Just got a P. sazimai sling for Christmas and small skins always make me nervous, being so fragile but you guys definitely calmed my fears a bit. Thanks for the info!
Ive got a pair of Pterinopelma Sazimai slings ordered along with a pair of Pterinochilus murinus (the notorious OBT) . Im so excited to raise these up. Thanks for the video!
I'm so glad you did this vid! I'm buying a P sazimai sling (from a breeder here in my area) in the next few weeks! Thanks for the bonus of featuring Gar! You two make a great team!
such lovely colorful Tarantulas Just brought one can't believe how fast they grow do they need certain soils being there from Tabletop mountain would you advise if putting plants in and if so what kind love your videos
predatororpreyonline Hope so and my collection has jump to 76 I think after win Lucy’s giveaway and my present from Peter Still looking for some more lol
Fantastic vid guys!! Very informative. Y’all definitely need to do more collabs!! The Sazimai are gorgeous!! I know I’ll b adding one to my collection!! Thanks guys!!
Might have to keep my eye out for one of these beauties, almost got one last year (to go with my G. Pulchra or Brazilian black) but I was unsure about temperament as I’m still new to the hobby, you’ve changed my mind with this video 😊
Hi, great video! Just one thing - how many days did you wait until pulling a sac? And how many slings you've got from it? Please answer cause I have a sac for about a month now. Thanks!
@@__Nikola__ Congratulations! got 5 slings now (roomy too) so who knows a few year down the line :) Any chance you uploading some of that madness on RUclips?
received a sling the other day and housed it seems fine, then I notice it doesn't move for 3 days, give it a brush and its completely stiff. hearing you say they are bulletproof killed me a little inside qq
Aw, sorry to hear that. Sometimes slings just die for no reason, or something that happened in shipping. I would try again and just make sure it has a bottle cap water dish that is kept full.
So so helpful! I have 10 year old Chilean Rose Hair I rescued years ago. I want a more tropical species that does not need heat. I have been making bioterrariums for my crested geckos and would love to make one for a tarantula. I am already gathering what I need for my rose hair bio with aloes and succulents. I was just looking at getting a year old sling of this species and it is nice to know of other food options than the fruit flies. I am looking into making a homemade mash for the fruitflies to keep a more endless supply since I am learning the slings can be slow growers. Luckily I also have access to extra small mealworms as well and am game to cutting them up when necessary. Will they burrow after their food or do they only go for it on top of the substrate? Any experience with using soldier fly larva for tarantulas?
+Helga thanks for taking the time to comment. Glad you found it helpful. In my experience this species won’t burrow for food, so best to feed out in the open and make sure any food that isn’t eaten gets removed to avoid potential damage to your tarantula from the prey. I have never used soldier fly larvae, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t be a suitable food for them.
Well now I know why my female is putting up a dirt curtain. Not enough humidity, but I have a humidity gauge in the enclosure and I don't let it get below 70°humidity. She has been digging a hole like Gar's did but has not produced an eggsac yet. Would it be advisable to rehouse her or just maintain the humidity levels? Secondly I really would like to have a successful eggsac if I can salvage the conditions. This enclosure was used to transport her to the male and I just never rehoused her after she came back home. Any advice from the two of you.. I know Gar and have received advice from him in the past. This is my first time asking you. So please help my Sazimai female Onyx is such an amazing T. Take care and I'll be in touch after my hip replacement surgery tomorrow. Ibnsarachnids aka Rob
Without seeing the enclosure it’s hard to give you any advice, but if you have deeper substrate and keep part of it moist to keep the humidity up then you will probably be ok.
+Smiley Face any tarantula is good for beginners if you do your research and buy one of an appropriate size for your knowledge. I would say that this species would be fine for beginners.
Hi thanks for the comment. My female did go on to produce an egg sac but sadly she abandoned it and the egg never hatched. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that.
You should breed yourself some Alphitobius diaperinus or the lesser mealworm larvae to avoid the hassles of sorting out large mealworms in your mealworm farm. I pretty much just pluck out my lesser mealworm larvae out of my roach bins because they too are used as a cleaner crew inside feeder roach bins to eat uneaten foods or, to eat those dead roaches who died of old age in well hidden spots in roach bins lessening the smell.
controversial opinion: I actually prefer the brazilian blue over the GBB
You’re not alone!
Me too specially because I am Brazilian
Great video. Just bought a sling, was fascinated of the idea how blue it will become.
Just got a sling in a mystery box today. Really lovely T. Can't wait to see it grow. 💙👌
Spiderling care is very interesting, thank you!

nikki hawke glad you found it helpful!
The she-spyder is beautiful.
Ok I gotta ask you this.....what does one do with 800 spiderlings?
How do you know if they all ate?
Are they kept communally at this size?
Thanks for vid...
Just bought
one from Jamies 1.5 ¨juvenile Yeyy....Can´t wait. Man she has the inventory but you have to catch it quick.
Hi, great video! Just one thing - how many days did you wait until pulling a sac? And how many slings you've got from it? Please answer cause I have a sac for about a month now. Thanks!
How did you do? :)
@@Gr3ylok I pulled it after 35 days and found eggs with legs :) they molted into spiderlings few days ago and there's 850 of them, all successful ;)

Nice one both of you 👍🏻
Great video

is this good with beginners to the hobby? thanks

@@TheTarantulaCave thank you very much!
Was your pairing successful?
What is your temperature after mating?
Answering this question would a big help☺️

I have a sling and it's a pet hole so all is well lol

how big do they get?
Nite Owl not huge, like 15cm span?
@@TheTarantulaCave thats almost 6 inches. definitely not the smallest. just to confirm, bigger than a rose hair? those guys get to 5.5 inches.
Nite Owl to be fair there’s a lot of variation within the same species. Let’s just agree it’s a medium sized tarantula.
