A very clear vid of my African Back Horn Tarantula (Ceratogyrus darlingi) webbing. This is direct, NOT through the enclosure wall so more detail is recorded. You can even see some strands of web reflecting light.

First thing first: I don't recommend handling Tarantulas, especially Old World Tarantulas. Their bites can mess you up. If you do handle a Tarantula, it's at your own risk.

Cameroon Tawny Red Baboon Tarantula (Hysterocrates gigas) is known to be defensive, fast and defensive (double defensive!). One outside of her tank, my H. gigas calmed down a bit, enough to be handled. What you did not see in the vid is 10 seconds after I pressed "Stop" recording, she went back into her usual self. Gave me a huge adrenaline rush!

This is probably the only 240fps clip of a Tarantula catching a prey on Youtube. The other clips are normal speed (30 or 60 fps) stretched out to make it looks slow. This one is smooth! Staring in the clip is a Greenbottle Blue Tarantula (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens) and a Blaptica dubia roach.
