0:00:00.960,0:00:02.480
what's the rarest species in the

0:00:02.480,0:00:03.600
tarantula hobby

0:00:03.600,0:00:05.279
we're going to count down the top 10

0:00:05.279,0:00:16.800
today so stick around

0:00:16.800,0:00:18.560
welcome back to the tarantula collective

0:00:18.560,0:00:20.160
my name is richard and today we are

0:00:20.160,0:00:22.960
counting down the top 10 most expensive

0:00:22.960,0:00:24.960
or rare tarantulas in the hobby what

0:00:24.960,0:00:27.119
makes a tarantula rare or expensive

0:00:27.119,0:00:29.119
essentially is its availability to be a

0:00:29.119,0:00:30.880
very cool tarantula that

0:00:30.880,0:00:32.880
a lot of people want so the demand is

0:00:32.880,0:00:34.399
high or it could be a species

0:00:34.399,0:00:36.399
that's very new or very difficult to

0:00:36.399,0:00:38.559
breed in captivity so the supply is very

0:00:38.559,0:00:40.320
low and the rarity and prices will

0:00:40.320,0:00:42.160
depend a lot on what country you're in

0:00:42.160,0:00:43.760
but for the sake of this video i've been

0:00:43.760,0:00:45.600
looking at the prices and availability

0:00:45.600,0:00:48.000
here in the united states

0:00:48.000,0:00:49.680
so let's jump right into the list with

0:00:49.680,0:00:51.600
number 10 and that is the homo ioma

0:00:51.600,0:00:56.000
chileanus with a chilean flame dwarf

0:00:56.840,0:00:58.560
tarantula

0:00:58.560,0:01:04.479
[Music]

0:01:04.479,0:01:06.320
this new world terrestrial dwarf

0:01:06.320,0:01:07.600
tarantula comes from

0:01:07.600,0:01:09.680
chile and is a highly sought after

0:01:09.680,0:01:13.840
species in the hobby

0:01:14.560,0:01:17.280
[Music]

0:01:17.280,0:01:19.360
their rarity is due in part to their

0:01:19.360,0:01:20.400
slow growth

0:01:20.400,0:01:21.840
and the difficulty of breeding in

0:01:21.840,0:01:23.520
captivity they're not really an

0:01:23.520,0:01:25.439
expensive tarantula so much as they are

0:01:25.439,0:01:26.000
just hard

0:01:26.000,0:01:28.560
to find but when an egg sac is produced

0:01:28.560,0:01:30.400
and is out on the market this tarantula

0:01:30.400,0:01:33.040
can cost you anywhere from 65 to 100

0:01:33.040,0:01:35.920
for a spider lane

0:01:36.560,0:01:38.159
there's even people that have purchased

0:01:38.159,0:01:41.840
this spider link for much less than that

0:01:41.840,0:01:43.439
they may not be the most expensive

0:01:43.439,0:01:44.640
species out there but they can

0:01:44.640,0:01:46.479
definitely be hard to find so if you see

0:01:46.479,0:01:48.320
a dealer with some chilean flames on

0:01:48.320,0:01:49.920
sale you better take advantage of it

0:01:49.920,0:01:51.920
while you can

0:01:51.920,0:01:54.240
now number nine is a facorial old world

0:01:54.240,0:01:56.079
tarantula from thailand that's fairly

0:01:56.079,0:01:57.520
new to the hobby it's been around for a

0:01:57.520,0:01:59.439
couple of years and not too long ago the

0:01:59.439,0:02:01.119
first sack produced here in the united

0:02:01.119,0:02:01.840
states was

0:02:01.840,0:02:03.119
made available and that is the

0:02:03.119,0:02:09.840
chilebrochi species electric blue

0:02:15.290,0:02:17.040
[Music]

0:02:17.040,0:02:19.599
now this gorgeous festorial tarantula is

0:02:19.599,0:02:20.319
unique

0:02:20.319,0:02:22.400
due to the bright blue coloring on the

0:02:22.400,0:02:23.599
inside of its lakes

0:02:23.599,0:02:25.280
and though you don't see this species a

0:02:25.280,0:02:27.440
whole lot it will spend some time at the

0:02:27.440,0:02:29.200
mouth of its burrow showing off those

0:02:29.200,0:02:30.319
bright blue lakes

0:02:30.319,0:02:32.000
typically a spiderling is going to cost

0:02:32.000,0:02:33.680
you around 75

0:02:33.680,0:02:35.840
but the larger the specimen the more

0:02:35.840,0:02:37.040
expensive it's going to be

0:02:37.040,0:02:38.400
now i have a few of these in my

0:02:38.400,0:02:40.319
collection and i'm a big fan of them so

0:02:40.319,0:02:42.319
if you're into fasorial tarantulas and

0:02:42.319,0:02:43.920
you don't have this species you may want

0:02:43.920,0:02:46.530
to keep an eye out for one

0:02:46.530,0:02:48.400
[Music]

0:02:48.400,0:02:50.160
now the number eight tarantula on this

0:02:50.160,0:02:52.480
list is the syria pogopous species

0:02:52.480,0:02:55.040
valhalla

0:02:58.959,0:03:01.120
this old world tarantula is also from

0:03:01.120,0:03:03.440
thailand but it is arboreal meaning they

0:03:03.440,0:03:04.400
live in the trees

0:03:04.400,0:03:06.159
they're sporadically available here in

0:03:06.159,0:03:08.239
the us and spiderlings can cost you

0:03:08.239,0:03:10.560
anywhere from 150 to 200

0:03:10.560,0:03:12.640
apiece again these prices may vary

0:03:12.640,0:03:14.400
depending on what country you're in but

0:03:14.400,0:03:16.720
this reclusive arboreal tarantula

0:03:16.720,0:03:18.800
is very gorgeous i have a spiderling

0:03:18.800,0:03:20.159
here in my collection and i'm

0:03:20.159,0:03:22.239
very excited to watch him grow number

0:03:22.239,0:03:25.680

0:03:38.879,0:03:39.760
tarantula

0:03:39.760,0:03:41.840
obviously comes from venezuela most

0:03:41.840,0:03:44.239
species of zenethisis is gonna cost you

0:03:44.239,0:03:46.000
quite a bit it's a fairly new genus to

0:03:46.000,0:03:47.440
the hobby and they're highly sought

0:03:47.440,0:03:49.680
after both because of their large size

0:03:49.680,0:03:51.599
insane feeding response and the

0:03:51.599,0:03:53.680
beautiful colors the males get when they

0:03:53.680,0:03:55.120
mature here in the united states

0:03:55.120,0:03:58.159
spiderling is gonna cost you about 175

0:03:58.159,0:04:00.000
but i've seen him go for even more and

0:04:00.000,0:04:01.439
though i'm focusing just on the

0:04:01.439,0:04:02.159
intermediate

0:04:02.159,0:04:03.360
there are a lot of others and

0:04:03.360,0:04:05.200
netherlands species that are going to be

0:04:05.200,0:04:08.000
just as much number six is the by rupees

0:04:16.959,0:04:19.440
also known as the bornean neon blue leg

0:04:19.440,0:04:21.759
tarantula this fossorial species can be

0:04:21.759,0:04:23.680
found in the forests of borneo there is

0:04:23.680,0:04:25.600
some controversy surrounding how this

0:04:25.600,0:04:27.120
species was discovered

0:04:27.120,0:04:29.040
studied and eventually introduced into

0:04:29.040,0:04:30.720
the hobby as the malaysian government

0:04:30.720,0:04:32.639
claims that no permits allowing their

0:04:32.639,0:04:34.240
export from the country were ever

0:04:34.240,0:04:34.880
awarded

0:04:34.880,0:04:36.960
despite that black staying this species

0:04:36.960,0:04:38.720
has captured the attention of scientists

0:04:38.720,0:04:40.160
and hobbyists alike with their

0:04:40.160,0:04:42.240
cream-colored body and neon blue legs

0:04:42.240,0:04:43.440
this species has become

0:04:43.440,0:04:45.440
very popular and highly sought after

0:04:45.440,0:04:47.280
though more spiderlings are available

0:04:47.280,0:04:49.120
every week it seems they can still be a

0:04:49.120,0:04:51.280
species that's hard to find and when you

0:04:51.280,0:04:51.680
do

0:04:51.680,0:04:53.680
they can cost you hundreds of dollars

0:04:53.680,0:04:55.759
this species is one a lot of you got

0:04:55.759,0:04:57.199
upset that i left off

0:04:57.199,0:04:59.520
my last rarish tarantula video and

0:04:59.520,0:05:02.560
coming in between 200 to 250 dollars per

0:05:02.560,0:05:04.639
spiderling this is definitely one of the

0:05:04.639,0:05:06.880
rare species of the year now number five

0:05:06.880,0:05:08.479
is a tarantula that definitely was on

0:05:08.479,0:05:10.800
the list last time but it's just as rare

0:05:10.800,0:05:11.280
today

0:05:11.280,0:05:13.039
as it was back then and that is the

0:05:13.039,0:05:14.639
efonipelma moire

0:05:14.639,0:05:25.840
or the mexican jade fuego tarantula

0:05:26.560,0:05:28.800
this species was named after one of the

0:05:28.800,0:05:30.960
co-founders of the american tarantula

0:05:30.960,0:05:31.680
society

0:05:31.680,0:05:33.520
and her name is barbara moore the

0:05:33.520,0:05:35.840
efonipel memoire comes from the mexican

0:05:35.840,0:05:37.039
state of sonora

0:05:37.039,0:05:39.120
and has the appearance of a woolly green

0:05:39.120,0:05:41.360
bottle blue tarantula but with a thicker

0:05:41.360,0:05:42.639
body and legs

0:05:42.639,0:05:44.320
most of the species available not just

0:05:44.320,0:05:45.919
here in the united states but in other

0:05:45.919,0:05:46.960
countries as well

0:05:46.960,0:05:49.360
are just spiderlings afauna pellets are

0:05:49.360,0:05:51.680
notoriously slow growing so even though

0:05:51.680,0:05:53.360
there are a lot of pictures out there

0:05:53.360,0:05:55.600
of the more in the wild or ones that

0:05:55.600,0:05:57.600
have been captured and used for breeding

0:05:57.600,0:05:59.360
there are not many people out there with

0:05:59.360,0:06:01.360
full-grown mexican jade fuegos in their

0:06:01.360,0:06:02.960
collection i couldn't currently

0:06:02.960,0:06:04.960
find any for sale right now through your

0:06:04.960,0:06:06.800
major dealers but you may be able to

0:06:06.800,0:06:08.639
find someone selling theirs from their

0:06:08.639,0:06:10.160
personal collection but when they

0:06:10.160,0:06:12.240
are available for sale this species can

0:06:12.240,0:06:14.319
cost you anywhere between 250

0:06:14.319,0:06:17.199
to 300 for a small spider length number

0:06:17.199,0:06:17.600
four

0:06:17.600,0:06:19.680
is one of my personal favorite spiders

0:06:19.680,0:06:21.440
and it also made the list of rare

0:06:21.440,0:06:23.520
tarantulas last time i made a video like

0:06:23.520,0:06:23.840
this

0:06:23.840,0:06:25.919
and that is the thera-fosinized species

0:06:25.919,0:06:29.010
panama more commonly known as the lava

0:06:29.010,0:06:32.840

0:06:35.180,0:06:39.600
[Music]

0:06:39.840,0:06:42.160
this new world terrestrial tarantula is

0:06:42.160,0:06:44.000
a dwarf species from panama

0:06:44.000,0:06:46.560
famous for its bright red and deep black

0:06:46.560,0:06:47.280
coloration

0:06:47.280,0:06:49.520
and very cool tiger stripe pattern on

0:06:49.520,0:06:51.599
the abdomen this unique specimen

0:06:51.599,0:06:53.520
is as rare today as it was a couple

0:06:53.520,0:06:55.360
years ago even with a lot of captive

0:06:55.360,0:06:56.319
breeding going on

0:06:56.319,0:06:58.319
here in the united states it seems as

0:06:58.319,0:07:00.000
soon as an egg sac is produced

0:07:00.000,0:07:02.160
and the slings are posted for sale they

0:07:02.160,0:07:04.510
sell out within a week or two

0:07:04.510,0:07:11.440
[Music]

0:07:11.440,0:07:13.440
which is impressive because a spiderling

0:07:13.440,0:07:15.360
can cost you anywhere from 200

0:07:15.360,0:07:18.639
to 450 a piece really just depends on

0:07:18.639,0:07:20.560
the supply and demand at that moment so

0:07:20.560,0:07:22.639
again this is another species if you see

0:07:22.639,0:07:24.479
for sale and you've got the extra cash

0:07:24.479,0:07:26.240
you may want to jump on the opportunity

0:07:26.240,0:07:27.840
while you have it now number three is a

0:07:27.840,0:07:29.599
species that i've never even seen in

0:07:29.599,0:07:30.000
person

0:07:30.000,0:07:31.759
though i do know that there have been a

0:07:31.759,0:07:33.840
few sold here in the united states it

0:07:33.840,0:07:35.840
seems when the species is imported into

0:07:35.840,0:07:36.880
the country there are

0:07:36.880,0:07:38.960
very limited number available so i

0:07:38.960,0:07:39.919
assume that that's

0:07:39.919,0:07:41.840
probably the same no matter what country

0:07:41.840,0:07:43.680
you're in and that is the ornithoctin in

0:07:43.680,0:07:44.560
a species

0:07:44.560,0:07:46.720
honsesh i don't quote me on that

0:07:46.720,0:07:48.479
pronunciation because i have no idea if

0:07:48.479,0:07:59.840
it's anywhere close

0:08:00.879,0:08:02.800
but the common name is much easier which

0:08:02.800,0:08:04.960
is the honsej orange earth tiger

0:08:04.960,0:08:06.960
tarantula now this old world species

0:08:06.960,0:08:08.160
comes from vietnam

0:08:08.160,0:08:10.319
and was introduced into the u.s in very

0:08:10.319,0:08:11.360
limited quantities

0:08:11.360,0:08:12.960
they are very difficult to come across

0:08:12.960,0:08:14.720
due to the low number available and the

0:08:14.720,0:08:16.400
high demand this gorgeous

0:08:16.400,0:08:18.400
asian facorial tarantula is highly

0:08:18.400,0:08:20.160
sought after for its unique gold and

0:08:20.160,0:08:21.120
blue coloration

0:08:21.120,0:08:24.840
and would easily be a jewel in anyone's

0:08:35.680,0:08:37.519
number two isn't so much an expensive

0:08:37.519,0:08:39.360
tarantula as it is just one that's very

0:08:39.360,0:08:41.440
hard to come by i found a few videos on

0:08:41.440,0:08:42.000
youtube

0:08:42.000,0:08:43.599
of people here in the united states that

0:08:43.599,0:08:45.440
had them but finding one for sale seems

0:08:45.440,0:08:47.200
to be extremely difficult and that

0:08:47.200,0:08:47.839
species

0:08:47.839,0:08:55.839
is the theraposine species colombia

0:08:56.150,0:09:06.720
[Music]

0:09:06.720,0:09:08.880
hit

0:09:14.320,0:09:16.720
i was able to find one adult female that

0:09:16.720,0:09:18.560
was available for sale for eleven

0:09:18.560,0:09:19.440
hundred dollars

0:09:19.440,0:09:21.200
and mentions of spiderlings that were

0:09:21.200,0:09:22.640
available years ago

0:09:22.640,0:09:26.160
ranging anywhere from 50 to 400 apiece

0:09:26.160,0:09:28.480
so nailing down the price at this point

0:09:28.480,0:09:30.160
is very difficult this tarantula is

0:09:30.160,0:09:31.839
commonly known as the colombian

0:09:31.839,0:09:34.160
bumblebee dwarf tarantula obviously from

0:09:34.160,0:09:36.240
columbia and has a similar look to the

0:09:36.240,0:09:37.920
green bottle blue spider links

0:09:37.920,0:09:40.000
but mostly their colors are just black

0:09:40.000,0:09:41.440
and gold and i guarantee

0:09:41.440,0:09:43.120
if i can ever find this species

0:09:43.120,0:09:44.959
available for sale i'm gonna pick one up

0:09:44.959,0:09:45.519
myself

0:09:45.519,0:09:47.839
now number one is a species of tarantula

0:09:47.839,0:09:49.680
that a lot of you were very upset i

0:09:49.680,0:09:50.000
didn't

0:09:50.000,0:09:52.000
include in my last rare and expensive

0:09:52.000,0:09:53.519
tarantula video and there were many

0:09:53.519,0:09:54.320
reasons for that

0:09:54.320,0:09:55.839
mainly i just didn't have any footage of

0:09:55.839,0:09:58.000
one but also the legal status of this

0:09:58.000,0:09:59.120
species seems to

0:09:59.120,0:10:00.320
kind of be up in the air and for the

0:10:00.320,0:10:02.560
most part it still kinda is but they are

0:10:02.560,0:10:03.519
highly available

0:10:03.519,0:10:04.959
around the world and there are a lot of

0:10:04.959,0:10:06.720
people in the u.s that have them already

0:10:06.720,0:10:08.560
so the number one most rare and

0:10:08.560,0:10:10.399
expensive tarantula is the type of

0:10:10.399,0:10:14.959
chelana celedonia with a brazilian jewel

0:10:16.839,0:10:19.839
tarantula

0:10:21.200,0:10:23.279
this species can cost you anywhere from

0:10:23.279,0:10:25.680
450 to 650

0:10:25.680,0:10:27.440
for a spiderling here in the united

0:10:27.440,0:10:29.519
states that is if you can even find

0:10:29.519,0:10:31.440
anyone selling them in addition to being

0:10:31.440,0:10:33.360
called a brazilian jewel tarantula you

0:10:33.360,0:10:35.519
can also find them referred to as candy

0:10:35.519,0:10:36.399
shop spiders

0:10:36.399,0:10:39.040
and jeweled pink toes this new world

0:10:39.040,0:10:40.240
arboreal dwarf

0:10:40.240,0:10:43.519
trapdoor spider is very elusive but also

0:10:43.519,0:10:44.480
very beautiful

0:10:44.480,0:10:46.160
they're native to brazil and spend the

0:10:46.160,0:10:48.000
majority of their time hidden behind

0:10:48.000,0:10:48.959
their trap door

0:10:48.959,0:10:51.040
in their web tunnel up off the ground

0:10:51.040,0:10:52.399
being a dwarf species

0:10:52.399,0:10:54.800
they don't get very large at all in fact

0:10:54.800,0:10:56.800
most don't get over two inches in leg

0:10:56.800,0:10:57.360
span

0:10:57.360,0:10:59.040
for the most part they're a docile

0:10:59.040,0:11:01.360
species but they can be quick to flee or

0:11:01.360,0:11:01.839
even

0:11:01.839,0:11:04.000
jump to escape any perceived danger and

0:11:04.000,0:11:05.680
while filming this little sling

0:11:05.680,0:11:07.279
it was quick to give me a tiny little

0:11:07.279,0:11:09.279
threat pose this species is very

0:11:09.279,0:11:11.040
expensive in most countries and even

0:11:11.040,0:11:12.880
entangled in some legal battles here in

0:11:12.880,0:11:14.399
the united states they're also

0:11:14.399,0:11:16.399
very fragile when they're young and can

0:11:16.399,0:11:18.560
easily die if not kept correctly all

0:11:18.560,0:11:20.320
which plays into the fact that they are

0:11:20.320,0:11:21.200
still considered

0:11:21.200,0:11:23.440
very rare without a doubt this is one of

0:11:23.440,0:11:25.360

0:11:25.360,0:11:27.200
