If you ahve a look on the goodies or e store Andy Smith has done 2, if you try to contact some of the Germans Michael Lang has done an EXCELENT one of Xenesthis, Megaphobema and a couple of other sp from Coloumbia................its in German and you will get to love Carlos Santana LOL

There is a really good one on Tarantulas in the "Giants" series where John Hancock was the principal advisor.

Try contacting Phil and Tracey from the Tarantula Store, we tried to get something like this together a few years back, they might still have some.

On the National geographic on demand channel they have a program called Webs & fangs. It's pretty good.
Also I know Buggin with Ruud did some pretty episodes on T's and spiders in general.

I bought the two Andy Smith videos via an advert on the for sale section on t-store a couple of weeks ago

Haven't seen the German one though, sounds interesting (and I wouldn't complain about the Santana music either ).

I have a few that you should seek out but bear in mind Ive been collecting all things spidery for 30 years ( man and boy) and some you just wont find.

Try scouring Charity shops, you will be surprised what people give away.



The following are on VHS with some on DVD (try Google)

Desert Tarantulas by Fitzgerald Publishing
Tarantulas of Borneo by Fitzgerald
Giant Tarantula: Part of the Predator series :Time Life
Keeping Tarantulas, set up and care: Bryant Capiz
Come into my Parlour: National Geopgraphic.
Vogelspinnen und Scorpione:Basserman
Killer Instinct: Rob Bredl

The following have extracts about tarantulas but are in the main wildlife documentaries:

The Sexual Imperative
Hunters in the wild
Microcosmos:www.fox.co
Beetles and Spiders:www.deltamusic.co.uk

There are also a number of cheep but amusing DVDs of films such as
Spiders
Spiders 2
Giant Tarantula
Attack of the Killer Spiders
Kingdom of the Spiders ( with a very young William Shatner)
Aracnid

Hope this helps

There was a lot of spider documentaries on nay.geo.wild this afternoon - the one about the "samurai" fighting spiders of Japan was fascinating! The programmes are bound to be repeated,as everything on sky is!
