00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:02.480
what's the rarest species in the

00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:03.600
tarantula hobby

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:05.279
we're going to count down the top 10

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:16.800
today so stick around

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.560
welcome back to the tarantula collective

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:20.160
my name is richard and today we are

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.960
counting down the top 10 most expensive

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:24.960
or rare tarantulas in the hobby what

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.119
makes a tarantula rare or expensive

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:29.119
essentially is its availability to be a

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:30.880
very cool tarantula that

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:32.880
a lot of people want so the demand is

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.399
high or it could be a species

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.399
that's very new or very difficult to

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.559
breed in captivity so the supply is very

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:40.320
low and the rarity and prices will

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.160
depend a lot on what country you're in

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:43.760
but for the sake of this video i've been

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:45.600
looking at the prices and availability

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.000
here in the united states

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.680
so let's jump right into the list with

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:51.600
number 10 and that is the homo ioma

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.000
chileanus with a chilean flame dwarf

00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:58.560
tarantula

00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:04.479
[Music]

00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:06.320
this new world terrestrial dwarf

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:07.600
tarantula comes from

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:09.680
chile and is a highly sought after

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.840
species in the hobby

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.280
[Music]

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.360
their rarity is due in part to their

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:20.400
slow growth

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:21.840
and the difficulty of breeding in

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.520
captivity they're not really an

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:25.439
expensive tarantula so much as they are

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:26.000
just hard

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.560
to find but when an egg sac is produced

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.400
and is out on the market this tarantula

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.040
can cost you anywhere from 65 to 100

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.920
for a spider lane

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.159
there's even people that have purchased

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.840
this spider link for much less than that

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:43.439
they may not be the most expensive

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:44.640
species out there but they can

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.479
definitely be hard to find so if you see

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:48.320
a dealer with some chilean flames on

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:49.920
sale you better take advantage of it

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:51.920
while you can

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.240
now number nine is a facorial old world

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:56.079
tarantula from thailand that's fairly

00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:57.520
new to the hobby it's been around for a

00:01:57.520 --> 00:01:59.439
couple of years and not too long ago the

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.119
first sack produced here in the united

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:01.840
states was

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.119
made available and that is the

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:09.840
chilebrochi species electric blue

00:02:15.290 --> 00:02:17.040
[Music]

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:19.599
now this gorgeous festorial tarantula is

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:20.319
unique

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.400
due to the bright blue coloring on the

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:23.599
inside of its lakes

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.280
and though you don't see this species a

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.440
whole lot it will spend some time at the

00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:29.200
mouth of its burrow showing off those

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:30.319
bright blue lakes

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.000
typically a spiderling is going to cost

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.680
you around 75

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.840
but the larger the specimen the more

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:37.040
expensive it's going to be

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:38.400
now i have a few of these in my

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.319
collection and i'm a big fan of them so

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.319
if you're into fasorial tarantulas and

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:43.920
you don't have this species you may want

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:46.530
to keep an eye out for one

00:02:46.530 --> 00:02:48.400
[Music]

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.160
now the number eight tarantula on this

00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:52.480
list is the syria pogopous species

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:55.040
valhalla

00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:01.120
this old world tarantula is also from

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.440
thailand but it is arboreal meaning they

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:04.400
live in the trees

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.159
they're sporadically available here in

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.239
the us and spiderlings can cost you

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:10.560
anywhere from 150 to 200

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.640
apiece again these prices may vary

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:14.400
depending on what country you're in but

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.720
this reclusive arboreal tarantula

00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:18.800
is very gorgeous i have a spiderling

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.159
here in my collection and i'm

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.239
very excited to watch him grow number

00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:25.680
seven is the zenethisis

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.840
intermediate

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.120
commonly known as the venezuelan blue

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:38.879
bloom this new world terrestrial

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:39.760
tarantula

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:41.840
obviously comes from venezuela most

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.239
species of zenethisis is gonna cost you

00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:46.000
quite a bit it's a fairly new genus to

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.440
the hobby and they're highly sought

00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:49.680
after both because of their large size

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.599
insane feeding response and the

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.680
beautiful colors the males get when they

00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.120
mature here in the united states

00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.159
spiderling is gonna cost you about 175

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.000
but i've seen him go for even more and

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.439
though i'm focusing just on the

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:02.159
intermediate

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.360
there are a lot of others and

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.200
netherlands species that are going to be

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:08.000
just as much number six is the by rupees

also known as the bornean neon blue leg

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:21.759
tarantula this fossorial species can be

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.680
found in the forests of borneo there is

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.600
some controversy surrounding how this

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.120
species was discovered

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.040
studied and eventually introduced into

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.720
the hobby as the malaysian government

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.639
claims that no permits allowing their

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.240
export from the country were ever

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:34.880
awarded

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:36.960
despite that black staying this species

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:38.720
has captured the attention of scientists

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.160
and hobbyists alike with their

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.240
cream-colored body and neon blue legs

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.440
this species has become

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:45.440
very popular and highly sought after

00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:47.280
though more spiderlings are available

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:49.120
every week it seems they can still be a

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.280
species that's hard to find and when you

00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:51.680
do

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.680
they can cost you hundreds of dollars

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:55.759
this species is one a lot of you got

00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:57.199
upset that i left off

00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.520
my last rarish tarantula video and

00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:02.560
coming in between 200 to 250 dollars per

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.639
spiderling this is definitely one of the

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.880
rare species of the year now number five

00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:08.479
is a tarantula that definitely was on

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:10.800
the list last time but it's just as rare

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:11.280
today

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:13.039
as it was back then and that is the

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:14.639
efonipelma moire

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:25.840
or the mexican jade fuego tarantula

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.800
this species was named after one of the

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.960
co-founders of the american tarantula

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:31.680
society

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.520
and her name is barbara moore the

00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:35.840
efonipel memoire comes from the mexican

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:37.039
state of sonora

00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:39.120
and has the appearance of a woolly green

00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.360
bottle blue tarantula but with a thicker

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:42.639
body and legs

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.320
most of the species available not just

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:45.919
here in the united states but in other

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:46.960
countries as well

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:49.360
are just spiderlings afauna pellets are

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.680
notoriously slow growing so even though

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.360
there are a lot of pictures out there

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.600
of the more in the wild or ones that

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.600
have been captured and used for breeding

00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.360
there are not many people out there with

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.360
full-grown mexican jade fuegos in their

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.960
collection i couldn't currently

00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:04.960
find any for sale right now through your

00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:06.800
major dealers but you may be able to

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:08.639
find someone selling theirs from their

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.160
personal collection but when they

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.240
are available for sale this species can

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.319
cost you anywhere between 250

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.199
to 300 for a small spider length number

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:17.600
four

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.680
is one of my personal favorite spiders

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.440
and it also made the list of rare

00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:23.520
tarantulas last time i made a video like

00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:23.840
this

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:25.919
and that is the thera-fosinized species

00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:29.010
panama more commonly known as the lava

00:06:29.010 --> 00:06:32.840

00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:39.600
[Music]

00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:42.160
this new world terrestrial tarantula is

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.000
a dwarf species from panama

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.560
famous for its bright red and deep black

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:47.280
coloration

00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:49.520
and very cool tiger stripe pattern on

00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:51.599
the abdomen this unique specimen

00:06:51.599 --> 00:06:53.520
is as rare today as it was a couple

00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:55.360
years ago even with a lot of captive

00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:56.319
breeding going on

00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.319
here in the united states it seems as

00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.000
soon as an egg sac is produced

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.160
and the slings are posted for sale they

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.510
sell out within a week or two

00:07:04.510 --> 00:07:11.440
[Music]

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:13.440
which is impressive because a spiderling

00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:15.360
can cost you anywhere from 200

00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.639
to 450 a piece really just depends on

00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.560
the supply and demand at that moment so

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.639
again this is another species if you see

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.479
for sale and you've got the extra cash

00:07:24.479 --> 00:07:26.240
you may want to jump on the opportunity

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:27.840
while you have it now number three is a

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:29.599
species that i've never even seen in

00:07:29.599 --> 00:07:30.000
person

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.759
though i do know that there have been a

00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:33.840
few sold here in the united states it

00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:35.840
seems when the species is imported into

00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:36.880
the country there are

00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:38.960
very limited number available so i

00:07:38.960 --> 00:07:39.919
assume that that's

00:07:39.919 --> 00:07:41.840
probably the same no matter what country

00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:43.680
you're in and that is the ornithoctin in

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:44.560
a species

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.720
honsesh i don't quote me on that

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.479
pronunciation because i have no idea if

00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:59.840
it's anywhere close

00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.800
but the common name is much easier which

00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.960
is the honsej orange earth tiger

00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:06.960
tarantula now this old world species

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:08.160
comes from vietnam

00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.319
and was introduced into the u.s in very

00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:11.360
limited quantities

00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:12.960
they are very difficult to come across

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:14.720
due to the low number available and the

00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.400
high demand this gorgeous

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:18.400
asian facorial tarantula is highly

00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:20.160
sought after for its unique gold and

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:21.120
blue coloration

00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.840
and would easily be a jewel in anyone's

00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:27.840
collection

00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:37.519
number two isn't so much an expensive

00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.360
tarantula as it is just one that's very

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.440
hard to come by i found a few videos on

00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:42.000
youtube

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.599
of people here in the united states that

00:08:43.599 --> 00:08:45.440
had them but finding one for sale seems

00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.200
to be extremely difficult and that

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:47.839
species

00:08:47.839 --> 00:08:55.839
is the theraposine species colombia

00:08:56.150 --> 00:09:06.720
[Music]

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.880
hit

00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.720
i was able to find one adult female that

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.560
was available for sale for eleven

00:09:18.560 --> 00:09:19.440
hundred dollars

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.200
and mentions of spiderlings that were

00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:22.640
available years ago

00:09:22.640 --> 00:09:26.160
ranging anywhere from 50 to 400 apiece

00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:28.480
so nailing down the price at this point

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.160
is very difficult this tarantula is

00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:31.839
commonly known as the colombian

00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:34.160
bumblebee dwarf tarantula obviously from

00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:36.240
columbia and has a similar look to the

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:37.920
green bottle blue spider links

00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:40.000
but mostly their colors are just black

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.440
and gold and i guarantee

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.120
if i can ever find this species

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.959
available for sale i'm gonna pick one up

00:09:44.959 --> 00:09:45.519
myself

00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.839
now number one is a species of tarantula

00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:49.680
that a lot of you were very upset i

00:09:49.680 --> 00:09:50.000
didn't

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.000
include in my last rare and expensive

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:53.519
tarantula video and there were many

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:54.320
reasons for that

00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:55.839
mainly i just didn't have any footage of

00:09:55.839 --> 00:09:58.000
one but also the legal status of this

00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.120
species seems to

00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:00.320
kind of be up in the air and for the

00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.560
most part it still kinda is but they are

00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:03.519
highly available

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:04.959
around the world and there are a lot of

00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:06.720
people in the u.s that have them already

00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:08.560
so the number one most rare and

00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:10.399
expensive tarantula is the type of

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:14.959
chelana celedonia with a brazilian jewel

00:10:16.839 --> 00:10:19.839
tarantula

00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.279
this species can cost you anywhere from

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.680
450 to 650

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:27.440
for a spiderling here in the united

00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.519
states that is if you can even find

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.440
anyone selling them in addition to being

00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.360
called a brazilian jewel tarantula you

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.519
can also find them referred to as candy

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:36.399
shop spiders

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.040
and jeweled pink toes this new world

00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:40.240
arboreal dwarf

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.519
trapdoor spider is very elusive but also

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.480
very beautiful

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.160
they're native to brazil and spend the

00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:48.000
majority of their time hidden behind

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:48.959
their trap door

00:10:48.959 --> 00:10:51.040
in their web tunnel up off the ground

00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:52.399
being a dwarf species

00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.800
they don't get very large at all in fact

00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:56.800
most don't get over two inches in leg

00:10:56.800 --> 00:10:57.360
span

00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.040
for the most part they're a docile

00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:01.360
species but they can be quick to flee or

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:01.839
even

00:11:01.839 --> 00:11:04.000
jump to escape any perceived danger and

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:05.680
while filming this little sling

00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:07.279
it was quick to give me a tiny little

00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.279
threat pose this species is very

00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.040
expensive in most countries and even

00:11:11.040 --> 00:11:12.880
entangled in some legal battles here in

00:11:12.880 --> 00:11:14.399
the united states they're also

00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.399
very fragile when they're young and can

00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.560
easily die if not kept correctly all

00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:20.320
which plays into the fact that they are

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:21.200
still considered

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.440
very rare without a doubt this is one of

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:25.360
the most iridescent and colorful

00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.200
