  • In this video we rehouse a few Grammostola slings and Nibbles, my OBT tarantula, who is extremely quick and bolty.

    I rehoused my bigger OBT yesterday (around 2cm) and holly hell was she a bolty little bugger and almost ran straight from the dubbel boxes into my apartment, but luckily we both eventually settled on her new enclosure being the better option xD hahaha
    My Ceratogyrus darlingi was much easier to move, she just bit my straw once to see if it was edible but then followed its directional pushes quite nicely :D

    When an experienced Tarantula keeper rehouses a species like a person with arachnophobia, you know that species is problematic.

    I got my OBT after 2 months into Tarantula keeping. Before that I've done research and watch many vids about OBT. The first time I rehouse my OBT, it fled to my hand, quickly ran down the table and ended up underneath my bed 😅 it was basically a war. Thankfully I didn't get bitten. I housed her in a big enclosure now so I won't have to rehouse her ever again 😁

    Ah Kat, this was great. Don’t feel bad, I made some of the same mistakes when I rehoused my first one. I’ve learned firstly what you did, don’t put their enclosure into the new one. Lmao. Just get them in a cup and transfer. Then, to give them a semi arboreal setup on top of the piles of dirt. They run and stop under cover and tend to calm down faster. Also, webbing turns into amazing designs too as a bonus. ;) keep up the good work.

    I love this video! As much as I always talk about how much I love other T's, the OBT is honestly my favorite. I own more of them than any other T. The Tom Moran cupping is it best bet. I've rehoused so many of OBTs, more than any other species. I have crazy stories of trying to do EXACTLY what u just did. At least u learned and was like "don't do this like this". I've tried a handful of times, all with fails 😆. Cupping is so fast and so easy. U HAVE to put holes all in the cup though. OBTs will do what urs did at the end and eventually hunker down once in the cup. Without a ton of holes you'll be in the same position u were in in the video. Anyways, love the video. Ur amazing ♥️

    lol that was funny :D
    when Im rehousing pterinochiluses or harpactiras etc basically all baboony spiders I always use a cup I wouldnt ever try to get one to walk between enclosures its too easy for them to run and not stop and they could end up anywhere. but for some reason tarantulas really like being in plastic cups so when you encourage one to walk into a cup it will almost always just sit there calmly while you move it. its usually way more difficult to get them outve the cup than in but you can just leave the cup in the new enclosure and get it later

  • @TuberoseKisser
    @TuberoseKisser Před 3 lety

    Idk if you'll see this but I have a tip, I have a juvenile a. seemanni and she is unhinged, What I do is I get one of those flatter deli cups/bowls and put it on one side of the hide/burrow and use a really skinny paintbrush to maneuver it under the deli cup, then I Use the delicup lid and slide it under the cup and tarantula, After wars I put the delicup inside the enclosure, close the lid then use the airholes to let me use the paintbrush and open the deli cup, Idk if the holes on your enclosures are big enough for a really skinny paintbrush but I'm sure something can fit through them.
    tldr:
    1. Place a deli cup(flat one) at one end of the burrow/hide
    2. Use a paintbrush to push the tarantula towards the delicup.
    3. Slide the delicup lid under the tarantula and make sure the delicup doesn't snap close.
    4. place the deli cup in the new enclosure.
    5. Close the enclosure and use a thin paintbrush or stick to open the delicup through the holes.
    6. push the tarantula into it's new hide so you can remove the delicup.

    Anyways, great rehousings. I’ve been wanting a G. Ihrengi and G. Actaeon. Your OBT is beautiful. Is she a RCF??

  • @fullonsociopath
    @fullonsociopath Před 3 lety

    Take a plastic fork or spoon, and use heavy duty clear tape to attach it to a deep catch cup. Mine is a 1 liter water bottle from casey's, with the end cut off. Gives you the ability to move it without having to worry as much if the T ends up on the cup rather than in. Nice job though. You did the most important things: Kept her contained, kept her safe, got her in her new home. It's a definite win.
