This is my Ephebopus murinus, it's known as skeleton tarantula, because it looks like that. There are skeleton-like markings on its legs. This is my big female. She's very fast and aggressive. I the next video I'll try to handle that, but you should never try it if you don't know your tarantula well. In this video you can see a lot of hunting moments and also some speed "records". Tarantulas aren't the fastest spiders in the world, but you can't say they're slow, some of them such as genus Poecilohteria, Chilobrachys and so on (mainly from Asia) are pretty fast and you should never handle them. This one is very nice and I think she wouldn't bite me immediately. Another interesting fact is that it's similar to Avicularias (they look different you may say) but it's true. In this video she ate a lot of crickets and one grasshopper, I admit it looks cruel but it's a natural way. Tarantulas are predators and they eat living creatures.


Music was fistly composed (by me) using Stage piano Yamaha NP-V80 but the qualty was pretty bad so I used my program Magix music maker. This song is one of my the most favorite and I suppose that also one of the best. I own the rights to any music or shots.

Check my profile/channel to find another tarantula or some other interesting and unusual animals/pets.

Hope you enjoyed and more videos coming soon.
