Nobody handles their tarantulas as calmly as you. You make every T look like a beginner T in your videos. There is a lot to learn from watching you do your thing.

The way she tucked her leg when you first nudged her was adorable. Spectacular rehouse

[RedEyedCowboy]

I have never seen an OBT moved without threat posture. That right there was experience and practice!! So impressive.

Dave you are indeed the spider whisperer. However, all animals pick up on our energy. If you interact with these guys, or any species all hyped up, or scared or without respect, then they’re probably more often than not react defensively. You’ve shown us if you remain calm and gentle and treat your spider with respect that these creatures can be just as calm as any other spider. Thanks to you and camera lady for another great video!

After watching this video I finally plucked up the courage and rehoused my obt. It went better than I thought thanks to you Mr Daves beasties 🕷

[katherineozbirn]

You are so methodical and prepared. I don't even watch other spider videos because the keepers think they have to act like clowns and then they play with the spiders like they are toys. We are keepers, not children acting with abandon with living things. Kudos to you, sir.

She's so big, yet so gentle! What a looker too! I'm sure everyone is glad you purchased her

Beautiful OBT Dave, amazing addition to your collection and channel! Just wanted to comment regarding the mesh segment of the video and share my recent personal experience. I lost my P.metallica back on the 10th of April when she got one of her front legs AND the opposite side back leg stuck on the mesh of an Exo nano tall. I knew she was due any day for a molt and she actually attempted to molt to free herself but obviously couldn't move her two stuck legs. The carapace popped and the abdomen started to peel away, but that's as far as she made it. By the time I got home and found her she was completely lifeless, fully stretched out, stuck to the mesh. Her death was no fault of her own. That one is on me as I had the plexiglass and tools to remove the mesh and mod the lid and should have done so before putting her in. I put her in thinking, meh, I'll replace it before it's an issue. She was in there less than a month before tragedy struck. My P.irminia got stuck to the mesh while I was home the very next day and I was able to free her. The mesh in all my exo's (luckily only 3 of them in use so far) was removed and replaced with drilled plexiglass that same week. I am glad you've not experienced such a tragedy in your collection as of yet. Be it 40 years or just 1 short month, it's not a problem until it is.

i could listen to you talk about spiders all thanks for another video Dave!

[Charliemum]

She is stunning 😍 feel sorry for obt's they get such a bad rap because of some stupid ppl poking and upsetting them before they make their vids so they get a nasty reaction for the video and then get more views because the poor spider freaked out, such a shame because as you've just proven if given respect and treated right they aren't as bad as ppl make them out to be. Great video as always Dave, Camera Lady she's perfect 🥰

[zoologicalsociety]

Beautiful work, Dave!

The OBT, despite (or perhaps due to) its reputation, often yields more successful rehouses for us. They tend to be more predictable than other Old Worlds, in my personal opinion.

As always, your style and professionalism is an inspiration to watch. Keep up the excellent work!

(p.s. fully agree with your terrestrial/arboreal hybrid setup 👍)

Love the calm way you allways handle the spiders..

[mikewinings]

You are the Bob Ross of spiders you use a paint brush, have a calming voice, loves nature and gentle, lol

[Wortnik]

A true master of your craft, calmest OBT vid I've ever seen! 😄

[kalahrenee]

I have 2 big ones. One female, one male that I raised from slings. They tried to act tough more in the young age, now they are my calm sweethearts.

[RJ---]

I watch a bunch of you T keepers and you seem to have the best understanding of their behavior by far

[lauriefulk]

Good job Dave and Camera Lady on the rehouse for OBT. I always look forward to seeing a video from Dave's Little Beasties.

[darkknight]

I don't think that there are many arachnids that are as beautiful as she is.I have also never seen an OBT react so calmly to being decanted into a larger environment, all down to your wonderfully calm and respectful manner towards her.

[PorscheRacer]

What a gorgeous old world spider. It's amazing how agile these big brutes are.

[MrPuusilima]

This is exactly what i have been saying, OBT's have a reputations as mean, agressive etc.. even they can be really nice spiders. They just dont handle stress very well. But definetly they arent agressive. I just love these videos❤ Allways high respect towards spiders and great info! 😊
