It isn't. I've never seen a word spelled like that :p

EulersK vids are pretty good.

I own an AF B. emilia, beautiful IMO, you cannot go wrong.

The other 2 I would recommend if you cannot get one, is B. albiceps and B. klaasi.

I made a typo on a made up word

The emilia is already a done deal. Is it waiting for weather in California to cool down to better shipping temperatures.

I'm excited.

Yeah... I watched a ton of his of course when I first got into Tarantulas... I know now that they're quite... Outdated I'll call them.

Still if it weren't for those videos I wouldn't have seen so many different Ts and went... "Man I'm gonna need another one of these"

Of course I was joking on my comment, still, Jon3800 helped a lot of people with their questions about T's in YT, with his time.

Can't be helped that he is a quirky dude, and very likely is hybridising his grammostola right now :D

Welcome to the hobby. You'll want to buy some shelves.

Ha... Luckily my closet has top shelves... 16 was the most I ever had. 11 now. Soon to be 12. I'll see if I indeed sell one or not.

Have had my Ts a little over 2 years now.

Robc Vids are outdated but pretty fun. He is in a constant state of aw when works with his T's. So I enjoy his vids.

There is another one I hesitantly recommend. Deadly Tarantula Girl. If you watch her vids in the presence of another woman, get use to the comments they will make about her or learn to tune them out. I am not sure if her vids are accurate because the voice gets to me but there is great camera work. She has a video on a h.mac that sold me on how beautiful these T's are.

Deadly Tarantula Girl is a bane on this hobby. She treats these animals like objects, nothing more. Burrowers with 1" of substrate, webbers with no anchors, arboreals with no cork. She feeds them to keep them alive, but she clearly does not care about the well-being of her spiders. She is click bait.

I know what you mean. I could probably punch some holes in an empty pickle jar lid and keep one of my snakes alive in it, but that doesn't mean it's an acceptable thing to do.

I have only seen one of her videos, will admit something about her rubbed me the wrong way, didn't know about her lack of good husbandtry.

Jon3800, tarantula addict are my favorites. I like Robs videos alot too. Looks like he provides top notch accommodations for his Ts also definitely shows them compassion.

It really depends on what you primarily use YouTube for.
I subscribe to a lot of different channels because I am not primarily looking for care information - I'm looking for what to expect from the tarantula itself. I use YouTube more to see the temperament of the spider, and how it reacts to interactions and being rehoused, than I use it for actual care information.
Whenever I am contemplating getting a tarantula that I am not familiar with - I head to YouTube to see how that tarantula acts. Although I might read a hundred different comments calling it 'skittish', 'defensive', 'fast' - nothing can really prepare you for those things as much as a video of them displaying those traits.
I subscribe to the below people. I have gotten something from all their accounts - whether it is good or bad - so I feel that it is worth checking them out when I am in need of information.
My suggestion is that you don't limit yourself in your research, but that you ask questions of the information that you find. Not every single resource is going to be 100% correct, but they are not going to be 100% incorrect either. The best thing you can do is become knowledgeable enough to know which is which. You get that knowledge from asking questions.
