The first channel is from a German guy...

This is about the murinus bcf or dcf ( plz correct me @KezyGLA )
Yes that is P. murinus found in Zimbabwe and over the border in Botswana. This was the first murinus in the hobby and they are like golddust now. I would kill for a murinus of this locality.

The P. murinus labelled as DCF in the hobby are usually from Kenya. BCF are from Tete national park and surrounding areas.

There was/is a guy from Denmark on terraristik who is offering cb. murinus from Zimbabwe

I enjoy watching Jon3800. I used to watch Tarantulaguy1976 but he, I guess, took a break to do a bunch of weight lifting/bodybuilding.

Due to two epic threads in the last 24 hours we're all aware of the two YTers who maintain large collections but whose husbandry techniques some people find questionable.

Luckily in thesebthreads I discovered a channel I didn't know existed that's actually pretty fantastic, so I figured rather than hating on folks we could share a few favorites that we think are fun & informative & provide good husbandry.

I'll start:


The Dark Den, a dude from Croatia whose enthusiasm is infectious & enclosures are awesome! Video quality & videography are great, I've watched everything, a few of the DIY vids twice. Apparently he's somewhere around here. He also rides a bike to town. In winter.


AraneAid
by our very own @EulersK is the one good thing that happened to me today, I've been watching & I've already learned a ton. Random fact, he has tattooed legs. Plus the PBUH dude approves, so go watch!


TarantulaSam
has twenty or so videos that are all enjoyable & he has some good tips & DIY enclosure videos. He looks to be sixteen, but there's a college degree on the wall in one of his videos so clearly we've got tarantula lovin' Doogie Howser on our hands.

Next?

EDIT: Updated with suggestions, discovered some great new channels! I'll try to keep up!


The Spiderman

Tom Big Spiders

I love watching The Dark Den! He's always super quick to respond to questions and his video quality and editing are amazing! I started off watching a lot of Tom Moran's, and his top picks for beginners is what I based my first 8 T's off of.

If it weren't for Tom Moran I wouldn't be keeping T's right now. I love all his videos, very patient/clam, and full of great information. I do watch all the others but not nearly as much as I watch Tom.

Tom is actually what got me more into the hobby as well. I had an A. avic for over a year, then picked up an A. geniculata sling. I wanted more information on housing slings and his website/youtube videos were so helpful.

+1 on @petkokc and his Dark Den - he's awesome and the production value of the videos are better than any of the other youtubers.

Edit: Also, Mysticspid has sweet videos and her voice is candy for my ears :) Too bad she seems to have dropped out.

Check out my new youtube channel please:) I'm new, so there's only one video on juvenile arboreal enclosures. I'm planning on uploading videos twice a week. Let me know what you think!

That was a fantastic video. I really like the "raw" look of it. Too many videos are edited to within an inch of their lives and it takes something from them in my eyes.

Subbed.
