Monstrous tarantulas in a Colombian jungle

Searching for tarantulas, Xenesthis cf. montrosa, at night in the coastal mountains of western Colombia.

Corrections / additional comments:
1:05 - Just the prosoma for the females of this species.
2:06 - Bothrops asper prey on fish as well.
4:59 - Major error here. This is not a Xenesthis at all, but rather a juvenile Phamphobeteus. How ironic.
5:13 - Or rather prefers to live in vegetation one or two meters off the ground.
9:13 - Edited such that it looks easier than it actually was.
