The first in a new series of DVD's showing you how tarantula spiders live in the wild. This is a unique DVD, which contains original images of tarantula spiders in the habitats that they were found, plus oodles of field data - and a great soundtrack. We promise you - no captive spiders were used in this production!

Accompany Britain's most experienced tarantula collectors Andrew Smith and Paul Carpenter into the field, for a magical adventure scouring the hillsides of Mexico, in search of the world's most beautiful tarantulas. This DVD contains 185 breath-taking photographs of five different species of Brachypelma tarantulas, copious habitat shots and oodles of important field data concerning temperature and humidity. For the first time you can see how your Brachypelma lives in the wild and use that info. to keep them successfully in captivity! The narration is by Andrew Smith and was recorded professionally in a sound studio. All of the photographs were taken in the Sierra Madre Mountains along the Pacific coast of Mexico.

This must be one of the most exciting ideas in years - a DVD with a studio recorded soundtrack (narrated by Andrew Smith) and 185 of the most scrumptious photographs ever taken in the field of the Mexican Red Leg Brachypelma Tarantulas. The intention is to produce a new DVD each year for you to collect. We have included all of the most beautiful species - males and females - and guarantee that every one of these spider images was taken in the habitat in which the spiders were found - thus making it a unique reference work. You will get wonderful original photographs of Brachypelma smithi, emilia, klaasi, boehmei and baumgarteni - and not only spiders. Also included are rare habitat shots and important temperature and burrow data. For the first time ever, you can see how and where your spiders live in the wild and discover at what temperatures they are best kept at. Andrew Smith also takes the opportunity to sort out once and for all the conspiracy theories that have dogged baumgarteni for twenty years.  Plus you have permission to download up to 10 images - at any one time - for your own private gallery. We only ask that you to retain the security watermark and tell your friends where you got them.

We have sent out 20 DVD'S for reviews and the reviewers have loved them - so will you. Every DVD is signed by Andrew Smith to ensure that they are genuine and retain their value in the years to come. In fact we are so confident that you will ENJOY IT - we can offer a money back guarantee. Remember Andrew Smith's books (Baboon Spiders and Tarantulas of the USA & Mexico) now sell on the second hand market for $500 per copy. This DVD could turn out to be somewhat of an investment!!!

Andrew Smith (Chairman of the BTS, Research Associate of the BMNH and Fellow of the Zoological Society of London) is a world-renowned lecturer, writer and arachno-historian. For thirty years he has travelled the world in search of tarantula spiders and over that time has published three major reference works and hundreds of papers on the subject of tropical arachnids. He has lectured in Europe, America and the Far East and is renowned for his astonishing field photographs and original research material - much of which, he has gathered on his annual field trips abroad and in forays to museum archives all over the world. It is this refreshing originality that has made him a world-class lecturer of distinction.
