I get nervous every time one of our Ts molt. Our Smithi didn't eat for 7 months and then molted a week later. When she finally ate, we were the ones doing a happy dance.
I used to be a huge arachniphobe but I've been watching your videos for a bit now. I live outside the city of Phoenix, AZ and have tons of tarantula wondering around. I've discovered that the males are the only ones that come up on my patio at night and decide my feet are great to cuddle with. I feel I've come a long way over 13 years that I can save them from the pool without freezing up. Your videos sure help a lot
My Aphonopelma seemanni Just molted 2 days ago. Before she molted she was a pretty brown with gray and after the molt she is black/blue and absolutely beautiful

So this dropped yesterday, but I decided to save it for today and o'boy, am I glad I did. What a better way to start a day than this? She's so gorgeous. Stay safe and take care👍
Dear T Kat, I want to say how much I appreciate you and your knowledge for arachnids. With your information I am now able to not only get my brachy smithi to live but now she’s thriving bc of the better care I am able to provide with your videos. You have inspired me to be a better spider mom and I just wanted to say thank you for everything 🕷❣️
I saw a Snake Discovery video featuring a bearded dragon breeder ages ago and he recommended mixing cilantro or bee pollen into their greens if they aren't showing much interest in them (something about the scent makes the greens more appetizing to bearded dragons apparently), in case that helps.
Hi Kat!! I never thought I would own a tarantula and it has never crossed my mind. A couple months ago I very randomly stumbled across your video of you losing your T to impaction. For some reason I couldn't stop watching and it made me so sad. After that I started researching and now own a B. Hamorii named Mango.
Omgosh she is absolutely gorgeous Kat💞💞. You are blessed to have her😁. The very first T I ordered was supposed to have been a B Smithi but she is a B Boehmei instead but I love her just the same. The place I ordered her from refused to even reply back 🙄. Great video I loved it!!! If you use desert blend you can use a pooper scooper on Tut's poop. Keeps the enclosure cleaner. Tyfs God bless you
Aw, what a pretty girl! Stunning. Cool that she directly had those bright colors. When I read the title I thought something went wrong, but I am glad it didn't. The design of the spider with the witchy hat and cristals totally fits this channel. It was funny that you watched Reptiliatus while waiting, didn't you?
So pleased she molted OK. For the last 2 weeks I've had a tarantula delivered on the Tuesday, molted when I check on it Thursday morning. Last week was an Aphonopelma seemani, then this morning my Tliltocatl kahlenbergi had molted overnight within 2 days of taking delivery. Just wish my Grammostola pulchra would get hers done, she seems to have been in pre-molt for ages now!
I got 4 Ts and always nervous about them molting and like you said: waiting is the hardest part! I‘m relieved everytime it goes around without problems. Glad your Smithi is fine ❤️
I’ve always been terrified of spiders since I had a bad bite from a common spider when I was 10 and I’m 43. But it was traumatic. However I think they are gorgeous creatures and so fascinating. So I’m getting over my fear with your videos and how informative you are. Thanks Kat. This made me miss my bearded dragon Zeus so much. He has a good home now though. We couldn’t keep him where we live.
I'm so glad I watched this. I'm new to the hobby and mine has been on its back for about 4 or 5 hours with no movement and I was starting to freak. Thank you so much
So beautiful! My G.Pulchra sling molted a few days ago and I couldn't get the molt out right away for the same reason. I actually saw him/her grasping onto it so I figured it was just getting the remaining moisture as well. Super cool!
Love all your videos really enjoyed this one actually chilled me out, great vibes great content even loved the music and such a joy to see her doing so good and looking fantastic good job huni and thank you 🐛🕷️🕸️🌞❤
I'm vicariously watching through you. I'm glad your spider had a successful moly. I didn't know that spiders molt. But I could never have a spider as a pet as I suffer from arachnodphobia. I may get therapy to address it. I know were the fear. Comes from. My sister use to chase me around the house with a spider on the end of the broom. I really like your feeding videos and you have a large variety of pets. I'm not affraid of reptiles. I don't know if your videos are desentatizing me but I have subscribed. I look forward to seeing what's in store for the spiders. I particularly like it when the spiders splash near their water bowls. I imagine they're wanting you to fill it up quickly so they can splash around like a toddler.
Im glad your smithi moulted ok orange Brachys alwys look amazing just after they moult. I had a horrible day today I let one of my Harpactira namaquensis spiderlets escape while I was filling its water and spent ages searching for it and couldnt find it and eventually had to give up and I felt so bad bcus it was completely my mistake and now little spider will die and then like 4 hours later I went to put my trainers on bcus I was going out and my spiderlet was hiding under one of them omg I was so relieved. but even so I was lucky because I walked past where it was hidden so many times and couldve easily have stepped on it and even if Id picked my trainers up differently it could have got squished but anyway its fine I guess but I will be so much more careful in future
Moults are the most exciting as well as a stressful time for me. I pulled a moult early once to verify gender and the T didn't do so well and I had to ICU him for 24 hours. Now I always leave the moults until the T leaves it alone. They do seem to chew them up. .
I was just starting up TH-cam because my LP was doing the exact same thing and i was starting to get concerned as well. Now i will just be a little more patient and chilled
Holy cow, she looks amazing! On an unrelated note, a tip to keep the plastic cutting board from slipping all over the place: put it on a silicone placemat like those they sell for kids on Amazon. Maybe it's not an issue for you but I hate when they do that and this is the best solution I came up with so far
A silicon mat is a good idea. 👍🏻 I have a mixing bowl with silicone on the bottom- it's one of my favourites because it stays in place when stirring. For under a cutting board, though, I just use a damp washcloth. It holds the cutting board in place, then I use it to wipe down the counter when I'm done. Works for my other mixing bowls, too. 😊
@@dorabrooks76 Yes, I guess a damp cloth would work in most circumstances. I have a super slippery wooden counter so the only thing that keeps the cutting board in place for me is the silicone mat
I love you’re videos. I am a new subscriber I’ve been subscribed for almost 2 months now and you have a really nice personality and always informative on things 🕷🕸
Loved this video. Your Brachypelma smithi is beautiful. How often does she molt? It takes such effort on her part and looks very difficult to go through.
I may have missed it but when you do a water change how much water do you actually change out because I read somewhere not to take ALL the water out for reasons and I wanted to get your opinion - of course it's different for all creatures so I guess I'm asking mainly for freshwater creatures but I'm also curious about salt/brackish also and half aquatic? Sorry that was way longer than I intended 😆
Tarantula Kat, how many legs do Tarantulas have? My dad and I got into a debate a few years ago when he tried to say they had 10 instead of 8. I told him thd palps don't count as legs. They're considered feelers. So if you could clear the air please? Thank you so much. Awesome videos. Your babies are gorgeous.
Love the Smithi! I would love to have one as well! Awesome that you also have a beardie, I have two! I did notice that the greens were by themselves, do you give him fruits and veggies? I do and they love them!
I have a female like your’s , it is almost impossible to found a adult male for paring. I wonder why this species became so rare in the hobby, considering I can buy a hamorii or aboehmei in every pet strore in town if I wanted to. So why? Hard to breed compare to hamorii?
I just got home and noticed my adult Theraphosa Stirmi has molted, she literally molted like 4 months ago max maybe less, and she's enormous, I did feed the crap out of her but is that normal for an 8 or so inch Stirmi to molt so quickly again? I mean she looks fantastic and fine and I'm glad because it's not humid here at all lately and i have to mist her tank with like an entire water bottle every day.
She's so beautiful 😍 this is the next tarantula I want I only have two rose hair and a Arizona blonde their names are jenova my rose hair tarantula and Last but not least my Arizona blonde her name is GWEN after GWEN STIFAWNI AKA kiwi because she looks like a little kiwi 🥝
So relieved it went well. She almost doesn't look real because her colours are so incredibly bright.
Awesome video Kat! She's such a doll
absolutely! so beautiful.
The light was external. Im pretty sure they dont glow, unlike humans
Wow, that orange is gorgeous! Glad she made it through okay.
Spoilers!!!

I notice you like crystals! I'm an avid crystal collector as well as tarantula lover.
I have a 3 1/2" GBB

Aphonopelma seemani are one of my fav to see molt because a lot of them come out bright blue

Love the shirts. A Tarantula hat, for Tarantula Kat! Brilliant! It's like Dr Seuss
Some of the most beautiful tarantulas i have ever seen
3:37 I thought there was a real tarantula on your wall
Thanks for watching my video while waiting for your beautiful B. smithi to molt! 😉
seriously that fresh molt color is so gorgeous 😍
So this dropped yesterday, but I decided to save it for today and o'boy, am I glad I did. What a better way to start a day than this? She's so gorgeous. Stay safe and take care👍
I must have watched this video like 100 times now. I watch it when I have insomnia. So chill and calming.

Aww Mango is such a cute name!! I also have a B Hamorii named Coco
Yay I'm so glad she made it through lots of love and support from your fan in Harrison Arkansas 🌹🌹🌹

thank you so much for watching!
You should check out Rock talk. It's a geology TH-cam.
Wow, that was pretty cool! Thanks for letting us experience the process of moult along with you. Only downside is that now I want a poptart ;)
THAT was amazing. She’s so bright, my goodness.

She looks so beautiful holy crap! So happy you were able to video that process, it was definitely worth the wait i bet 😁
Gotta love your dragons 🐉
I seen that she was in heavy premolt when you rehoused her in the last video. I’m glad she’s all new and pretty looking! 🕷🕷.
Moults are the most exciting as well as a stressful time for me. I pulled a moult early once to verify gender and the T didn't do so well and I had to ICU him for 24 hours. Now I always leave the moults until the T leaves it alone. They do seem to chew them up. .
The color on her is amazing. Glad she is doing ok.
I was just starting up TH-cam because my LP was doing the exact same thing and i was starting to get concerned as well.
Now i will just be a little more patient and chilled
Wow, that's a beautiful creature.
Animal 1 Guy said put bee pollen on the greens and they will go after them. Mist a little then put bee pollen on 😊

@@dorabrooks76 Yes, I guess a damp cloth would work in most circumstances. I have a super slippery wooden counter so the only thing that keeps the cutting board in place for me is the silicone mat
in some food places the red cutting board is used only for raw meat and not veggies, seeing you cut veggies on the red board had me strung af lol
that was the most adorable post molt drink
That fish tank is pretty cool
She is so gorgeous. I love this species so much. Thank you for sharing.
Her colors are so pretty. Congratulations
I love you’re videos. I am a new subscriber I’ve been subscribed for almost 2 months now and you have a really nice personality and always informative on things 🕷🕸
From what I've seen about everything that can go wrong while molting I can understand your worries and I'm glad all wen well 😁🕷😁
nice amethyst! I am going to go check her out! also, MANN she is so beautiful! that orange is too nice😍
Loved this video. Your Brachypelma smithi is beautiful. How often does she molt? It takes such effort on her part and looks very difficult to go through.
thank you! this is the first time she has with me. Adults molt slower than slings, so it will prob be more than a yr or 2 before she does it again
My wife says I act like I’m waiting for a baby being born pacing back and forth I’m not relax tell they flip up right lol
that organge color after she molted looked great
This was awesome, so glad she is doing great
I love the fact that your beardie won't eat his greens unless you "spice up" the dish with some superworms. What a character! :-D
It's the equivalent of putting ketchup on your kid's food, ha ha.
I used to breed Beardies. Amazing species they are. Some are picky with food just like people. I had 6 females and 2 males
She's beautiful😍
B. smithi was my dream T wish to have one someday ❤️
Man, she looks stunning! I was worried the cork piece would block her.
Beautiful beardie, really nice colours.
Great video she is looking fantastic.. love your new merch
Wow, I love that amethyst - I have far too many pieces of amethyst ... and lots of other stones too!
5 comment Hi Kat you are the best Keep up the great work Love the videos thank you for inspiring everybody 💯👍💪
A very exciting video! She is gorgeous and the only species I ever had.
My B smithi just molted yesterday
Love your Hair Color😍❤

Love watching your videos keep it up !
Her colors wow 😍 she's such a pretty t
Great video
I’m completely confused by your Christmas deco in the back 🤣
The wreathe is pumpkins 🎃 lol
Cheers - I was wondering if you are now Exotics Lair who films stuff and only uploads a year later or something 😅
Charlie Hustle HAHAha
She looks beautiful
My C. darlingi molted but it's missing a fang. It's a 1/3 in sling.

damn.. thanks for your upload.. my P.metalica just flip now and not moving for 2 hours... im so worried.
Okay but like everytime a tarantula sheds
It has me like 👁👄👁 mrs. KEISHA ? Mrs.KEISHA?!?!? Oh my god FUCKIN DEAD
Love the Smithi! I would love to have one as well! Awesome that you also have a beardie, I have two! I did notice that the greens were by themselves, do you give him fruits and veggies? I do and they love them!
I’ve seen people adding bee polen so they eat their veggies !
She's gorgeous
It’s a Dark Crystal! Quick here comes the Skeksi!

Generally speaking, how do you know when a species is true/actual species?
I'm glad I seen this comment before I commented something similar

“I’ll do the dishes in the morning”
So interesting that they molt upside down
I like your hair lol
Looks like a Dark Crystal shard.
What advice would you have for newcomers to spiders for pets?
Nice👍
Wow she is BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍
Beautiful! 😍
She is a beauty!
She's so beautiful 😍 this is the next tarantula I want I only have two rose hair and a Arizona blonde their names are jenova my rose hair tarantula and Last but not least my Arizona blonde her name is GWEN after GWEN STIFAWNI AKA kiwi because she looks like a little kiwi 🥝
the second time I see a tarantula drinking
8:42 is that tarantula on the wall fake or is it a taxidermy one or an escaped one
Wow! That T is looking FRESH now! Looking forward to the upcoming feeding vid!
Yeah, my new curly has decided to molt in her/his hide and I can’t see what’s happening. All my others molt in the open where I can see :(
