Big Hercules Baboon Spider will scare you at night (Hysterocrates hercules) [Inferion7]

This is my 50th video on youtube, thank you all for supporting me. Hysterocrates hercules 1899 (Pocock) Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Arachnida Order: Araneae Family: Theraphosidae Subfamily: Eumenophorinae Genus: Hysterocrates This is my adult female African Hercules Baboon Spider (Hysterocrates hercules). She is pretty big as you can see in the video (leg span up to 15 cm and BL 6 cm). She usually shows up at night so I decided to film her. Almost every tarantula shows up at night (from 23:00 - 02:00). You can see that she fell down but nothing happened. She ate 2 mice within 2 years, plenty of grasshoppers and plenty of worms, crickets and some pinky mice. She has never eaten a cockroach and that’s strange, once she also ate 3 worms at the same time, that was also mad. Handling this one would be risky, she gets angry very easily and once she bit my bed sheet several times. She has very long fangs and biting would be painful.
