Just a note, you have 'Warrington Pets and Exotics' listed as an online dealer in the UK, while you can see their invert stock online, they will not post inverts at all.
Yes milzyz agreed I am planning on getting a aphonopelma chalcodes and I now feel comfortable and safe to get a T with Tarantula Colective Info and advice
For real I think it’s really epic that he puts all this info on RUclips, I see more and more people w exotic pets these days and I feel like most people don’t put in all the research for their animal. Making the videos informative but also entertaining is really important for all the new people
That is HIGH PRAISE< thanks so much for the support! Glad you enjoy the videos...feel free to share with your friends and help me get the word out about the channel!
Fear Not Tarantulas is impeccable with customer service. They made my 1st T purchase so hassle free the Ts came so secure and healthy. I will be ordering again
Lol the "This is not a tarantula" messages. Nice job covering the bases for people that may not be able to recognize a true spider from a tarantula while also exposing them to the possiblity of raising more than just tarantulas.
I always wondered how it was they got them in the paper towels in the FIRST place! especially the truly tiny ones. That's got to be a process and a half. Thanks for the excellent video!
I get the tarantula into a funnel and gently prod it until it goes into the paper towel tube. Sometimes, they go in quite willingly, because the paper towel tube seems like a safe refuge in comparison to the funnel.
The first time I held a snake was about 7 years ago in the island of Bohol, Philippines (awesome island paradise btw). After that I became enamored with exotic animals. I've been watching this channel among many others like Clint's Reptiles, Snake Discovery, Tarantula Kat, etc. I currently have 2 tarantulas and 3 different snakes. I think(know) my collection will grow because there's a reptile expo 1 hour away from me on April 24. Thanks for the awesome content, Richard.
For tarantula keepers in the UK the spider shop is a great dealer I highly recommend them. they have an alive on arrival garentee they do one day delivery and wont send out if the weathers too cold to reduce the chance on DOA.
I’m so thankful for this video! I underestimated how tiny my 3 new little ones were from Fear Not Tarantulas, so having the backup enclosures prepared with smaller holes saved me a lot of hassle (and heartbreak I’m sure). Thanks for the guide :D
Ah man, I needed this yesterday when I unboxed and rehoused my first 2 Ts. It was super exciting but I'll admit the first one was pretty intimidating since it was a bit larger than I expected.
My slings came today! 🤯🎉 they are beautiful! I got a GBB, Bahia Scarlet, Curly Hair! I've rehoused successfully with no issues at all! I have bearded dragons so the nerves wasn't really there.
Been keeping tarantulas for years and have opened many packages lol but i still watch your vids! Super informative and great for new hobbyists! Great vid
Got my Eresus walckenaeri, I'm so stoked to finally have one in the family! Richard is the best RUclipsr for tarantulas and inverts out there by far. It is a ritual of mine to watch these videos when housing or rehousing a species.
One thing that I don't think you mentioned about the shipping options, if I remember correctly Fedex is the only one that you can legally ship tarantulas/venomous animals with, so its probably a red flag if a seller offers any other company. omg I have to add, when I got my first two T's I wasn't expecting to get addicted so I though that getting one of those larger pressure sprayers would be unnecessary for me. I ended up getting a little spray bottle that you have to squeeze repeatedly to dispense water and that was such a huge mistake xD the thing barely was enough to fill the two water dishes and by the end my hand was cramping from having to squeeze so many damn times. I now have a proper pressure sprayer and its a life saver, so to any new keeper reading this don't make this mistake, even if you only have a few T's getting a larger pressure sprayer is absolutely necessary! (unrelated to the video sorry, I just remembered this when you mentioned to have your water sprayer handy)
Sort of. Technically, it is also against FedEx policy to ship venomous animals or non-venomous animals unless you're a business shipping to a business. However, this is not *illegal* -- just against company policy. I summarized the legality of various U.S. shipping options here: arachnoboards.com/threads/law-on-shipping-live-invertebrates.291310/
Thanks to your content and recommendations, and the lovely community of spider content creators, I've got a pair of spiderlings on order from Fear Not Tarantulas :) and I am so, so excited to do my best to raise them up. Really appreciate you all sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm.
Favourite/only dealer for me is Tarantula Canada. I am indebted to them for getting me a 1.5" Female B. hamorii. My dream tarantula back in 2011. She came in a small vial. I unpacked her as gently as possible. Now, she is a glorious 4.5-5" beauty. Use common sense. Setup the enclosure BEFORE you get the animal, be patient on the initial transfer and you'll have a pet to enjoy for (hopefully) many years. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Awesome, awesome video, Richard! The community needed thorough videos like this and you keep hitting the best topics. Keep up the great work. You're an asset to us ❤🕷❤
Last month i got my first tarantula. It made me sad she was discounted because she only has 7 legs so j names her "Siete". And thanks to watching your videos she now has a nice comfy forever home :D
@@tarantulacollective Thats what ive been told and found doing research :D btw, is there a video on how tk tell when they are about to molt? Do theg start losing hairs or become waxy looking?
I live in Canada. Our biggest breeder here is Tarantula Canada and they do groups shipments to my area every few months. You split the cost of shipping so it save you a lot of money. Saved me $70 on shipping the last time I was part of a group shipment.
Super useful information. Love the list of reputable sellers. Another note I would like to add, a lot of times you can have a package held at a location other then a hub. There is usually a list of FedEx pickup locations you can pick from. For me I have mine sent to a Walgreens near me. Its a temperature controlled environment and it makes it an easy pickup for me since I'm usually at work on days of my deliveries and I can't be home. My nearest FedEx location won't let me have packages held there for some reason
This man has help me with everything to get for my first T a pink toe. And boy is he a moody one. But I love my Genesis. Thank you so much for your videos, they are a big help.
Just picked up 4 slings from fear not tarantulas yesterday. all arrived perfect! smaller then i expected lol so had to get creative with enclosures. Next time i will definantly get the set up included with the slings. customer service is just great. Plus gotta love the freebies! it definantly makes me want to buy some more from her. Surprisingly fedex hub didnt ask for my id. Just my name and what company sent it and a signature, that was it.
Great video! I've watched yours and Tom Moran's unboxing videos when I ordered my first T and my rehoming went well. Thanks for being so newbie friendly, I send new new-comers to yours and Tom Moran's Playlist often.
Small-time spider daddy here. I only have three slings but was recommended to use Tarantulas Canada (I live in Ontario) for slings. I have only had GREAT service from them. Ordered a Red Knee as my first sling and was offered a Curly Hair as a freebie. Just recently got a C. Versicolor from them and it is beautiful! Such a cute little guy at only 1/2". All of the slings arrived safe and healthy and I have had no issues with them at all. And their responses via e-mail are usually same or next day. Very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. If you are Canadian and looking to start out with tarantulas, I highly recommend Tarantula Canada.
When I first got into the hobby a couple years ago I ordered from Swift Inverts here in the US :) highly recommend, the knowledge, experience, and quality was amazing.
Actually getting new tarantulas and doing rehouses are my favorite thing to do. I love designing enclosure because I find it relaxing and its the only time I interact with my Ts is during rehouses or unboxing. Great video and glad you could get your hands on a panama finally.
Debated on getting into tarantulas for along time because I use to help out my brother with his. Watched all your videos and felt better about doing it on my own. 4 months ago first purchase from fearnottarantulas and got 10. Now I have 21 in my collection. Yea, I'm addicted to them. Thank you 😆
i normally pop the lid pull out a little bit of the moss place vial in enclosure and let them come out on their own and then remove vial later i always use a tote or the bathtub with a covered drain. never had a squish.
Great video Richard!! A cool follow up would be how they package them in the tubes, vials, straws n such. I’ve always wondered how they get it so rolled up but the spider isn’t crushed.
Fear not Tarantulas is my go to dealer in my limited experience. A odd little coincidence they are located in Virginia Beach my old hometown makes me smile just like when I realized your from W VA all my family lives in and around Martinsburg...makes it all familiar some how
Hi..Fear Not Tarantulas are awesome! Great customer service, as well as patient with a newbie like me! Also Pinchers and Pokies! I love them both! Honestly I was amazed what great customer service they both have. These days thats rare, so it was refreshing shoping for T's! I only ordered once from Micro Wilderness but they were great as well. Im grateful for all the info in your videos. Thanks!
When I got my first order I got some C Versicolors and they were like 05 inches and the first one that I opened jumped onto my hand and oh my god I thought I was going to die it scared me so much lol but then I just worked it into the enclosure and everything was fine but man did I act like a little girl for a second lol
2:45.this is excellent advice. My G. pulchripes turned up just yesterday, she was waaaaay smaller than I expected, and the enclosure I had ready for her, the vent holes were way too big. A 1/3" spiderling has a TINY body.
If it makes you feel any better my province is really strict about certain animals. They're not illegal per say, only native species are. So desert foxes are cool and African crows but no red foxes or regular corvids. Canada has no native species of tarantula, thus theyre a ok hahaha
Okay unboxing, no biggie. My question is how the frick do you get them in there. Lol maybe it is said in this video, I’m still in the process of watching. My son is getting started with the spiders. He is just enamored with em. Keep up the good work man. Love your species specific video style. Edit:Damn those little enclosures are sick. So clean looking.
I ordered a Brachypelma hamorii (Mexican redknee), Grammostola pulchra (Brazilian black, which has been difficult for me to find over the past few months), and Theraphosa stirmi (Goliath birdeater) from Underground Reptiles in Florida and couldn't be happier. Not only are the animals gorgeous and their prices very fair but their customer service is amazing. They exceeded my expectations by far!
glad I seen this. I've never ordered one offline but planned on it in a couple weeks. I was gonna a go with fear not tarantulas. from the looks of It in this video that's gonna be a good choice
I’ve been watching because my son has an Arizona blond he found in our yard. I have a hard time with bugs of any kind on different levels. So I’m TRYING. But I still get freaked out for a while after seeing videos or in person. One was in my house, I found while sitting on the toilet, in the middle of the nite. A black scraggly large tarantula. Right in front of my bare feet! I put a container over her and drove to get my son at 3am for him to deal with it. He left it all nite to punish me for waking him. All I could think as I ran out into the living room was “Spider SPIder SPIIIDEEERRR!!”
Also for fast and defensive species even for slings I'd usually rehouse within another enclosure or the bath tub because u never know even a 2cm obt or cobalt blue can give you a run for your money and for nervous or first time owners it's not worth a speedy sling escaping and you having to tell parents or family I personally like the security of another tub or the bath just to minimize escapes and and the stress of looking for a needle in a haystack chances are the sling is gone forever at sling size and you'll never find it
Dude no way... one of my last videos showed me unbox and rehouse... then rehouse again a LP. Because I chose an enclosure too big at first. Luckily, I have many options. Lol
Richard good day to you. Thank you for doing this videos for us all to lead and enjoy not only your videos but mostly on how to take care of our tarantulas, spiders, scorpions and more. I am really interested in purchasing western black widow spider to add to my collections... I hope I could purchase some from you or to who you highly recommend who breeds black widow spider as a pet/collection. Thank you for your time and looking forward to hear from you. Jojo
Hello, I follow all your videos and I love it. I have seen two juvenile tarantulas measuring 6cm. The terrarium is 30x20x15. Is it too big for them? thanks
You just sold me on buying and having my future spiders ship through the mail.But am don't want to have my lizard because of the virus them might leave it outside.I know that a few breeders I will have to because I not driving way out.
Hey Richard! I hope you’re ready to be hit right in the feels 😂! I just found your channel maybe a week and a half ago and just wow Richard, WOW!! Easily my new favourite Tarantula Channel and I follow 9 Tarantula Channels including yours! Really your only opponent in my opinion is Tarantula Haven, I do enjoy the other ones though! Just so you know, I do follow both your channels and your Instagram! I’m a high school student who has a passion for reptiles and arachnids. I hope to be involved with the them one day, I actually want to breed reptiles one day, it’s been my dream for years! I really hope you see this message Richard! If you have a minute, could you maybe reply? Much love from Canada Richard! I honestly don’t know what to say about your channel, it’s amazing, one of the best I’ve seen in a long long time! The quality, your sense of humour, I could go on and on and on Richard but I’ll end it here! Really hope you reply!
Thanks a lot Noah! That means a lot and is very nice to hear. And I can't blame you about Tarantula Haven, he is one of my favorite channels as well, and we have started becoming pretty good friends over the past few years. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
@@tarantulacollective Thank you for taking the time to reply Richard! Huge fan and I’ve been here for less than 2 weeks 🤣! Over the coming months I’ll be catching up on both of your channels, obviously this one will take longer to do so than the second. You deserved every word in my first comment Richard, like I said you are probably my favourite RUclipsr, funny thing is I found you through Tarantula Haven ( somewhat).
I just got a sling in the mail but she wasn’t in a death curl when I got her just lifeless an didn’t respond to touch or anything I took her out took a picture for my dealer then put her in the enclosure she has been laying in the same spot without moving at all for the past 2 days sense I’ve unboxed her any tips

Pinchers and Pokies is within driving distance, so I can pick them up in person.
One question 🤔 should I remove My gravett Emperor scorpion From the commune so she can have her baby's?
@@dominiqueswain991 thats probably a good idea.
This man has impeccable timing. Just got my OBT spiderling in the mail
I have EYES everywhere...lol
I received my obt sling a couple weeks ago also along with a green c lividus sling 😍
That’s awesome man
Are obts venom medically significant?

That is a awesome to hear...on a personal level, they're very cool people as well.
How NOT to unbox spiderlings, by Fangs & Legs: in your car when you have a tiny, crazy c elegans! Hahaha!! Damn, I got some shit for that. 😝
At 7:00 mark in this vid ruclips.net/video/KtAmRONSlS4/видео.html
I opened my guys in the car to be sure they were alive (yay 2 hour window and living an hour away)
And i almost lost my brand new 1/3 inch baby 😱
Lol the "This is not a tarantula" messages. Nice job covering the bases for people that may not be able to recognize a true spider from a tarantula while also exposing them to the possiblity of raising more than just tarantulas.
I ordered 5 slings from FangHub and thanks to this video all of my slings are happy in their new enclosures. The GBB is even webbing it up.
Gn was my first t, amazing
I always wondered how it was they got them in the paper towels in the FIRST place! especially the truly tiny ones. That's got to be a process and a half. Thanks for the excellent video!
I get the tarantula into a funnel and gently prod it until it goes into the paper towel tube. Sometimes, they go in quite willingly, because the paper towel tube seems like a safe refuge in comparison to the funnel.

South African government: How about we make most of these illegal to own
Eh, the city where I live, it's illegal to own tarantulas... shhhh... I have 7 now ;)
True 🤣

My black widow just came, so I came back to this video. She’s now chilling on a branch in her jar.
I love your shirt lol
Awesome 👌!!
I am waiting on my Asian fawn T and Asian forest scorpion. Temps too low to post atm. Cant wait to unbox them though. X
I’ve been watching because my son has an Arizona blond he found in our yard. I have a hard time with bugs of any kind on different levels. So I’m TRYING. But I still get freaked out for a while after seeing videos or in person. One was in my house, I found while sitting on the toilet, in the middle of the nite. A black scraggly large tarantula. Right in front of my bare feet! I put a container over her and drove to get my son at 3am for him to deal with it. He left it all nite to punish me for waking him. All I could think as I ran out into the living room was “Spider SPIder SPIIIDEEERRR!!”
great video! very informative. Fear not ftw
I just unboxed my Poeciltheria Metallica from Eresus.
awesome! great species!
How many P. Metallicas are in your collection Richard?
@@theblueburrow1801 Right now I have 4
Are all of yours kept Communal? If so what size enclosure would you keep for 3 sub-adults?
@@theblueburrow1801 none of them are actually. I keep them all in separate enclosures.
Fear not tarantulas and swifts inverts are my favorites so far thay I have ordered from
i’m thinking of raising a tarantula so this is helpful
Nice shirt Richard
THAT SHIRT!
I see you play guitars too!
I found Tarantula Canada from the website. Thank you
Excelente contenido felicidades. Saludos desde México
Thanks I’m watching this a now realizing i made a few mistakes I’ll fix them tommorrow morning
My t is doing good
Some of those feedings could be Fatal Fangs worthy lol. Great video Richard. Take care. Ibnsarachnids aka rob
Can you make a video about the Dominican Purple ?
Also for fast and defensive species even for slings I'd usually rehouse within another enclosure or the bath tub because u never know even a 2cm obt or cobalt blue can give you a run for your money and for nervous or first time owners it's not worth a speedy sling escaping and you having to tell parents or family I personally like the security of another tub or the bath just to minimize escapes and and the stress of looking for a needle in a haystack chances are the sling is gone forever at sling size and you'll never find it
Hello sir! I'm a fan of yours, can you make a video about Ephebopus Murinus next time please? Thank you! I hope you notice me.
Dude no way... one of my last videos showed me unbox and rehouse... then rehouse again a LP. Because I chose an enclosure too big at first. Luckily, I have many options. Lol
Ano great video as usual! Whats the title of the background music?
In the description, I put all the titles and artists, just scroll down near the bottom
@@tarantulacollective Thanks Richard

Can you do jumping spider care or deathstalker scorpian care
is there any site you know has a honduran curlyhair that can ship? I dont want to buy from a chain store but thats all that i can find atm...
Richard good day to you. Thank you for doing this videos for us all to lead and enjoy not only your videos but mostly on how to take care of our tarantulas, spiders, scorpions and more.
I am really interested in purchasing western black widow spider to add to my collections... I hope I could purchase some from you or to who you highly recommend who breeds black widow spider as a pet/collection. Thank you for your time and looking forward to hear from you. Jojo
Hello, I follow all your videos and I love it. I have seen two juvenile tarantulas measuring 6cm. The terrarium is 30x20x15. Is it too big for them? thanks
You just sold me on buying and having my future spiders ship through the mail.But am don't want to have my lizard because of the virus them might leave it outside.I know that a few breeders I will have to because I not driving way out.
Hey Richard!
I hope you’re ready to be hit right in the feels 😂!
I just found your channel maybe a week and a half ago and just wow Richard, WOW!! Easily my new favourite Tarantula Channel and I follow 9 Tarantula Channels including yours! Really your only opponent in my opinion is Tarantula Haven, I do enjoy the other ones though!
Just so you know, I do follow both your channels and your Instagram!
I’m a high school student who has a passion for reptiles and arachnids.
I hope to be involved with the them one day, I actually want to breed reptiles one day, it’s been my dream for years!
I really hope you see this message Richard! If you have a minute, could you maybe reply?
Much love from Canada Richard!
I honestly don’t know what to say about your channel, it’s amazing, one of the best I’ve seen in a long long time! The quality, your sense of humour, I could go on and on and on Richard but I’ll end it here!
Really hope you reply!
Thanks a lot Noah! That means a lot and is very nice to hear. And I can't blame you about Tarantula Haven, he is one of my favorite channels as well, and we have started becoming pretty good friends over the past few years. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
@@tarantulacollective Thank you for taking the time to reply Richard!
Huge fan and I’ve been here for less than 2 weeks 🤣!
Over the coming months I’ll be catching up on both of your channels, obviously this one will take longer to do so than the second.
You deserved every word in my first comment Richard, like I said you are probably my favourite RUclipsr, funny thing is I found you through Tarantula Haven ( somewhat).
What do u do when you unbox the sling an she isn’t in death curl but laying lifeless for over 2 days?
I just got a sling in the mail but she wasn’t in a death curl when I got her just lifeless an didn’t respond to touch or anything I took her out took a picture for my dealer then put her in the enclosure she has been laying in the same spot without moving at all for the past 2 days sense I’ve unboxed her any tips
Hi do you think you can help me find a Chaco golden knee female adult? :( or real smithi female adult? I’ve been looking everywhere no luck
