My first T, a curly, came to me in the terrestrial zilla enclosure, with a broken latch, so as soon as i gathered all the supplies i put her in a 10gal, which is way more space than she needs as a newly mature female but she'll be set for life in it
The Versicolor is my favorite Tarantula. Maybe one day I'll get one. It's been a long time since I've been in the hobby and I promised myself I would never get another big spider after the horrible care I gave them. The hobby wasn't the same 30 years ago. It was very basic and Pet Shoppish. I feel bad that I let so many tarantulas down because I didn't know enough to take care of them. Now I'm finding out all the information I can before I decide to buy one. I thank you, Kat (and everyone of the TH-cam influencers) with the education y'all have given me. Anyway, Happy Birthday and a Happy New Year and once again thank you!
3:50... yep, that's ALL you. I had my A. purpurea in one of those enclosures for about a year and not once did I fail to close the door properly. Excellent enclosures for the money.
I think this was the first time looking at a spider or spider like creature where in my head I thought I would like to hold that. Tarantula videos brought me back from borderline phobia to a point I could watch them but this is the first time I wanted one to touch me. BonBon is just too darn pretty to be at all scary. Honestly the aviculara was also super cute since its legs were just so long and slender
I am much too terrified to have them myself, but I am learning to appreciate them in a way I never did before because of your channel. They're fascinating. 😊
BonBon is gorgeous!! Love the fact she has been raised from a sling and she is now of an age you can look back fondly at the bond you have. My four Ts all are slings, two have moulted once, and it's just so special seeing em grow from such a young age. 🖤 Dunno if you've ever tried keeping isopods, but they can be also super special to raise. Started with a dozen or so in a large terrarium.. recently had to empty it to start afresh due to fungus gnat infestation that I couldn't get under control.. and OMG the hundreds of baby isopods I got to see during the painstaking hours of relocating them made me "AWWW SO TINY!!" countless times!
Happy Birthday!! 💖 Yeah when I got my little C. versicolor, I put them in an enclosure like that and within the hour it escaped. My daughter yelled "moooom, I think your spider is crawling on the TV!!" I had to rig the sides with cardboard. 😒 Cool new enclosure! ☺️
Your videos inspired me to purchase my first tarantula. I ordered a grammostla pulchra. He/she is coming next week. I’m a retired nurse and look forward to caring for for it. Thank you!!
Kat, I have both sizes of the Zilla enclosures. I bought a female metallic pinktoe. She was bigger than I thought she would be. Back to the store for the larger enclosure . Yes the larger is more flimsy . and I had the door ajar like you did ,but no escapes but crickets could through the gap in the bottom, so I make sure the door is closed properly . You can strengthen the cage by using aquarium sealant if you don't mind sticky fingers across all joints of the cage could help.
Kat, thank you for being a beautiful person with a beautiful heart. The love and compassion you give to your web puppies and other exotic animals is amazing. Sorry if I sound cheesy. I just really appreciate you teaching the world how to not only care but to show love for these web puppies. 😃🥰
Happy birthday, Kat! Thank for the good wishes. 2022 has been kind of a dick to us (unless you're a football fan, since our team won the World Cup) so I hope 2023 is better.
Happy birthday mine was 6 days before Christmas yours is 6 days after! 🎂🎉 The only issue I see with putting the avic in that enclosure is that they web up the top. And that's the only way to open it. So you would probably be ripping the webbing up. But it is a really cool design for spiders that use the cork bark tubes to make their homes. Happy new year to you and your family!
Lol, they gave you one of their three packs. Open the smaller cube, and there should be one even smaller in the middle! I just bought this set from them. Happy birthday! And Happy New Year!
I have a feeling there are some happy rehoused spiders, here I was like, pfft, BonBon can have any size cube she wants!! Yeah 🤣 spoil them spiders. But I'm glad that you got these great upgrades when you did. & BonBon I'm sorry you won't be able to roam the home 😂 but your new enclosure should be comfy
Your versicolor is gorgeous. Mine is also a little hottie, but a juvenile still so lots of blue still on display. Happy birthday Kat :). Thanks for all you do.
HEEEEY! ^___^ Birthday twin!!! Happy Birthday to US! Long time subscriber/lurker. Just wanna say I love your content and am super stoked to see an upload today! Great end to my day,
my h mac escaped the same way in the same enclosure!! he was gone for months and then i finallyyyy found him and he is doing great now. but yeah no.... those enclosures are a big no
I usually make my own arboreal enclosures. I use a Hobby Lobby long display case, dremel the bottom third of the lid off, tgen glue in the small part of the lid, attach the larger piece with acrylic hinges, and melt a hole on the top through the case and the lid for a nail to fit through that locks it in place. It’s been the best for me so far, and you decide pretty much everything about it as far as ventilation.
Your Caribena Versicolor Bon Bon is gorgeous. I just got my first tarantula...also a Versicolor....and it is a wonder to watch as it molts, grows, and gets faster!!! The first time mine jumped, it startled me a bit, but now I know what to expect. Bolty...but beautiful!!!
today is your birthday? MINE TOO!!! happy birthday! bonbon is gorgeous. and yeah. i dismantled my small version of the zilla arboreal after having it set for a bit while waiting for one of my jumpers to get bigger. it was just too easy to open on accident. so now the box from the bottom holds some substrate in my cricket enclosure to give them something to be on besides their eggcrate if they want and the sides might siliconed together with some led faerie lights in it or something.
Happy birthday Kat 🥳 hope you’re having a great day and getting spoiled! Loved your video! BonBon is quite the explorer 😂 bet that was fun getting her down from the ceiling 😂 I don’t blame you though for getting rid off of that enclosure, it’s pretty flimsy and not secure! I’m loving the Tarantula Crib ones, they’re far better quality and robust. I done Josie’s husbandry today too. I have her in a Exo Terra 20x20x20, that’ll do her all her days. She’s sooo laidback she’s horizontal 😂 No hair flicking at all, and I had to excavate her out from the substrate, and went into the catch cup no bother 😊😊 That was my first time doing it too! Happy New Year to you and Mr Tarantula Kat and your family. Wishing you health and happiness 🥳😘🕷️xxx
Yeah so I had my juvie Regis in one of those zillas and our area got hit with a 6.4 quake.... it is the only enclosure that went flying and broke. Granted it was easy to replace parts cause I had a second but you really don't want your Pokie running about at 3 am with the power out
Happy & Healthy New Year. 2023. New follower. I hope to show you pics of my new jumping spider this spring/summer! I caught one of your videos on accident about a month or so ago & have been intrigued & amazed with your videos & the new world of "pet" spiders ever since. Ironically enough about a year or two ago I took pictures & a video of a jumping spider on the arm of my lounge chair outside. At the time I had no idea what kind of spider it was or that down the road I'd be thinking about housing one. Thank you for the wonderful content.
Happy Birthday 🎈 Tarantula cribs is way to expensive in my opinion.. for the same amount of money i can get my exoterra glas enclosures at same sizes. glas is much better than acylic..
Happy Birthday!! I have not a Zilla enclosure but another brand that is very very similar. Yea I have problems with it also. it's a terrestrial rather than the arboreal and the top has warped and is sagging a bit. Also one of the silicone bands corroded and broke. Plus it has 2 swing latches on the top of the lid to keep it closed and on both sides the tiny plastic screw with a nut kept falling out until I super glued the nut to the threads. They still rotate to lock and unlock, but those suckers ain't coming off again anytime soon. lol. Thank you for all the great content in the last year! Happy New year!
Happy Birthday. I've been watching your video for the last few weeks, keep trying to get my daughter to like them but she hates spiders. I've been wanting a T or Jumping spider for a long time. Trouble is I have kitties that would probably want to eat them, plus its so cold where I live in winter I'd be worried I wouldn't be able to keep it warm. I do love your videos. ROSIE is beautiful 😍
Whenever I'm struggling with life in general, I always come back here to watch your videos. Sometimes I'll let them build up a little so I can binge-watch them. Your channel brings me so much comfort, and your love and excitement about arachnids is so contagious. Thank you so much for the content you create!! You really helped me through a difficult year, and I'm really grateful. I hope 2023 is everything you hope for. I can't wait to see you grow even more!!
Bonbon escapes and is like "why this tree so flat" -_-
I'm predicting the Avicularia avicularia is going to web the roof to the plant, and feeding is going to become an engineering challenge.
Happy Birthday Tarantula Kat... and thank you for hours of fun videos!
My first T, a curly, came to me in the terrestrial zilla enclosure, with a broken latch, so as soon as i gathered all the supplies i put her in a 10gal, which is way more space than she needs as a newly mature female but she'll be set for life in it
There is something oddly adorable about the way Avicularias and Caribenas move their legs when walking
The Versicolor is my favorite Tarantula. Maybe one day I'll get one.

Send it to a fan that doesn't care because we're too broke to care 😂
Happy Birthday!! 💖

Cool new enclosure! ☺️
Omg I don't know how I didn't know it was your birthday. If everybody else in the comments do but happy birthday and happy New Year!

I gotta be honest, you got me into tarantulas. I use to be afraid of arachnids but now I think they are so cute.
Omg you and my mom share the same birthday🥹 Happy Birthday❤🎉🥰
Happy late birthday! I understand the pain. Mine is 12/25.
Happy birthday, Kat! Thank for the good wishes. 2022 has been kind of a dick to us (unless you're a football fan, since our team won the World Cup) so I hope 2023 is better.

I’ll take your enclosure instead of you throwing it away!
Or, you can use some weld on 3 to weld the surfaces together making it more sturdy.
HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY KAT !!!
Happy late birthday you inspired me to start my own channel :)
Happy birthday beautiful 🎂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was just binge watching your vids and here is a brand new one. Yay!
The second one rehoused is so beautiful. Love the coloring. I've only held one tarantula before. Was a really cool experience.
Happy birthday and happy new year
