What an amazingly beautiful spider. She didn't seem very aggressive either. A friend of mine had one and she were on her hind legs and hissed if you as much as approached her enclosure. I had a huge amount of respect/fear of her.
yep, have had 2 uninvited guests in my bathroom over the past 2 weeks, yesterday's hissed at me on its hind legs just as you described...unfortunately up to today, I wasnt armed with enough information on the fact that baboon spiders are not too harmful and hesitant to attack, which resulted in my killing them
As creepy as they are I have to say this spider filled me with awe. Impressive and majestic creature. Great video. Excellent photography and I even enjoyed the music. Well done!
If someone was shining a huge flashlight into my house, like one of those anti-aircraft searchlights (which is what must look like to the spider), I would not come out either.
Pretty sure their eyesight isn’t anywhere near as good as ours, in fact I’ve read that most tarantulas are nearly blind and depend way more on their sense of touch.
@@stephenbrand5661 that is true. Though they still react to light. I think if you had shades and a blurry mirror, then shine a flashlight through it, that is how they feel.
I appreciate how gentle the humans are in all the videos. I marvel at how non defensive an almost blind creature is when roused from its hole, seems to be a patient spider.
what an incredibly magnificent being. i watch in awe every time i see a video of these absolutely stunning creatures. i wish i could see one in person.
What an incredible spider. I have owned one of these magnificent spiders but I have not seen one excavated from it’s burrow! She looked very healthy and well behaved! Wonderful video gentlemen thanks so much for sharing!
3:19 Notice the dark patch underneath that layer of substrate down the hole is moist. It must be a cooler environment down there than the surface temps. Am guessing the temps down there should be around the 70°F or 21.111°C at least.
Thanks for that epic video, Guy! One of my favourites as well. She was beautiful, and it was nice she was tolerant enough to allow you to hold her. It is amazing how well she blended in with her habitat!
Amazing video, very enjoyable, and some gorgeous muticus. A keen keeper can always learn a lot how one can improve a tarantula's environment in an enclosure based on your videos. Thank you for the dedication and the hard work, you are all awesome at Bugsnstuff!!
If I was in a dark hole and some human was shining a bright ass flashlight in my eyes I would not come out of the hole either, LOL, I'm just playing around, I loved the spider, so beautiful, They treat all animals like they should be treated {with respect and care} that makes the video even more worth watching!!!!
8:48 I kept on reviewing the soil texture so I can house two of my well priced juvenile queens in em. Probably order myself a bunch of southern red clay from eBay here in the USA, and mix em up with other organic amendments such as natural topsoil with no fertilizers or pesticides. I use to work with red clay soil before back in the Philippines as a teenager, digging through our backyard creating our very own vegetable garden for my family to enjoy. I think I will add more sand and organic top soil for a better texture, because red clay at its purest form isn't really nutrient rich in it by itself for plats to grow. I will probably wet the red clay first in its liquid form, then add more red sand and topsoil so I can acquire the right texture 🤔 Both of my queens are already housed inside their very own deep burrowing container with just top soil. I will probably dig them both out and house em in a temporary enclosure once I have my red clay mix all ready for them to dig. I got some brain storming going on Lol!
That spider has the manliest moustache I've ever seen! Doesn't even matter if it's male or female, y'all know its women out here with some thick staches!
Great idea Marty, put your hands right in the burrow.I'm sure the bite won't hurt for more than a few seconds. Never mind tickling,what if she senses the dirt at the entrance being moved...you ready for an attack by a king baboon?
Great Stuff!!! You are very skilled and every video is a Present for those who love spiders. Amazing spider this one! Very interesting to find where they live in wild nature. Just a question: how they survive in their burrows underground during rain season?
Tarantulas can survive submerged under water for a considerable time if required. Their hairs trap a layer of oxygen around them so they can still breathe until the water subsides.
@@bugsnstuff Given the king baboon spider's aggressive demeanor and deadly venom, what wild predators ARE able to attack it besides hawk wasps? They'll eat birds, reptiles, small mammals and frogs. THEY do the eating here so what animals WOULD they fear?
My family is currently living in southern Kenya, near the border to Tanzania. We saw one last night and I did what most Americans would do. I saw it....... and screamed, and ran for my life. 😆
dude you should have just come to my bathroom here in nairobi. i kid you not i was washing my face in the morning at the sink basin and what do i see 6 inches from my face right beside the faucet? a freaking huge baboon tarantula. now i dont mind spiders but the chill that ran down my spine isnt to be forgotten soon. i dont know if it was the climate or something (it was chilly) but in the course of 1 month i saw 3more in the house (1 in my sisters shoe!!)
Nice vid! God I’d love to go abroad and observe tarantulas in the wild, have had a collection for almost 8 years now, to see them in the wild would be quite something! One thing I might suggest in terms of getting glamour shots, to briefly stop them from running back into their respective retreat/burrow, you could block the entrance with a moveable object like a flat piece of bark for example, to keep it out in the open so you can move it afterwards and allow the spider to return home. Good technique I learned about from Steve Backshall.
They just love dwelling beneath those acacias. Love this vid. Post one that contains a Hysterocrates hercules. Now that I would love to see! H. hercules is the biggest tarantula in Africa. Allegedly the second biggest tarantula in the world.
I can't believe you actually held her without bring bitten. You could hear her stridgulating under the music in a couple areas of the footage. I know she wasn't happy.
Wish one day I do the same like you doing exploring and finding for new specie Specially in tarantula world one of my favorite hope you guys good luck for your every new adventure
One of the few African ts and old world ts in general that doesn't web much around their burrow, i know there are others that also don't web much like H. Gigas but still it's what makes them stamd out to me not to mention their size, they almost resemble T. Blondi and T. Stirmi is sizr and colour and they were once recognised as the largest in the world until the birdeaters of South America were discovered
Find that a slightly chewed end of a long grass stalk works better than a stick to coax them out... maybe it's the saliva? but anyway, seems to work better than sticks
Wouldn't it be less time consuming to just take a shovel and dig the spider out, instead of trying to lure it out with a piece of grass or wait till it comes out naturally?
i am not a huge fan of spiders but with that music and how chill the spider was around humans it made me kind think it was a coll little guy just taking a walk and allowing the humans to video/photograph it, i thought it was really happy, and kind of a cute furry creature. i'm glad it didnt scratch its itchy fur on anyone.
oh ok i thought all big spiders who have noticeable amounts of hair on their butts scratch their itchy hairs into people's faces, i'm sure it's not a pleasant feeling but you have to admit it's kind of a cool little defense mechanism, i mean shooting little hairs at people to irritate their eyes and face is just clever, but anyways i hope you have a wonderful day and good luck on your new projects. xoxo
thank you, i guess it's because this video's spider didn't seem to scary, like i said it was also the music it was like happy music played along to what seemed like a happy spider just doing his thing not even concerned in the least by the presence of humans, just walking around having a good day hoping to get some grub, but you're right i don't like spiders but i appreciate that they are apart of mother nature and i respect the fact that they are living creature and have just as much right to walk this earth as i do, therefore even though i dislike seeing them anywhere near me i still have the decency of a human to recognize that they may be scary they are still just another one of mother nature's creatures and deserve the same respect as every other living creature on this planet, however i think they are very terrifying and i almost always freak out at the sight of one, like perhaps if i was in this video i wouldn't have been so enthusiastic but because i'm not i guess that is why i was able to enjoy the little creature for who it is as a species and not see it just as a scary spider, it was really nice to see him act like those people were his friends and they were all taking a stroll and allowing them to film it in it's natural habitat i think in that context yes i live spiders, it's when i'm up close in person, or if i see it being aggressive towards humans i get worried that maybe it'll attack but i truly think this one was a remarkable subject to film it was chill, it wasn't threatening nor did it feel threatened and it was also very chill it didn't run away it just walked very slowly showing us that it wasn't trying to run away out of fear but casually walk out of curiosity. thanks for your comment. xoxo
@@ms.lauren6219 Tarantulas have some quite fun deffensive mechanism. Avics and closely related spieces have poop canon.. been hit by it and they are suprisingly accurate :) Then theres megaphobemas deathweel/cartwheel of death etc.
How can he know what species of spider it is simply by looking at the hole in the ground? Are there no other spiders in Tanzania which live in burrows?
That T is so relaxed, my Muticus is very defensive... impossible to Handle 🤣
I have one and its really calm, dream t to handle🤗
@Callan Nova are u serious... Why u telling me this
What an amazingly beautiful spider. She didn't seem very aggressive either. A friend of mine had one and she were on her hind legs and hissed if you as much as approached her enclosure. I had a huge amount of respect/fear of her.

Tonight on Spider News Network: Burrow invasions up by 300% this week in the entire region
As creepy as they are I have to say this spider filled me with awe. Impressive and majestic creature. Great video. Excellent photography and I even enjoyed the music. Well done!
It always amazes me how spiders can dig that much and that deep underground and they are always so preened and smart looking!
So this spider was woken up to have a modeling shoot and then returned to her home.. she’s going to be a diva now
That music killed me
Edit: I just like to point out its been a whole year since this video came out and my comment got a heart. RESPECT
RESPECT
If someone was shining a huge flashlight into my house, like one of those anti-aircraft searchlights (which is what must look like to the spider), I would not come out either.
And they destroyed ALL of its webbing... They could at least offer it a cricket, it they're gonna be bothering it.
Pretty sure their eyesight isn’t anywhere near as good as ours, in fact I’ve read that most tarantulas are nearly blind and depend way more on their sense of touch.

in captivity they are not very chill, at least most of the time
Spider: “guys the craziest thing happened, I was abducted, photographed by giants and they measured me, held me and put me back in my house after. “
Gosh, this was wonderful. Especial the close-up filming of it walking. Fabulous.
Yes it was
what an incredibly magnificent being. i watch in awe every time i see a video of these absolutely stunning creatures. i wish i could see one in person.
Those spiders sure do know how to dig don't they... But anyways love the vid and I am loving Africa a long with it's diversity of animals
This is so cool! These spiders are amazing and beautiful. The photography and videography was amazing too.
When I was a kid, I used to use beeswax in a line to get some tarantulas, it's like fishing. Very easy and with 95% success rate.
I was lucky to have this kind of spectacular species of tarantula...
What an incredible spider. I have owned one of these magnificent spiders but I have not seen one excavated from it’s burrow! She looked very healthy and well behaved! Wonderful video gentlemen thanks so much for sharing!

That 3rd one gave us a great show.
Beautiful looking thing.
And Tanzania 🇹🇿 what a place man.. Giraffes crossing the road like its the Norm haha
What a find in the end that was a perfect specimen truly a stunning species
Love these vids of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat

The one that you extracted really was an 8-legged puppy.
I fortunate enough to own a Pelinobius muticus female myself. Stunning tarantulas. How could anyone not love those massive back legs.
Iv seen a lot of dogs before but that's the strangest so far
Yeah, I was just looking at those big strong back legs myself.
How many times he goes out weekly?
What temp and substrate do you use?
@@bencehorvath6094 mid 70's and I use moss pest.

miss Africa soooo much need to go back some day
Good job boys.honestly loved the way you guys handled it.

This African background music is dope
Added a king 🤴 to my collection due to this video
So calm ... she didn’t want to leave y’all at the end hehe
This is the way I was able to lure out a very large desert tarantula in the southwest us
My first time seeing this large spider
Great idea Marty, put your hands right in the burrow.I'm sure the bite won't hurt for more than a few seconds. Never mind tickling,what if she senses the dirt at the entrance being moved...you ready for an attack by a king baboon?

What a beauty!! Well done enticing her out of her burrow!
I think that tarantula wanted you to keep her she wasn't very reluctant to go back to her home 😂
Listen to the great music/drumming.
My family is currently living in southern Kenya, near the border to Tanzania. We saw one last night and I did what most Americans would do. I saw it....... and screamed, and ran for my life. 😆

still lucky coz you're not in latin america for you might be dead by now bitten by a brazillian wandering spider
Toro Loco are you from Nairobi?
BURN DOWN THA HOUSE......and MOVE!!!! (to Finland, or whatever)
@@HBC423 yes. im kenyan
U are so lucky,
This T came free as a sling in one of my orders and is seriously my favorite personality wise so far I’m praying for a female but they take so long

Damn! Looking at the tarantulas at their habitat its amizing keep it up guys
This movie was a great inspiration. I know it's located in northern Tanzania. What is the exact name of the area? thanks
She's sitting quiet, no need to raise up, she knows who she is.
This is such a great channel,so interesting.
I always look forward to a new upload.
Beautiful spider! Beautiful colors!!
King Spiders Are Insane
Thank you so much for these videos. This one is going to spur on a terrarium refit as mine doesn't seem super happy, and I think I see why now :-)
This was the coolest video ever and I watch a lot of tarantula videos. Absolutely stunning, so grateful for this channel and what you do!
Thanks for the kind comments!
Great video you guys are doing great work thank you
Thanks for the kind comments!
Great film
I wish i have that kind of tarantula someday
I can't believe the bit where the spider takes down a gazelle 10:43.
Definitely the King in my tarantula collection! I give her much respect.
Took me a good while to find a channel that pursued an old world in its natural habitat. Excellent stuff, I'm well sated.
Love to go travel and see them neutral habitat
What a well-behaved little lady. Fascinating video, I don't know how you guys don't have more subscribers.
That babboon is BOSS Used to do one of local night clubs Head doorman😁🍀🇮🇪
They just love dwelling beneath those acacias. Love this vid. Post one that contains a Hysterocrates hercules. Now that I would love to see! H. hercules is the biggest tarantula in Africa. Allegedly the second biggest tarantula in the world.
My most 3rd favorite spider❤️
I will have to look this species up to learn more now, thank you for this video.
So beautiful! ❤️
Ang ganda#*$@!$#*
Those old world tarantulas are terrifying..but beautiful though.
Woww amazing 😍😍
Gonna need a bigger tub! Three years in and 4 inches. Think have got myself a girl! Great vid.
I can't believe you actually held her without bring bitten. You could hear her stridgulating under the music in a couple areas of the footage. I know she wasn't happy.

Amazing travel
I love your respect in handling.
How are you not running and screaming?! My heart rate jumps when the legs come out and involuntarily form fists and it only on a screen!
how wonderful ...t s so great to meet her
I saw these borrows near Serengetti on our stop over at Lake Victoria, there were loads!
Find that a slightly chewed end of a long grass stalk works better than a stick to coax them out... maybe it's the saliva? but anyway, seems to work better than sticks
She is gorgeous
Seeing leg 4 and 8 makes me wonder, are they related to Hysterocrates sp?
Wow. She is so very very nice !
I want you guys to form a expedition to find the J’ba Fofi.
Beautiful Tarantula ❤️❤️
Beautiful creature!
2:20 Giraffe: Yo Guys Look White People!!. Other Giraffes: NO WAY 👀😮👀👀😮
Wouldn't it be less time consuming to just take a shovel and dig the spider out, instead of trying to lure it out with a piece of grass or wait till it comes out naturally?
music more deadly than any spider
King baboon tarantula and orange baboon are known for being friendly. You can hold them. Thanks
More vids. Please so much help for my enclosure of my KBT 😊 thanks
I love tarantulas.
Grammostola...
Lasiodora...
Chromatopelma...
Muticus...
And all 😉
Exellent vid keep it up
Wow thanks for the ❤ i appreciate it😊

Only tarantulas from central and south America use abdominal urticating hairs as a defence.

Their burrows are constructed in such a way that they drain very quickly.

owwww good you brought the carpenters with you.. are you with pete nelson from treehouse masters.. can you make a treehouse for the spider baboon😃😃😃😃
Lol i love watching treehouse master.
Fantastic video i own one of these beautiful sp and she is my favorite too i dont think i would handle her tho lol keep up the great videos 👌🏻
This one is all chill and calm. All the other ones ive seen are super mean...
A bit of a strange forceps maneuvering at the end there but nonetheless interesting video.
