Nocturnal Fangs Update: New Article, YouTube Channel, and New Tarantulas

Last updated on by NF-Stefan

Hey tarantula friends,

Today’s post is a short update covering a few things that have been happening recently:

  • A new article that just went live
  • The launch of the Nocturnal Fangs YouTube channel
  • And yes, I am getting new animals

New Article Online

I decided to expand the Health and Emergencies section with a new article: My Tarantula Escaped! What to Do and How to Prevent It. Anyone who has been in the hobby long enough has probably had at least one small slip up that resulted in a tarantula escape. It happens, even to experienced keepers.

In this article, I explain why escapes usually occur, what to do when you suddenly find yourself staring at an empty enclosure, and how to prevent the same situation from happening again in the future. If you have ever experienced an escape, or want to avoid one altogether, this article is for you.

I Am on YouTube

I have officially started the Nocturnal Fangs YouTube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/@nocturnalfangs_com

I will be posting regular videos covering a mix of topics, including DIY projects, everyday keeper life, and educational content related to tarantula care and husbandry. If you are interested in seeing things in motion rather than just reading about them, feel free to check it out and follow along.

New Animals Are Coming

I am also quite excited that temperatures are finally rising again and shipping is becoming possible. Shortly before Christmas, I placed an order for a few tarantulas, and they will soon be arriving.

Here is what I will be adding to the collection:

  • Bumba horrida (female)
  • Megaphobema robustum (female)
  • Pamphobeteus sp. mascara (unsexed)
  • Chaetopelma olivaceum (unsexed)

Naturally, you will see the unboxing and first impressions on the YouTube channel.

Stay curious, keep it simple, and let your spiders be spiders.

Do You Need a Separate Tarantula Room? Keeping Tarantulas in Shared Living Spaces

When you watch your favourite tarantula YouTuber or spend time reading through online communities, you will quickly notice that many keep their tarantulas in a separate room. Sometimes this is done to maintain a stable room climate, sometimes simply to keep other pets out. And this brings me directly to the topic of today’s post: is it bad practice not to have a dedicated tarantula room? I do not think so. Let me explain why. Why Keep a Separate Tarantula Room? One major reason for having a separate tarantula room is to reduce interference from other pets, most commonly cats or dogs. We all love our furry companions, but they can pose a real risk to tarantula enclosures. Cats in particular are notorious for knocking things off shelves. While their efforts are often unsuccessful with large, adult-sized enclosures, sling enclosures are much more vulnerable. If a cat manages to knock …
