Yall share. I wanna see Kat hit 500k before next year. Thanks in advance🤗🤗🤗🤗
Perhaps you can help me out. I heard that Ts can get stressed out, when their enclosures are to big. But what about for example velvets, or recluses?
keep them bone dry or water once a week?
But where did the mite come from tho??
My velvet spider (orange ring) for some reason decorates her little mansion with the corpses of her former meals. Little goth baby.
do you keep them dry or mist once a week?
One of mine does too! Like a little fly graveyard! 😂
I guess it's just Eresus thing to do 😅
I’m still 100% terrified for spiders however I can’t stop watching ur channel! They are beautiful creatures!
same but I love velvet spiders
Never thought I would think a spider was cute, but I definitely find velvet and jumping spiders cute
Love my Eresus walckenaeri. When she was a baby, I switched from fruit flies to mealworm hatchlings, and she absolutely loved them. I just got tired of breeding fruit flies for her alone lol. My jumping spider slings love the baby mealworms, too
How would I go about iT ??
@@halbertgonzalez2405 breeding mealworms? There's a ton of videos on it I'm sure. To get the tiny ones you have to breed them yourself. I used screen (like the kind used on doors/windows), Rubbermaid drawers, egg crate, wheat germ, and oats. Add beetles and presto. I breed mealworms and superworms that way. I have 2 dubia colonies and a BSFL colony for feeders, too.
@@halbertgonzalez2405 after that, you sift through the substrate (the baby worms fall through the screen) in the bottom and find the hatchlings, then just place them in the web. My girl will even take them from the tongs. Too cute.
@@halbertgonzalez2405 oh and I used super glue or silicon to seal the screen to the drawers (cut holes in them of course, in the drawer(s) above the bottom drawer that is)
My slings have always had a cut up cricket (Take head and legs off) then I let them feed on the body over night and remove the next day as I find it so hard to find fruit flies in my area. But that sounds like a really good idea might give that a go 👍
"they are angry and waving hands at you" 😂 you saying that reminded me of the little creatures under the brick tiles in "jim hensons the labyrinth"
Velvet spiders remind me so much of jumping spiders....they way they move and explore... how curious they are and how much they move their front legs when they are exploring a new area lol
They're so stinking *CUTE*!!!
I'd be terrified to lose them while rehousing. 😂
Can I just say, it makes me so incredibly happy to have watched Tarantula Cribs grow as a business. Like seeing the new packaging for their products made me so happy and so excited that they’re able to have their own packaging like that.
Anyway, great video as always, Kat! Velvet spiders are so gorgeous ❤️
I have my first velvet spiders on the way after starting with jumpers. Like others have said, your channel has basically been the final push to make me realize how much I wanted to keep spiders.
I used to be terrified of spiders and honestly feel so bad because I always would kill them out of just being a stupid human and fearful. My husband has a really bad phobia of spiders as well. For some reason one of your jumping spider videos was recommended to me and I instantly clicked on it because of the adorable face I saw. I've been subscribed and binging your vids ever since and today I picked up my first jumping spider at an expo. A beautiful regal peach girl. While I'm still a bit weary of arachnids I actually held this little girl pushing through my fear and I'm pretty sure we are best friends now. It's amazing how this little girl has captured my heart. Now I just need a good name for our new little family member. Thank you so much for opening my eyes to the beauty of arachnids and for everything you do to bring awareness to them.
I own a few species of velvet spider, the balcanicus is my favorite with her little orange face. I've also got a Walckenaeri and blue sidi ifni. My most unusual one though is my Stegodyphus lineatus, she's all white with some black stripes on her back.
They sound gorgeous! I haven't heard of S. lineatus before... off to Google pictures! Lol Cheers!
just ordered a velvet spider, an orange ring one. I can't wait! Super exited for this video :D
From where?!? I can't find any!
Omg i have 2 of them they are growing like crazy but they haven't got the ring yet, cant wait for it, but they are awesome spiders, their webbing is so cool
@@carrienicholasxo415 are you located to europe? There were some sellers i don't know if they are still available but i could look
@@carrienicholasxo415 Are you from the UK at at all?
@@janinedeling4330 I'm in the U.S :( !!
I found out about jumping spiders from Clint’s reptiles, and I thought they were pretty cool, but didn’t really consider actually keeping one, but then your videos got recommended to me, and now I LOVE them and want to keep one. I have a question though, when you use top opening enclosures, how do you keep them from making their nest right at the top, and then having it destroyed every time the lid is opened?
It's really hard not to. Better better using side opening or getting a top opening that doesnt open from the very top but more of the middle of the enclosure so then the hammock isnt broken
just use something else
They like to make their hamocks up top. It's kinda how they are. You have to pick an enclosure that works with that.
What a cute remark, "throwing hands". I'll have to remember that!
KAT!!!! I got a jumping spider sling and a sub adult!!!! They are so cute 🥺 i found them in my garden and took them inside bc its turning to autumn and the black widows where i live are… beyond plentiful. Around this time this year they always eat the beneficial bugs in my garden :( so i had to prevent these sweet ladies from becoming snacks! I made both of them their own temporary enclosures and fed the sub adult(Named Sibyl) a small cricket and the sling(Named Francis) a couple flightless fruit flies! They both ate eagerly and climbed into the webs they made inside their leaf hides 🥺❤️ im obsessed and u sparked it!! I love u sm thank u for inspiring my newest passion like a year and a half ago
🤣🤣 velvet spiders defense JAZZ HANDS
👋 I dont comment much on videos, but I think you are such an underrated youtuber. You bring such positivity and awareness to spiders, you helped me overcome my fears. I own one of my own Ts now and I love her to bits. Shes so smart, gentle and interesting. I hold her safely every day for sometimes hours (shes sits on my shoulder while i work ( fully cushioned chair, plush carpet there for safety). I think its so wonderful and you have a huge impact in the spider community, a very big impact i hope you realize how important and amazing you are. You go above and beyond to provide only the best for each pet u own. Keep being amazing! ❤️ You have taught me so much about spiders, and helped others overcome there fears. Now if i see a wild spider in my room etc, i give it some water in a bottle cap underneath its web because in houses spiders dont have a water source, if i see one outside that everyones freaking out about i take by hands and gently move them to safety, no spiders get harmed or killed on my watch, such misunderstood creatures. Thanks Kat for being such a huge inspiration to me and allowing me to overcome my fears❤️ You are loved by all your fans
I still want a tarantula! My husband just got us a beautiful baby ball python. He thinks that will make me forget about tarantulas but I’m still getting one! Lol
The velvet spider is beautiful and adorable! I saw the photo on your Instagram! 🥰
"Look at me labeling things, I'm so organized" adorable and made me chuckle
This is like 10-th video I watch of Eresus genus today, so I can get even more used to the info about a little baby, I gonna house with myself soon ❤ Still dying over how cute they are ❤❤❤❤
Aww those velvet spiders are very cute. Can't wait to see them when they get a bit bigger. Cool video Kat.
There was someone in an eresus group that named their eresus sp. taygetos "Cheeto". So adorable.
Cool. I need these containers for when I move my false widows and orb weaver spiders off my balcony when the window washers come & while it's being pressure washed next Spring, then move them back after. Of course these aren't pets just wild ones I don't want them to die.
My first purchase was a Velvet Spider and I've added 3 T's all thanks to you. Love your videos!!
I just noticed the mushroom pillows on the couch...uh so cute.
Just love ur channel hunni....... you are so informative and a sweetheart..... as always huge huggles from Scotland uk 🤗🏴🤗🏴🤗🏴
I have to admit I absolutely hate spiders, I think it's more out of fear/arachnophobia than anything else but I've been watching some of your videos and lately I've been giving them a chance, earlier this morning while I was out watering my watermelons there was a these tiny jumping spider's, I put my hand down and one actually jumped on to my hand,.. now when I looked down I saw that my hand had disappeared and it was replaced by a giant spider but in reality it looked like a cute mole, they're kinda cute, anyway, I didn't freak out and I let him crawl around in my hand until I put it back down towards a vine and he jumped off. Just thought I'd share, great videos by the way👍
You have helped someone: aka myself who is terrified of spiders and such into someone who love’s entomology. I used to actually cry and shut down around spiders 🕷 now after watching the love you have for so many; I decided to own quite a few jumping and velvets they are so sweet and full of personality, those sweet things helped me grow and love them and appreciate them on how important they are for ecosystems. I also have a few leaf bugs and stick bugs that just have me in awe everyday. But long story short, the vids you create helped me overcome a borderline debilitating fear that I thought I’d carry with me. Larger tarantulas still make me kinda stand stiff, but man are they pretty and I appreciate them from afar. Lol but man little velvets and jumping spiders have been my gateway and have melted my heart 💜
I also have the sidi ifni right now. Cant wait for them to grow up!
I just got the TCribs nursery! They are so nice! And I got a few new babies for them too!!
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes i love them so much i want one so bad i’m crying
They are precious
I adore your videos, made me appreciate spiders on a level I didn’t think I could
hi Kat, " cool little spiders, I like the
enclosures ", happy spidy's now, :)
Omg Kat! You are so amazing! You have gotten over my fear of spiders. I have been watching you for a least a year. In my garage I have the biggest baby girl with her amazing web! She isn’t there every year, but only the babies! Only through watching your videos, I have gotten to understand her! She is used to me around her, when she was a baby, she would run up her web! Now, she is so big! My friends freak out seeing her, but I explain to them as if you were here! She is awesome, and next year one of her babies will be in the same spot like the past 5 years!
Kat, thank you for your awesome education towards spiders!
Never forget how helpful you are! Love from Atlantic Canada 🇨🇦
I really love velvet spiders, they're so beautiful 😍
Kat: Pulls spider house apart, prods spider to come out of what's left. Asks: Why are you so angry?
Made me chuckle. I love your channel - I never ever considered getting a spider or tarantula, but love watching your channel.
We need an update on the size of these babies ❤. Pretty please! Love your channel. I really want a velvet spider. I raise P. Audax jumping spiders. Love my jumpers. I also have a pink toe, and a Mexican red knee tarantula.
I Love your set ups! They have inspired many of my enclosures.
your spiders and habitats are creative and beautiful as well your personality
they're so darn cute i'm so in to these little spiders i think it's the color i love black..its like the jumping spiders they're so cute and but very colorful i like oposites in color thanks cat great vid.......
Velvet spiders are my favourite! So jelly
I definitely want a jumping spider so badly now c:
Thank you, your videos help me desensitize myself to the image of a spider 🙏 i want to be kinder to spiders
never in my life have I thought I would want a spider buy now I want one too cute
I like the pink stuff spider in the background
i rehoused three slings today too. 2x caribena versicolor and a poecilotheria formosa. they were so cute and calm 🤩
Love your videos, and I’m so happy I saw this one so soon after it was posted! Your videos are the reason I took the plunge into keeping jumping spiders, and someday I hope to keep tarantulas!
I used to hate alll spider bc I thought they where scary but now I ❤them especially velvet spiders 🕷️
I have been watching your videos for about 2 months, love watching you're a huge inspiration to me,
I have started with a mini collection of 4 jumping slings from outside for about a week and some and they seem to be doing wonderful.
Keep up the wonderful content!
Its so cute how excited you are... 😁😆😊
They are SO CUTE. 😍 Were there any air holes in the caps of those vials? I didn't see any.
I pet shop near me had some velvet spider and I wanted one so bad but I already had plans to go to an expo near me and my husband said I had to wait 😭
This channel is sooo addictive! Lots of vids to get through YAY! 🕷❤👍
I just ordered a blue sidi . I’m so excited. I will probably get one of these enclosures for it when it out grows it’s vial. kat please keep posting about your eresus. Not a lot of info out there. Your videos are such a big help and probably responsible for my addiction to spiders that has taken place in the past few weeks. 😂collection now has jumping spiders and an eresus on the way. I’m hooked. ❤️🕷
I think we need a video on the house spider that’s keeping your scissors hostage 😆
That third one was giving you the business, throwing hands. I imagined it had some choice words for you, tall hooman.
You should totally sell spider plushies, I would buy one instantly
Kat, your videos are hilarious and so well put together. What video editor do you use? Adorable velvets btw!
Translator Kat when you got your first velvet spider from Tom. I honestly thought it was a toy little plushie. And that's actually the first time I had ever actually seen a spider before. And it was so freaking cute. So adorable. I went online and Googled pictures of them because if they look so cute. And I'm like I want to Boop that one and I want to Boop that one lol. They look so cute and so soft. You just want to pet them but you have to be careful because they're so delicate.
I love seeing the velvets! I just got done with an expo yesterday and got some new T's! I bought a C. Elegans and got a Freebie P. Pulcher with it. I goofed though and he had said 3 species for the freebies and after getting the pulcher I think I missed a chance to get a curly hair instead as a freebie. Starting to have more arboreals when I wanted to have terrestrials more haha.
I've only recently started following you, wish TarantualCribs had stock in the UK, $100 shipping costs ouch!
That house spider sure did make a house outta those scissors.
Nobody grabs substrate and crinkles leaves like T Kat can!
I'm ordering a pair of velvet spiders this week. I'm so excited.
Halloween PJs/loungewear! So cute!
Where did you get them?
I love to watch you rehouse them 😊🌻
I have a nocturnal spider in my garden! It must be 5/6 cm long!
Your Halloween pants are such a vibe lmao
So glad we got to see your velvet spiders! I'm waiting for my 2 velvet spiders to arrive, also from Tom. I'm so excited!
They are so cute.
I'm not really sure what I like better, jumping spiders or velvet spiders. Both are pretty cool, I really admire the scarlet red on velvet spiders.
Hi Kat. My family has a velvet spider with dots on his/her but and want it out of their kitchen ceiling. lol told them it won't hurt them but they want me to take it out cause I had told them if I had a container and take it to see if anyone would want it. They're an hour away from me but guess I'll check in my area because the cold weather is close. I thought of you but I'm in Canada and don't know if I can send it to you. They freaked out when it came down more then a few yards and quickly, lol, went back up. These guys need a tall, tall casing to see the real work these velvet spiders do and to really do their thing
Those lil guys may throw hands but how tuff can they be at that size? lol. There really cute.
great video
Just like a kid. Plays with the boxes.
Lol Kat your tray 👏
What is the deal with the house spider and your scissors?? 🤓 Would love a little info on these spiders too. Never heard of them until today. Super cute!
I neeeeeed some of those boxes! I also need to rehouse my velvet too! 🥰
Sooooo Cute love seeing all of them... maybe you could show off wednesday soon as well ... Great Video Kat !!!!! 💗💗💗
I have one of these too. They look like little ticks to me 😂
Great video I love your collection and content 🙂 your the best
They are so cute! Love their new enclosures too.
Yesss, I've been wanting a care video on these. Love it :)
I just wanna be a spider in one of your enclosures. Literall spidy mansion !
Might get one
Kat You should get a tan jumping spider
Platycryptus undatus
I would love to get a jumping spider to take care of! I have been looking around my 3 acre yard for one! Maybe they are not here! I fell in love with them through your channel and the Lucas videos that have popped up! Would love some advice!
my 2 velvets are still doing great, but have gotten pretty big. some of my bug friends on discord said putting some of their web with them when you move enclosures is good. idk if that's true or not!
Where is the pink spider plush in your background from? Need it!!
So cute 😍
J'aime bien vos vidéos. Je vous trouve aussi très sympathiques et rigolote.😉
Getting one of these this week I can't wait so cute 💓 😍 ☺
I use coconut fiber in my plants as a way to hold moisture longer for them never had mold issues with it but I’m sure everyone’s experiences are different 🫶🏻
Very nice. Do the fruit flies escape thru the air holes?
Love the sling enclosures but to expensive for me... I wanna find a place to order my first jumping spider so u have any recommendations on cheaper enclosures.. TY
I love your videos 🥰🥰
I made a house spider a pet recently. He was in my spare bedroom where I sneak a nap sometimes. I gotta say this guy is pretty darn big! I looked up common house spiders in Michigan and I'm pretty sure he is a (SIX SPOTTED FISHING) spider. I see these guys a lot in my basement. And unfortunately in my living area too. I fed him a couple time and he did a very aggressive take down the first time. I fed him again three days later but I don't think he was that hungry yet. He hasn't eaten the second feeding yet. How often should I feed him Kat? Once a week?? Let me know what you think please. Thanks in advance for your help! 👍👍☺
Hey, I have a question: is 40x40x40 Terrarium good for a Jumping Spider? just one Jumping Spider a Finger Nail big. I want have the perfect home for my Jumping Spider. I know it is hard to make the perfect home for Jumping Spiders, they are so picky in nature :))
When you say that coco-fiber molds really easy, you must not be referring to coconut coir (fiber) which holds water and doesn't mold at all.
That's why we herps use it for reptile bedding.
Glad you’ve got better luck!
@@tarantulakat honestly it's not about luck. Its about not spreading mis-information.
And i know that's important to you.
(I love your videos, btw)
@@babysnakes1433 thanks! It’s not misinformation though! Pretty common but I’m glad it’s working for you :)
@@tarantulakat I'm not trying to be contrary or a troll or anything like that. I know you have friends in the reptile world. Ask them. Coco choir does not mold. That's how coconuts can travel thousands of miles in the ocean and still grow into a tree.
If you have used coco choir in the past and found mould, it must have been something else in the enclosure like left over food or feces. Please dont be dismissive about this. You and i are both animal lovers and i have seen plenty of people use inappropriate substrate and bedding for their anmals. This is kind of important.
