Tarantula breeding GONE WRONG!!!!!!! Caribena Versicolor male gets eaten
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Caribena versicolor, also known as the Antilles red tree spider or the Antilles pinktoe tarantula, is a species of tarantula native to the island of Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. This spider is known for their bright colorations, and this makes them a must-have tarantula by all tarantula keepers. Its jut one of those spiders where you gotta have one in the collection.
Despite being somewhat delicate, Caribena versicolor tarantulas make amazing first-time pets for tarantula keepers due to their super docile and calm nature.
They do not show any signs of aggression, nor do they kick hair - both which are super sought after qualities in new tarantula keepers.
They are arboreal species, meaning they live in trees and make webs, which makes them visually striking and interesting to observe. Additionally, females have a lifespan of around 10-12 years, providing a long-term commitment for those who want to care for them. They are also hardy eaters and are not picky about their diet, which makes them easy to feed. Overall, their bright colors and docile nature make them great conversation starters and a perfect addition to any collection.

Tarantulas in the video:
Caribena versicolor tarantula breeding attempt. And a fail. Male was eaten :(
![Did he just CHEAT ON HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND after "using" her?? 😱🤣 [TARANTULA PAIRING]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bLY0zP4cKcg/mqdefault.jpg)
The male’s death could’ve EASILY been prevented by taking things slow. Not only having two pairings at the same time, but rushing them is what killed the poor little guy. What a waste of a perfectly good C. Versi!
i dunno, i think it's kinda forced, why these guys do that and seems sloppy and they could fall from that desk too
I may be wrong. Does she not smell the humans hands on the male?
i think that humans cant always control life and death no matter how hard we try. he tried to create life and got unlucky.
I really think the guy needed more time to play the drums. It felt rushed. This was an unnecessary death. Idk.
I'm by no means an expert, but all the other spider pairings I've seen on youtube, the male get's put a good distance from the female, just outside of their home web so the male can smell the female, start drumming slowly and let the dance begin. It can then take hours for the spiders to have contact with each other or even properly acknowledge each other, it concerned me just how close the male was put to the female, and then not being allowed to put distance between himself and the female.
I don't agree with him at the end when he says it happens and there's nothing he could have done. Time and space is what he could have done
I can't help but think this was a mistake, not only having two pairs out at the same time, but rushing them as well. RIP to that male
I felt the same way. I think there is times specifically with this channel where they make some pretty questionable decisions.
Definitely
Yep
They are very unprofessional with these poor spiders
Yeah on the one hand adult male either dies of starvation, or like this on the other it is a waste to not only not have male fulfil his purpose but also perish when it could have been avoided.
Bro doesn’t even look upset, he literally just gave her a free meal for the sake of views
This was the first time I ever really connected with a male spider. He was down on his luck and right when he thought he could settle for a bigger girl she ate him.
LMFAOOOO 😭😭😭
Story of my life as well
BBW ISN'T always the best choice. lol
Homeboy was defective somehow and all the ladies knew it. RIP buddy
I hope he comes back as a bengal tiger or something, and smashes all the ladies.
this felt very rushed, seemed like she did not get primed before hand
Yeah, I wonder why that went wrong.. I bet it has nothing to do with the high stress environment / settings for the pairing.
Why do that setup in the first place? Why not slowly introduce the male to the female at his own pace?
The pairing was doomed before it even started.
Don’t like the way you are stressing the situations and the T’s. Not the way I would handle it all.
Couldn't have put it better myself
I truly wondered if the female had been double fed before the pairing? It seems as though he wasn’t expecting to breed Big Bertha, so that makes me wonder if she was hungry the way she took him down so fast? Also, that male had to be a bit worn out after chasing the first 4 females all over the cork bark and table, plus all over the hands of the handler. This seemed like a VERY rushed, unprepared, unnecessary death! 🤔🕷🥲💔😞🤷♂️
I disagree he’s been doing this a long time and knows what he’s doing. Other people have different methods. But his reputation in the community is strong and he’s good at what he does.
@@alexanderbickford7536 He rushed it. This was a handler fail, not the correct way of doing it. Sorry you believe otherwise.
@@alexanderbickford7536 I think you are right about him being skilled at a great many things. It’s obvious just watching him handling these super fast Tarantulas that he has a great deal of experience. I just think he made a mistake or two with the last male breeder. Everyone has their own way of doing some things, but even those with extensive backgrounds & great reputations can make a mistake or two. It might have just been the speed with which that male was placed with a 5th consecutive female (in under 15 minutes)? Perhaps she hadn’t been feed super well just prior to breeding since he had absolutely no plans to use her that day until the prior 4 failed? It doesn’t make him a bad breeder or keeper. Things happen, and when they’re put on camera & then uploaded to RUclips, people have the right to question those things, and outcomes. 🤔🕷🤷♂️
Was the female even primed before putting the male with her ? She should have had a good meal before putting him in there. After so many fails he should have been put away and tried at another time. I think this was a little careless. he was sooo much smaller than she was so at least feeding her well beforehand would have at least given him a better chance but I wouldn't have done it just my opinion. RIP little man.😥😥
I completely agree with you. This was careless handling from Urban Tarantulas. I thought they were very experienced, but this seemed to be just to get a lot of attention and views. Sorry to say this, but this is how I feel. 🤷
@@johnswensson6032 Urban Tarantulas does a LOT of careless handling. Its very frustrating as an experienced hobbyist watching. This guy has no business working with these animals if he's going about it like this. Disgraceful.
Almost like you intended to feed him to her... so stupid .poor spider
I really think he do that for the video, so sad
That is absolutely NOT a proper way to pair ANYTHING, not even your neighbour! No wonder it went wrong.
This is not the way to show the hobby.
You feel so bad ? Maybe ask the male spider how he felt getting eaten so quick ….. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😢
big bertha has been divorced at least twice, she's got the exp.
Poor lil fella 😮 he didn’t “friend zoned,” he got food zoned…
You should plan the pairing and feed them the day before so they aren’t hungry…but I understand this happens spontaneously too! Testing the females with a feeder first before introducing to a male and if they are hungry just wait until after she feeds, up to the next day.
Bro you didn't have her in the enclosure to do the pairing, maybe she would've let him if it was in an enclosed private space 😂🎉
"the worst she could say is no."
Now, I am no expert but I think that putting the on a orizzontal plane and give them their time to mate without rushing the situation and not interacting much would have prevented the death or at the very least made the female gravid. Or maybe let them mate in the enclousure.
That is one massive versi....
Yep, she was a big one. Berthaaaaaa
big bertha´s name fit perfectly.
Hate to say it, but this is what happens when a man doesn’t listen to, and pick up on the clues given, my a man. He was REJECTED. Not once. Not twice. Not three times. But four times. FOUR TIMES. Then, after FOUR FEMALES REJECTING HIM, you put him in with a massive predator. Not only was he jacked up, after trying to breed four times, so he wasn’t taking his time, but did you ever consider, after talking about how amazing they are, how they JUST KNOW INSTINCTUALLY what to do, that if you see a male getting repeatedly rejected, no less back-to-back-to-back-to-back that maybe, JUST MAYBE, the females sensed something was wrong with him? Maybe they sensed he wasn’t strong enough to provide them with healthy offs[ring? Maybe they sensed he had a genetic defect of some type? Or, maybe they sensed he just wasn’t right in the head?
Either way, after the second rejection, you should have just pulled another male, not another female because when different females are all rejecting the same male…the way to confirm it’s the male is not continue throwing new females at HIM, but to try a different male with THEM. Had they accepted another male after rejecting him, you would have had your answer. Unfortunately, she gave you the answer by not even messing around with him & giving him the chance to run from him. She’s too old and mature to waste her energy and she sensed prey, not mate. All those clues put together should give you the answer.
Hopefully, next time, you’ll pull the make & try a new one because it might just have been that they didn’t like his immaturity. Now, you’ll never know. 😮Bummer. RIP, Little Buddy.
We love and learn from our mistakes…. Appreciate the support.
Mrs. KnowitAll... I never comment but ur comment annoyed me..
perfectly said
Thank you for saying perfectly what everyone with any sense is already thinking. Poor little guy 😢❤
I sort of feel like this guy wanted this to happen which breaks my heart. How could he not know what the outcome was going to be? Especially someone with that many spoods. Come on 😢
About time urban tarantulas starts a RUclips. Longer videos is better. Big fan. Love his content on ig but like longer videos on RUclips
Trying my brother. This long format takes SO long to edit. Trying our best and thank you :)
Agreed, I wish he was still making YT content.
Won’t have to feed her for a minute. That’s the biggest versicolor I have ever seen.
Yep... and she actually laid a big sac for us recently.
Clearly the Ts sensed he was defective. That's why he was refused. Wish i had these senses to save me from my ex husband
Why do you pair two at the same time ? It's really hard to watch ?!?!
Bro got no rizz thats he got killed
She was huge compared to him. What did you think was gonna happen?
He knew.
As a female, we can tell when something is wrong w a male no would have eaten him too.
Then why are women such bad choosers 🤣🤣🤣
Trash 304
Big Bertha is a savage! Damn didn’t even get to the first part of the date! I would hear and see how upset you were losing that male and it made me love you guys even more! RIP
Thanks. It sucks, but we have to remember that what we do in captivity is so controlled that only a fraction of the males do get sacrificed. We do our best. At least try to.
It's sad when your hobby turns in to cash making to rushed I'd never do that with my spiders
Sorry for your loss. There may have been something inside of him wrong that the females didn't like.
I agree with you 💯% tarantulas are truly amazing animals and very beautiful. I remember when I was ten years old my grandmother bought me my first tarantula and it was a pink-toe and she was very beautiful her colors were very vibrant and the pink really stuck out and I also noticed that the black was very dark as well. She was beautiful then my second T was a Mexican Red Knee but back in the late 80's early 90's they were still being called Mexican red legs. Awesome vlog man thank you for sharing these beautiful tarantulas and I'm sorry for the loss poor guy had it bad from the start 😢
Dang! Should have stopped forcing him into others.
Is the fifth female big because she’s older than the other females or is she just abnormally big ?
Well, you were not wrong. He was asking for it.
Poor guy. That's part of it unfortunately.
Probably should have fed her first and introduced them on neutral territory.
Yeah I agree with the feeding, but you actually do want to put the male into the female’s enclosure bc her pheromones on her webbing/substrate should encourage him to start drumming, thereby enticing her. If he doesn’t show the proper interest & let her know he’s there to breed then the female will possibly think he’s food…
Poor guy. I'm gutted for him. I've kept tarantulas in the past and thinking of getting one again. I really like the colours of these. Do you ship internationally?
They are worth getting for sure... I don't ship internationally, im sorry. Its illegal to ship outside of the US for me :(
Why that FmaLe Versi so big..how did you do that to make Versi over size,,,!?
I wonder if the females can detect something deficient in the male that we can’t see or detect?
He knew that was going to happen that female was way to big for him and probably hadn't been fed.
He did it on purpose after 4 rejection he decide to jump in the big female fangs ... 😂
Tough spider life. My versicolor pairing went out pretty smooth, but there is still no sign of an eggsac. Same as with the P. irminia.
Sometimes you gotta be super patient. It will happen. And raise the heat!!
@@UrbanTarantulas Will do. The P. irminia dropped the eggsack and the versi is visibly full of eggs ;) A lot of work in sight, and a lot of recording for YT x3
Wouldn’t it stress the female less if you introduce the male to the females enclosure? Let him figure it out like he would naturally? Uprooting both, then introducing them out in the open with a but load of distractions probably damages the calm of all.
Maybe there was something wrong with him that we couldn't tell but the female tarantulas could.
The male was meat from the very beginning.
wouldn't you think to give up after maybe the third failure?????
Imagine. In the wild, the female is usually in its safe place. And the male roams close, detects the female webbing and drums them out. It is instinctual safety. Lol you just shoved a male into a females face. That male had no chance. Just like human females, that aren’t drunk and not in a nightclub.
The last sentence wasn’t needed. Are you on a watchlist?
oddly specific there bud. Have you had a talk with the FBI yet? 😂🤣🤣
NOOOO HE GOT REJECTED 4 TIMES BUT SADLY HE GOT EATEN BY THE LADY BERTHA 😢😢
I get the eerie feeling that he failed four breeds so you fed him to bertha
he was taken by the lions den... :(
Ever think that there may be a breeding season, where it is more likely for females to be more receptive?
This in my opinion was a bad example of a pairing video. Enclosure was to small for pairing, and doing two at the same time was a mistake as he couldn't control what was going on
Bruh! So sorry that sucks but big Bertha is a beast. RIP.🙏
It happens bro... Thanks for the love Pascual :)
Well he was a second rate breeder but a good 1st rate meal
the reason tarantulas' know how to mate is because.......tarantula's are a species from another dimension
You know what's crazy I just noticed when you got female spiders acting like modern female spiders just like you got a human woman acting like a modern woman that would reject a guy for any little thing and the female code with each other to reject man thinking that the grass is greener on the other side but the male spider did not deserve to get rejected and definitely get eating at all I gotta put some respect on the male spiders name 😢😔🙏🏽 🕷️💯
"Part of the game", "mother nature". You did this by rushing them. Everything was wrongly done here.
Bro had no Rizz RIP 🕷🕷
Ok dude please be careful that tarantula eats food the same size as him and even though they are both matured the female looked a bit too big
Ein sogenannter Profi hätte spätestens nach der vierten female einfach Mal aufgehört das Tier noch weiter zu strapazieren! Gerade ein Profi sollte wissen, dass es grundsätzlich Stress für JEDES Tier bedeutet. Also kein Profi in meinen Augen.
this is the most depressing video i have seen today. thanks. betas be betas no matter species.
Damm poor little fella,can’t criticize the guy he’s been breeding ts for a while shit happens ☠️
Sweet feeding video
it was a BREEDING video lol... poor little man, I hope he comes back as an eagle or something.
Didn't keep you distance and you were super loud,dude
When your romantic dinner is your date! I know you’re probably gonna get some heat from this video but it’s not necessary. I can see in your face how gutted you were. You’ll learn from this just like we do as parents. Thanks for the video. Tell Christopher to get some more long ones out there too! We love them big and long 😘😂
lol, @westsidereptiles you hear that? Thank you for the support, appreciate the love.
How often do you feed your tarantulas
Once a week!
That male was as big as her carapace got damn that was a no go lol but RIP to the lil guy.. i will say probably could have been avoided but lesson learned for all of us..
They're such beautiful T'S!
R.I.P Little man😔
Strike 5. HE’S OUT OF HERE
Awww poor little guy, he wanted to breed so badly then dies without planting his seed. Sorry you lost a beautiful T but this happens no matter how careful you try to be. I don't agree with the negative people here but personally I would have stopped after 3 especially when you said this wasn't normal. I'd like to add I'm no way qualified to say any of this just what I would have done I love your channel ❤️ and don't think you made any mistakes. I seen the horror in your face when she grabbed him
Thanks... appreciate the support. It does happen, and when the female reacts it can be super fast... but sometimes the male gets the job done, and very seldom he will get eaten. This is nature.
I have a female GBB that's about 6-7 inches. I'm wanting to breed her just having trouble finding a male without buying one
The music is cracking me up 🤣
lmao, im glad your enjoying it
Kinda fucked up I'll admit you did try to force them to breed which in the animal kingdom whenever the female is stressed they'll end up eating whatever they can
Are they not aggresive? Never once see one try to bite you or kick hairs. I hwve a baby one right now.
I'm a novice and you're the pro. But I was wondering. Could that have been avoided had you fed all the females first? She seemed very hungry to take him like that. Just a thought on my part.
I saw on another comment that he feeds his T’s once a week. Which is really good. When breeding I’ve noticed that some keepers will feed the females a bit extra a day or 2 before, but he never said what day he fed these girls… 🤷🏼♀️😬
OMG THE POOR MAN dissed by 4 ladies and the 5th a MANEATER HE NEVER STOOD A CHANCE. But low key I feel really bad for him like come on the rejection 😕 and dude u had no chance she clamped him even if you tried probs damage the females legs.
Female spiders being just as illogical as female women LUL
This was really upsetting to watch. This could of been prevented. /:
I wonder if the females sensed something about him we has humans couldnt see.
Poor guy tryna get some good good just to be eaten 😢😵 Thats sad but it happens in the Arachnid hobby
Surprised how quickly it died
Say what you want, but you can tell he felt terrible that this happened. And it does happen, even when taking the utmost of precautions.
And holy hell, that girl had junk in the trunkkkk 🍑
I am new two spiders i am sad 😥 seeing the male get eaten by huge female. I am breeding betta fish i force breed them but not this , not in the point my breeder will eat one another 😢
Just like humans there are compatible and not compatible.
We're r located... tomorrow is my bday would luv to get some ta
She's huge!
Spider incels exist! Who knew?
Can Caribena Versicolor’s get up to 7 inches
Everyone in the comments must know everything
Oh No Soo Sad ! But verry cool Video thank you for this ! DANKESCHÖN ! I 'VE got a caribena too they are beutys !
you sir, are not a good wingman.
Make them mating at that high and on a table, good idea 👏🏻
Just so you know, it's in every living creature instincts to procreate, that's why everything is alive. lol
You make it look easy to handle them but idk I don't trust it how does a person get bitten by one what makes a spider that dam big want to bite a human
Avics are probably the most harmless tarantulas i have handled. They shoot poop rather than bite for the most part.
Big bby killing lil bby boy that shit was fast
50 dollars eaten hehe
poor little dude :(
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😱🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
tarantulas are great pacifiers ;)
What does a sperm web look like?
