    had to stop the video i was laughing so hard, "you can chew it", think you might underestimate how good it is for us newbie to watch an experienced keeper doing rehouses it really helps nail down the little things that help us all alot.oh and happy birthday for whenever it was

    Happy birthday Tom. By the way , at the 5 min mark, the correct pronunciation for “birupes” is “bee-roo-pez “. “biru” means “blue” in the Malay language of Malaysia which is where the spider originated from

      Hello, Desmond! Thank you so much for the correction! I was so focused on trying to get the species part right, that I didn't even think to check the genus. Thank you!

    @moodring42 Před 4 lety +15

    It’s strangely comforting to know you’re freaked out by tiny slings. I got K brunnipes slings and lost them and worried about them constantly. They’re still itty bitty, but they’re starting to look like k brunnipes now, and they don’t get lost under dirt specks. It makes me feel oddly proud, but maybe I should save that feeling for when I actually see them through to adulthood. I hope you had a lovely birthday.

    • @TomsBigSpiders
      @TomsBigSpiders  Před 4 lety +3

      Oh, TOTALLY. I have the most difficult time keeping track of them! I totally get it! Hopefully, your K. brunnipes continues to put on the size for you. And I don't blame you for feeling proud! Thank you!

    Happy belated birthday Tom! Love your videos. I actually prefer slings, nothing better than watching them grow, and they are so cute when they are so tiny. As I'm from Australia, I can only get aussie tarantulas and the most affordable ones are slings. I got my first sling in December and it's already doubled in size. Can't wait to see future videos of your cute babies.

    • @TomsBigSpiders
      @TomsBigSpiders  Před 4 lety +1

      Hello, Janice! Thank you very much! I agree with you 100%...slings are all I buy because I love growing them up. I LOVE your Aussie Ts, and wish that we had more in the states. Which species did you get? Congrats on joining the hobby, by the way! Thank you!

    • @janiceswale9092
      @janiceswale9092 Před 4 lety +1

      Hi Tom! Thank you! If it wasn't for your informative videos I wouldn't be so confident with owning a T. I would also LOVE to own some of the beautiful T's that you do, however, our laws here don't allow it. Actually I'm lucky I live in Victoria, and not Tasmania, they don't allow T's there at all. I bought a Selenotypus sp. Exevale, as when I was looking at what I could buy, wanted something smaller than a Phlogius T, I also had a little fear to get over. At the start of this year I bought a Phlogius sp. Goliath, I nickname this one Golly, this little dear just loves galloping across the container and up the walls in a blink of an eye every time I feed it. I probably should have a smaller container for this sling, but with how fast it is I'm glad that at the time I got it, could only house it in a too big container. I've also noticed the Selenotypus T's have a more chunky abdomen compared with the Phlogius T's which is probably why it's so fast. I have also become a little obsessed with the different colours you can get in both types and now have 9 Phlogius species and 11 Selenotypus species with colours that range from blonde to black. I did buy one juvenile a Selenotypus sp. Champagne Robusta, I only see this T at feeding time whereas the slings I see a lot more. Thank you again for your great videos, when I noticed my Exevale was going to moult, I wasn't as nervous as I might have been had I not watched your moulting video.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video and a big Happy Birthday to you ! You made the statement that if you rehoused all of them that people would get bored - no way - I would watch for as long as it takes because I have a blast listening to your pronunciation of the species LOL and I totally enjoy listening to you because you have a wonderful knowledge of the T’s and a marvelous sense of humor !!!

    • @TomsBigSpiders
      @TomsBigSpiders  Před 4 lety

    Congrats on starting genus Megaphobema! They are absolutely amazing and I'm considering driving to Germany to pick up a M. velvetosoma. M. mesomelas should definitely be on your list, mine is my absolute favorite, such a beautiful spider.
    Also, try to watch out for the (in-) famous kick that robustum does. It is hilarious!
