0:00:00.960,0:00:02.639
today we are going to talk about the

0:00:02.639,0:00:05.000
anatomy of a tarantula

0:00:05.000,0:00:09.360
[Music]

0:00:09.360,0:00:11.200
welcome to tarantula collective my name

0:00:11.200,0:00:12.960
is richard and if you enjoy videos about

0:00:12.960,0:00:14.719
tarantulas scorpions and other

0:00:14.719,0:00:16.640
invertebrates and exotic pets make sure

0:00:21.840,0:00:23.920
reiterate i am not a biologist and i

0:00:23.920,0:00:26.160
have no scientific background i'm just a

0:00:26.160,0:00:28.400
guy that keeps and loves tarantulas and

0:00:28.400,0:00:30.560
other invertebrates as well as reptiles

0:00:30.560,0:00:32.399
amphibians pretty much any exotic pet

0:00:32.399,0:00:34.320
but my friends over at arthropods

0:00:34.320,0:00:36.000
ambassadors gave me this really cool

0:00:36.000,0:00:38.800
gift it is a 40 vision tarantula spider

0:00:38.800,0:00:40.399
model at least that's what it says here

0:00:40.399,0:00:42.160
and it's stem certified and we're going

0:00:42.160,0:00:44.640
to put this together and learn all about

0:00:44.640,0:00:46.800
the different parts of a tarantula i

0:00:46.800,0:00:48.719
don't want to dissect a real tarantula

0:00:48.719,0:00:50.079
or anything like that but i thought this

0:00:50.079,0:00:51.760
would be a good opportunity since i get

0:00:51.760,0:00:53.440
so many questions from people asking

0:00:53.440,0:00:55.440
about different names or different parts

0:00:55.440,0:00:57.440
of tarantulas now if you're not familiar

0:00:57.440,0:00:59.120
with arthropod ambassadors i will leave

0:00:59.120,0:01:00.559
a link form down below in the

0:01:00.559,0:01:02.640
description they breed and sell a lot of

0:01:02.640,0:01:04.879
mantises and isopods as well as other

0:01:04.879,0:01:06.479
invertebrates and they do a lot of

0:01:06.479,0:01:08.479
educational work so a huge thanks to

0:01:08.479,0:01:09.920
them for sending this out and if you're

0:01:09.920,0:01:11.680
interested in getting one for yourself i

0:01:11.680,0:01:13.040
will leave an affiliate link for this

0:01:13.040,0:01:14.560
product down below in the description as

0:01:14.560,0:01:16.080
well now it won't cost you anything

0:01:16.080,0:01:18.159
extra to use that link but the channel

0:01:18.159,0:01:20.320
does get a small commission from amazon

0:01:20.320,0:01:21.759
if you end up purchasing it so that

0:01:21.759,0:01:23.520
definitely helps and i always appreciate

0:01:23.520,0:01:25.360
the support but to start off what we

0:01:25.360,0:01:27.439
have is just the body of the tarantula

0:01:27.439,0:01:28.720
you know a lot of holes where stuff is

0:01:28.720,0:01:30.799
supposed to go and really the only thing

0:01:30.799,0:01:32.799
that's featured on the body that isn't

0:01:32.799,0:01:34.240
listed or broken apart are the

0:01:34.240,0:01:36.079
spinnerets which this tarantula looks to

0:01:36.079,0:01:38.479
be a brachypelma homore or a mexican red

0:01:38.479,0:01:40.079
knee tarantula they only have two

0:01:40.079,0:01:42.000
spinnerets like most tarantulas now i

0:01:42.000,0:01:43.439
think i've got it laid out correctly but

0:01:43.439,0:01:45.200
we'll find out as we put it together now

0:01:45.200,0:01:47.200
tarantulas have eight legs sometimes

0:01:47.200,0:01:48.720
people get confused because they see the

0:01:48.720,0:01:50.640
pedops and think they have ten legs but

0:01:50.640,0:01:51.840
we'll talk about that in a little bit

0:01:51.840,0:01:55.330
right now let's get these legs attached

0:01:55.330,0:02:05.680
[Music]

0:02:15.540,0:02:18.000
[Music]

0:02:18.000,0:02:19.280
now i'm noticing while putting this

0:02:19.280,0:02:21.040
together there's definitely a right and

0:02:21.040,0:02:23.120
wrong slot for the legs and each of the

0:02:23.120,0:02:25.280
little end pieces are slightly different

0:02:25.280,0:02:26.800
they got a different little shape so you

0:02:26.800,0:02:27.920
know that you're putting it into the

0:02:27.920,0:02:29.520
right hole so we got the legs on the

0:02:29.520,0:02:31.599
body and you can see there are little

0:02:31.599,0:02:33.519
nerves they have what they refer to as

0:02:33.519,0:02:35.040
the nerve cord that's running through

0:02:35.040,0:02:36.800
some of the legs which is very cool to

0:02:36.800,0:02:39.519
see again i'm just going off what is the

0:02:39.519,0:02:41.519
little booklet says inside of this i'm

0:02:41.519,0:02:43.519
not a scientist or biologist so i guess

0:02:43.519,0:02:45.760
what i'm trying to say is don't base a

0:02:45.760,0:02:47.920
research paper off of the anatomy that i

0:02:47.920,0:02:49.680
describe in this video

0:02:49.680,0:02:51.040
i'm just assuming that they know what

0:02:51.040,0:02:52.400
they're talking about so the first thing

0:02:52.400,0:02:54.400
we're going to put in here is the brain

0:02:54.400,0:02:56.560
and the eyes now tarantulas don't have a

0:02:56.560,0:02:59.120
brain like you and i do or other mammals

0:02:59.120,0:03:00.959
or even reptiles i mean you can see that

0:03:00.959,0:03:02.640
it looks a lot different and the eyes

0:03:02.640,0:03:04.080
are actually connected directly to the

0:03:04.080,0:03:05.760
brain and the eyes are referred to as a

0:03:05.760,0:03:07.360
celly which i think is how you pronounce

0:03:07.360,0:03:08.720
that but it looks like you just popped

0:03:08.720,0:03:12.000
these in here in the top

0:03:12.400,0:03:13.840
all right so we've got the eyes set in

0:03:13.840,0:03:15.360
here and then on top of the brain we

0:03:15.360,0:03:16.959
have these are actually connected

0:03:16.959,0:03:18.560
together but you can separate them but

0:03:18.560,0:03:20.239
it's the arteries and the mid-gut

0:03:20.239,0:03:22.720
branches and the sucking stomach so you

0:03:22.720,0:03:24.400
can see this sucking stomach and the

0:03:24.400,0:03:26.159
mid-gut branches which are like the

0:03:26.159,0:03:29.200
reddish orange color

0:03:29.200,0:03:31.200
and then the arteries are the greenish

0:03:31.200,0:03:33.840
piece

0:03:42.959,0:03:44.720
the sucking stomach we'll just put in

0:03:44.720,0:03:46.100
right through the eyes

0:03:46.100,0:03:48.959
[Music]

0:03:48.959,0:03:52.799
and attach it right on top of the brain

0:03:56.799,0:03:58.239
next we're going to do the cheliceric

0:03:58.239,0:03:59.599
kind of like the fang something that

0:03:59.599,0:04:01.040
most people are familiar with and

0:04:01.040,0:04:02.560
they're hollow and connected to the

0:04:02.560,0:04:04.239
venom gland which you can see this

0:04:04.239,0:04:06.319
purple venom gland here that goes down

0:04:06.319,0:04:09.040
into the fang

0:04:13.760,0:04:15.360
all right fangs are installed let's see

0:04:15.360,0:04:16.799
what's next so it looks like the next

0:04:16.799,0:04:18.720
piece is the silk glance which there are

0:04:18.720,0:04:22.079
two of them they go on either side

0:04:26.240,0:04:29.840
so we'll just pop those in there

0:04:32.400,0:04:34.000
all right so those are in and the next

0:04:34.000,0:04:36.240
piece we have is the sperm receptacle

0:04:36.240,0:04:38.160
and ovaries so obviously this is a

0:04:38.160,0:04:39.520
female that we're

0:04:39.520,0:04:42.520
assembling

0:04:47.370,0:04:50.490
[Music]

0:04:55.520,0:04:57.199
all right so we got that popped in there

0:04:57.199,0:05:01.040
now on top of that is the intestine

0:05:01.759,0:05:04.000
which has the gastric seca

0:05:04.000,0:05:09.479
casa ceca and the stur coral pocket

0:05:11.090,0:05:14.160
[Music]

0:05:16.730,0:05:19.819
[Music]

0:05:21.120,0:05:22.560
and then the last piece to put in there

0:05:22.560,0:05:24.720
is essentially the circulatory system

0:05:24.720,0:05:26.800
this is the the book lungs and the heart

0:05:26.800,0:05:28.479
the book lungs you can definitely see

0:05:28.479,0:05:30.320
here the heart is kind of in the middle

0:05:30.320,0:05:33.360
of this green part

0:05:33.840,0:05:38.280
all right so we got all of that together

0:05:43.840,0:05:46.840
so

0:05:52.030,0:05:55.150
[Music]

0:05:56.800,0:05:58.960
and then they have these cool little

0:05:58.960,0:06:02.479
see-through domes you can put on there

0:06:05.199,0:06:06.639
so that way you like the insides don't

0:06:06.639,0:06:09.520
come spilling out

0:06:11.120,0:06:12.720
all right so now we have a completely

0:06:12.720,0:06:14.800
assembled tarantula and there we go we

0:06:14.800,0:06:16.720
have it all together so we've got the

0:06:16.720,0:06:18.560
chalicerae or the fangs with the venom

0:06:18.560,0:06:20.960
gland we've got the pedopalps we've got

0:06:20.960,0:06:23.840
the four legs on each side the carapace

0:06:23.840,0:06:27.280
the abdomen and back here the spinnerets

0:06:27.280,0:06:28.720
and then just kind of break it down

0:06:28.720,0:06:30.240
further this part of the leg would be

0:06:30.240,0:06:32.960
the femur the patella

0:06:32.960,0:06:35.199
the tinta

0:06:35.199,0:06:37.199
the metatarsus

0:06:37.199,0:06:39.440
the tarsus then they don't really show

0:06:39.440,0:06:41.280
but at the end is the tarsus claw and on

0:06:41.280,0:06:43.319
the underside this would be the stem the

0:06:43.319,0:06:45.280
cephalo4x

0:06:45.280,0:06:46.800
the section where the legs kind of come

0:06:46.800,0:06:48.560
from is the coxa

0:06:48.560,0:06:50.160
then the book lungs

0:06:50.160,0:06:51.840
the epigenum

0:06:51.840,0:06:52.800
looks like right here with the

0:06:52.800,0:06:54.720
epigastric furrow

0:06:54.720,0:06:58.280
and then the crebellum

0:07:05.039,0:07:06.319
so if you want to learn more about

0:07:06.319,0:07:08.080
spider anatomy this is definitely a

0:07:08.080,0:07:09.599
pretty cool thing to pick up for

0:07:09.599,0:07:11.599
yourself or your kids or your grandkids

0:07:11.599,0:07:12.800
or if you're one of the people out there

0:07:12.800,0:07:14.240
that just love tarantulas but for

0:07:14.240,0:07:15.680
whatever reason you can't keep one on

0:07:15.680,0:07:17.599
your own i would definitely suggest

0:07:17.599,0:07:19.120
getting one of these it was it was fun

0:07:19.120,0:07:20.400
to put together i hope you enjoyed

0:07:20.400,0:07:21.759
watching me put it together though i'm

0:07:21.759,0:07:23.120
sure it'll be a lot more fun doing it

0:07:23.120,0:07:25.680
yourself and this is a massive tarantula

0:07:25.680,0:07:26.960
there's no tarantula i think it gets

0:07:26.960,0:07:28.800
this large but it definitely makes for a

0:07:28.800,0:07:30.639
cool little display piece as well as an

0:07:30.639,0:07:32.479
educational tool again if you if you

0:07:32.479,0:07:33.599
like this you want to get one for

0:07:33.599,0:07:35.199
yourself i will leave an affiliate link
