Dave, just wanna congratulate you on the way you treat spiders, gentle and with respect, regardless of their preceding reputation. I hope more people learns this from you.
Thank you kindly❤️❤️❤️
A lot of tarantula keeper's all learn a lot from DLB and CAM LADY, including myself 🕷🕸👍
Hi Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕 hope you’re both doing well today!
What another epic video from The BEST spider/tarantula and other Beasties Channel out there…
That was a very interesting pairing between two prime examples of Funnel Web Spiders 🕷🕷
This was a very, dare I just say Romantic encounter 🥰🥰 And it was so nice to let him see his days out with the female. Also to take him to the Festival to get him immortalised, so you’ll always have him 🥰🕷
Fingers crossed that you’ll have a viable egg sac 🤞🤞🤞
Thanks again Dave and Camera Lady 💙💕🥰xxxx
I love that you continue to study this *elusive species. We don’t know much about them, and I’ve yet to see any other keeper with a pair. 😄 always an interesting video!
"Elusive"
@@None-zc5vg oof, didn’t notice that. 🙃 thanks fam.
So nice of you
@@daveslittlebeasties what spiders are they?
What a sweet couple... the pairing had this "gentle romance vibe". Absolutely fantastic footage!!! Thanks for sharing. 😍
Rest in peace, little male. Hopefully the pairings were a success. *fingers crossed*
Amazing as usual. I even catch my 5 and 3 yr old watching now on they’re iPads. That says a lot.
That is awesome!❤️❤️❤️
Wow she is so much larger!!!!
The little fella looked quite large when you initially put him in! But as soon as they were in frame together he looked itty bitty !
Great video mate loved the tip on the constant contact with the paintbrush when moving them around! atb.
You move your fingers like the spider's legs tapping away💖🕸🕷
Hello and hope you enjoyed your day and hope everything works out
Wow Dave, what a stunning video... 👌👍😊 Never seen something like that, so much details...this looks like spider Kamasutra 🕸️💖
Spider Kama Sutra!🤣👍😄🥰
That was absolutely awesome !!!
Well, we've definitely witnessed very different behaviors this time... Hopefully your cohabitation attempt worked and he didn't die in vain.
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
I’ve been looking forward to seeing these spiders again. Thanks Dave and Camera Lady.
Fab pairing! The Japanese Funnel Web is a very impressive looking spider, and very different from the tarantulas in many ways. Her red fangs are extraordinary - what a brave chap he is!
It's a measure of the great keepers you are that you take so much time to observe and learn from their natural behaviours, then adjust your methods accordingly. That way they - and you - get the smoothest possible interactions. And hopefully in this case, a fruitful end result in the form of a healthy egg sac. Fingers crossed!
I didn't realise I was a fan of arachnids till I watched DAVE'S LITTLE BEASTIES! Cheers Dave and Camera Lady, sterling work as always! 💖🕷🕸💖🕷🕸💖🕷🕸💖🕷🕸💖🕷🕸💖
Thank you so very much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a magnificent video!!! No beating your commentary, hope you get a great sac out of it, so daddy lives on 🖤🖤🖤 thank you Mr and Mrs Dave 🙏🥰🤗
awesome video Dave! 10:35 you can get a really good scale of the size difference between the two
I really like how you explain everything and how you tell us how you experiment with the timing of the paring. I think that you are gathering more information on these animals than the scientific community has so far. Just fantastic!
Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
mum came in to give me a cuppa when i started watching this video and said pointing at the screen "i dont like the look of that" so i was like "youre lucky i just started" and scrolled through a few minutes to show the funell webs, she screamed LOL
This was so amazing to watch. Have to say Dave uve got such a calming voice and explained everything so clearly its was so fascinating to watch ❤
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Dave, that was fascinating, I find it so exciting that you're sharing your learning experience with us regarding this species.. You've previously stated that there's practically no info about them which is why I feel like I'm witnessing ground breaking footage in the science of these awesome spiders... You said you weren't sure if he was uncomfortable or if this is courtship... I'd like to say, I think you know how to provide comfortable homes for your beasties, so I do believe we're seeing courtship, but wow, talk about breathtaking... Awesome photography, narration and very entertaining, half hour seemed like 10 minutes...
I think you are making ground breaking footage and information, future keepers will have so much owing to Dave's little Beasties... Thankyou for another brilliant episode of the Macrothele Gigas saga...(how are the Phago's coming along?)
My female is still strong I can’t find a male 😢
Fascinating David and Sweet Camera Lady and I hope you will get an eggsack from this pairing! Thank you both for yet another great video, take care! Susanne
Good day! ❤
Excited for this one, intrigued even more so when Dave said it was quite different behavior than before. Of course any videos of this species is interesting and lovely!
"extending on the male now"
"it's literally sticking right out"
"5 inches or so"
🤣🤣🤣
I know, right? Those double entendres are LEGION!😄😜
Very unusual! Very little webbing in enclosure, these 2 were almost calm about the act, very interesting to watch. Thank you Dave and T. 😘💗💙🌻
Dave ur amazing at documenting the spider and tarantulas I'm studying them first school and ur giving me amazing info and footage thank you 😊 🙏
That’s awesome ❤️👍
I have been patiently waiting for you to revisit these spiders, ever since the first video when you first housed them!
I'm terrified of spiders but I've had to go and subscribe to this channel now because I'm so invested in this pairing saga!! 😆😁 They're fascinating creatures.. thank you for such interesting and unique content!
Thank you 🙏
Me too!
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us, Dave! Love and best wishes from Florida, USA!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
VERY INTERESTING!!! REALLY enjoy your videos!!! It would be SO COOL to meet your videographer sometime...SHE is amazing as well!!!
You can actually briefly see her in the reflection of some enclosures in the videos and in the video where they re-arranged the Beastie Room, you can get a good look at her as well! Dave has said to me many times though that she is quite shy. He has told me before that if she notices her reflection in the enclosures that she convinces Dave to redo that clip. But when she shows herself, the fans will be happy. At this point, Camera Lady is almost as famous if not more than Dave.
Been Following this from the beginning. Very excited to see the results.
8:40 the female showing a bit of ankle down there, that was all the rage for male Japanese funnel web spiders of the 1900s hahaha
Pretty hot stuff
😂😂😂👍
😄🥰
My favorite! Thank you for the great video. I love these guys.
My fav she is beautiful very powerful spider amazing how hairy she is absolut stunning girl isnt she. Thanks dave and camera lady.
Amazing...
Thanks a lot 😊
Really enjoy your great videos and your very keen observations. Also your calm, gentle handling. Thank you for taking the time to learn so much and for the graciousness to pass it on.
❤️❤️❤️
Wow,an incredible species you do a crackin job narrating too.absolutely splendiferous.Cheers Dave
So nice of you
Very cool! I'm learning so much from your channel. On another note, the crickets in the background nearly drove me nuts. I kept thinking something was squeaky in my house until I realized it was in the video! 🤣
Love these guys. Funnel webs are awesome.
Great video, really looking hopeful there, Dave. Seems like the best funnel web pairing that I can recall you getting on video. Please update us if she produces an egg sac 🤞
Fingers crossed 🤞
He was trying to be a "gentleman" because he didn't want to be invited to dinner; him being the " main course," because at the end, he knew it was time to go! She let him know to "hit the bricks, buddy!
I don't know anything about these particular spiders, so it was a learning experience for me.
As far as being bitten by Tarantulas, I was holding a Tuscan Blonde once and although I made no sudden movement and she bit me right on my open palm. The pain wasn't too bad, but I never picked her up again. The only other time I was bitten was when 2 of my 6 Chilean Rose Tarantulas got into the same enclosure and began fighting! I tried to separate them and unfortunately one bit me right on my finger! Good thing that was it! It was a custom made aquarium, but it just wasn't as secure as I thought it should be and 1 got through a slight opening in the top and into the other which was supposed to hold 4 separate spiders in a 20 gallon long tank.😮 But I managed to save them both, one with liquid bandage applied to the top of her abdomen and both lived a total of 18 years after that encounter back in 1988! They were my 1rst 2 Tarantulas I ever bought. The Tucson Blonde, I bought about 1991.
Wow, I enjoyed your wee story there 😮
I didny even think tarantulas were in the UK in 1988.
So you had 4 spiders 😮is that right ??
And after u got bitten first time u were ok?? A poisonous 🕷 as well!?
Then u got bitten again when one spider 🕷 managed to get into another spiders enclosure? You separated 2 spiders when they fought!? So you got bit when u pulled them apart ? And then - you used bandage on hurt spider ?? Is that right?? How 🤔 ❓ was it to stop blood from a bite?? Sorry I've no common sense, I need things thoroughly explained to me..😮
And what kind bit u again?? All same kind spiders? Dave has every kind of spider so he's probably got ur kind too......18 years lifespans aswell 😮 My God Almighty - u must've really cared good for them...plus I think Dave said the men die quicker than the women. So was it women u had?? Or did u breed yours??
I've no spiders. I was quite feart by them, then I came across Dave's channel by chance last year and I'm a bit more chilled and I've been able to catch a couple and release out the windy. I canny believe how popular the hobby is. I never imagined that so many folks would keep spiders - however I think it's so cool 😎
I hope u get this reply !! as some reply comments on RUclips I don't receive notifications for.
All the best 🕷 🕸 guy 💙🙏🏻✝️🇬🇧 fae freezing glesga
Hello great video information Dave
Thanks buddy 😌
I think the male really wants a good position it is because that female is so big And she can take him out Easy He's very small compared to her, Good job love it
I think lately your commentary has gotten even better. Amazing camera work as well. Spectacular video, thanks for uploading ❤
Thank you 🙏
I know they're food, but the crickets did really provide some nice atmosphere to this video lol.
Always appreciate your channel and the work you do. I’ve always had a massive phobia of spiders but watching your videos and how you handle them has helped me get a little more comfortable and gain a new respect for them I didn’t have prior. If a smaller one ends up in the house I am more likely to try and safely move it outside. The giant house spiders I sometimes get here are a bit of a different story still but hey it’s progress LOL
Underlying your excellent commentary is the sound of crickets (I think) which sounds like castanets giving their pairing a background like a tango😁
RIP spyder-dude! Hahaha...was just thinking...perhaps it was a "sympathy pairing" as the female sensed the male was on his way out?!?
I always look forward to your videos.
fingers crossed for this to be a success , and again a brilliant video.
Thank you for yet another awesome video!
Now I see why you wait until after they molt to pair. Great video.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I saw them pair twice (before he started cleaning himself). It was very clear. He first inserted the left, then the right, before he pulled back. Back to the show... Another insertion, both peti’s, more cleaning... Okay, so I saw the initial pairing with both peti’s, then the second insertion with both, then she had enough. So, I think it was a good pairing. Hopefully, she doesn’t molt out this time, but they seem to know when they have the best chance of raising their young, as most animals do. Maybe try keeping the flow of food going, along with done moisture, to now make the conditions prime for young; plentiful food & prime conditions. Fingers crossed. Much love, Shelbie =) xo 🥰 Take a close look & you’ll see that first pairing.
It really requires a 'SKY SPORTS' style, slow motion action replay doesn't it, "GOAL!!!!!"
That looked like a good pairing!! Please show time lapse as they grow, or make a long video of it all and babies
I think if anyone is gonna find out what tickles these spiders fancy it's surely gonna be you Dave, patience seems to be a key part of it... The whole act is almost painful to behold, on again off again routine but I thought there was success there, she was so gentle and calm right up to the point where she wasn't.👍😃👍
I've been wondering when we'd be seeing the Japanese Funnel Web Spiders again! Man, it was crazy how long the last pairing was.
It is amazing how these males can hold up these chunky big females, The male has skinny legs And yet very strong, Enjoy the video, Keep up the good work, You provide a great educational program 🕷🕷🕸🕷💖👏👏
Thank you so much ❤👍
You are the best 🕷️🕷️ Spiderman 🕷️🕷️,😁
❤️❤️❤️❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@glamdolly30 😂😂😂❤
a great pairing video.... wishing you luck on a successful sack!
Thanks so much!
So so interesting almost makes me forget that I'm absolutely afraid of spiders but as of late I can sit and watch these videos for hours and the way that your so calm and relaxed all the time in your videos really helps alot. And as someone with extreme arachnophobia I really appreciate your time and dedication to these truly mesmerising animals!
Thats awesome thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I also am a spider phobe but only little ones. I think subconsciously I know I won't run into one of these guys in my bathroom, so it is fun to watch. I also don't mind daddy long legs, I am only afraid of specific looking spiders because we have black widows and brown recluses in our part of the US. The black jumping spiders freak me out as well. As long as I am safe behind the computer screen though, I find them all fascinating.
I kept thinking that cricket was in my house 😂!
😂😂😂
26:38: The male:" And now home for a nice glass of brandy..."
Wow these are some stunning spiders!
Great video. Quite handsome spiders. It's a shame the lifespan of the males is relatively short. Oh well, the cycle of life.
0:01 You need a giant, blacklight Dio or Iron Maiden poster over your right shoulder on the wall. 🤟
thank you Dave for doing these videos, its very interesting, fingers crossed
Glad you like them!
Hey Dave!
Sorry for the late comment, didn`t get a chance to watch until yesterday at work on my lunch break (i was like, you know what? I`m gonna watch Dave`s video), just getting to my laptop now to write you a comment.
Great video! Honestly Dave, the pairing videos have grown on me. they used to be my least favourite video ah what`s the word i`m looking for... category, we`ll go with that. ut now, honestly, they`re my favourite videos that you post, so interesting to watch! I knew basically nothing about the body parts and anatomy of the spider about a year or two ago. If you would`ve asked me how they eat, where the emboli is, where the pedipalps is, i would have looked at you and been like: You ok bud? Do you speak another language. But, thanks to you Dave, i know basically every part of the spider and lots of cool facts about them. Thanks Dave! Then of course, you have my grandmother, from time to time i watch your videos with her and every single time, she says: Yuck! He has these monster devils in his house? What if there`s an earthquake? This guy is stupid. And i`m like: Nana, Dave has been doing this for decades, he knows what he`s doing! And i try to explain everything to her but i might as well explain your channel to a rock lol. Oh well, can`t say i didn`t try right?
Very interesting pairing, hard to believe the video is 36 minutes. The paring went by so fast! Maybe it`s because i seldom check how much time is left in a video i`m watching. But, every time i turn on your videos Dave, i CAN`T turn it off, it`s addicting and i`m hooked from the moment you start talking, you have a certain touch Dave, i`ll give you that. Very interesting how much calmer the female was this time around. unfortunate the male passed in the end but at least he served his purpose if you will, hopefully we`ll get an egg sac but only time will give us the answer.
I love your commentary in the pairing videos, Dave. Very calming to listen to and sometimes it makes me laugh, which i really need some days, especially dealing with druggies and Karens (if you catch my drift) at work, you`d be surprised how many of those i get. But my town is very sketchy, and i get the evening shift a lot and most of the time, i`m alone outside at night, every sound makes me whirr around, keeps me alert if you will. There are some seriously sketchy people in my town and honestly Dave, it`s scary and i sometimes find myself to be scared once the sun goes down.
Great video Dave, i hope you, The Beasties and Camera Lady are well, do reply and i will see you shortly, seeing as it`s 12:38AM and in my time-zone, your videos come out at 1:00AM.
Much love from Ontario, Canada!🙂👍👍👊
Your commentary makes this feel like a real nature program haha
Much better content than other big arachnid youtubers. I won't say the names.
You do realize that your OPINION is exactly that, YOUR opinion. Some have others. So please don't say "it is much better" because it's not true for others.
@@iAmNothingness Maybe this person just thinks that this is better than others its not that deep lil bro
Thank you ❤️👍
I use his videos to calm me down before colonics
🥰👍
Camera lady very good !!!!
Greetings from Mocksville, North Carolina, USA. Thank you for the update on the senior gentleman's fate. I'm glad to hear he passed away on his own if he had to go. I was a little apprehensive about watching this video after you mentioned in previous Japanese Funnel Web video that you planned to let them co-habit. Such great content as always!! Thank you for what you do.
16:00 - 16:39 The cricket noises are so appropriate 😄
Gorgeous species! I miss my Linothele sericata. All funnel web species make such epic webs and they are stunning spiders.
Great vid as always, hope you have more success with an eggsack this time, fingers crossed.
Love wen he says without further ado 🤣💜awesome video as always !
Nice :)
I think Sidney funnel-web spider antivenom might be effective to a certain extent against a M. gigas envenomation. They use it for treating mouse spider (Missulena sp.) bites and even though M. gigas are less closely related to A. robustus than mouse spiders, they're still related
Fingers crossed Dave! I’ve been very curious about these spiders you’ve been studying & always appreciate the updates/videos on them!
Wow! Interesting
Fantastic pairing you've done here, Dave. A great job as usual, quite professional for someone who says they're just in it for the hobby!
Its been an interest for more years then I care to remember 😂👍
100 percent right , i would be pissed off if i was being poked hahah . your female looks a like it might molt again but fingers crossed for a great pairing! love the channel keep it up :)
Great vid Dave i think this is the one that's sure to succseed ...keeping fingers crossed.
Wow what a stunning video... 👌👍😊
...that blummin' cricket chirping all the way through 😆
I'm sure I'm not the only one here who finds the human parallels amusing, alarming, and misleading. Bravo.
Brilliant video! I really appreciate the patience you're giving the process compared to some other channels I've seen that rush it, presumably to get the content they need.
I appreciate that!
The size difference is very pronounced.
Early congrats Dave you surely paired this dangerous species. I have been eagerly awaiting this video and can’t wait to see the results 👍
Thanks Dave,I love watching you do this, your very calm .
Recovering from a bout of bronchitis and what do I decide to do? Watch Spider sex. RUclips algorithms can be quite crazy lol but I am glad I found your channel. I love all wild life, but some is best observed behind a computer screen! :)
An favourite spider. Macrotheles are great! I have heard that they have pretty strong venom. The whole genus have mote or less potent potent venom. I dont remember if they are within the Dipluridae family, but Dipluridae has venom that are not to be trifle with
The female is one of the best I've seen . I still need the raveni and gigas .so I really hope this is successful dave .Good luck .
You must have a hard life, dragging those ginormous balls of your around...😯😄
I am strictly a T person. These scare me a bit, even though they ARE impressive, and all.
@@Ujuani68 ahah I've got theraphosas and tunnel webs .curtain webs and steatoda nobilis only (false widows .
oh boy these funnel webs look so sleek and dangerous. Very cool
wow this is so intense to watch this creatures =) how they act and live =)
It's amazing that a male and female co-habited until he passed......3 weeks as well
It looked like two inseminations on that vid. Before the first time he cleaned his emboli looked like he pulled her in slightly. Hopefully you get a successful pairing this time it's obvious how much work and care you put into this stuff. Methodical and studious.
So much anxiety but I can’t stop watching lol
OMG FINALY, I HAVE BEEN WAITTING SO LONG TO SEE THIS PAIRRING. LMAO I THINK YOUR MALE IS BROKEN. DIDNT HE DO THIS LAST TIME?
Different male 👍
I wish everyone a good day. Your friend's color is very pretty. Black is beautiful :) Your friend's legs are like mine, Long and thin :D
I hope I can watch this ceremony live one day.
Someone shoot that cricket it was so loud in my earphones 🤣
Great vid you 2 as always 🤞 you get little funnel webs 😊
🤣 It was a noisy one, I forgot about it though after a while.
Was it a cricket? I was wondering if the noise could be Mossy Frogs?
Fingers crossed! Sad about the male.
He had a full life and the chance to reproduce ❤️👍
Wonderful video, as always! Dave, some time ago you unboxed a New Zealand Porrhothele. I was very excited to see this, because here in New Zealand this is literally the only large spider we can legally keep, and little is known about their husbandry and breeding. How are these spiders doing for you? Would love to see some videos about keeping and breeding these - your wisdom would be a huge help to the small group of people trying to keep these spiders here.
Unfortunately she passed I think she was old 👍
