Thanks for checking out this weeks episode! It was a lot of fun filming...I saw her more while making this video than i have since I fkrst got her as a sling. Check out the new promo video I put together last night while waiting for this video to render: ruclips.net/video/Cl2fOdw1Jys/видео.html
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Dash Karson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I have to say brother this is one of the best videos I have seen for a balfouri I finally went and bought my first one today and I also keep deadly spiders as well Brazilian wondering spiders funnel web spider brown recluse spider wolf spiders six eyed sand spiders camel spiders keep up the great work
Good day a have a question I have a egg sac from my M.balfouries just want to find out more or less how many weeks before I can expect them to hatch sorry i'm new to the hobby and just asking for some info
This is super random, but I absolutely love the chill, pleasant music that you have in this video! So many exotic pet channels seem to think that they need to have AGGRESSIVE music for their AGGRESSIVE animals and it's really silly, the calm yet mysterious music that you chose highlights your beautiful spider so well :)
Thank you so much. I spend a lot of time listening to tracks and finding the right music (I'm kind of a musicophile) and usually the only time anyone notices or comments about the music is to complain...lol.
Once again my favourite spider guy blows my mind with another amazing video. I dont know how you do it bro but you consistently pump out great video and content. Long live the collective
Thanks a lot my friend...you rock and I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Next week will be the 52nd weekly episode of Tarantula Tuesday! That's one solid year of Tarantula Tuesday uploads! I didnt think I'd make it...lol
love the balfouri! think ive watched 3 vids on this sp today alone lol. ive got a communal of 10 and 2 that live alone. all are still just above sling size and its a pleasure watching them grow and age, like a fine wine!
@@FostersPets 😂 well, I plan to have something around 36 in one enclosure. Too much running around with 100 :D Also, my fiance would kill me twice or maybe three times 😅
@@FostersPets yup. I finally bought P. rufilata (my first poe and rufilata is the one I always wanted), and 3 next days I was sleeping on the couch in living room. :|
Now that's what I call timing! I placed an order for a communal yesterday this will be my first time having an old world. But I did do research. Thank you for putting out quality content!
My favorite species of tarantula ever! I recently purchased 6 babies that I put into a small communal and as far as I know they're all doing OK still. I plan to check on them at the one year mark
We need more of these! I love watching them and now that im getting serious in the hobby there are a few species I really want to see a care video for!
Ive dived in and bought 8 juveniles for a communal. Only my third old world T but Im really excited. They are very skittish so Im hoping they calm down before they are due to be rehoused. Just a T nut me. Thanks for the video, you really do put a lot of effort into these.
Very humble there at the end man with your shoutouts too. Love your vids. I’ve been seeing this at my exotic pet store and am now pretty set on getting it 😂 so this is helpful. You and dark den made me buy a total of 7 tarantulas now. All slings but one. Your videos are very helpful man and your personality really makes this channel stand apart great editing shots angles and everything man the videos always look so good. 👍🏻👍🏻
Your photography is ASTOUNDING!! You need to show the Discovery Channel your art. I love everybody's tarantula pages but yours is something special. That shot of your girl walking through the foggy Mist was just amazing.
Thanks! That's very cool of you to say! I was digging the little fogger too. Now I just gotta keep coming up with different shots to keep things fresh.. lol
I’ve just managed to buy a FEMALE of these with a beautiful glass enclosure for £30! An absolute bargain seeing as here in the uk the T alone is £70 for a confirmed female. So over the moon with her, been on my wish list for over a year now, yours s my ‘go too’ channel for all things T related, keep doing what your doing Richard 🕷️💜🕷️💜🕷️
I really felt your video was informative! Im looking to get my first T and my eyes are drawn to this specific T!!! Im learning everything I can before I message the breeder! I also have two bearded dragons I rescued! Super needy(wouldn't change it). Want to add this spider to my art room for company🤣. I also have a dubia roach farm. Saves me so much $$$!
I finally got some myself for my birthday. A guy I meet through IG had some babies for sale. So I got me 2 of them and rehoused them communally as well. 2i’s at the moment. A great gift to myself huh Richard? I can’t wait to experience these beautiful species as they grow
your videos are always so high-quality! i love the shots that you get and the editing. i dont think i can keep a communal because i like to know that they all eat lol. i’d be so paranoid not knowing who ate 🤣
I love this Tarantula! I have one and her name is Snowball, shes so sweet and easy to rehouse. I really should've gotten a bulk order of these. I feel like mine would probably be a little more active if she had company. A great baboon for someone who want's to get into old worlds and not too difficult to care for.
They really are...and with all the filming, lights and me gently directing her around the table...not a single threat pose, strike or really fast bolts. She was very well behaved, considering.
I really love your videos. So informative and straight to the point and you never think you are better than others and such a calm cool guy. You put so much into your videos. Tarantula collective. Tom's and Exotics Liar is my top 3. Also like Tarantula Kat and Dark Den. They ok too. From Renier from South Africa. Keep up the good work Superman.
Awesome video! I got a communal of 10 slings back in October last year, mostly always see 3-5 out at once, I’ve also got a solo juvie that I very rarely see! Great info, Thanks for sharing this 🤘🏼🤘🏼
love my single M. balfouri - first OW and as a juvenile it seems to be a decent choice. My B. albiceps was more of a terror to rehouse than the balfouri haha
Do enjoy viewing this specimen, very gorgeous indeed! Been watching your videos a while now man, keep it up. I look forward to Tuesdays for TTuesdays xD Ive been keeping T's for about 6 months now, I have a T. Stirmi, L. Para, 2 mexican red knees, 3 curlys and a Pterenopelma Sazamai and wondered if you could do a video on them? The P. Sazamai, would be awesome to see and also to know if you have one, didnt see it in the list of your T's, keep it up again man, you're badass
I've done videos on the Theraphosa stirmi, Lasiodora parahybana, and the Curly Hair Tarantula (Tliltocatl albopilosum). I plan on covering the Mexican Red Knee soon but it very similar to the Brachypelma boehmei video I have already done. I do have a P. sazimai but she is in very pre molt right now, so I'm waiting til after she molts and is bright and beautiful to do a video on that species.
@@tarantulacollective yeah man ive watched em all about 4 times to ensure im doin it all right! Was mainly the Sazamai I was curious of, as not many husandry videos on the species. Would be cool to see one from you as they're so informative, it'll be a good intro to the youtube search!
Wow. Thanks for this info. I tried to mate my male & female M.Balf earlier but my male was very skittish. It was my first ever attemp to breed a tarantula. I’ll try again tomorrow. 😅
Great video Richard. One of my absolute favourites. We have a few breeding projects with these guys this year and are planning a new super communal of these guys this year. Looking forward to that.
Wow I want a female. I have least a 20gal feeder tank. I did have a rose, but am looking for something new, but docile as well. She seems perfect for me. Where would I find one? Thank Mike.
Could you do a video on a chilobrachys sp violet? I recently purchased one and can't find much on its care, the internet says it's an "Indian violet" but the breeder labelled it as a "Vietnamese violet" which doesn't seem to be a thing? Any help and tips would be great though!!
I recently got a brachypelma hamorii (Mexican red knee) as my first tarantula and I would love if you made a video about your input, their care, husbandry, and history seeing as there are a really iconic species and tend to be recommended as beginner tarantula. I’ve done my research but I still feel like there is a lack of appropriate care information on them.
I recently got into the hobby. I have a 210 6x2’ tank I’ve never set up for my fish but now I want to fill it with T’s. Is that too big? Or how many should I do? Not rushing into it. I’m going to increase my experience for sure beforehand
At what size do you consider them as juvenile? I purchased a small enclosure set up with four balfouri that the pet store labeled as slings, but they are about an inch and a quarter or so. They are eating well and have burrowed down the back of the enclosure and have been doing some webbing above their entrance. They are amazing to watch at night.
I learn so much in this vidoes. I startet a couple months ago to watch vids from Exotics Lair and The Dark Den and I enjoed so much that I get soon my first T. It´s so exiting to learn about every new T I see. I literally create my onw care & husbandry sheets for species that could be my first. Grammostola pulchripes and Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens are most likley my first T. The grow not so fast and maybe a Brachipelma species that grows slow. The balfouri is so pretty and comes to my list for first old world, when I have expirience with Ts in general. It´s advisable to start with 3 Tarantulas at once? I feel I can do it and I want them to have a good life on my side.
Awesome tarantuals one my favourites can't help my self lot times have too have like buy 5s and 10s same species lot time buy another bulk big order excatly same species too
I recently received an m balfouri in the mail and it was SUPER defensive. Multiple threat postures and bit my catch cup multiple times. It’s about 1.5inches. It’s very pretty and an awesome spider. Is it normal for them to be like that after being mailed? I feel like it was either really stressed out from the traveling or has a different temperament from the usual balfouri
Hey! Would you recommend a heat lamp for this species? I have an adult male . My room has an average of 68 - 70F. Some say that you should have an heat lamp on for a few our a day. Also another thing I noticed is that he wont eat very often. Sometimes for more than 2 weeks. Ive read that these species can behave very differently when being kept alone instaed of a communal. And there was no mold so far (I have mine since last October) Do you have any experience with that? Thank you very much in advance! Greetings from Germany
Hi im buying my first tarantula it’s a female sub adult for 85 dollars. I am afraid of spiders but love watching tarantulas lol I want to just keep it in my room as something to look at and admire. I heard these are very low maintenance so it’s good for beginner? Also heard this breed ISNT really aggressive ?
I just got my first tarantula, N. incei, last Thursday. The label on it said it had last been fed on 8/11, and here it was 8/18. My pet shop was supposed to get fruit flies on Friday, so I initially had thought I could tough it out for one day without food (bad planning on my part), so I went to PetSmart, which did not have any fruit flies either, so I ended up getting a can of mealworms. I put in one worm, and my spider at some point was standing over it, so s/he knew it was there. Either Thursday night or sometime Friday, I noticed my spider, Van Horne, was upside down, which I thought strange until I later suspected s/he might be molting. When I looked up about molting and realized that was what I might have witnessed, I looked in Van Horne's enclosure and found what appears to be the molted skin. Yesterday morning, 3 days after Van Horne's arrival and 10 days since the last feeding by the seller, I saw that the mealworm was gone. I found it this morning, and it does appear to have been eaten from, and I threw out the remains. This is a learning process, and what is causing me the most worry is figuring out the rhythm of feeding. I still don't have fruit flies (irresponsible on my part, and annoying on the part of my pet shop), but hopefully I'll have them tomorrow. One more thing to note is that my wife won't let me start getting more enclosures in the house, but I have read that incei are communal (not that I'd get more than another one or two), and I mentioned this in a facebook group, which kicked off a huge debate whether they are or aren't, so I guess I'll just stick with Van Horne for now.
If you can't get fruit flies that is okay. I have an entire video on different things to feed tiny slings when fruit flies aren't available: ruclips.net/video/8NOWj_tlUoA/видео.html
I'm hoping to start a communal of these one day, I have an old Exo Terra habisphere (sadly discontinued 😭) that I think would be a beautiful display enclosure for something like that.
If possible, I'd love to see a video on Megaphobema Robustum since I just bought female. I've done research but still isn't alot of information on it that is new.
I will try. My species mature out male and died about a year ago and I havent been able to add another to my collection yet, but I'm hoping to maybe get one in March at the Tinley NARBC.

Im so excited to get this spider since im from socotra island but i moved to uae
I have to say brother this is one of the best videos I have seen for a balfouri I finally went and bought my first one today and I also keep deadly spiders as well Brazilian wondering spiders funnel web spider brown recluse spider wolf spiders six eyed sand spiders camel spiders keep up the great work
I love that shot of the tarantula walking out of the fog
Omg same, it's perfect
Absolutely beautiful!
Me to it looks so good
It is just H2O, it is water vapor that comes from a repti fogger made for raising the humidity in reptile enclosures.
Good day a have a question I have a egg sac from my M.balfouries just want to find out more or less how many weeks before I can expect them to hatch sorry i'm new to the hobby and just asking for some info

The fog footage is so iconic whenever balfouris are mentioned I immediately think of that shot
I used to have arachnophobia, but when it comes to tarantulas I just love them.
Just bought a set of 5 as a communal group, our first tarantulas. We’re super excited to have them and experience what they offer.
I rehoused mine yesterday.. such a beauty! I found it less challenging then my hamorri rehouse lol..
All my questions about this species answered in one video. awesome! Thank you !
I just bought my juvenile female balfouri today. I will be following these tips to care for mine. Thanks!
Once again my favourite spider guy blows my mind with another amazing video. I dont know how you do it bro but you consistently pump out great video and content. Long live the collective
Thanks a lot my friend...you rock and I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Next week will be the 52nd weekly episode of Tarantula Tuesday! That's one solid year of Tarantula Tuesday uploads! I didnt think I'd make it...lol
Just brought my first m.balfouri on Sunday and I absolutely love it already, the colours are just so beautiful.
Might be my new favourite T
one of my favorite species ever! for some reason youtube unsuscribed me to your channel, but here I am again :D
love the balfouri! think ive watched 3 vids on this sp today alone lol. ive got a communal of 10 and 2 that live alone. all are still just above sling size and its a pleasure watching them grow and age, like a fine wine!
I have almost the same situation. Communal of 11 and 2 that live in their own enclosures :) Lucky number 13 (the number 13 was a gift from my friend)
Gentle Lion I would have a hundred if I had space lol. I call the communal mega city 1 after judge dredds city lol
@@FostersPets 😂 well, I plan to have something around 36 in one enclosure. Too much running around with 100 :D Also, my fiance would kill me twice or maybe three times 😅
Gentle Lion haha same here, my wife is not a fan of old worlds and I had to sneak mega city one in when I picked them up haha.
@@FostersPets yup. I finally bought P. rufilata (my first poe and rufilata is the one I always wanted), and 3 next days I was sleeping on the couch in living room. :|
These shots are incredible, I loved the touch of smoke screen , really set the stage 🔥👍🏿😎
You are becoming one of my favourite youtubers man
Thanks. 😎
It is so cool that they will share food!
Absolutely one of my favorite tarantulas!
Now that's what I call timing! I placed an order for a communal yesterday this will be my first time having an old world. But I did do research. Thank you for putting out quality content!
Missed this type of videos. Thanks
I bought my first communal on Sunday!
getting my first communal this weekend :) very excited. thanks for the great content bro.
The timing of this video was PERFECT! I just picked up my first M. balfouri a couple days ago. Thank you!
Awesome! Congrats on your new t!
I didn't waiting for this video for a whole year. Thanks😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗
Awesome! You're welcome. I hope you liked it and it was worth the wait.

Great Info. And Amazing Close up shots!!
I love your videos! One of my first T’s, she’s at 5” and still going strong.
Awesome species. One of the most intriguing baboons I've owned. Amazing colors too, and it even comes out early
You mentioned "other videos" would be linked in the description but I don't see them. Thank you for all your great videos!
Great video Richard 👍🏻😎 almost 20000 subs now which is very well deserved 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’ve just managed to buy a FEMALE of these with a beautiful glass enclosure for £30! An absolute bargain seeing as here in the uk the T alone is £70 for a confirmed female. So over the moon with her, been on my wish list for over a year now, yours s my ‘go too’ channel for all things T related, keep doing what your doing Richard 🕷️💜🕷️💜🕷️
I have been waiting for this video and also love yours video
Great Video My Guy! We May Be Getting One Of These Soon!
Just got one yesterday, very beautiful up close
one of my favorites!
I just rehomed my 18 monosentropus balfouri into a
45 x 30cm exo terra, they're loving it
Superb Richard 👍🏽
Thanks Lee!
I really felt your video was informative! Im looking to get my first T and my eyes are drawn to this specific T!!! Im learning everything I can before I message the breeder! I also have two bearded dragons I rescued! Super needy(wouldn't change it). Want to add this spider to my art room for company🤣. I also have a dubia roach farm. Saves me so much $$$!

💚💙Balfouri!!💚💙
Great video!! Great footage!!
Thanks dude
Fog walker...pretty boss video shot
Great video as always. This gave me the push to get my own balfouri communal setup with 5 slings, love 'em!
YES I am so excited for this video! I'm not ready for a communal yet, but one day I'd love to have an M. balfouri communal!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful species. I could imagine getting one as my first old world T.
They really are...and with all the filming, lights and me gently directing her around the table...not a single threat pose, strike or really fast bolts. She was very well behaved, considering.
Awesome video Richard.
Thanks to ALL MORE BLESSING, SPIDERS, !!! BKESSING TO US "!!!*****
This is what I've been waiting for.
God every breed that i need to understand is in your page !!! Love your vids!
Thanks so much. Glad you find the videos helpful!
Did you made the intro song? I really like it the most epic intro song on YT , it's 🔥 fireee
Thank you Richard for the awesome video!!!!!! I have a communial of 12 from 5 sacs!!!! Such a amazing species of tarantulas
That's awesome!

After I watched this I knew I needed to get this T hahaha thank you for the content richard! 😁

Hey love all your videos !!! When they molt can you keep them together? Greatings from Belgium
Wow. Thanks for this info. I tried to mate my male & female M.Balf earlier but my male was very skittish. It was my first ever attemp to breed a tarantula. I’ll try again tomorrow. 😅
Awesome....good luck!
Please do a care and husbandry video on Pelinobius Muticus (King Baboon).
Im about to get one too. Great channel!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy the videos and congrats on getting an awesome new species!
How about a video on Pamphobeteus Antinous next?
Dude! I just realized… This music is the same as the Book of Boba Fett intro! And this video came out years before that show 😱
Great video Richard. One of my absolute favourites. We have a few breeding projects with these guys this year and are planning a new super communal of these guys this year. Looking forward to that.
Wow I want a female. I have least a 20gal feeder tank. I did have a rose, but am looking for something new, but docile as well. She seems perfect for me. Where would I find one?

Hopefully I will get 10 of them for myself as a graduation present haha

My tank setup is wrong.thanx for the info.now i know
I recently got into the hobby. I have a 210 6x2’ tank I’ve never set up for my fish but now I want to fill it with T’s. Is that too big? Or how many should I do? Not rushing into it. I’m going to increase my experience for sure beforehand
Where do you find some of your smaller enclosures for your slings ,and juvies ?? I get most of mine from The Container Store. Any ideas ?
I get mine from the container store, hobby shops like Michael's and Hobby Lobby, and I have some listed on my Amazon Storefront.
I just picked up a sling of one the other week
At what size do you consider them as juvenile? I purchased a small enclosure set up with four balfouri that the pet store labeled as slings, but they are about an inch and a quarter or so. They are eating well and have burrowed down the back of the enclosure and have been doing some webbing above their entrance. They are amazing to watch at night.

It´s advisable to start with 3 Tarantulas at once? I feel I can do it and I want them to have a good life on my side.
Awesome tarantuals one my favourites can't help my self lot times have too have like buy 5s and 10s same species lot time buy another bulk big order excatly same species too
Getting 5 of these today to trade for a male GBB cant wait to add them to my collection
I recently received an m balfouri in the mail and it was SUPER defensive. Multiple threat postures and bit my catch cup multiple times. It’s about 1.5inches. It’s very pretty and an awesome spider. Is it normal for them to be like that after being mailed? I feel like it was either really stressed out from the traveling or has a different temperament from the usual balfouri
Juhu today i get one of this 😍🤩
i would like to see Heteroscodra maculata care & husbandry
Do you have videos on how to rehouse spiders new and old world types ? Iv never owned a tarantula.
Hey!
Would you recommend a heat lamp for this species? I have an adult male . My room has an average of 68 - 70F.
Some say that you should have an heat lamp on for a few our a day.
Also another thing I noticed is that he wont eat very often. Sometimes for more than 2 weeks. Ive read that these species can behave very differently when being kept alone instaed of a communal. And there was no mold so far (I have mine since last October)
Do you have any experience with that?
Thank you very much in advance!

My pet shop was supposed to get fruit flies on Friday, so I initially had thought I could tough it out for one day without food (bad planning on my part), so I went to PetSmart, which did not have any fruit flies either, so I ended up getting a can of mealworms. I put in one worm, and my spider at some point was standing over it, so s/he knew it was there.
Either Thursday night or sometime Friday, I noticed my spider, Van Horne, was upside down, which I thought strange until I later suspected s/he might be molting. When I looked up about molting and realized that was what I might have witnessed, I looked in Van Horne's enclosure and found what appears to be the molted skin.
Yesterday morning, 3 days after Van Horne's arrival and 10 days since the last feeding by the seller, I saw that the mealworm was gone. I found it this morning, and it does appear to have been eaten from, and I threw out the remains.
This is a learning process, and what is causing me the most worry is figuring out the rhythm of feeding. I still don't have fruit flies (irresponsible on my part, and annoying on the part of my pet shop), but hopefully I'll have them tomorrow.
One more thing to note is that my wife won't let me start getting more enclosures in the house, but I have read that incei are communal (not that I'd get more than another one or two), and I mentioned this in a facebook group, which kicked off a huge debate whether they are or aren't, so I guess I'll just stick with Van Horne for now.
If you can't get fruit flies that is okay. I have an entire video on different things to feed tiny slings when fruit flies aren't available: ruclips.net/video/8NOWj_tlUoA/видео.html
I'm hoping to start a communal of these one day, I have an old Exo Terra habisphere (sadly discontinued 😭) that I think would be a beautiful display enclosure for something like that.
If possible, I'd love to see a video on Megaphobema Robustum since I just bought female. I've done research but still isn't alot of information on it that is new.
I will try. My species mature out male and died about a year ago and I havent been able to add another to my collection yet, but I'm hoping to maybe get one in March at the Tinley NARBC.
@@tarantulacollective Awesome! Hope you get one in March then! They are beautiful!
MOAR T TUESDAY!! :D
I have about the same size enclosure you have for your juvies/communal slings, could i use that to house 2 belfouris? Or should i go smaller?
Awesome footage! I love the intro music, get's me every time 🤘 greetings from Germany 🕷
