- Our first video of our first unboxing :D
Here is the link to the Cobalt Blur rehoming video that we did the very next day :) enjoy
• Cobalt Blue Enclosure ...
and here is a video of her feeding
• Cuddles did some rearr...
She seems calm. I laughed when you jumped when she calmly walked out of the cup. 😂
wouldn't call it camly but... ok
ElxSilver for a cobalt blue that’s calm lol those things basically teleport when they wanna be quick
This made my day, the way he tossed the twizzers away and the didnt even do anything😂😂😂
I’m planing on getting a cobalt blue but I’m not sure wether to get a female or Male, which one would you recommend to have
They are very loosely packed with only dirt and was tossed around by the ups guy. I was pissed.
+Charlie Grace no I have both of them and they are very healthy
man down man down are the tweezers ok lol
Monster Reptiles i ordered a mexican red knee and the ups guy held the package sideways too, they suck
usually it's not the breeder, it's the delivery system that they want to use. that's why they wind up dead.
They didn't do a good job of a packaging. They should have packed the spiders in moist paper towels and at the very least taped them together.
I am glad the spider was okay. I don't like the way it was packed so loosely in the deli-cup. I think if it was in the cup protected by damp paper towels to prevent being tossed around it would have been fine. I would add some more substrate and dampen it more. remove the flower pot she will dig her own hole. Grats on the new pet hole.
thanks for your comment. I agree on the packing they could have done a much better job. her tank is completely different and the substrate is 6.5 inches thick. I made some starter holes but she doesn't dig lol I have a video of the new tank set up. I also have a pink toe that will not climb. it just sits on the ground lol
Monster Reptiles and Exotics An avic that doesn't climb??
aww... my pink toe is always up high. lol indeed :)
Was the trap door dead ??
He's nervous but buys a cobalt and a trapdoor...
That lividum looks malnourished in this video. Poor girl, but I'm glad you have her and not Backwater Reptiles. Way too many horror stories from them!
Great video! My buddy just got a cbt from the same company and some others t's and they all arrived cold and looked like death curls with very awful packaging seemed very rushed/cheap! Luckily they all ended up being okay after some warming up but he was able to literally pick the cbt up without it even moving and we put it in a temp housing and when it warmed up it was pissed! When going to transfer it again it bolted at warp speed out and onto the table then ran down to the carpet! ended up getting her but MAN THAT SHIT WAS SCARY as these are so fast they can be gone in a blink of a eye and can be extreme aggressive especially due to the state of them on arrival.
thanks a bunch
I know this is old, but don't buy from Backwater Reptiles. It is terrible and they have bad shipping and a lot of their animals are sick or dead when they arrive
Papa Burgundy Bet they make sure they get a good commission on the re-sales too!!! Wonder if that ALEX080 works for them as his reputation is bad as well???!!!??? Lol🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@MissWoman1 who's that?
@@caseyelgin6988 He was another P.O.S 'seller' that ripped people off. He's mentioned in older video's of reptile and arachnid owner's, I came across the info by chance when I was watching video's and several owner's had video's they'd made that included bad experiences with the 'seller' mentioned in this video and that 'alex080'. Think there's actually a video that's titled with the 'alex080' something or other where a buyer explains their bad experiences.
@@MissWoman1 Alex080... damn I thought I'd never hear that name again lol.
@@CobraKaiNoMercy Yep, both got bad reputations from ALOT of people. Hope they aren't able to rip off anymore people or have anything to do with any animals!
Thank you for making this video, I wanted to see a recent video of unboxing from backwater. because of all the bad reviews. liked and subbed
Thanks for watching! Backwater did a good job except for when it came to ordering my Madagascar hissing cockroaches. It took several days over the time that they were supposed to be here. My T's are healthy and arrived a little earlier than expected by a few hours, but when I talked to Backwater about my hissing cockroaches they got right back with me. I had no problems with their customer service but they don't have a phone number, they only communicate through email. They're not that bad, but ordering animals through the mail, people have to understand that things can go wrong. UPS people are not as understanding of our animals as we are and they shift the boxes and throw the boxes and are on conveyor belts so it's not always Backwater fault. When the UPS guy brought me my T's off the truck he flipped it and held it like a football so made me extremely angry. So it's not always Backwater fault or the person you're ordering from. They go through a long process of shipping. Thanks for subscribing and continue to watch our videos. We're going to upload all of our T's and Reptiles.
to be fair no carrier cares about whats inside of your pkg, i worked for UPS. according to them its up to the shipper to make sure its packaged correctly to with stand a 5-8ft drop. them along with other carriers are moving a million units a day, they got no time to be ringing doorbells to wait for ppl to answer or handle packages with care. if you think that irritated you its a great thing you didnt see them load your box onto the truck in the AM. i can almost guarantee my life on it that box flew a good 8+ft from the ground to the truck to be stacked and sorted for the driver. shipping anything is risky business, animals even more so, its up to the shipper to ensure whatever is inside is padded enough to take these bumps cuz they will happen and they will be plentiful.
Nice! If ever I HAD to have a tarantula, I'd have a Cobalt Blue, as they are truly beautiful creatures. Keep up the good work, as you have just earned a subscriber!
thank you so much, I agree, cobalt blue t arantulas are very beautiful. thank you for subscribing and look forward to more videos to come.
But you will not want Cobalt blue to be your first tarantula
thank you so much we will only get better from here
Hi, I'm wanting to order from them did u get a tracking # sent and did it come in the next day?? Thanks in advance
Yes we got a tracking # and it was the next day around noon, time varies depending on your location. they answered any questions I had promptly by email. only bad thing is, is how they were packed and how the ups guy treated them. both were healthy and still are.
Ordered an blu cobalt female from Backwater ...they shipped me an male..🤦♂️
They don't guarantee
hey! ur ts are amazing :) im dreaming about getting one, but unfortunately due to my "professionalism" (i only got one spider, the chaco golden knee :) ) i cant get one.. could you tell me what is the substrate that u used? thanks a lot :) like, is it the coconut shell or something? coz it looks sorta dry and much finer than the one i have
we use coconut fiber substrate for our tarantula enclosures. and thank you for the compliment and thank you for watching our videos 😄
These things take some serious balls to own. Kudos
Thanks lol, I'm about to do a rehoming video. Check it out
How is she doing? I bought one from them recently and she doesnt eat at all and sits curled up in burrow all day.
Trent S I actually don't have her anymore, I gave her to a guy we know and he says she's doing real good. we never had an issue with her not eating though
Mine died from not eating.. when I got her she was already sick and I couldnt save her unfortunately.. D:
Trent S i'm sorry to hear that. maybe your next one will be a success
Thank you! I hope mine comes in alive I've heard good and bad things about them!
Did it???
Hope the tank held up???
Asking cos of that big crack in the tank???
first time ordering online and you choose backwater. there so hated on. thats like 3 inches long
Thanks guys for your comments, I am about to upload of another video of her new enclosure. She now has 6-6 1/2 inches of substrate and I started two burrowing holes for her and she loves them. I changed her enclosure the very next day realizing that I needed to take a little more time to give her what she needed and not what was simple for me. But I really do appreciate your concern Matt E. and montrealkid95
thanks for watching the video, I have been told that a lot lol.
Monster Reptiles and Exotics I've heard that BACKWATER Reptiles is HORRIBLE. If u want a tarantula try visiting JamiesTarantulas, theyre great
And when she digs you’ll have a pet hole 🕳 😂
What name is that farm?
back water reptiles
최은경 you are Korean too
new tarantulas arrived...
I picked up a baby cobalt blue today about 1.5 inch leg span and its even more aggressive than my fully grown obt's 😂 beautiful specimen. you got lucky!!
Thank you so much, hit us up on Facebook and share your pictures of your tarantulas 😊
+Monster Reptiles I sent pics of my collection! scorions, t's chameleons. I have 2 slings currently, my fully growns are at my girlfriends house.
+zeemartorello awesome as soon as I get a chance I will check them out
So going to keep my super fast super aggressive tarantula in a cracked case.... can't envisage any problem there....
visog I don't know of any superhuman tarantulas that can break through glass cracked or not so we're good, nobody scared over here and of all the tarantulas I've ever had she is the least aggressive, despite what some might say about cobalt blue tarantulas
Keep up the good work and a sub for you sir
You definitely need way more substrate if she climbs and falls that could be fatal and that enclosure looks way to big for her to
Why shake it
awesome unboxing
thanks for watching our video. thanks for the compliment, be sure to watch our other videos and subscribe!
wow don't like how they packed them in.. compared to how breeders pack them..
U pick a really nice spider I was getting that one too
I would have suggested Jamie's tarantulas, netbug, swift inverts, ken the bug guy or fear not tarantulas for your investment. Lucky she's alive with that packing job.
Damn dude, do a little research before you buy a live animal. Everyone knows not to buy from backwater. Let’s do a little constructive criticism here. First of all those spiders were packed terribly (as other ppl have told you), you shouldn’t be shaking them around when they’ve already been tossed around by the mailmen. Second, that tank is a mess, has cracks, dry substrate, shallow substrate, terrible water bowl, I could go on. The T looks dehydrated and very stressed out. I’m surprised it wasn’t dead when you opened it. Terrible commentary and camera work too. Also where is the part for the trap door? You totally skipped that part lol. The only positive thing in this video was that tarantula being alive.
TheBlackLotusKing thanks man I appreciate it.
Lets get some constructive criticism here. This is their very first unboxing and very first ordering online as the description in the video states very clearly. Tank is cracked and in previous comments it says it was repaired and tarantulas aren't super human, therefore it wouldn't affect the T. All the negatives responses from backwater reptiles are from years ago, I have never had any problems from BWR. You just have to follow protocol DO NOT ORDER IN THE WINTER MONTHS!!! THAT IS COMMON SENSE FOR THE MOST INEXPERIENCED REPTILE OWNERS!! As far as commentary, look at description "Our first video of our first unboxing :D " it doesn't say "We are professionals and we do this for a living". Also, what control do they have over the packaging "First all of those spiders were packed terribly" I'm sure if they could have done something about the packaging they would have. That's not their fault along with it looking dehydrated and stressed. And then if you did read the comments you would see that they have done an update and rehoming of the cobalt blue and it has 6+ inches of substrate to burrow in and more tank space. Also the title of this video is Unboxing Cobalt Blue Tarantula, not trapdoor. That is a separate video. Sounds like you have nothing better to do than be an ass. #gottalovethemtrolls. Hope you have a great day! Just remember be kind, and nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes and if we all stick together we can better each other as enthusiasts.
Hey he took the criticism very well. Please be a bit nicer and try to help without it sounded so mean. Please. I love the fact that even know you were being kinds rude but you did know what you were talking about. He still was very respectful to you.
Backwater Reptiles really needs to take better care of their pets that's just cruel.
Brandon-Jessica Mitchell ok their packaging of those Tarantulas is terrible. But from any real breeders or Tarantula sights they always put in paper towels in with the T's so they don't get tossed about.
My favourite tarantula and my least favourite type of spider in 1 box together.. what are the chances
》Tessa 《 they are really cool tarantulas but not something you can sit and watch like other species. The trapdoor is cute when it comes out to eat and my cobalt blue wasn't very aggressive at all. Thanks for checking out our videos. We have tons more so be sure to subscribe.
Monster Reptiles and Exotics i don't have any spiders myself, i've only recently started watching some video's because i think they're very interesting creatures. I just really like the look of the cobalt blue (my favourite colour), i could watch them for hours even when doing nothing. There are others i like as well, i just can't remember their names (yet) haha.
The trapdoors' behaviour is very interesting, and i like watching video's of them. their smooth, pointy feet and jumpscare appearances just really freak me out though. I'd never want to deal with one myself. Slightly aragnophobic here
》Tessa 《 we started out as arachnaphobes too and after researching arachnids for two years we decided to get one as a pet and my wife decided she wanted one too so we got a rosehair and a pinktoe in the same day and then we decided to get these two. It's an adventure that's for sure. We just unboxed an ornamental baboon tarantula and king baboon. You should check out the ornamental baboon's unboxing, it was my wife's second unboxing but it was eventful lol.
Monster Reptiles and Exotics 'check out my baboon unboxing video' gave me a good laugh.. if only someone heard you say that, not knowing you were talking about spiders
I'll check it out!
》Tessa 《 lol I just now read it myself.. Lol very funny 😄
and good video
Haplopelma or now cyriopagapus are a fossorial species and could use a lot more substrate. And I only hear bad things about backwater reptile orders. Pretty girl though she is very mellow! Good videos I subbed.
Backwater was actually okay they've been good to me it was really the UPS guy that made me mad she has a totally different enclosure now thanks for subscribing
+Monster Reptiles no problem man. The plastic tubs would ideally have been packed with moist paper towels so they would not be bumped around during their transport.
Wow she's huge!! How old would you say she was when you got her? My rose hair just passed recently and I had her for 14 years.
close to a year I imagine. you don't get to pick how old, just the size when you order them.
thanks for watching my video, I have others videos that are awesome too
+Monster Reptiles a year and she's that big already wow! she's a beauty for sure.
I just got one yesterday. I named her Cuddles. Lol. She was pretty scary to rehome. Awesome video
that's awesome. that's also what we named ours lol
Lol you jumped like a wittle girl
Lol, you talk like a wittle girl
For real like it was an obt or a grown pokie in threat posture lmao
i wonder if you noticed that your tank was broken
Daniel Mitchell yep there was a crack in it, but nothing too major. If the tank was going to harm the animal in anyway I wouldn't have used it.
so these backwater guys are pretty legit?...i'm thinking of buying some t's online
the only problem I had with them was they should have packed them in damp paper towels and not loose dirt other than that any email I sent to him they replied back quickly
We have a Cobalt Blue we got lucky shes super chill. Overprotective of her burrow though. That one looks very malnourished and dehydrated poor girl :(
I don't think he knows how aggressive cobalt blues are
Who else clicked on this cause of the title? 😂
And the comments😂
yes I did LOL
You know dude ignore these people for first video or maybe even first T I don’t think you done bad just upgrade your enclosure abit :)
Fun video! I've always been happy with my purchases at Backwater. Good luck!
What the ur enclosure is so big change the enclosure dude its too big of him
Please makea video abt OBT
han hadrian I don't have one at the moment, but looking to get one soon.
Hahahaha Pterinochilus murinus he jumped at a cobalt he'd wet his trousers.
My Tarantula came dead from this company idk why but they're making us pay for shipping and the Tarantula when they have a live guarantee
NEVER EVER EVER WILL I ORDER FROM THERE EVEN IF IT WAS FREE
Sidearm, check. Expensive web cam, check. Expensive spiders, check. Cracked aquarium because you couldn't afford a new 10 or 20 gallon aquarium, check. Welcome to spider harlem sweety.
Sidearm? That's a cellphone lol. Thanks for your comment
Why shake'em!
SAVAGE308SNIPER. with them being packed in dirt I couldn't tell if they were alive or dead. Those are the types of species you don't just stick your finger in there to see if they are alive lol. The UPS guy flipped the box when he got them out of the truck so they were both covered in dirt.
I don't know why people are pitchforking BWR. They are a good company. I think that there another side to those few bad stories. ;) Anyway, great unboxing and fantastic specimens!
thank you very much
Was the Trap Door DOA? you are very lucky the CBB was alive. that packaging was absolutely disgraceful.
Crumpy the trap door was alive and healthy. both of them were :)
Eg droup soop
dud you need to start covering your address and information
Nathan Yonker lol thanks for looking out, this is the first video we ever did and never noticed it. Good looking out man lol
Apparently Backwater Reptiles is NOT the place to get tarantulas. Also, next time you get spiders, don't shake the container to see if it's in there
it's just newbie mistakes, never had anything shipped to me before this video, I have learned a lot within the past 2 years since this video. I do appreciate the comments though.
You made me nervous lol
+Crystal King thanks for watching, I did tons of research of it before getting her and everyone said how aggressive she'd be. But she's a doll. I named her Cuddles
🤣🤣🤣
This is how you do not ship a T. Bad business.
0:40 dont lie...you jumped
Lol I'm not going to lie, I did :D there are several times in this hobby where I have jumped. Unboxing the centipede I jumped as well lol
cool vid, check out the videos of my absolutely gorgeous cobalt blue, I even post vids of holding and handling her, I jusr posted video of her on side of my face lol, and yes they are very aggressive but its all in how you handle them. one my videos you clearly see I just stick my hand right in front of her and she just steps right up onto my hand, I do not promote trying to handle a cobalt but yes it can be done, I got plenty videos to prove it
+goblinday1 That is awesome, I will definitely check out your videos. My cobalt blue now that I have had time to get to know her is very aggressive. She likes her space but I also believe that each spider or tarantula no matter species have their own personalities. I have several T's and a couple of spiders and all of them have different personalities and I'm looking forward to getting more. Thanks for watching my video, there will me more to come.
+Monster Reptiles oh mine is extremely aggressive!! got videos showing that to. the more aggressive the spider the more I want to hold it as dumb as that sounds, I've always had a passion for the little critters. its kind of a power trip in weird way for me to hold something like that. I find it amazing how something that weighs matter of couple ounces, few grams at most can bring full grown man to his knees.
I dig it. I have a black widow as well, she is one of my favorites. I have had friends stop coming over because of my reptiles and spiders. It's funny to see how they react to something they fully don't understand.
+Monster Reptiles yup I love the people like "i'm not coming over there with a spider"......thats in an enclosure behind glass locked and secured, than they talk about people they go fight at the bar lol like i'm thinking your real tuff at this point...btw UPS did same thing with mine! flipped it and tucked it under the arm, never mind live animal written in big ass letters all over every side the box, I had got spiderling king baboon that was completely buried almost smothered!
+Jay yes ups has no regard for live animals. The person that delivered mine said "you think that's bad, you should see the conveyor belt they come off of"
Wow not how you pack spiders for shipping hope these people are out of Business
I just don't want people coming to your house and they might take stuff from your house
Nathan Yonker I really don't have anything to take lol thanks fot looking out. If they come up here they are going to be very disappointed lol
they are the worst company. I got a Gooty sling for 190 and they packed it absolutely horrible. poor fucking spider
RainyDayBlue8 They have horrible packing, yes. But they have awesome customer service and all my animals arrived alive. We also order from underground reptiles. We got 9 cane toads from them.
i missed my cobalt blue :(
Hacker7112 ROBLOX aw :( why don't you get another one?
maybe soon bro
it cost expensive here in phillipines around P2000 peso
Hacker7112 ROBLOX oh wow, well I hope its sooner rather than later when you can get one
be very careful bro for ordering in backwater reptiles cause sometimes they will ship you with a dead one
That's a tropical type tarantula you should make sure his tank is moist and put some fake plant in there and maybe a stick
Android Gary we redid her enclosure the day after we got her. this video is old... we have updated videos of her enclosure and feedings
Shit packaging, can't say the enclosure is better... dry and low substrate for Asian burrowing T..
thanks for watching the video, and yeah I changed the enclosure the very next day and I posted a update video on her enclosure.
Lmao my guy is legit scared of a cobalt?
like take your animals
+Nathan Yonker the animals are my job. I'm home all the time. But I do appreciate it
Shaking the tub wouldn't have helped, worse thing you could have done
Cobalt blue tarantulas are opportunistic burrowers you need to add at least 4 to 6 inches of substrate. This hobby already has enough careless owners who fail to do research on their T's. Don't be stupid and research on your specimen
Don't order from them order from Jamie's tarantulas
Jackson Crawford I appreciate that, I'll check them out. I personally haven't had any problems with backwater reptiles, but I know that others have had their share of good and bad experiences with them.
Jamie's, Fear not Tarantulas, swifts inverts and pinchers and pokies are wonderful.
Do not order from them. When I got my T from them in February, she was literally thrown in a tub with no padding whatsoever. She was completely cold and lethargic. I completely put her in my tortoise room and after a few hours she finally warmed up. Do your research on these companies. They absolutely don't have the best intentions regarding your animal.
first of all their are a few possible treats that i have indicated with you're pet? why is you're tank cracked along the sides of the glass panel? and secondly you dont know how to use a tripod for youtube properly lol. thirdly the substrate is not high enough it needs to be at least 6 inches deep so the T can burrow? i hope you have since transferred it out and into a new enclosure without a cracked glass panel and made the substrate high enough for her to burrow?.
All there animals are wild caught and i ordered a box turtle and it was dead.
LazyDylan actually that's very false. they have 3 different locations. We've made several orders from these guys, this is just one of many. I would give them another try and order your reptiles and exotics during the spring time when its warmer so they have a better chance of surviving the weather. Also a lot of causes of death is from shipping because they come off of conveyor belts and the personnel handle the packages so roughly. I really appreciate you watching the video and I hope your ordering experiences with whoever you order from are successful.
ok Thats just what I heard and also I ordered in the summer so idk
LazyDylan it could also be the carrier that they used. the UPS guy we talked to said they drop from a 20 foot conveyor belt. I have heard some horror stories from different breeders about shipping and its all really just from individul personal experiences. We've been doing RUclips for 2 years and we also take in and rehabilitate injured and unwanted animals. next time if your wanting to get another turtle I would look into a Russian tortoise, they are really durable and great for beginners.
I wanted a russian tortoise but I dont have much time anymore thats why I got into tarantulas. My rose hair is coming from jamies t's soon.
+LazyDylan sorry my notifications didn't go off when you sent this message. I was just scrolling through to see if I missed any. That's a great T to have. We loved our rosehair t's. Definitely show some pictures. We have a Facebook (Monster Reptiles and Exotics), Twitter(@MonsterReptiles), and Instagram (@MonsterReptilesandExotics).
Should be titled "how NOT to rehouse an old world tarantula." Using 4" tweezers is just asking for an extremely painful bite, and then to make it worse, you nudged it toward your exposed hand...
drgnfrc13 obviously the 4" tweezers was an oversight on my part but this was my first unboxing of any arachnid of any kind. What can I say? You live and you learn :)
Worst substrate ever
Backwater reptiles is the worst. Horrible packaging, often DOAs. They drop ship so they never see the specimen
