Bill - Oh my gosh.
Heather - Today, we are joined by Bill who is going to attempt to cup up some really tiny
tarantulas including... Bill - See that one right there?
Heather - ...including very problematic ones.
Bill - These are very flighty. They move and they're quick and they climb.
They are the Venezuelan Suntigers.
Heather - So, he's got their cute little homes.
Bill - And you can see him. He's right there.
Heather - 'Kay.
Bill - He's nice and calm right now, but we shall see how this goes.
Sometimes if I can coax them...
Put it like that so we can see.
Sometimes he'll go up into the cup or into the vial.
Heather - And then sometimes he'll run up...
Bill - ...my arm
Heather - His arm.
Bill - And sometimes they just go down.
Bill - Oh, he's moving.
Heather - (laughing) I saw that.
I think he's trying to go down. Bill - He is.
Heather - Oh, he-- oh, here he comes.
Bill - Sometimes I get lucky and I just... Heather - Did he get in there?
Bill - No.
Heather - No. Bill - He's right there.
Heather - Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh?
Bill - *gasp* No!
Heather - Yes! There he goes!
Catch him, Bill!
Bill - Okay, I'm gonna try to...
No!
Heather - Yes!
Bill - Maybe I can get him on the lid.
Heather - Whoa!
Bill - Yeah, he'll... Heather - Here he comes!
There we go. Oh, no. No.
I might've should've got a bigger vial.
Heather - You get him in? There you go. Bill - Nope, he's in there.
Heather - Oh, this is gonna be a trick and a half.
Bill - Get in there!
This is not working.
Okay, you know what? Maybe I can get him to stick on the lid.
He's like "Nope, not happening!"
See? He goes down now, and when I do this, he goes up so...
Oh my gosh...
Ope ope ope!
Heather - Oh, you got him? Bill - Nope.
Heather - Did he get out again?
Bill - Yeah, he got... he was down, and then he started climbing back up.
Heather - Oh! Bill - Now he's just gonna get more agitated.
Heather - Poor Bill.
- This takes forever.
Heather - The struggle!
Bill - I'm just gonna tell Eric not to order these no more.
*both laugh*
Bill - Ugh agh! Heather - Whoa!
There it went! Oh, it went up his hand!
Whoa! *laughs*
Bill - And they do that sometimes.
Yeah, he's like not real happy.
Heather - He didn't bite you did he?
Bill - No. If he... I don't think he would be able to. Heather - Did it tickle?
Bill - No.
Bill - *sigh* Almost!
Heather - Ohhhhhh....
Maybe if you get him on your finger, maybe.
Bill - *gasps* (whispering) Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
Heather - Did you get him?
Bill - Yes!
Bill - Tada! Heather - Yay!
*crowd cheering noises*
- Persistence.
Heather - He only ran up your hand one time.
Bill - Yeah.
Okay, there's one.
This one's the versicolor. He's right there.
Heather - And they are electric blue when they're little.
Bill - Yeah.
Now we're gonna show you how a well-behaved one acts, right?
Bill - Let's hope.
Heather - Knock on wood.
Look at that!
Bill - No! No no no!
Heather - See?
Look how well-behaved he is. Look how well behaved he is!
Now I promise you if that was a Thai Tiger
doing that, that thing would have been up... Bill - It would've been a lot quicker.
Heather - He would have been up those tweezers... up (Bill - My arm) Bill's arm, and, yeah.
I wish they could stay blue forever. They're so pretty.
He goin' crazy in there a little bit.
Bill - Go over to the other side.
Heather - Yeah, you got him I think.
Bill - Yep... Heather - He's a nice-sized one.
Bill - Yeah, that's... Heather - God, I love him!
Oh, look at you!
The camera can't catch just how beautiful blue he is
because it's like a... it's kinda like a fluorescent blue.
Oh, there you go.
So pretty!
Look. Here's what the Chacos look like.
They're very... they're very bright.
I like that. Bright with a dark abdomen.
All right, we're gonna see if we can find a a tarantula that behaves for Bill.
Apparently, the other two Caribena versicolors didn't behave at all and were running up his arms.
And these... Bill - The Chacos were good,
but these are so tiny. (Heather - Tiny.) These are the Pumpkin Patch.
Heather - Oh my god!
Bill - Do you see it?
Heather - Yes. Bill - Where? Cause I don't.
Heather - He kinda crawled...
Bill - Oh, I see it. Right there? Heather - Yeah. You see?
It looks like about as big as a little tick.
Okay, this tarantula is about as big as an ant.
An ant. I've never seen them come in that small ever.
Bill - I mean, they are a (Heather - Ever!) a smaller species, but...
Heather - That must be a spider... like fresh out of the egg sac.
That is a ant-sized thing.
Heather - There he goes. Bill - Well, I can put
him in here. Heather - I think this is officially the smallest
we've ever gotten a tarantula in. By far.
Heather - Oh! Bill - Wow!
Bill - Where is he? Oh, there he is.
Heather - I'll try to keep an eye on him.
Bill - Wow, he's quick! Heather - He got him!
I don't know... you didn't crush him did you?
Bill - No. Heather - Okay.
Heather - Oh my goodness!
He's in there.
Bill - Wow! Heather - Poor Bill can't even see him
so I have to point... I have to just assure him that he's in there.
I can see him in there.
He's in there, I promise. I saw him.
Bill - Okay.
Heather - *laughs*
Heather - Yeah, this second one... Yeah, he's just as small.
Maybe a tiny bit bigger but not by much.
Man... well, at least they're behaving pretty much. *laughs*
Yeah, you won't be able to see their true cool colors until they're bigger.
Bill's gonna show us a bigger one. Oh!
Bill - That's a big female.
So they don't get much... (Heather - Yeah.) not a bigger tarantula.
Heather - But they do look really cool with that orange and black coloration.
And the striping on them kinda makes them look like a pumpkin.
Bill - Yeah, they're pretty.
Heather - Yeah. So that's what that tiny little ant-size baby tarantula
is gonna grow into. That's their full size.
