Megatron (Goliath Birdeater)

This is a very short video of me handling Callisto, my Goliath birdeating tarantula. I'll make more in the future; this was just to get a feel for her (hence the silver tool). I just got her on Tuesday, and from the looks of it she's less than halfway done growing, which is awesome sauce.

In regards to her behavior, so far she's been rather docile and sweet for the most part. She loves to jump at the edge of her enclosure each time I put the lid back on (and she's fast as fuck when she wants to be), but other than that she's not mean or nasty like others might tell you about this species. No threat poses or hair flicking thus far.

She eats like a monster too, and I'll try to capture that on video at some point too. The other day she had about six crickets in her mouth at the same time. Hungry little girl, she is.
