Unboxing my first Tarantula

[Staehilomyces]

Well, here's a video of me unboxing my first tarantula, a gorgeous little Selenotypus sp. "champagne robustus". If you have any improvements to suggest for my setup, then by all means post them.
As a side note, I do not intend to handle this tarantula - there are simply too many risks. I thought I'd put that out there, as I do handle centipedes in my videos.

 

[Chris LXXIX]

Nice work, the set up looks spot on.

 

[Venom1080]

Welcome to the hobby.. lol funny as you've been here for a good while now.


@Chris LXXIX congrats on the new title rank. You're a better person now, I'm sure.

@Chris LXXIX congrats on the new title rank. You're a better person now, I'm sure.

Which new title rank are you talking about, my man?

Technically I will reach the new one ('god' or something) when my posts will reach number 5000 if I'm not wrong. It's been a while since there's 'emperor' written below my lovely avatar/s, anyway.

I have to tell you, also, that I don't care at all about this 'title-game' ranking stuff, for that I care only about the Goddess*; Chris LXXIX ego, desires, perversions and being in the next future a vegan working in a liberal library as a libertarian-librarian

*0.1 Pelinobius muticus PBUH (Peace Be Upon Her)

Arachnoemperor. Weren't you just a lowly king till recently?

Lol we will ascend to godhood together, my friend. Forever to walk the heavens with our P muticus by our sides.

Don't get ahead of yourself, your still a squire in my eyes.

Bring me my sword and saddle the horses.

No, but I was a little 'lowly king' in real life almost 20 years ago, when I've tried every Eastern Europe 'delicatessen'* available in Italian Night Clubs, from Russians to Polski to Belarus ones... but not recently, and definitely not here.

*I'm talking only about food like Boršč and hand crafted Matrioska/s, not sexy blonde chicks, uh. I refuse vulgar materialism and the pleasure of the flesh, livig/following upon what Priests (those without sins) teached to us

Update: the T has settled down nicely, done a little webbing, and took a cricket. Certainly won't be my last tarantula!

I'm happy for that. Unfortunately, what sucks a bit, is the Australian position/laws (however IMO logical) about non native T's.

 

[Staehilomyces]

Yeah, I'd love some of the exotics. Still, I'm happy with what I have,

 

[Mirandarachnid]

I'm happy with what I have,

I don't blame you, Y'all have some cool T's.

I just kinda drool over this video every once and a while.

 

[Staehilomyces]

Yeah, mine did that in the unboxing, but my cam didn't pick it up. Also, there was a leaf blower being used outside to add to the background noise.

 

[Mirandarachnid]

I wish my T's would talk to me

 

[Paul1126]

I don't blame you, Y'all have some cool T's.

Well, that is very intimidating

A couple of them make that sound, just not as loud. Selenotholus sp "Kotzman" is one of them

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

That's the one ability that I wish NWs possessed that some OWs have.

 

[Staehilomyces]

Yeah, it gave me quite the shock. Still, after keeping centipedes for years, I'm pretty well versed around venomous inverts with a temper.

Jebus,Marry and Josephine that T is no joke!

Congrats on your first T
