I don't think you're really supposed to see the spider very often unless you're feeding it? So I assume that this species hides under the sand all the time until it senses vibration, it's not just going to wander around the enclosure like other species and find a water bottle cap.

I so agree. His presentation is immaculate.

I remember reading that those two bite cases are dubious, and all we really know about them is venom study on mice, where we found their bite is 15 times more necrotic than brown recluses. From what I've seen from other care videos is getting these guys to bite is nearly impossible. They're just not panicky. The explanation I remember reading is that they don't really have a lot of predators to worry about.

@jamestully156

5 ай бұрын

Other than rare exceptions like this I find that most medically significant arthropods aren't as bad as medically significant vipers and elapids. I've also seen that anytime legislators start talking about banning medically significant tarantulas or scorpions they start talking about banning them all since they don't know enough about them to know that different species have different venom.

@Erzz197

5 ай бұрын

Where I live, there are restrictions on "captive wildlife," which is essentially defined as "land-dwelling vertebrates that aren't farm animals." So invertebrates aren't covered. The prohibition list includes "all venomous animals" but things like tarantulas are still allowed so it's quite confusing.

While this spider doesn't seem like a great candidate for a pet, it's still cool to learn about it and all its quirks. Not a spider that gets talked about a lot. Love your content!

You guys should to a US, state by state map of the radest reptiles, amphibians, aracnids, and arthropods! I live and grew up in Washington state, and my votes go to the common garter snake, the rough skinned newt, the hobo spider, and the spit bug!

I think the most important thing with these, is they have 2 saving graces. They are not defensive and they can't climb smooth surfaces. Its not like you need to worry about extreme acts of defense from them.

Most tempting box of sand I've ever seen in my life.

Let's all be honest here, even a vinegaroon or tailless whip scorpion would put almost any marriage into some rocky territory (my wife, in no uncertain terms, has explicitly stated that fire WILL be involved if I try to get any creepy and/or scary looking inverts, especially arachnids).

I LOVE the look of tarantula cribs enclosures, but as someone with 30 tarantulas and several true spiders, my bank account couldn't handle it. So for the time being they're mostly in tupperware lol. But I'd love a sand spider, they're so unique looking with that abdomen.

tarantula cribs should expand their shipping to Europe, we really don't have anything like those acrylic enclosures over here, it's mostly the panel enclosures put together with rubber bands, and those doesn't exactly feel safe.

And some of the sweet reptiles like chuckwalla, desert tortoise, and rattlesnakes. I've seen them all down there while camping.

So many people are wanting these, so thank you for doing this one!!

I've kind of wanted a pet tardigrade for a while now. I imagine getting a petri dish without agar and putting moss in it and getting a low power microscope to observe it occasionally. You should do that video. Maybe you have a better setup idea.

on the theme of fairly hardy invertebrates, I'd love to see a leech video eventually!

"Hi there, this is a box of sand". That was enough for me to like the video, close it and be satisfied.

When i was getting into inverts my local reptile shop offered to sell me one and didn't even say it was in any way dangerous, just kind of cool. But i bought a couple tarantulas and jumping spiders instead and honestly that was probably a very good decision lol. My adult male A. chalcodes, Brian, was an excellent starter and still excellent to interact with with no risk of losing my arm (or worse).

Wonderful video as always, thanks for giving so much spotlight to inverts these days, truly appreciate it

I love how he sounds like Charlie from It's Always Sunny. Thank you Charlie, I needed this in my life.

This video just came out and Ive been shopping around for one of these beuties for the last week. Its a sign!!

Ok that little spider is adorable. I want one.

"Six-eyed sand spider" sounds like "blue-eyes white dragon"

"Ummm... I wouldn't..." 😂 best advice ever 😂

It's so cute, what a shame its so deadly😢 Edit: I immediately had to watch The Spider Who Couldn't Hide....

At a factory job. I had armored gloves to protect my hands from being cut by blades. So I kind of feel like there's something I could use to protect myself from a spider.

Is this video on the Sicarius Thomisoides? Probably picking two of those up tomorrow.

This is definitely my favorite one yet. Though I hope one day soon you do a Humboldt squid. I think it might score lower than the child. Maybe.

I would love to see a video about Tentacled Snakes. I learned about them recently and I think they are fascinating creatures.

I love you guys having opportunities to go to exotic locales, and encourage folks who are willing to financially help that out, but aren't y'all located in the Southwest? I would think you could have a pretty rad arthropod outing farely locally as well. Sure, it probably wouldn't draw as many clicks as the Amazon or Australia, but I know I'd be interested and it would be *hugely* less expensive in the mean time as you save for bigger trips..

I got a male he's been going for over a year fully grown female can live over 10 years good pet 😊

Loved this vid! 1 glaring question tho: why only 6 eyes? 👀👀👀

I love this!!!

nice comedic timing on this one my dude

This is such an interesting species, I hadn't heard of them before

hey clint slightly off topic but is there any chance we could see a video about the asian forest scorpion? and more to that, maybe a general comparison between them & the emperor scorpion?

I had one they are very hardy and easy to care for. It lived for 6 years!

How do they get laid if they stay in the same spot for months at a time without moving? Asking for a friend (who needs practical life advice and isn't me)
