Camera lady's giggles "don't wet your skins" bit was so precious, love how much you both love what you do it absolutely shows. Love your videos keep up the hard work, and I miss Bethany so much guys tell her I miss hope she okay
Best thing for the TikTok situation is to create an account so people can report it as “pretending to be someone else” as most of the reports seem to get ignored by TikTok 👍🏼 Another great video. Some of my enclosures - the slings, probably need to be a bit drier - so my fingers are crossed that they’ll be ok.
And then create a single video for it, calling out the situation and explaining that this is a placeholder channel that will not receive regular updates but exists as proof of claim, adding links to Facebook and RUclips. Both of which should have an update that day, merely pointing to that Tiktok post. That way, no one can argue about your claim.
In my case, my Ts are kept in the basement, where it's always at 72F (22C) year-round. I use Kritter Keepers as enclosures and I occasionally overflow the water bowl a bit. No issues whatsoever over the years, my big adult females are all happy :) Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
I'm keeping Tarantulas since '98, but I still learn this and that from You, espacially about Watermanagement. So I just want to thank You for sharing all this valuable Info. See after the Heat Wave if not melted away. 😉🥵
12:37 LOL For some reason, this section of the video made me think of Monty Python's Flying Circus, the Pet Shop skit. "Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, isn't it? Beautiful plumage!"
Some great information Dave. I have a separate room for my tarantulas. I have the curtains shut in that room anyway, which helps a fair bit anyway. I don't go crazy on the water. I don't get many gnats in that room, even from the 3 colonies of roaches I do have. I tend to go through them and give them a clean out .... I hate sorting the red runners, they are absolute pains 😂... Anyway cool video Dave. 👍
Great advice, great video! It's 37 degrees in Sheffield today 🥵🥵 I keep my spiders in my living room and luckily the sun is out the back of the house not the front so they are in the shade all the time. I've noticed a few more molts than normal but they are all doing fine 😁 I'm glad you had fantastic support with the tiktok situation and I hope you get it sorted 😊🖤🕷️
Excellent timing Dave! Here in the states we are experiencing heatwaves off and on. Looks like we have at least 3 days in the mid 90s F this week. Props to the irrigation bottle usage. It makes it a lot easier to measure out smaller amounts of water and to get it where you want it. As usual, great content. I look forward to watching your videos as soon as I punch in at work. Great way to get the day started. Many thanks to you and Camera Lady. We appreciate your hard work! ;) Oh yeah, thanks for letting us know that that was not a urine sample, lol! Another great tip, thanks!!!
Great idea for a video. I've been worrying about people's reptiles as some people are so ridiculously stupid when it comes to captive reptiles & arachnids!!🐍💕🐍
This is why I love your videos Dave and camera lady 😁 I use your method too determine wether they need a water or not and honestly just looking at the soil is my preferred way keep up the great work
Another wonderful and very informative video, thank you!! I live in Oregon and last June we got temps of 111°F!! It was horrible and most of us in the Pacific NW also don't own air conditioning; but after that I invested in a window unit. Thank you for explaining about heat vs humidity again, it can be so confusing for some. Take care and stay cool! 😀
So helpful of you to put this out! Really glad you've addressed people spraying down enclosures excessively and creating a massively humid environment due to the speed of the evaporation. I've got a relatively small collection which I keep on a middle mezzanine floor which has a partial skylight so the sun can blare through that quite heavily so I've moved them all to the relatively cool ground floor and now have 20 tarantulas on the kitchen worktop for a couple of days. Great video! Vrea
another brilliant advice video PROFF from your point of view in this heat in the UK. in london today my truck was showing 40 degrees at 2pm. CAMERA lady i hope the PROFF is making tea for you with all that great work you do with the camera. many thanks guys and take care
I just would like to say thank you again dave. You explain everything so good an with much sence :) im in the Hobby for nearly one Year now and learned so much from you.
First of all I adore this warm weather. I really do. And I notice animals can adept very well. They are very clever about that. These things that fly around, we call them fruitflies and I thought that was what you are giving your slinks to feed. Don't spiders eat them? And another question. Don't you have jumpingspiders? Or is that to cute for you. 😂
Thanks for all you do Dave, great information as usual and love how the beastie room has turned out. Best of love to you and camera lady. As to the gnats, i had put sticky paper NEAR and OUTSIDE of the enclosures as well as cups of cider and a couple of carnivorous plants and within a week they were gone. I dont know why anyone would put sticky paper in with the spider.... lol
Thanks Dave about the apple sider vinegar trick I have those dang nats all over my spider room im about to start my own red runner colony just for that reason alone.
Hi Dave and Mrs Dave (camera lady). With your very informative videos on various spiders I’ve got very interested in the subject (though I’d never keep one myself 😱😱😱😱), and often look and watch other videos on the care of spiders by others and I have to say that there is no one else I have seen that produces such fantastic videos about the care and dedication you have have on this subject. I think your the very best and I can’t wait for your next video. Congratulations and well done. 😁👍
@@daveslittlebeasties Just the truth Dave. We love ya mate. You`re part of my morning routine now, gotta have my Dave`s Little Beasties before work, a bit like coffee really, I`ll be grumpy if i don`t watch it, much like my dad when he hasn`t had his morning coffee.
I've been commenting on the tiktok account asking ppl to unsubscribe to the bootleg uploads. I'm thinking about getting a jumping spider. Lol. Me! An arachnaphobe!
Very interesting! How do you know when to feed each different stage of life spiders? Do you have a calendar you keep? Do you try and get the same size spiders on the same feeding schedule? You may have addressed this in a earlier video. Could you post to me the title? Thank you Dave and Mrs camera lady! 😁❤️
Great video Dave, as always 👍🏻 Useful stuff for the newbies with the heat and moisture issue. As for fungus gnats.... Everyone should have Sun Dew plants. Ours kill more than any other method! Trust me, try them! I might be able to send you one when I'm back off hols 😊
Another informative video Dave so thanks for putting this out there, you make everything easy to understand especially for keepers like myself with only a year under my belt 👍🤩
It's a pleasure to see someone else speaking about humidity the right way. I lost the count on how many times someone answered me that Ts don't get moisture (hydrate) from the humid air... For all those people HUMID AIR HELPS TO PREVENT DEHYDRATION, it do not hydrates... 😂😂😂
I got 30x30x45 for my assassin bugs keep the corners damp and use a fan!my white spots went from nymphs to adults in 18 weeks the heat definitely helped!
Yes I'm a living testimony of Mrs Angela ReginaMende, her strategy since February is enormous It's four months now started investing with her and it's been a good experience
Difference is: we weak central europeans aren't used to anything above 20°C 😂 But for real: our infrastructure and houses aren't build for a hot desert type climate. The cities are AWFULLY HOT and don't cool down at night 🥵
I think the spiders take it cooler than we do...heatwave will hit us in Sweden too but mabye not as hard as in the UK! When I took care of my sons tarantula I used common sense during a month when we had temperatures around 30 to 35 degrees every single day. I kept the blinds shut, she had water and her enclosure was well ventilated and I tried to air out heat during the night / when it was doable. It was almost unbearable hot inside our apartment for us and the houses in Sweden are built to keep the heat inside during the cold seasons so the heat accumulate in the walls and it takes a long time for it to cool down! AC are not common I houses or apartments here but we ourselves use fans to keep us and our pets cool. Plenty of rest, and water to drink too! I can't ❤ love the heat but I will try to be gentle and calm! Good advise and an informative video as usual, thank you dear Dave and Sweet Camera Lady! Hugs, Susanne.
Ah brilliant Dave, and and sound advice, makes alot of sense, it is frightening when you hear stuff like that, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.
Great video Dave! I learn something new every video, we are in the states and right next to Texas our forecasted high for Tuesday is a sizzling 112 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit!! All my ladies and one gentleman are in my downstairs living room at an average of 79 to 80 degrees. The room is dark with little sun and my spiders are doing well, I will follow your advice on watering and spraying, thanks so much for the info!! Camera lady keep up the great work you do and thank you too!!🕷
Another great tour and informative video here in missouri the temp will be 37.7 Celsius feel like with humidity 40.5 Celsius what fun there's of the week.
Went and dropped a about 50 comments, 1 each vid that it's a fake account. Can't believe TikTok hasn't shut them down. We need to say which account is the real Dave. Even if you dont have any vids!! We can get him shut down
Hey Dave and Camera Lady, hope you’re both doing well today and keeping cool and hydrated yourselves. Very informative and interesting video as usual 💙💕🕷 I’m working my way through past videos… I’ve seen most of them, just the odd few I’ve not (but I’ll watch ones again 😂 😂) Take care and stay safe 🥰💕💙😘xxx
Great video dave, informative as ever, since we've had this hot weather I've just kept my curtains nearly closed, keeps my T room cooler. With regards to the Tik Tok chap, although we are doing are best, his followers have gone up, will keep trying.
There's supposed to be a heatwave in New York the next few days. I am not a summer person. It's the humidity that gets me. Take care, Dave, and feel better. Regards to the Camera Lady.
You are the best ...love you show I have followed your from the beginning ...and it is super to se haw big it is now ☺️ hallo from Copenhagen Denmark...
Thanks for all the tips here in the netherlands its about 35 degrees I have airco unit so temperture wise its all good and the humidity is good Keep on making the great content love watching you and camera lady Enjoy the heat Greetings from the netherlands
It's been around 109° F here for the past month in central AZ with < 20% humidity. Our Sonoran Desert tarantulas get the majority of their moisture from their prey. They only come out of their burrows at night to hunt.
Hello Dave and Camera Lady. This is a bit silly but I was so tickled you mentioned my comment about the heat here in Texas. 🥰We all pretty much have AC so we just stay inside and it isn’t such a big deal. The heat brings the cicadas out and the are quite loud. The brown Texas tarantulas have all gone to ground. I was wondering, out of all your different types of beasties, which ones do you think handle the extreme temperatures better? I would think sand spiders like the heat but what about the cooler temperatures as well? It might be fun to do a video on the difference between the males and the females of the different breeds. One last thing for gnats, we use a small bowl with apple cider vinegar but we put plastic wrap over it and poke holes in that. Okay, bed time for Suzie 😴. Thank you for the lovely video. Stay safe and cool! Take care.
Open all your windows at night and suck in all the cool air then close up tight during the day and unplug everything electronic that your not using! If it’s plugged in it’s emitting some heat! Even electric fans put off heat from the motor so only run fans in the room your in.
Hey Dave! DO read this comment man, lots of good stuff in it, i may or ay not have went overboard with praise near the end, whoops. I started this video before going to work while eating breakfast, had to get ready for work, planned to finish the video on one of my 15 minute breaks or my hour-long lunch break, but that didn`t happen because my friends had the same breaks as me so we chatted and laughed and gossiped about work lol. So i watched this after work, after a much needed dip in my pool and a shower. There`s a bit of a heatwave going on here in Canada as well, at least in my hometown, obviously i can`t speak for the rest of the country. Today it got to 36C, when you have a job like mine where you`re outside for most of your shift and it`s very physical, constantly dodging cars, sometimes the carts decide to be stubborn and the wheels lock so you have to fight harder to turn, happened to me today, fun times ya know? Sometimes it gets as hot as 45C but this time of year 30-40C is more common. In winter, -30 & -40 is not uncommon, bitterly freezing, lots of accidents on the highways... Anyway: Great video Dave! Glad you touched on this topic, very good topic to cover, lots that can be said about this, and who better to cover it than you, Dave? And everything that you said, makes sense! I really liked that you showed us what you were trying to say by showing us a few enclosures, and by spraying water into an empty sling pot, me personally, i`m a visual learner, something that`s very important at school for subjects like math which i struggle with. Very nice touches, Dave. Thankfully, my two households (I`ve told you before in previous comments that my parents are separated, so obviously i`m talking about mom`s house and dad`s house, although i tend to call him Papa, which is French for dad, and i speak French as a second language, which i`ve told you before, i go to French school so ya know) are air-conditioned, although, my lizard enclosures (bearded dragon Long-Tail, got him when i was 5, he`s about 12 years old, and Leopard Gecko Rocky, got him for Christmas in 2020 after months of research) are always very warm ;). BTW Dave, you got me with that moult for the Chaco Golden Knee, then once you said it was just a moult, i was like: Dammit Dave got me with the old spider moult trick. Regarding the gnats: We get them in the summer sometimes, obviously not in the winter here for obvious reasons (snow) and we`ve actually been using that same trick for years! BTW Dave: I LOVE your accent haha, it just makes the video that much more enjoyable to watch and they`re already very enjoyable! Not to mention that you say things that i pretty much never hear in Canada, i sometimes find myself saying things that you say in your videos and my family gives me weird looks lol. I guess some words are just UK slang haha, kind of like here in Canada we have **Ahem, clears throat**: Eh there bud, gonna go watch the hockey game bud, gonna get my double double coffee and go shovel the snow eh there bud, where`s my maple syrup, gonna go ride my moose to work bud. Yes, some Canadians (especially my family, specifically my grandfather, dad`s dad) talk like that lol. Before i wrap up this comment, here`s some positive/motivating words for you Dave, because you`re a cool guy and you deserve it!: Dave, for me your channel will always be one of a kind, there`s no invert creator like you. You`re the only one in my subscription list (keep in mind that i`m subbed to 15 invert creators, including you) who explains things the way you do, as in depth as you do. Your way of making enclosures is truly unique, you can tell that you have your spiders welfare in mind while making the enclosure. You`re just all around a good guy Dave, very cool. Although we live in different areas of the world (you`re literally across the ocean from me), you`re at the top of the list of creators whom i want to meet in public one day, it will be day that i will remember forever, because in many ways Dave, you`re my hero, my idol if you will. And i can only imagine your reaction, finally meeting me, i know how highly you think of me. I`ve always pictured the conversation starting like this: Me: Hello... Dave. **Dave turns his eyes to the side, and turns around and sees me sitting on a chair** Me: **Holds out hand** Noah Roy, pleasure to finally meet you. Then the conversation can go either way lol. I also like how you dedicate full on evenings (you said this in one of the live-streams with Scott) to answering comments and messages, not many content creators do this, but you accept that RUclips has come to the point where it`s like a second job for you. Answering comments is another thing that makes a content creator just that much more awesome. I also love how you and Camera Lady have this kind of chemistry on camera, i`m sure you two have an absolute blast off camera! Not all relationships are healthy, but i think it`s safe to say that you two get along just fine, am i right, Dave? BTW: I could be wrong but did you get new shelving for the Beastie Room? When you were showing us a few enclosures, it looked like different shelving that what was there before, am i right or am i going crazy? I could write a legit book, just full of positive comments about you but this comment is already long enough as it is. Do please reply with your thoughts, excellent video, i hope you, Camera Lady and the Beasties are holding up well in this heatwave and i will see you on Thursday! Looking forward to what you have in store for us! I hope you read all the way through, Dave. One more thing: Happy the TikTok situation is going good, let`s bring that **says words that shouldn`t be said here** down. The sooner you create an account, the sooner we can and i quote, fight fire with fire.
@@daveslittlebeasties Yeah Dave, i wrote that comment last night before bed, probably started around 8:50PM and posted it at about 9:45PM lol. I like to write if you can`t tell. Reminds me of a song i like: ``Go ahead, write a book, i`ll be bringing fear to the neighbourhood.`` Song is called: Slappy, 2020 Nightmare album. Slappy the evil ventriloquist dummy (don`t call him dummy) with a serious Napoleonic Complex. The artist makes songs about movie characters, he has pretty much anyone you can think of. By far my favourite music artist, i`ve been frequenting his Chucky, Annabelle, Slappy, R.L Stine and Jurassic Park/World Songs lately. but yes, that comment took a while to write.
G'day, mate. I'm an Aussie and I've lived most of m life in the tropics and sub-tropics. I can count on one hand the times I've been living in a place here when the temps went over 40C. Granted, I lived in places where summer averaged 35C. But you folks, you, from my memory once considered a heatweave to be 25C. I do honestly feel for you having to go through those temps. It'd be like me having to spend a Winter at 5C. I think I'd die.
If the room is a bit humid anyway, it may be advantageous to add a small fan for air circulation, or turning on a ceiling fan. The additional airflow could prevent the enclosures from becoming septic/stagnant. Also, if you don't have AC, you could try what we call "A Redneck Air Conditioner" which is a temporary fix, but works in a pinch. Buy a cheap foam beer cooler, cut two holes near the top, add a small fan to one hole, fill the cooler with a bag of ice. The ice lasts a lot longer than you think, and it will knock a few degrees off the room.
Regarding the fungus gnats, I do keep those clear sticky strips (the ones that go on windows), on the tops of my roach colony lids (dubias can't get to them), but for my tarantulas, I put them on top of the mesh lids, stick side up. I put a slice of veg on top, and the little morons will get stuck en masse. It works pretty well, and I am only struggling to control them in my isopods tubs, everything else is basically gnat free now.
Living Down Under where 40°C+ is common in Summer, a tip for evenings and nights when the temp dips outside and creeps inside so it becomes stifling indoors is keep doors and house shut up during the day, but open up doors and windows of a night.
Greetings from Mocksville, North Carolina, USA. LOVED the little mini tour of the Beastie Room. You have done those before but how about some more in future? I really miss the one (I think it was the White Knee you showed here) that used to be right beside your worktable. She was always out and I swear she was watching you right along with us. Also, I'd asked in a previous comment about an anatomy video of top side and bottom side when someone's on the glass. Maybe you've got that in the pipeline. I'm not quite caught up but don't think you've posted one like that yet. Thank you as always for such great, interesting content.
how about more information on spinnerets and how silk is formed and made of.. That's funny I was going to suggest apple vinegar.. AH your a fossorial spider keeper eh.. We have been luck here on the upper north west cost of the US.. 80F mostly looks like we might get a couple of 90F days but mostly nice comfortable weather.. cool in the mornings warming to a nice warm/hot afternoon..
The difference between America and the UK is Air Conditioning, thats why we panic. Most households have that in the US, I don't personally know one friend or family member who had that in the UK. AC in the UK is generally only found in shops and some Hotels.
It's counterintuitive that tropical species could get killed by the heat of summer in the higher latitudes but you have to remember that tropical places don't have summers with their longer days. The only US state to never record a temperature over 100 F is also the only one in the tropics, Hawaii.
@@stephenbrand5661 No problem man! Since this video is about heat, where are you from and what has the weather been like lately? I`m from Ontario, Canada and it`s been between 30-40C, went up to 45 a few times though...
Hi Dave, where did you get those Deli tubs from as I have a seladonia arriving this Friday and looks perfect for what I need and to home on some of my slings... cheers

2022 online stock is just difficult and unbelievable, I'll rather invest my money on crypto
I think investing in crypto under ETFS will be the wisest thing to do now
Yes I'm a living testimony of Mrs Angela ReginaMende, her strategy since February is enormous It's four months now started investing with her and it's been a good experience
Ever since i came across Mrs Angela Regina Mende Trading service, my bad history turned out to be the best investment

112 F here in the states. 19% humidity where I'm at. 🥵 Great video Dave!
Thanks 👍
its been over 100 here for the last week
stay cool
😳😳😳
everyone : it's so hot!
Me living in Indonesia : welcome to my life
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Difference is: we weak central europeans aren't used to anything above 20°C 😂 But for real: our infrastructure and houses aren't build for a hot desert type climate. The cities are AWFULLY HOT and don't cool down at night 🥵
Great info!
I move my 2 cages out of the sun, and unto the fluor, while keeping it cool with curtains closed and my fan going. Works fine.
I think the spiders take it cooler than we do...heatwave will hit us in Sweden too but mabye not as hard as in the UK! When I took care of my sons tarantula I used common sense during a month when we had temperatures around 30 to 35 degrees every single day. I kept the blinds shut, she had water and her enclosure was well ventilated and I tried to air out heat during the night / when it was doable. It was almost unbearable hot inside our apartment for us and the houses in Sweden are built to keep the heat inside during the cold seasons so the heat accumulate in the walls and it takes a long time for it to cool down! AC are not common I houses or apartments here but we ourselves use fans to keep us and our pets cool. Plenty of rest, and water to drink too! I can't ❤ love the heat but I will try to be gentle and calm! Good advise and an informative video as usual, thank you dear Dave and Sweet Camera Lady! Hugs, Susanne.
Ah brilliant Dave, and and sound advice, makes alot of sense, it is frightening when you hear stuff like that, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.
Glad you enjoyed it❤️👍
Thanks Dave this helped alot got a curly hair 3 wk ago first t was worried about weather tbh your a star cheers Dave
blinds pulled, fans on. Wait for rain. :D
rotten ear ache ehh?? i’m sending you and the camera lady healing energy and cool temperatures
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great advice as usual on the temperature situation.
Also really glad we helped with your Tictok problem. Beastie army lol
Yes thank you ❤👍
Very interesting video. You are an excellent teacher!
Thank you 🙏
I’m in St. Petersburg Florida!!! #beastieroomfinn
Great video Dave! I learn something new every video, we are in the states and right next to Texas our forecasted high for Tuesday is a sizzling 112 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit!! All my ladies and one gentleman are in my downstairs living room at an average of 79 to 80 degrees. The room is dark with little sun and my spiders are doing well, I will follow your advice on watering and spraying, thanks so much for the info!! Camera lady keep up the great work you do and thank you too!!🕷
Another great tour and informative video here in missouri the temp will be 37.7 Celsius feel like with humidity 40.5 Celsius what fun there's of the week.
That’s harendous 😂👍
Im in Colorado and its been 101 degree Fahrenheit 💙
Went and dropped a about 50 comments, 1 each vid that it's a fake account. Can't believe TikTok hasn't shut them down. We need to say which account is the real Dave. Even if you dont have any vids!! We can get him shut down
Good call Dave..ive been worrying about it!
Hey Dave and Camera Lady, hope you’re both doing well today and keeping cool and hydrated yourselves.
Very informative and interesting video as usual 💙💕🕷
I’m working my way through past videos… I’ve seen most of them, just the odd few I’ve not (but I’ll watch ones again 😂 😂)
Take care and stay safe 🥰💕💙😘xxx
❤❤❤❤
Great video dave, informative as ever, since we've had this hot weather I've just kept my curtains nearly closed, keeps my T room cooler. With regards to the Tik Tok chap, although we are doing are best, his followers have gone up, will keep trying.
extremely informative and timely, typical!!! thank you😍👍
Great help thanks camera lady and Dave, Been hit today with 3 different moults but the heat has kicked in, in sarfff London
There's supposed to be a heatwave in New York the next few days. I am not a summer person. It's the humidity that gets me. Take care, Dave, and feel better. Regards to the Camera Lady.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are the best ...love you show I have followed your from the beginning ...and it is super to se haw big it is now ☺️ hallo from Copenhagen Denmark...
Thanks for your support my friend ❤️👍
Take care Dave and Camera Lady!
Great video Dave, keep up the good work!
Thanks for all the tips here in the netherlands its about 35 degrees
I have airco unit so temperture wise its all good and the humidity is good
Keep on making the great content love watching you and camera lady
Enjoy the heat
Greetings from the netherlands
Those are actually chemistry “wash bottles”, rather than pipettes... They are very useful for more finely controlled watering, indeed.
It's been around 109° F here for the past month in central AZ with < 20% humidity. Our Sonoran Desert tarantulas get the majority of their moisture from their prey. They only come out of their burrows at night to hunt.
Hello great video information Dave
Thanks 👍
Dave you folks stay safe over there! and thanks for the great Info!!
Thanks, you too!
Hi Dave and camera lady many thanks for this video, also stay safe everyone
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great informative video as always Dave.have a great day
Thanks 👍
Hello Dave and Camera Lady. This is a bit silly but I was so tickled you mentioned my comment about the heat here in Texas. 🥰We all pretty much have AC so we just stay inside and it isn’t such a big deal. The heat brings the cicadas out and the are quite loud. The brown Texas tarantulas have all gone to ground. I was wondering, out of all your different types of beasties, which ones do you think handle the extreme temperatures better? I would think sand spiders like the heat but what about the cooler temperatures as well? It might be fun to do a video on the difference between the males and the females of the different breeds. One last thing for gnats, we use a small bowl with apple cider vinegar but we put plastic wrap over it and poke holes in that. Okay, bed time for Suzie 😴. Thank you for the lovely video. Stay safe and cool! Take care.
I hope everything is ok!! I heard about the fire over there!! Be safe
Great video as always -set ups are gorgeous- keep up the great work - and thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you
stay cool Dave...... thanks!!!
Open all your windows at night and suck in all the cool air then close up tight during the day and unplug everything electronic that your not using! If it’s plugged in it’s emitting some heat! Even electric fans put off heat from the motor so only run fans in the room your in.
Hey Dave! DO read this comment man, lots of good stuff in it, i may or ay not have went overboard with praise near the end, whoops.
I started this video before going to work while eating breakfast, had to get ready for work, planned to finish the video on one of my 15 minute breaks or my hour-long lunch break, but that didn`t happen because my friends had the same breaks as me so we chatted and laughed and gossiped about work lol. So i watched this after work, after a much needed dip in my pool and a shower. There`s a bit of a heatwave going on here in Canada as well, at least in my hometown, obviously i can`t speak for the rest of the country. Today it got to 36C, when you have a job like mine where you`re outside for most of your shift and it`s very physical, constantly dodging cars, sometimes the carts decide to be stubborn and the wheels lock so you have to fight harder to turn, happened to me today, fun times ya know? Sometimes it gets as hot as 45C but this time of year 30-40C is more common. In winter, -30 & -40 is not uncommon, bitterly freezing, lots of accidents on the highways...
Anyway: Great video Dave! Glad you touched on this topic, very good topic to cover, lots that can be said about this, and who better to cover it than you, Dave? And everything that you said, makes sense! I really liked that you showed us what you were trying to say by showing us a few enclosures, and by spraying water into an empty sling pot, me personally, i`m a visual learner, something that`s very important at school for subjects like math which i struggle with. Very nice touches, Dave. Thankfully, my two households (I`ve told you before in previous comments that my parents are separated, so obviously i`m talking about mom`s house and dad`s house, although i tend to call him Papa, which is French for dad, and i speak French as a second language, which i`ve told you before, i go to French school so ya know) are air-conditioned, although, my lizard enclosures (bearded dragon Long-Tail, got him when i was 5, he`s about 12 years old, and Leopard Gecko Rocky, got him for Christmas in 2020 after months of research) are always very warm ;).
BTW Dave, you got me with that moult for the Chaco Golden Knee, then once you said it was just a moult, i was like: Dammit Dave got me with the old spider moult trick.
Regarding the gnats: We get them in the summer sometimes, obviously not in the winter here for obvious reasons (snow) and we`ve actually been using that same trick for years!
BTW Dave: I LOVE your accent haha, it just makes the video that much more enjoyable to watch and they`re already very enjoyable! Not to mention that you say things that i pretty much never hear in Canada, i sometimes find myself saying things that you say in your videos and my family gives me weird looks lol. I guess some words are just UK slang haha, kind of like here in Canada we have **Ahem, clears throat**: Eh there bud, gonna go watch the hockey game bud, gonna get my double double coffee and go shovel the snow eh there bud, where`s my maple syrup, gonna go ride my moose to work bud.
Yes, some Canadians (especially my family, specifically my grandfather, dad`s dad) talk like that lol.
Before i wrap up this comment, here`s some positive/motivating words for you Dave, because you`re a cool guy and you deserve it!: Dave, for me your channel will always be one of a kind, there`s no invert creator like you. You`re the only one in my subscription list (keep in mind that i`m subbed to 15 invert creators, including you) who explains things the way you do, as in depth as you do. Your way of making enclosures is truly unique, you can tell that you have your spiders welfare in mind while making the enclosure. You`re just all around a good guy Dave, very cool. Although we live in different areas of the world (you`re literally across the ocean from me), you`re at the top of the list of creators whom i want to meet in public one day, it will be day that i will remember forever, because in many ways Dave, you`re my hero, my idol if you will. And i can only imagine your reaction, finally meeting me, i know how highly you think of me. I`ve always pictured the conversation starting like this: Me: Hello... Dave. **Dave turns his eyes to the side, and turns around and sees me sitting on a chair** Me: **Holds out hand** Noah Roy, pleasure to finally meet you. Then the conversation can go either way lol.
I also like how you dedicate full on evenings (you said this in one of the live-streams with Scott) to answering comments and messages, not many content creators do this, but you accept that RUclips has come to the point where it`s like a second job for you. Answering comments is another thing that makes a content creator just that much more awesome. I also love how you and Camera Lady have this kind of chemistry on camera, i`m sure you two have an absolute blast off camera! Not all relationships are healthy, but i think it`s safe to say that you two get along just fine, am i right, Dave?
BTW: I could be wrong but did you get new shelving for the Beastie Room? When you were showing us a few enclosures, it looked like different shelving that what was there before, am i right or am i going crazy?
I could write a legit book, just full of positive comments about you but this comment is already long enough as it is.
Do please reply with your thoughts, excellent video, i hope you, Camera Lady and the Beasties are holding up well in this heatwave and i will see you on Thursday! Looking forward to what you have in store for us! I hope you read all the way through, Dave.
One more thing: Happy the TikTok situation is going good, let`s bring that **says words that shouldn`t be said here** down. The sooner you create an account, the sooner we can and i quote, fight fire with fire.
Wow mate that must of took all morning to write 😂😂😂😂 thanks for your kind words ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@daveslittlebeasties Yeah Dave, i wrote that comment last night before bed, probably started around 8:50PM and posted it at about 9:45PM lol. I like to write if you can`t tell.
Reminds me of a song i like: ``Go ahead, write a book, i`ll be bringing fear to the neighbourhood.`` Song is called: Slappy, 2020 Nightmare album. Slappy the evil ventriloquist dummy (don`t call him dummy) with a serious Napoleonic Complex. The artist makes songs about movie characters, he has pretty much anyone you can think of. By far my favourite music artist, i`ve been frequenting his Chucky, Annabelle, Slappy, R.L Stine and Jurassic Park/World Songs lately.
but yes, that comment took a while to write.
Really useful info, cheers
Glad it was helpful!
G'day, mate. I'm an Aussie and I've lived most of m life in the tropics and sub-tropics. I can count on one hand the times I've been living in a place here when the temps went over 40C. Granted, I lived in places where summer averaged 35C. But you folks, you, from my memory once considered a heatweave to be 25C. I do honestly feel for you having to go through those temps. It'd be like me having to spend a Winter at 5C. I think I'd die.
Yes it’s only bad becouse we don’t get any time to get used to it 😂😂👍
AC units are ridiculously expensive and most of our homes are made for keeping heat in during cold winters, so we sure are struggling!
Thanks Dave this is useful over wild caught house spider I sometimes get I have found a female the other day
If the room is a bit humid anyway, it may be advantageous to add a small fan for air circulation, or turning on a ceiling fan. The additional airflow could prevent the enclosures from becoming septic/stagnant. Also, if you don't have AC, you could try what we call "A Redneck Air Conditioner" which is a temporary fix, but works in a pinch. Buy a cheap foam beer cooler, cut two holes near the top, add a small fan to one hole, fill the cooler with a bag of ice. The ice lasts a lot longer than you think, and it will knock a few degrees off the room.
Regarding the fungus gnats, I do keep those clear sticky strips (the ones that go on windows), on the tops of my roach colony lids (dubias can't get to them), but for my tarantulas, I put them on top of the mesh lids, stick side up. I put a slice of veg on top, and the little morons will get stuck en masse. It works pretty well, and I am only struggling to control them in my isopods tubs, everything else is basically gnat free now.
It’s suppose to feel like 111 F in Oklahoma in the US on Tuesday 😅😅😅
That's mad but at least you're country has wooden houses and air con 😂 our houses are insolatated and made of brick or stone and we don't have air con
@@Slodsworth will definitely be spending time in the AC lol
It's true lol. I'm 20 mins from OKC
@@morbidone88 I’m about an hour west of okc
Living Down Under where 40°C+ is common in Summer, a tip for evenings and nights when the temp dips outside and creeps inside so it becomes stifling indoors is keep doors and house shut up during the day, but open up doors and windows of a night.
Thanks Peter will give this a try 👍👍👍
Very informative :-)
"Don't water your skin. Water your spider." 😂 love you Dave.
Also, what do you do when you get haired by your tarantulas?
I dont normally im quit lucky and dont suffer to much at all 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties Ah ok. 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties That`s good then, Dave.
Greetings from Mocksville, North Carolina, USA. LOVED the little mini tour of the Beastie Room. You have done those before but how about some more in future? I really miss the one (I think it was the White Knee you showed here) that used to be right beside your worktable. She was always out and I swear she was watching you right along with us. Also, I'd asked in a previous comment about an anatomy video of top side and bottom side when someone's on the glass. Maybe you've got that in the pipeline. I'm not quite caught up but don't think you've posted one like that yet. Thank you as always for such great, interesting content.
Thats a cool idea 👍❤
Thanks for the advice Dave greatly appreciated
❤️❤️❤️
Im in Arizona. 110+ F here for days. Just getting hotter.
I'm in Az too.
Thats crazy !!!!
Just this weekend I've have 3 of those kind of T's that think its a good game to up-end their water dish, you reset it and they do it again 🤣
Remember every time you refill the bowl and she empties it , its all going into the soil or substrate and building up 😂👍
@@daveslittlebeasties indeed Dave, they're on a timeout 🤣
how about more information on spinnerets and how silk is formed and made of.. That's funny I was going to suggest apple vinegar.. AH your a fossorial spider keeper eh.. We have been luck here on the upper north west cost of the US.. 80F mostly looks like we might get a couple of 90F days but mostly nice comfortable weather.. cool in the mornings warming to a nice warm/hot afternoon..
Awesome Video Davies little beasties
Thanks 👍
I'm a great Fan of yours so you can use me in the Beastie room.
😂😂😂❤️
The difference between America and the UK is Air Conditioning, thats why we panic. Most households have that in the US, I don't personally know one friend or family member who had that in the UK. AC in the UK is generally only found in shops and some Hotels.
The units are also ridiculously expensive, and our homes are typically made for holding in heat due to cold winters.
@@Eli-pi4eh and we never really have hot enough weather to warrant it lol! Last year our summer was about a week long.
It's counterintuitive that tropical species could get killed by the heat of summer in the higher latitudes but you have to remember that tropical places don't have summers with their longer days. The only US state to never record a temperature over 100 F is also the only one in the tropics, Hawaii.
Well said buddy.
@@noahroy7145 Thx man!!
@@stephenbrand5661 No problem man! Since this video is about heat, where are you from and what has the weather been like lately? I`m from Ontario, Canada and it`s been between 30-40C, went up to 45 a few times though...
@@noahroy7145 Atlanta, Georgia here and it's been about the same.
@@stephenbrand5661 Ah, neat! Take care man!
We finally got rain tonight, hopefully it will cool things down (30°C + humidity). Lookin at 32° - 33° this coming week. I ❤️ my central air !!!!
A tuft of moss makes an excellent water bowl for small slings
Hi Dave, where did you get those Deli tubs from as I have a seladonia arriving this Friday and looks perfect for what I need and to home on some of my slings... cheers
I'm on about the tall 190ml tubs with the removable lids
They are called Tampa proof pots used in the food industry , you can get them on line 👍
A lot of folks here use dehumidifiers to make their homes feel cooler.
