      Hi Richard,
      Do you have any videos on Ceratogyrus Meridionalis The Zimbabwe Grey Baboon? Be that a mini documentary like this, or a general husbandry video?
      Love the channel

    Okay now that I've finished the video, I have to applaud you again 👏👏 . You wrote this so well and should be so proud of your work! I LOVED the line about the human and non-human protectors of the island. Great work! If you don't already call yourself a documentarian, well, I think you can add that title to your resume 👏

    I really appreciate these documentary-style videos you've been doing more of. As always, the footage is incredible. It's clear and detailed and it's very apparent that one of your big interests is photography/videography.

    I like these videos, they are very pleasing. However, I would love to see more "casual" videos where you talk about a topic, do a top ten, unboxing, rehousing, expo, etc. I really like when it feels like we are there in the room with you and just hanging out while you do something tarantula related

    • @tarantulacollective
      @tarantulacollective  Před 20 dny +3

      I hear you. I have 406 videos on my channel. 19 videos are in a similar style to this video and only 10 videos are nature doc videos like this. So the wide majority of my content is exactly the type of video you are requesting. I have most of my content organized in playlists by the style of video. So if you are wanting some unboxing videos, expo tours, feeding videos, care videos, top 10 lists, etc....there is a playlist for each of them. With over 400 videos available right now, I am sure there is a lot of content you haven't had a chance to watch yet that would be right up your alley! Here is a link to the playlist page so you can check it out: www.youtube.com/@tarantulacollective/playlists

    I actually have a question on the Balfouris. Is it alright to introduce multiple specimens to a commune when they are already adults, sub adults, or juveniles? Or is it strictly only specimens that were together from the beginning?

    • @jessp4016
      @jessp4016 Před 17 dny

      I'm not super experienced but I've read they need to have grown up together or else they'll be territorial.

      Who is traveling to Socotra to to collect a spider easily found in the US for $40-50 and Europe for $15-20? If those people do exist I highly doubt they are scrolling CZcams comments.
