Tarantula Documentaries

[Daniel_h]

Does anybody know any names of tarantula documentaries? i really wana find some

preferably ones just on tarantulas and hopefully showing T.Blondi...i have never seen any videos on TV of these in the wild?

if not any other docs on T's?

thanks

I would recommend you to buy the book "the tarantula keeper's guide" by Stanley A. Schultz that is really useful book.. or try in the Rick west website http://www.birdspiders.com/main.html he's the man.

there is a Nat'l Geo special that concentrates on blondi

i think the title would be something like National Geographic: Predators: Giant Tarantulas

... or something like that.

That's frustrating to hear, lol. I know these shows exist. I watch the Discovery Channel ALL THE TIME, and I have yet to see any of them. :wall:

I try to live every week like " shark week "

thanks ill look into those


yeh i watch discovery all the time andthe only time i catch T's in a program is when its about venom etc and they geta little mention

those blondi ones sound like exactly what i am looking for

Check out youtube. The quality usually sucks, and you usually don't get some guy with an accent narrating like on the discovery channel, but there are some great vids on there.

 

[Daniel_h]

any recommendations on what keywords to use...
i usually type theraphosa blondi etc to look at the feeding vids and have never seen any documentary clips
