Curly Hair Tarantula (Tliltocatl/Brachypelma albopilosus) Care & Husbandry
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 06. 2024
- In this video I cover care, husbandry, and feeding for the Tliltocatl albopilosus (formerly Brachypelma albopilosum) , also known as the Nicaraguan or Honduran Curly Hair Tarantula. I discuss the care, husbandry, feeding, enclosures and differences between types of this tarantula. This includes handling, temperature, humidity, set up, substrate, lifespan, and size for spiderlings, juveniles and adult tarantulas. As well as the recent name change from Tliltocatl from Brachypelma. I cover essentially everything you need to know about set up and taking care of your tarantula. 🖖💚🕷

#tarantulatuesday #theTarantulaCollective #tarantulas
Thanks for checking out this weeks episode! I hope you find it informative and entertaining! As irony would have it, right after I recorded this video this species was reclassified! It is now classified as Tliltocatl albopilosum. You can check out the paper here: academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/zoolinnean/zlz046/5611858?fbclid=IwAR1yz2--7tmszGrQJeqAa3UOC2103Ln8qF8qU5oMJQJu8LeCFvI10bcL9us
Fantastic channel ❤️🕷️ I love the way you present and the obvious care you give to your Ts. I recently sent you a PM on Facebook messenger and by coincidence the next day, Tuesday, you feature the same species!! Tliltocatl albopilosum...and I'm happy to discover the new word is pronounced with the T being silent 🤣 Please check out my message to you and have a look at the two videos of my T albopilosum in action 😎🕷️☯️
😁😎
Hey where do you get that bigger enclosure? The one for the adult size that's all clear like? They don't have those in the container store
I am getting this one for my first one...Should I worry about urticating hairs getting to my cat if she's never in the room? Like from my clothes or anything? That's my only concern
@@asin9ne81 petco
If you provide the right substrate/housing they create amazing burrows and then you don’t see them as much... but watching a tarantula carry little bits of dirt and walk back and forth working on it was incredibly cute and entertaining.
I've spent **hours** watching my T. Albo build it's burrow, truly fascinating to watch, they even stop to clean themselves from time to time, it's great!
I got lucky, mine made her burrow against the glass 🥰🥰🥰
@@shanesquuaaaddd7031 Oh yeah, mine could be considered a juvenile now and started doing this a lot lately.
After each molt it decides the previous layout won't do anymore so need new decor, wider hallways etc... :D Amazing.
@@vedranb87Mine does this too. I feel bad for the people who keep these in shallow containers & the tarantula misses out on all of this burrowing.
MANY top channels have tons of these in too shallow of a container.
My curly hair only leaves his burrow to wait for food 😂
You can't go wrong with this one. Very underrated.
No doubt! Though my kid says like reminds him of pigpen for Peanuts...lol
the Tarantula Collective haha
So i get my paycheck tomorrow and my local shop has like 4 inch juveniles should I get one?
@@izak37w73 4 inches is pretty sizeable and may get pricy. But if you got the cash, sure.
Bryton you’re starting a habit.
i love how turantulas can have personalities. my curly hair is supposed to be chill but theyre actually a grump and its cute.
When I rehoused our curly hair I had a enclosure beautifully set up for him. A week later ripped out both of the fake plants knocked over his Tiki man and filled his water dish with substrate twice....hes kind of a jerk lol aside from that hes great
looks like youe spider is having a midlife crisis
He's just partying hard. . 😂 I hope.. 😝Will get my first one soon.. So we can party together 😜
I thought only mine do that. 🤣
@@softsnakes3300 😭😂
My curly hair also rips up her fake plants lol
I know nothing about Tarantulas. I found it in a plastic box on the streets of Berlin with a message from a person that couldn't take care of it with a few tips for feeding it only. I'm now trying to figure out for the first time how to take care of the curly hair. looks nice, and I hope it will survive in my hands.
Thanks for the video
oh wow..that tarantula is soooo lucky someone kind like you came around and found it! Thanks so much for taking this beautiful creature your care! If you even need any tips or advice, feel free to email me or send me a message on instagram or Facebook.
Sounds like the previous owners GF gave him an ultimatum.
How's the little guy doing
@@balisongman07 pretty good, and I love it :)
That's so sad, someone heartless could have killed it. The tarantula is so lucky you came by!
I own a curly hair and whenever I bring him up, people go “ew a tarantula?!” until I show them a picture of him. He’s so fuzzy and not scary at all.
He’s my first ever tarantula and doing alright, basing of what I’ve read. He’s buried himself for about 2 months now but I’ve heard it’s completely normal
Yeah...that's sounds like par for Curly hair course
Same here my guy, I rarely see mine lol
I just purchased one and kind of expected it to hide in the clay pot. It isn't. It is on the side near the top. I don't really know what I'm doing and I have no idea what normal behavior is for any tarantula. I hate this feeling
Damn arachnophobes
@@lizelliott6528 same with mine hiding on the cork bark instead of under it lol. Very shy and doesn’t want to eat anything
Video: And they're great ambassador tarantulas because they're so docile and rarely kick hairs
My curly hair: *_i would like your heart roasted on a spit_*
she's a little monster lol, flicking hairs, biting and holding onto my tongs when I try to feed her
I'm a huge arachnophobe. I never use to be bad but for some reason it gets worse every year. Took the plunge and got myself a couple of curly hairs. I got them for $5 each as slings so my experience can grow as they do. Right now they are not even an inch long. Even with my fear I can't help but be fascinated. Even though being phobic of slings is kind of pathetic I'm finding that the exposure is making want to explore the hobby more.
Definitely sub'd. Look forward to seeing your content and learning more.
I bet thse are some sweet looking T's now.
Voluntary exposure therapy! Very very mature and brave of you, I hope it got you to feel better!
Mine is actually a little high strung and definitely has thrown up a couple threat postures but that's kind of what I like about her.
Wow...that's impressive. Mine hasn't given me a threat pose...even when I was messing with it to get it on camera.. sometimes i have to direct them a little with a straw to get them on film. He was stubborn and didnt want to move, but never got defensive.
Mine's also on the high-strung side, but she's more skittish than anything. She frequently scuttles very quickly at the drop of a hat and can get a little unpredictable. Funny how even Ts can have such different personalities.
i have a kind curly hair and i miss the agression of my mexican fire leg but all in all hes so kind :)
My girl is 3.5 inches and her behavior is similar. Lol she has attitude. I love her but she kicked hairs at me during her last enclosure size up xD
Mine doesn't even bother giving me the threat poster, it just bites lol
I keep saying that i quit certain forum for Tarantula Keepers because their go-to advice was to keep my Brachypelma sling bone dry... This ended with the burrow the sling made collapsing as the sling was molting (I have no idea how but the sling somehow survived this).
Ever since I've been watering it's substrate a bit every 2 weeks or so to prevent it from happening again which was a no-no for people on that forum.
The spiderling is not complaining and is pushing it's 6th molt in my care.
So yeah - the advice to give them some moisture is good. Especially for slings which can dehydrate super fast.
I love how much variation in personality and behavior these guys exhibit! Reading the comments is always a joy because everyone’s is so different. My girl is about 7 years old and spends pretty much all day outside of her hides (she burrowed a lot when she was younger, but over the years she’s started to spend more time on the surface). So docile-even when hunting! She very casually strolls up to her prey and grabs. Barely even pounces.
She’s the perfect display tarantula, and while my family was really freaked out at first, now when they visit they actually ask to see her. It’s so rewarding to see how she’s helped my family become more comfortable with and respectful towards spiders.
Also, her tank is next to my loom and other weaving equipment. It’s always fun to see her laying down silk while I’m spinning or weaving some silk of my own. The best muse a fiber artist could ask for!
I love reading about other people's spiders too! Yours sounds like a treasure. The thought of both of you weaving next to each other is almost too much for my fairytale heart to handle. 🥹
My female recently figured out how to pounce on crickets, after 6 months of having her. Other than that, she's a mellow girl that likes to splash in her water dish.
I got a curly hair after my red toed passed and I am absolutely loving them so far!
How’s it going?
If ur comfortable. Your tarantula is comfortable?
Got it !
I understand the assignment !
😌
• comfy pillows💚
• chocolatey coffee latte☕
• audiobook or creepypasta📚
• crochet 🧶
I just got one as my first tarantula and I love her (I never thought I would say that about a tarantula, lol) thanks to you! Your amazing videos have opened my eyes to the hobby and I sincerely thank you for showing me this incredible new world. I can definitely see myself building up a nice little collection. Thank you again and I look forward to your future videos!
This is the video that made me want a tarantula. Now I have my own hobby type curly hair and I love her 🕷🕷🕷
Tliltocatl albopilosus 🤘🏽 My first tarantula ♥️ I’ve had her a week today and she’s already eaten for me and spends some time out of her burrow. Thanks for this care and husbandry video Richard!
A number of years ago I inherited a marvelous "Mexican Red Knee" adult from a younger brother. I had her for about 3 years and really enjoyed her as a pet...and I did handle her pretty often..which she did not seem to mind. Now I have decided to get back into the hobby and I just ordered a "Curly Hair" from a local pet store. Looking forward to raising this T. Love your channel.
I just ordered a Tliltocatl albopilosum - 3" - 4" - Confirmed Females - Curly Hair from pinchers & pokies and I ordered a Poecilotheria metallica (Gooty Sapphire Ornamental Tarantula) 1" + × 1 from fear not Tarantula to go with my Avic Pink toe. I am so excited!!
*Tliltocatl* can you believe it?!
I love my albos, they're one of my absolute favorite tarantulas :')
No! What?
Taking in a baby curly hair tomorrow from someone who needs to re-home it! Really appreciate your channel 🙏🏻
I just want to say that this is the most underrated tarantula channel on CZcams. Always so informative and entertaining. Very professional. Keep up the good work brother! God bless you man!
I got one as a freebie today along with a GBB. I was thinking of keeping it at work on my desk and this basically solidified my decision!
Desk spiders are the best!
This is exactly the T I’m looking for! I don’t live in US so I really hope I can get it! Thanks for all this information.
We just got our first curly hair today at an expo. My daughter and I learned tons from your videos and supplemented with other research on them. We already have several more picked out.
Love the new breakdown of your videos.
I’ve had my adult female Nicaraguan T albo nearly 8 months now and she was my very first tarantula and it’s your video that started it all for me so thank you Richard for your easy care and husbandry videos and also your FB group of which is great 👍
A breeder is gifting me a curly hair tarantula and I couldn't be happier with this! I'm so excited for getting the 1 year old!
Great video 👍🏻 got my first tarantula , a curly haired and just your one video so far I’ve learned a lot . Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Just got one of these super excited, this video is very helpful thanks
Awesome info, just got me first spider and this helped answer some questions I had. Thanks for the info. You rock
Wow thanks, I just got mines 2 days ago and your videos are very cool and helpful..... keep them coming
Love the videos ! Cheers 🍻
This is the species that made me fall in love with all spiders
Just got one today. My first tarantula finally. Absolutely love this little guy
I just ordered 1 and I can not wait to get it and after watching this video I feel so much better!
thank you richard for doing these awesome tarantula videos. my hamorii and albopilosus slings have finally came and thanks to you and many other tarantula youtubers i know how to care for them and i can watch them grow and become beautiful big spiders. so thank you for making these helpful and informative videos for both new and experienced keepers. your channel deserves millions of subs and is so underrated
i've got 21 of these guys and they're amazing. love them all.
Awesome care guide!
I just got my first tarantula today and it's a curly hair juvenile! Thanks for the great advice!
I loved this video, I appreciate how dense it was in information as well as how it was expressed what the creator does and not declaring that this is the one and only right way to do it. Very informative!
I love my curly hair he is so sweet he never kicks hairs and his personality is laid back and happy
One of my favorites and another great video!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I got my first Tarantula today and from your advice I got this species 😊
Hello Richard 🙂 My best friend and I just created a YT channel. We are two passioante T keepers. Just last sunday I (Mirjana) purchased a T. Albo and I'm so happy with her!☺️ She's a juvenile and even though I was very well informed about the Albos (my best f. Dan has one too) your video was extremely helpful! Great work! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a professional way 🙏
One of the things I really like about you..you keep the enclosures so clean and orderly. Lots of other stuff to like and admire but that is an important to me. You and Daves Little Beasties are one the top 3 for me and that is one important reason👍☺
OMG this video is so helpfull. I know it is old but it really help me not be to very nervous! I have ordered a curly sling, it is going to be my first tarantula I am going to keep! The video is very helpfull and makes me more excited then nervous.
A Enlightenment Channel.
And useful for Vital Info.
I Love the Vibrant Setup for the Video format
But most of all Educational Purpose on T's
Amazing!
I was able to discover the Breed & Characteristic of my T's
Hi Richard. Greetings from the UK. Thanks so much for your most interesting videos regarding all types of Tarantula. I've finally decided after 30 odd years of liking these T's, to take the plunge and dive into the hobby.
I've just bought a Tlitocatl Albopilosus, Curly Hair spiderling and she is just so gorgeous. Your video is so informative on all the husbandry you'll ever need to know plus you are entertaining to watch. Thank you for all the visual advice as a "newbie" to this great hobby
Hi I have been watching your videos for the last two weeks and u have taught me a lot about curly hair Tarantula I love your videos
Thanks so much...glad you enjoy them and find them helpful.
i just adopted this species as my first T and shes absolutely a shy little girl who likes to dig deep burrows, so im happy to know i set up her enclosure right just on instinct 🥺💗
Everything he said is on point! I have a curly hair I raised since he was a sling. He's such a sweetheart, has never kicked hairs at me and has never done a threat pose.
Stunning video as always! I keep giving you the same compliments cuz you keep producing outstanding material! I sometimes rewatch vids just for the music lol
thank you my friend!
I just bought my spidering Honduran Curly haired from Fear Not Tarantula in VA Beach yesterday and this video has been quite helpful so far! Thank you guys for all of this useful information and I hope to keep learning, along with adding others to my wife and I's collection. Blessed be, Oh Spider Master!
Looked this vid specifically after i rehoused my albo juvi. I think its gunna molt soon so i lightly misted, cleaned the water dish & set her by my desk lamp for a couple of hours, it raised her temperature only 3 degrees, but hey, its a little warmer. She definitely enjoyed it too, walking around and getting a big drink.
Thanks for your videos, truly love this channel 🤘
Just got my first terantula today for me an my family an it’s a curly hair. Now I think I’m hooked. Thanks for the great vids
Great informative video again , thank you very much bud , I can't wait to get one of these
I love the enclosure you use for the one at work 🖤🕷
Thanks. I'm gonna have to make a video one day on how I make those. I get a lot of compliments.
Just got into tarantula keeping and discovered this channel. Was suprised pleasantly by the high quality and informativeness! Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot! Glad you found my channel!
I'm looking for a new hobby and for some reason keeping tarantulas came to my mind and so far alot of ppl tell me this one is the absolute best to start with thanks this was really helpful 😊
My fave species! Thank you for highlighting them.
Mine used to be sooo skittish, she literally ran around her enclosure even when I turned on the lights in the room, while the rest couldn't care less. Used to kick hairs, too, but never actually threat-postured. It was hard even to feed her, I had to leave food there for a few hours until she was relaxed enough to hunt. Scaredy-cat.
Now she got used to me occasionally testing her patience, I guess. She's even fine being handled. Doesn't kick hairs, moves wherever I gently push her, and never shows any sings of threat.
Became my calmest T so far. What a way to go.
This is the tarantula that got me into keeping!!! Thank you for your well put together videos. Always love watching!!!! Beautiful t!!!
On my wish list for sure!❤
DUDE this is exactly what I needed
Just stumbled across your channel; super useful videos and they are really well filmed too!
Thanks a lot Lynn...I am still learning to film and edit...i try to learn something new in each video so they will get better with time. I just started making videos about a year ago. I had never used a camera other than my smart phone before that. So it is definitely a learning process.
My girl is insanely fast, grumpy and cute as fluff. She's a brilliant home decor designer and will spend hours just carrying around and carefully relocating substrate. She will NOT tolerate anyone handeling her, so we don't do that. She spends most of her days just chilling in her burrow, and isn't a very active eater. She'll eat about one cricket a month but she looks plump, healthy and active. I named her Fluffy.
Just purchased one yesterday…. I obviously have a lot of work to do. Starting with a proper enclosure. I think I can really get into this👍🏿
I have my first tarantula, I brought home a curly hair sling from the petshop whilst buying crickets for my jumping spider. I thought I brought home a terrestrial spider, but he spends most of his time on the wall or top of his enclosure!! He will burrow when spooked though. So cute :) can't wait to watch him grow up, if all goes well.
Hey Richard, loved your vid, very helpful info, music dropped nicely with your commentary, I have 9 true curly hairs, need to rehome a few, looking forwards to the next vid, keep up the amazing work😉👍
Thanks! Glad you like it. I spend way too much time picking out music and trying to sync it up with commentary and footage..especially since I think most people dont consciously notice it...but I like it when I watch a video that does that...so I try to make videos that I would enjoy watching. It is cool to hear someone else say they appreciate those little details as well. So thank you :)
Love the shirt!❤️💙💚💛🧡
Thanks for the video man. I wanna start collecting tarantulas and I heard this T was one of the best starters and after this incredibly insightful video I think I'm gonna get one. Wish me luck! 🤣
Man, what a fantastic video
SO PROFESIONAL
I'll suscribe
Wow, thanks!
I’ve just bought my first tarantula and went for a curly hair! Thank you so much for this in depth video this has helped me a lot! 🖤

This is fantastic, it is a Curly that my daughter got for her birthday (the girl in the Sally costume sent to your Instagram) this is such an fantastic video and was great for her to watch, just after feeding hers! She's posted a comment below :

These sweeties are so precious! Definitely my first choice for a beginner tarantula! Thanks for the video, you’re very informative!!
glad you liked it...they are an awesome tarantula. Did you see that they just changed the classificatino of this t? it is n o longer a Brachypelma..now it is Tliltocatl albopilosum
Love my albos. Very underrated T in my opinion. :)
Thank you for all your videos. I’ve been studying and watching them for a while and it gave me the knowledge & courage to get my first T. I’ve gotten a Aphonopelma Seemanni and she is awesome to care for. Thank you for getting me into the hobby!
that is awesome to hear Scott! and welcome to the hobby! that is an awesome t you got there and i hope to have a video on that species in the not to distant future!
Sweet video my friend. This was my first ever T and she’s still going strong. Very active and great fun to own
Thank you. This species is very cool for sure. Not my first, but definitely a great beginner species.
Great video! I'll be getting one of these soon, so I was especially interested.
