Video footage of unboxing the females Ceratogyrous darlingi and Brachypelma vagans that I received yesterday.

First off, you have very steady hands! It is quite impressive. If you are going to be doing this YouTube channel extensively, I would suggest in the future getting a tripod. This will allow you to film much more unrestricted. You could have even shown the rehousing. Secondly, if you are doing this YouTube channel extensively and trying to make it a big thing, I would do closed captioning. Again, if this is just going to be a small thing then you don't have to do it, but if it is going to be big I would do the captioning because I know that I, along with all of the deaf tarantula community, greatly appreciate the effort. Also, a divided tank is not the best idea since many people report that one tarantula almost always escapes and eats the others.

is it a cochlear implant? or impaired hearing? just curious b/c I've noticed the option for cochlear implants is oddly popular with even children getting them...which oddly for someone like me who has no respect for ethics or morals I find it to be immoral. also YT does auto generated captions.

One of my first T uploads, let me know what you guys think. :)
better than my videos. I was planning to move from tarantulas to programming but im too lazy.

I am profoundly deaf with hearing aids. It is controversial to get cochlear implants because it destroys your remaining hearing and replaces it with a very robotic tone. Thus it is best to get it when you are very young so you can get used to it, but that is even more controversial. Also, YouTube's closed captioning is, to put it politely, garbage. Sure I can mostly put together what they are saying but for some channels it is like listening to gibberish.

aside from some tinnitus my hearing works fine is I guess I don't understand, I used to have a friend who was deaf in one ear so he would has trouble hearing me when I directly spoke to him. however I do know what you mean by trash youtube captions. I find it immoral to say "my child is broken let me place a metal spike through their skull" I just have deep beef with bad parents and tend to deeply philosophize bout it. I do however wear glasses and with our them i should be considered blind, surgery sounds like a nice fantasy but totally unnecessary as my lens work fine. children didn't ask for existence, then when birthed told they are imperfect to a standard...frankly I find such a notion sick, completely disgusting.

If you ask me, I would not use double enclosures. Too risky.

First tarantula feeding video with some pretty awesome species, not even a third of my total Ts are in it though. Let me know what you guys think and any interaction with the channel is appreciated, thank you.

Actually nicely done,IMHO.Nice animals.
I kind of wish when people show these videos,they would put a small effort into
telling a little about the T.Like,"ive raised it from a sling", "this girl bolted on me when I first rehoused her",
"shes calm as can be,until I fill the waterbowl,then its threat posture all day".
That's why Tom Moran is a fixture in this hobby,he pulls you in to his videos so well.
But well done.

Are you sure that Brachypelma albopilosum is a Honduran? Looks more like a Nicaraguan to me.
That was a good video - short and sweet with just enough detail and a small selection of tarantulas. Good lighting and sound too.
If you do unboxing videos please, for the love of all that is holy, have something on hand that will actually cut open the box properly the first time. I want to rip my hair out when I see people struggling to open these boxes. Does nobody own a proper knife?

Awesome job @Mvtt70. I like how you only see the tarantulas feeding, not the tarantulas s l o w l y c r e e p i n g t o w a r d s t h e p r e y. Just enough information to make it engaging, but not so much as to distract from the action.

Great job!

Thanks,

Arthroverts

Thanks and thanks for the comment on the video:)

I've gotten 18 or so T's since this so definitely unboxings on the way probably tomorrow I'll upload it and a sharp box cutter will be included.:cool:

Thanks! Hopefully the videos will only get better from here on out.

Quick video of me rehousing my juvenile female P. auratus into her new enclosure. One of my favorite species, check it out:smug:

Awesome video. I like your short and informative approach. Some suggestions:

- show the T a little longer
- show the whole enclosures and say some words on how you set them up (perhaps in a separate video)

Btw:. You say 2 times that you gave the T a meal worm. It was no mealworm, however, but a Zophoba (superworm).

Anyway, you have a new subscriber!

Edit: just saw that you have separate (re)housing videos already!

Thank you I appreciate it. I have another rehousing video with my new N. incei "Gold" female that I'll be uploading in the next couple days as well.
I'm excited to see that! I have one that may need a rehouse soon. Those things are lightening fast.

Yea I call the supers mealworms lol got it. I will make some more videos on enclosure setups and explain the needs of different species (next one is N. incei).

There'll be more of that type of stuff in the next videos, still getting a feel for recording
