top and cage clips. I never had any trouble with him. He ate,molted and just did his thing. And tbh I got a big kick out of the occasional threat posturing. I thought it was hysterical. Thanks again 🕷️
I promised myself that I would never go Old World just because I don't need the extra anxiety or nervousness. I plan to keep that promise but Love this video.
My T list just got significantly larger XD
Lol....it is what it is...hahaha
For a future Tarantula Tuesday can you make a video about the different categories (fossorial, terrestrial, semi-arboreal, and arboreal) of tarantulas, how to set up a proper enclosure for each, and what tarantulas are part of those groups
Tarantulas tarantulas everybody loves tarantulas, if you see fuzz where your hampster was it's probably because tarantulas 😂 my boyfriend just said that and I died laughing..he has a such a wicked sense of humor
My first old world was a big surprise as i got it in a mystery box. P. Metallica, and i love it.
Wow you’re lucky, those are pretty expensive.
@@potatofish7151 Yeah, was a very nice surprise.
Hello shawn my name is jesse. I'm new to the T game. And I only want 2 pet Ts and one is the Gooty. How did it go for you getting it as your 1st T? Some say go for it. And others say dont. What's your experience like if you dont mind sharing. My wife and I are nervous about getting a Gooty. But that's one of the 2 I would really enjoy. At least in my thinking. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you
@@jessecastillo3841 One thing i will say is this, make sure you have a transfer friendly enclosure for when you need to rehouse. Mine is one very bolty and very fast spider and you definitely dont want one escaping, other than that its a very beautiful and rewarding tarantula that hates light. I would say that if you take your time and dont spook the tarantula during a rehouse you will be fine.
4:14 I'd get one just to say to people "I have Metallica in my room."
My 1st Old world ( Ceratogyrus Darlingi) 😍🤗
Same
Mine was P. Regalis
I just got one as my first tarantula
Mine too! Love these guys
Started out with H. pulchripes, and wouldn‘t pick any other as my first old world.
I just got my first OW- a beautiful 1" M. balfouri. Still waiting for the adult coloration, but it's so velvety! The seller was also wonderful enough to add a freebie- a teeny tiny OBT! So glad to see them both on this list. Now for a P. Metallica...
I keep waiting to see where the Cyriopagopus minax will pop up. Anyone that's a fan of ExoticsLair will know the struggles of having a Thailand Black
I notice no one ever mentions P. Regalis on these 'top' lists. I remember one at my old workplace at a tropics display centre and she had one hell of a feeding response, but she also had an more defensive attitude that most, so in short, a bit of a diva xD
When feeding, she'd either ignore you completely, or throw herself at the tongs and scare the wits out of the poor soul holding the tongs. Will never forget that T, she certainly left one hell of an impression, and P. Regalis are of course absolutely gorgeous
I have 9 new worlds and am finally taking the plunge into old worlds. Picking up a C. marshalli tomorrow night, and I’m so excited. I’m scared of the speed, but I’m confident in my safe and diligent care. Can’t wait to own my unicorn.
The monocentropus balfouri just looks “cute”. By far the “cutest” on the list. It should be the next Lucas the spider meme
😄😄 I have a Balfouri. I rarely see him .but he's still cool!
I have a half grown female, she is darty and shy but overall...sweet, likes to wonder about, even during the day but I've never seen her eat a meal but she has obviously grown and stayed fat, so that's a good sign 😂
I love it. I totally agree with the OBT, it's my first old world tarantula and I didn't even have a problem with her❤️ greetings from Philippines ❤️
I have an obt only after 3 months of keeping new world. So far, he’s been on his best behavior. Although, he did dart up my arm when rehousing
Fantastic video! My top 10 would be:
1. Poecilotheria metallica
2. Lampropelma nigerimmum (Sanghe)
3. Selenotypus plumipes
4. Cyriopagopus schmidti
5. Eucratoscelus pachypus
6. Pterinocolus murinus (Tête)
7. Selenocosmia crassipes
8. Heterothele Gabonensis
9. Hystocrates crassipes
10. Heteroscodra maculata
Nhandu Chromatus care and husbandry next please!
p. metallica is so high on my list and got a lot more confident seeing it here. one day i will have it, or two, or three
My first old world is a Ceratogyrus brachycephalus WF. It's kind of rare but is such a character. Totally worth it. XD
Man, I needed that video. Just saw the Exotics Lair's video where he received a sling T that got squished by bad packaging. Your videos are a cure. (a "how to make a proper package to mail your spiders" would be good for a lot of people at this point)
I never realized the stripes on OBTs proximal leg were such a pretty contrasting sterling color. I am not prepared for an old world lolol...
Couldn't agree more Richard, picked up an H. puclhripes a couple of weeks ago at a convention. By far the best looking and surprisingly easy to care for.
We got our Gooty just before Christmas, he/she is still pretty young but we love playing hide and seek with it because its still small and blends in with the corkbark backing. I absolutely can't wait till it molts a few times and we can see the colors.
I definitely think the H. villosella "chestnut baboon" should have been on this list. I think all the others were perfect! Thank you for another amazing video!
Old World T's are so awesome looking!
my second tarantula was old world, pokie regalis, then I got 2 others, ceratogyrus meridionalis and darlingi, then I got an OBT, and some other old worlds before I got my next new world. For me I just get the species I want and learn along the way. I never understood the whole nervousness of people getting old worlds, the angry ones are the most fun.
Wooo hoooo! A break from the madness! I'm waiting for 8 new auditions to arrive in the post 2moz! Can't friggin' wait!
love your videos! Keep them coming!
Didn't even neet to wait until you said the spieces name for number 3. Just hearing the long disclosure about how they get a worse rep than they deserve was enough to tip me off that it was OBT.
Great video man ! Lovely Ts choice!
Just found your channel two days ago and I love it.. Watching the videos now like crazy! Thank you for your output!
I finally subscribed, I like your energy with each species, and I always learn a lot.
Love your channel. Keep up the great work! The H. Pulchripes is on my list now. Subscribed!
Hey Richard,
Thanks for making such quality videos. I’m new to the hobby and I have to say, the information is top notch and presented so well. It’s hard to find videos that are both informative and fun to watch. Keep it up!
Now my first old O.W. Was the C. Fimbriatus. I love it’s webbing and with its burrow it seems very docile. I love the colors and the feeding response. I would have loved to have seen it here but all ten were great species. Thanks again for what you do. Stay safe man
This was siiick! great video! Interesting picks indeed. I myself have the Socotra Island Blue Baboon and even as a sling it webs so much and lately it's been out and about walking around and webbing it's enclosure. So far it's almost 3 months old and in my care it has molted once. It's so tiny and fuzzy rn, I'm proud to see it growing well c':
Thanks for sharing dude! If it wasn't for your informational video on this T, I wouldn't have gotten it. 😎👍🏿🔥
H. pulchripes has been on my list! Such a beautiful tarantula. Can't wait to get my hands on one. Another awesome video man!
Great video, defo look forward to theses especially now as I’m on high risk list with this germ going around 12week lock down.
The M balfouri just has a special place in my heart for some reason. I've honestly been going back and forth between them and the P metallica as my first old world. Though if I get a balfouri I'd want to keep a communal so I think the metallica is going to win for now lol. Not going to lie though, the idea of setting up a small palludarium with a few minnows in a water feature with a Cameroon red baboon sounds awesome as well.
The orange baboon and the golden blue leg is the most beautiful tarantulas when I get a little more knowledge and experience in tarantulas I’m getting one of each and I can’t wait
Your videos are amazing. So glad I can learn from you and your videos.
Totally agree with your assessment of the OBT. I haven't had any of the issues I so commonly read about, maybe I'm just lucky, idk, but I think a lot of the mystique around it probably comes from keepers who aren't ready for one and set it up improperly. Mine's made a web castle with several entrances and I don't recall ever getting a threat pose.
BTW, you forgot to mention a big factor in the OBT being a good beginner old world in that the husbandry is very simple. These things are tanks and don't require much maintenance or humidity at all.
my H. pulchripes is absolutely stunning and such a wonderful addition to my small collection. i was trying to get an A. semanii, but they were sold already. i felt like it was fate to receive my beautiful eragon. i love her
this is just the video i was looking for :) i realized my fear of keeping old world T's has kind of kept me from learning about them. Excited to learn more details!
super video! I have already looking for my first old word, and i decidet to get Monocentropus balfuri
Awesome video Richard
By far my favorite intro music 💚
good choice for the number one spot, my h pulchripes is pretty laid back. its one of my favourites and i wanted one for so long before finally getting one.
H.pulchripes is my dream T, hopefully I could get one soon here and thank you so much for featuring the PH pride, the Philippine Tangerine in your top 10 beginner OW list. Stay safe everyone!
I recently picked up my first two old world slings. They both made your list. A C. Darlingi and an OBT. The one inch Darlingi gave me a threat pose when I nudged it with my paint brush, but I waited until it calmed down and got it housed without much trouble. The OBT molted in transit, and so was the easiest housing I've ever had. It's good to be lucky.
100% agree with number #1 it was my first old world and I treated it like it was radioactive when there was no need to! Great video as always! 🔥
Just got my 7th T and first old world… a P regailis!! im so excited she’s already so big and i get to set up her sub adult cage tonight!
My OBT is defensive but she has never been flighty with me but then again it’s not a sling she is a sub adult female
I like how you give the regular name along with the scientific name. I think that most people just mention the scientific name. For some of the less scientific, it's really nice to have the regular name. : )
Thank you so much for this video. Gooty and OBT are on my list for old world Ts. Now I have more once I'm ready for them!
Nice top 10 ,keep the video’s coming
Your at the top of your game. Keep doing what you do.
H. Pulchripes is my goal T. I want to gain a little more new world experience first. Such a beauty. Thanks for the great video.
awsome vid dude i love my oldworlds i really have a soft spot for africsn old wolrds alot of my collection are baboon.alot of my viewers and myself love your channel.much love mr ds tarantulas
Great video Richard! I started my OW collection with a P. regalis and have now moved to include a C. lividum that I rehabilitated with a friend over the course of like 4 weeks (I wish i was exaggerating), 2 obt's (one rcf one possibly dcf Kigoma) and a M. balfouri.
I love it. Great content. I honestly think any OW is suitable for a fire spider. But that's only because before i got my first one, i immersed myself in videos like yours, Tom moran and dark den. Especially when people record and things don't go well and the spider does get out and bolt everywhere. Shows people how manageable it actually is if you don't panic.
Keep up the good work!
That's one of the things I like about the Dark den, he shows you how bolty they really can be!!
My first tarantula was a p metallica, and no, I don't mean it was my first old world t, I mean it was my first ever t. I spent a long time researching the species beforehand though, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I think that you should get the tarantula you REALLY want, even if it's your first. As long as you do your research and you have fully committed yourself to taking care of the animal properly, then I'd say that even as a first time keeper, go for whichever species you want.
My first tarantula was an ephebopus cyanognathus, they are really cool but my first one matured a male so its not with me anymore. My second was an Arizona blonde and she is still with me.
I actually got my first tarantulas this past Saturday and 2 were on the list. I got a Monocentropus balfouri juvenile, a Orphnaceus philippinus sling, and a GBB sling. It's been exciting to add these to my exotics collection.
I started with a G. Pulchripes, then bought an OBT for my second tarantula sling just because I saw one on sale online. I was looking forward to handling it because I loved its orange color, which kinda looks like that orange donut. Good thing I started researching before the OBT reached half an inch big. Your channel saved me from a lot of bites, thanks! My OBT is going 3 inches (Chaco at almost 5 inches) and making amazing web and tunnel networks! Now I have more Old world fossorials than New world terrestrials because I just love seeing the tunnels they make in their enclosures.
Love love love that H. Pulchripes! Cannot wait to have one.
Crazy! I'm looking at your merch, watching old videos in the back ground. And guess what comes one the screen the same time I scroll past the framed poster.... The Golden Blue Leg Baboon!! Ughh I love coincidences. 😀
My OBT had a terrible attitude, and it was my favorite T. I wouldn't be really nervous to keep anything but aboreals or Haplopelmas.
I'm making the dive today. I have a 2 P Regalis and a H Pulchripes coming in as my first OWs. I've been building up a compilation of notes and research for 3 months in prep. I'm so excited to finally make the jump and get some of my dream spiders.
Hi Richard, another great video. I must say that it is hard to argue with any of the animals in your top three as I have had zero problems with any myself. I was not aware that H. gigas was a fisher and that is a really cool thing to learn. I have also had no problems with my P. fasciata, she is gentle and slow moving for me. Keep up the good work.
can tell this guy crazy love tarantualas and such passion and excited give information for beginners. he remind me of my self
Love the video bud👍👍. I have 4 of the top ten and love them. Don't have the H pulchripes but it's definitely on my list. Keep up the great videos. And yes I agree that the OBT is great with proper housing they are very calm, mine only get defensive during rehousing. I have the red color form 1 juvie and 2 slings. The juvie has had 3 rehousings and the slings none so don't know how they are just yet but the juvie gets quite defensive during the rehousing but readjusts just fine shortly afterwards. The colors on the RCF are amazing if you like bright orange and reds. The velvet orange on the O philippinus is amazing too.
C. darlingi was my first old world! I received it as a surprise freebee with my second tarantula ever (an A. chalcodes) so I was...a bit nervous. But so far its been pretty chill and I really like it. It bolted up the tongs once during a rehouse but that one was my fault. It's been awesome to watch how fast it grows.
Nice video bro! U got it
I listen to everything u say,
u got the listen power i love it 😍❤️
My first oldworlds where my king baboon, 2 M.balfouris mustard baboon, selenocomsia kovariki i all got them at the same time with my mystery box 😂😁 plus i just begin collecting T's since januari ❤️😁
my first old world was an obt their amazing to keep i love the orange coloration and the webbing she made was crazy
Currently have 2 OBTs and honestly never gotten a threat pose, yet lmao! I agree there such beauty’s, love the vid bro 💪🏽🔥
100% agree. I got an obt and h.pulchripes as my first old worlds. My obt sling is skittish but it hides 100% of the time and has been extremely easy to care for. My H.pulchripes is my most active T in my collection, my best eater, always out and us super chill with feeding, watering and rehousings. Highly recommend. ❤
awesome video! So many beautiful Ts. My first and only old world is an obt. She fast but has never given me any trouble.
You’re lucky
I was really excited to see your opinion on this topic, as I remember messaging you & you had said this had been a topic in the making for a while.
I found this list to be quite interesting as my first OW's were a c darlingi, m balfouri & I Mira slings. The darlingi was definitely the best of these choices as it is the 1 most on display & has made an interesting webbing, also is fairly docile but will occasionally display defensive traits. Both the Mira & balfouri remain hidden & are both quite bolty.
I then decided it was time to expand purchasing a h pulchripies & a p metallica. The pulchripies is a beautiful individual bit can be abit unpredictable, as for the Metallica it usually just retreats. I wasn't sure whether I would ever get pokies but these from what I had researched were the best way to go as they smallest & less defensive of all + the colouration is amazing
Wow. The H cafreriana is definitely an underrated species. So beautiful! Baboon tarantulas are my favorite!
Predicted the no. 1 'cause thats my no. 1 too. Haha. And thats no. 1 on my wishlist T's.
I completely agree. My H. Pulchripes is my calmest T. That's even in comparison to some classic beginner species as well.
New to the tarantula community , don't actually own one as of yet , but hopefully this weekend , I come across you chanel and yourself , searching for the caribena versicolor , I absolutely love your passion and enthusiasm towards these arachnid's 👍😎👍
Great helpful video, greetings from Germany
Could you do a top 10 largest tarantula species next?
Nice video again, Richard!
Stay safe during these crazy times..
Thank you...you do the same!
Stay safe! Cuddle your T's
Whenever I want to learn or watch videos about Tarantulas, I always visit this channel. Looking forward for more videos. Keep it up man!
Awesome, thank you!
I was surprised to see the OBT in there because of the reputation. I am keeping four at the moment and find if I don't screw with them, they are actually quite chill, though shy. Great eaters
Would love to see a video about the amber baboon tarantula. This one has quickly rocketed up my wish list.
The Tangerine's are incredibly beautiful I cant wait to order one.
Awesome video, you have an incredible collection. I can't wait to get my first old world species, it's going to be tough to narrow down which one!
Seriously, get the h.pulchripes. It's one of experienced keepers favorites for a reason. I'm newer to the hobby but mine is my favorite in my collection. Super easy husbandry, active and always out, personalities vary but mine is just as calm as any of my new worlds, great feeding response, and just a stunning T.
H. Pulchripes is my favorite OW, and it was my first. Its a great species, its a little fast but i havent got any threat poses or defensive behavior from it. All around great species. Good video bubba!
My first spider was an OBT and shortly after an hmac. Love the videos and love my recluse girls. Very beautiful species. Cheers from Saskatchewan.
I like balfouri best. Here again, there were some species I haven't known before. And I haven't known about H. gigas grabbing for fish. That is cool. It is nice to have such videos that can still be normally kept up these days and let us think about sth. different for a while.
OBT and P.Metallica ❤️ Just got mine this week ❤️
Much love from PH 👌 Keep it up! learned a lot from your channel ❤️❤️❤️
Good review sir ❤️
support from Philippines 🥰
Oh wow, I just got a Augacephalus ezendami a couple weeks ago, he's only an inch but so cool looking
Really a great video Richard ! !!
In these sad time with the corona virus, it's essentiel to change our mind...
Only two things I love to do these days :
1-feeding my tarantulas
2-Watch the tarantula collective 😊
Thank you again Mr. Stewart
What up buddy? Nice video as always my friend. I see that hoodie you got on. Looks awesome
Hey, thanks!
You can always expect fantastic edits and film from Richard
