" i also really like this t because its orange. and im also orange "
this made me laugh hella hard

[alexisagoblin]

I can’t express how much I appreciate you for not demonizing the obt I have three of them and all three retreat into their burrows and never give me threat poses occasionally rehousing I get something but that a no brainer since your basically destroying it’s home to move it into a new one. I really enjoyed this video .

[philipingvar]

For a future Tarantula Tuesday can you make a video about the different categories (fossorial, terrestrial, semi-arboreal, and arboreal) of tarantulas, how to set up a proper enclosure for each, and what tarantulas are part of those groups

I promised myself that I would never go Old World just because I don't need the extra anxiety or nervousness. I plan to keep that promise but Love this video. <3 You're a brave man, Richard. Nerves of Steel.

My first old world was a big surprise as i got it in a mystery box. P. Metallica, and i love it.

[kaity.did.]

I just got my first OW- a beautiful 1" M. balfouri. Still waiting for the adult coloration, but it's so velvety! The seller was also wonderful enough to add a freebie- a teeny tiny OBT! So glad to see them both on this list. Now for a P. Metallica...

[WolfpiperFL]

I have 9 new worlds and am finally taking the plunge into old worlds. Picking up a C. marshalli tomorrow night, and I’m so excited. I’m scared of the speed, but I’m confident in my safe and diligent care. Can’t wait to own my unicorn.

[taeviansworldofreptiles]

My T list just got significantly larger XD

[ragnarlothbrok]

My 1st Old world ( Ceratogyrus Darlingi) 😍🤗

[kaminator]

Couldn't agree more Richard, picked up an H. puclhripes a couple of weeks ago at a convention. By far the best looking and surprisingly easy to care for.

Tarantulas tarantulas everybody loves tarantulas, if you see fuzz where your hampster was it's probably because tarantulas 😂 my boyfriend just said that and I died laughing..he has a such a wicked sense of humor

[KanekiKen-wtul]

I love it. I totally agree with the OBT, it's my first old world tarantula and I didn't even have a problem with her❤️ greetings from Philippines ❤️

[nicoladolby]

Fantastic video! My top 10 would be:
1. Poecilotheria metallica
2. Lampropelma nigerimmum (Sanghe)
3. Selenotypus plumipes
4. Cyriopagopus schmidti
5. Eucratoscelus pachypus
6. Pterinocolus murinus (Tête)
7. Selenocosmia crassipes
8. Heterothele Gabonensis
9. Hystocrates crassipes
10. Heteroscodra maculata

Man, I needed that video. Just saw the Exotics Lair's video where he received a sling T that got squished by bad packaging. Your videos are a cure. (a "how to make a proper package to mail your spiders" would be good for a lot of people at this point)

[stephanieporter]

I definitely think the H. villosella "chestnut baboon" should have been on this list. I think all the others were perfect! Thank you for another amazing video!

[janpkehl]

Started out with H. pulchripes, and wouldn‘t pick any other as my first old world.

[jeffreygolish]

I recently picked up my first two old world slings. They both made your list. A C. Darlingi and an OBT. The one inch Darlingi gave me a threat pose when I nudged it with my paint brush, but I waited until it calmed down and got it housed without much trouble. The OBT molted in transit, and so was the easiest housing I've ever had. It's good to be lucky.

[ArachnoDan]

100% agree with number #1 it was my first old world and I treated it like it was radioactive when there was no need to! Great video as always! 🔥

[shikarifox]

4:14 I'd get one just to say to people "I have Metallica in my room."
