Brilliant video Tom as usual, always informative and enjoyable, no wonder it's become a favourite Tom, it's a beautiful species of spider 🕷 and definitely worth having in any collection.

Lovely girl! Those colors are amazing 😍. Nice to know that this fossorial T does come out sometimes. Would be a shame to never see her.

Nice video Tom. I had one of these. Mine never grew well. I use these containers as well. I buy the adhesive backed velcro rolls from walmart, and use that to secure the lids. It's not as pretty, but I don't want to reenact that scene from Dr. No. Have a good summer!

I listen to your podcast every Monday morning during my hour commute to work. 😀
Monday Morning Edit: Wow, this last podcast in the topic of death was one of the best ones you've done in a long time! 👏👏👏

what a beauty. a seller in my region had a 2cm female for sale a while back, but i was not willing to pay 150€ for it. i hope they will have some slings in the future.

Fantastic display man and great video as always👍🏽

Billie you should take a side job as a spider, tarantula film expert. You would do a great job on one of those nature show. Yes this is a pretty orange T but I still love blue ones the best.

Lovely spider ! Didn't know these reach up to 4" and more. Something to consider.

Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

Hey Tom,
C. cyaneus really is a beautiful T.
Thanks for the nice video.
I got my C. cyaneus in Aug. last year as a tiny sling so small I was a bit worried about feeding and keeping her. But she has really grown quite fast. 1.25-1.5" + now. It's hard to get an accurate measure as she has become very reclusive .
I've had to open up a small hole and place prey near the opening. As you said you did with yours ( in previous vid) Mine tends to stay sealed behind cork bark and burrowed down in substrate.
None the less I very much enjoy this colorful little T. I am waiting for her to put on a little more size and hopefully she will become less shy so I can see her more often.

Cool species! I'll have to be on the lookout for one!

ORANGE! I like orange. I have been looking at those Lava spiders, too!

[Lisa-eufy]

You have such a beautiful selection of Ts! I'm soooo jealous! I'm from NZ. No Ts here..😪💔

[gerardo]

Great video Tom, I wish you could talk about Bonnetina maybe on your podcast I got one so I'm curious about the diversity in thar genus. TIA!

Hi Tom, spray that hinge with Pam cooking spray 👍
What a gorgeous spider! Got to love the redheads ❣️ I'm wondering how she is about kicking hairs.
