- Acanthoscuria geniculata, The Brazilian Giant White Knee pairing
The pairing of our A.gen was filled with excitement the females of these spiders can be very hard on the males and many males get eaten at the last moment , our male was very lucky we was there to help him out .

He must have been telling her cheap terrible pick up lines and that is why it took so long. If he had better pick up lines she might not have tried to grab him.😁
Lol
Spine tingling finish Dave!!!!! Spectacular pair of tarantulas!!! Goes to show... some women are just evil!!! Lol!!!😅🤣😂 Another great video!!!
Your voice over is my new david attenborough
❤❤❤
Dave, I have had a deathly fear of spiders for a very long time. I have been watching your videos now for about a month. I have a whole new appreciation for the spider 🕷 and their beauty because of your expertise and husbandry. I am thinking about getting a little miniature tarantula of my own. Today what you did was phenomenal! Bravo sir!!! 😊😊
That’s awesome my friend ❤👍
I've got a soft spot for the geniculatas. Such beautiful spiders and they're not shy either
Great display spiders 👍
Crikey! He nearly got fang banged! You saved his life, no doubt. Maybe even hers as he might of got upset enough to start swinging his fangs?
I just love the way they interact. I have come to love the tapping part of the courtship.❤️
Really glad you were able to help the male escape.
Male Spider: GET ME OUT!!!!! GET ME OUT!!!!! -------- Cockroach: GET M................................
It's almost like they've been married for years and they need a holiday to find that spark. Another great video.
Props to you for supervising them for so long, you have saved a life this day!
He’s gonna be like, children this is how I met your mother and how I almost died in the process 😂
Quick intervention well played
Great save Dave! I always hate it when the male doesn't survive. It's especially disappointing if he doesn't even get insertion. Glad this fella escaped.
5:10: The male:" Any naughty girls on the line?" 😜
My favourite all round species, I've got 3 and they are all huge, always active and always ready to take food.
That was a wild ride for your male at the end! Such an interesting video. I've learned so much about spiders from your videos and you~what an amazing teacher you are, seriously!! My daughter can't believe that instead of killing spiders I'm now catching them up and setting them free outside!! I couldn't even look at pictures of them a year ago! What you and Camera Lady have done for arachnaphobes the world over does not go unappreciated Sir!! 🌟🕷😃👏
Im very humbled my friend ❤️❤️👍
I think it’s wonderful! Absolutely the best channel for curing arachnophobia, no jump scares or sensationalism, just calm fascinating commentary. I look for these comments and rejoice 😊 So well done Dave ❤️
@@Solitude11-11 Thank you so much ❤❤❤
2.5k slings?!?!?!?!😱😱😱
Holy crap, I bet your glamorous camera-lady had fun with all those 🤣
@25 mins she's deffinatly sulking 🤣
good save!! That ol boy was almost lunch
Glad you saved the fellow. Love is fleeting. One wrong move and your lunch.
Goodmorning Dave and Sweet Camera Lady and that's a huge amount of spiderlings to take care of if you are lucky and if you don't want that amount you can find yourself unlucky! It's not fare if you don't have as you say a plan for it and i agree! Life is life...respect! Now I will watch the video and as usual I'm sure it will be amazing! Have a happy end of the week and weekend, hugs from me 👩🦳 and Trollet🐱🐾❤️.
The enclosure is a beuty!!!!
I saw you having a cuppa back there! Superb enclosure and another excellent, very dramatic video. Another testimony to your handling skills
Thank you 🙏
This beautiful Male Spider he was given a second chance to spread his wings
It’s great he was ready for action
Thank you for saving him
That Hissing Cockroach that doesn’t hiss it’s a shame they are used for food
He is saying, " come o'le girl, be sweet now, and lets get these formalities overwith, so you can get on with your business of producing your lovely egg sac filled with all those precious little eggs " 😉 😌😄
Michigan 🌷🐦🇺🇸
Cant blame him, I'd be apprehensive too!
OMG! I didn't realize I was holding my breath. That pairing was unbelievable. She was deliberately trying to wear him out for the death blow! Cudos to you for saving the day!
I think we’ve all been there where those spiders were. Too’ing and fro’ing, mixed signals, or doing ‘all’ the work. I’ve some sympathy now!
It's so fascinating to me how little we still know about these creatures. So interesting to see their habits!
WOW! I can not believe you gently pinned her down allowing him time to wrangle a position for escape! Bravo! Impressive. Looked like she lost interest along the way. Then after he fumbled about, she pretty much fell asleep on him. Only to awaken after a tumble down hill. He was trying to get her down on a level playing field. She was like "nah". The female in this case was "not helping." Hope you get a bagillian babies! Great work on your part. Good luck! May the rest go smoothly!
Thank you 🙏
I woke up to pee. This should help me get back to dreaming. Thank you! ♥️😊🕷️🕸️
Very good advice about breeding spiders and making sure you have a home for them, cause even 100 babies is too much to keep for yourself. Dave is always great at warning us if a male is going to become lunch so that we can skip ahead if we want. This was stunning, such beautiful spiders!
Agreed, I'm sure many appreciate Dave's sensitivity in warning us about his male's fate!
That was scary at the end! I'm glad you could save him
Dave I know a while back you had the issue of fans dissing other tarantula enthusiasts. The fact of the matter is that there is someone on the net that gives out false information so for a beginner like me I so very much appreciate your channel.
Thank you we really appreciate your support my friend ❤👍
Oh dear. She was trying to have him. Glad you saved him.
As the saying goes - 'It's a thin line between love and hate'!
My Indian violets took 14 hours . Was crazy but thanks to your videos on them I had heard they take some time lol
Man, she is absolutely gorgeous. Great video Dave. Tyfs God bless you
🙏 thank you
@@daveslittlebeasties yw🙏
There’s my girl, she my favourite spider in your collection. So chill, when she was next to your desk she looked she was always watching what you were doing. Miss seeing her in your videos, chilling out in the back ground.
Not sure why, but everytime I watch these pairings I am tightly gripping the arms of my chair.
Your enclosures are amazing! thanks for your videos Dave!
Thank you so much
Be Calm, Be Gentle and Love Your Spider
The idea of ever pairing a. geniculata is terrifying to me after watching mine eat ;)
And now we have good audio. Thank you.
Thank you for the caution about having a definite destination in mind for any spiderlings you breed. One of my major issues with breeders of any kind of animals is their seeming disregard for the fate of the little ones they create. My opinion is that if you help create the life you are responsible for it. (I do really love everything about your channel.)
Thank you 🙏
Yippee!!! Another great vid👍❤️❤️thanks Dave and Super Camera Woman.
Thank you guys so much. Very beautiful enclosure with the fungus on the bark and the greenery. These Geniculata are massive. Spectacular ending. Lots of Arthropods in the soil once he kicked up the leaf litter. 🪳🙏🏼for an egg sac soon❤️👍🏼Take care and thank you for your passion for the hobby
So nice of you❤️❤️❤️
Wow! That was intense! I love the big spider pairings. I think your male there really likes foreplay and your female is a bit of a tease.🤣 I hope you gave him a great big fat roach as well, seeing as he did all the work. Thanks again for an amazing video. Now I can turn out the light and go to sleep. Have a lovely end to your week and we will see you both on Sunday. Take care and stay safe.
This channel is unlike any other Tarantula channel
Very entertaining and informative
This channel should be so much bigger
Thanks for the great content Dave 👍
Thank you so much 😀feel free to share everywhere my friend ❤️👍
This is one of my favorite T's, they are just so gorgeous, he must be sensing something's just not quite right with her, great brushwork Dave nice save. From her body language I thought she would always going to pounce on him because she wouldn't leave The High Ground.
You are the David Attenborough of the spider world! Amazing! The enclosure you made for her is lovely and suitable for such a queen!
These 2 are the same pattern and it was hard to see what legs belong to what's spider but I loved it, good job Shaving the Guy
I have to wonder how long these courtships take in the wild, and how often they're interrupted by a passing animal, or outright shutdown by a hungry predator
Edit: Wow that got spicy! Very close call for the Male there. Good thing the hand of Dave was ready to intervene!
Wow oh wow that's a crazy pairing. Man if the male hadn't had to do all the work during the pairing, he could of held her off at the end I think, but very glad you stepped in to his rescue, love your videos keep up the hard work.
Beautiful! They look like somebody playing the piano 🎹. At the end there, it looked like the male stumbled and accidentally fell on the female which made her react instinctively. Thank you for another wonderful video!
Another fantastic video!
This has always been my favorite species, the one a I had when I was still able to keep them behaved more like a puppy than a spider. She never postured and a don't think she ever even kicked hairs. Used to watch TV with me lol.
Nice save Dave!
If this were anybody else I'm fairly sure the male would be a goner.
Thank you 🙏
What a beautiful spider 🕷💖
How many !!!!!!!!!! I sent a male off once and the female produced 500 slings, but 2,500 ! If I had that many geniculata slings I’d be on Valium 😬😬😬😬
😂😂😂they have big sacs
that got very hairy at the end there lucky you were on top of it and saved him. it almost looked like she was going to take him at any second from the get go 😲
hopefully we see loads of babies soon 👍😊
Excellent paintbrush skills demonstrated
Hi Dave that was such a fantastic pairing. She played hard to get, but he never gave up. They were so beautiful. That paint brush is a great life saver. I love your channel. Your narration is so interesting, and great information. Camera lady is so wonderful at getting the best view, it may not always be easy to get. I am glad that his leg is ok. 🕷️🕸️Cindy USA
Many thanks
Thank you, this video was amazing. I am glad you helped him survive.
This, is lucky Phil!
So much going on in these pairings it is very fascinating. Was glued to my screen for 30 minutes :)
Thanks!! Take care.
Thank you 🙏
Wow ! That male was indeed very lucky. A few millimeters more and he was lunch ! Both are incredibly gorgeous. Best of luck for the 2nd pairing attempt. Hopefully then, the male still gets to live another day.
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
He did and went on to another breeder👍
Great video DAVE , always full of good information, little bit hairy there chat!
Very satisfying seeing a successful rescue at the end. Live another day!
From the start of the first interaction between them, it felt like she knew she wanted to eat the poor guy.
Fantastic video Dave!
That poor guy had his work cut out with her!
Great save though, I thought she'd got him but it seems he's living his best life 😂😂
Fingers crossed 🤞 🖤🕷️
What a lucky guy 🤣
Dave that tank has grown on lovely,stunning home for such a brute of a spider
Cheers buddy 👍
Nice save on that one!! It kinda seems like the fern also helped out his situation, she wasn’t able to fully grab him 😅
Dave, I am all about naturalistic enclosures and I have to say, this one has grown in nicely. I love it! Great video as usual.
Dave you have so much knowledge, you should write a Beasties book for breeding spiders, with some lovely photos of your beauties and the eggs with legs and slings.
Fantastic idea, I would definitely purchase!
Can really hear the mossy frogs at the end there. Thought your male - or female- was a goner this time! You got there just in time to prevent certain death there. I wondered about her intentions from the time she stopped drumming and, as you pointed out, was poised in a manner that suggested she may pounce. I think she was completely torn about what she was going to do from then on. Self preservation, or a big meal and self preservation? I thought from then that he was toast. Good save!
The juice was almost no worth the squeeze for that fella. lol
Fascinating to watch how they communicate with one another. My A.Geniculata is still only a small juvenile looking forward to watching em grow to this size.
As to what his drumming is saying to her, I believe Prof. Marvin Gaye decoded that in 1973. Thanks for the video.
❤👍
Thriller again! She was a bit mad at Him. I think She didn't displayed Her Fangs so He couldn't secure Her with His Hooks that made Him struggling. But You really did a great Job on saving Him.👍
Thank you 🙏
God damn love you Dave!!!
❤❤❤
I like the warning you give. I do like to know if I’m going to see a sad ending so thanks for that. These are very pretty spiders!! ❤️and that enclosure isn’t half bad either! ☺️
Glad you like them!
We do know what he’s saying to her Dave.He’s saying….
“Stop playing hard to get. Get yer knickers off girl!”
😂😂😂
Great pairing Dave I really enjoyed that,u made the right call saving the Male.and thank you for sharing this great pairing.
Thanks 👍
I'm glad you can't hear my answers to your questions and comments in this video, Dave. "I wonder what the male is thinking," indeed! We all know what he's thinking! LOL! Great video. 😀 she sure was playing hard to get.
Beautiful spiders and as always great camera work.
Lovely video and scary too! I'm glad you were there to help the male. Whew! AND...I absolutely love your frogs commentary too! ;)
They get in on everything 😂😂😂
Gorgeous tarantulas!! 😍🕷🕷 Thank you for saving the male!
I find your videos absolutely fascinating but NO WAY would I ever keep one 😂. Keep the videos coming Dave
Thank you 🙏
Holy crap what a great save Dave
I love geniculata, I have 4 and they are all amazing. I have 2 confirmed females and confirmed male but my male is still juvenile and only 1 of my females is an adult. Eventually my plan is to try and breed them and this video im going to use as reference. I completely agree with what you said about how sensitive they are to vibrations, when moving any of my enclosures I make sure to do it slowly and will always put the enclosure down as gently as possible to try and avoid any unneeded stress. I can safely say any fear I once had for arachnids has changed into full on respect for them. Couple of months ago I tried to pair my N. incei, I had their enclosures next to each other for a week prior to trying to mate them and that definitely helped as I believe they sensed each other, reason I think that is because I tried to feed the female a day before I was planning on breeding them and they female initially tapped at the roach almost as if she started drumming so I think she thought it was the male. Anyway I got the roach out and next day I opened both enclosures and encouraged the male to climb over into her enclosure, as soon as his legs touched her enclosure I stopped encouraging him and allowed him to walk in on his own time, well he walked into her enclosure, felt her webbing and doesn't drum or shake but just walks straight upto her and when straight to trying to mate with her, she didn't appreciate that and chased him. About 5 mins later and they are actually breeding, I had the biggest smile on my face seeing it. They kept breeding for about 5 hours in total going back and forth. Sadly last month she moulted but I'm going to try again
This may have not succeeded but think of all that you have learnt from it ❤️👍
Oh my gosh I was thinking right after you said the name of the spider "I think that's the spider he had on his very first video" and then you said it right after. That's crazy lol
Good save. She was obviously hungry.
She is very well fed 😂
Omg that was close.
This was so interesting and the camera work was excellent. 👍
Great video/pairing, thanks for documenting!! Really was an epic save at the end, there, haha! Salvation from the fangs of defeat!😅👍
OH I CAN ATTEST TO THAT, YOU HAVE TO OWN ONE TO APPRECIATE HOW BIG THEY REALLY ARE, 🖤🕷🕸
I really like the white knee/skeleton leg varieties with the black/white contrast. If this male had been much smaller I'm not sure you would have been able to save him. She seemed to have a bit of nefarious intentions right from the start. Naughty girl lol
That is a crazy number of eggs. I hope you have similar luck this time.
Hi Dave !! I picked up a 41/2 inch Brazilian White Knee female tonight !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great choice ❤️👍
Boom….first out of the gate!
Also….please elaborate on flask usage! Hahaha
