- In this video I take in a beautiful Mexican Red Knee who was for some reason, left abandoned in poor conditions. Although I am sad someone would leave an animal (especially caged) I am happy she made her way to us where we can spoil her and keep her safe

That drawing on the terra is kinda sad. Seems like someone was happy to have her at one point... glad that she's back in a caring environment :-)
I knowwww!! It had a name and everything 😭❤️ Maybe the former owner will see this and be glad she found a good home
thats what I thought it seems like she belonged to maybe a young person who got caught up in their parents problems the whole thing really upset me not just the neglect of the spider but thinking what mightve caused it 😢
Fortunately she seemed pretty healthy and well-fed. Hope her previous owner gets to see that she's being well cared for
Deja vu! My Rose Hair came to me via a similar situation. She was abandoned at a little pet store I go to. The owner said that he came in one day and she was sitting by the front door in her tank. It had about one inch of very old packed web covered dirt, no water bowl and no hide. There were a couple of carapace from previous Molt's so I know she had been in there for a long time. She is very old because I have had her for two years now and she has never melted in my care. She has never thrown with threat posture and as often as not when I open the enclosure I have her in now she will very daintily come out and she likes to just hang out on my hand for a while. Very sweet girl that somebody got bored with. Their loss but my gain. I love her so much. Rosie is such a sweetheart!
John Brazell That’s really amazing. I’ve been working on my ‘love’ for spiders for years. I’m finally at the point where I want to learn more about them, keeping them, etc. They’re so incredibly beautiful.
Such a sweet girl, she’s gorgeous. I can’t wait to see how her personality blossoms!
Are you talking about the spider?😉
@@danielmoore2622 😂 that's what I was thinking! Lol x
Yes! The spider! Lol but Kat is gorgeous too :P
It's so sad that she was abandoned. She was lucky to find you as a new owner.
She’s in very good hands ☺️🙏🏼.
That´s so sad... From the drawing on it, I would probably say, it was the pet of a kid and the parents left it there...
I personaly like to keep my spiders in bigger enclosures than they need, but I´m also feeding my spiders with tweezers, so they don´t have problems finding food. It doesn´t look like the owner checked if she ate or not. She got a way better home now so thank you for adopting her =)
Awww!! So happy she was rescued! Little vulnerable orphan 😭 I’m not crazy about that water dish. It seems a bit close to the opening of her hide, like she’ll have to walk in it it go inside. But congrats on your newest friend!! ❤️🍑🍑🍑
you’re right. It’s bothering me too and makes it feel too crowded. gonna replace & thank u ^.^
Happy you got it in time before it would pass of lack of care
Peaches seems like a Pretty Chilled out girl, plus she's a real Beauty...
Thank GOODNESS SHE WAS FOUND BY CARING PPL AND YOU ADOPTED HER..SHE IS A LUCKY GIRL TO HAVE YOU CARING FOR HER PROPERLY, AND GIVING HER LOVE AND RESPECT...
SHAME ON THOSE PPL THAT CAN ABANDON AN ANIMAL JUST LIKE THAT .. DIDN'T EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO TRY AND FIND PEACHES A SUITABLE HOME.
CONGRATULATIONS TARANTULA KAT ON THE NEW ADDITION TO YOUR FAMILY.
YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD PERSON, WITH A CARING HEART.
My brother's first tarantula was a mexican red-knee and she was a sweetheart, as well!!! I find them so chill and she was so gentle when we handled her. ACK I'm so happy you saved this little girl
I mean…. Nyx, my Brazilian Black (G. Pulchra), is in a 10 gallon with plenty of substrate to burrow (which she did) and she still roams around quite a bit…. She’s very weird but I love her! Also it’s sad how people just do that with animals! At least now she’s safer with you.
Awe shes beautiful... hamoriis are one of my favorites, mine is called Candy corn lol
She's such a sweetie. I almost have my husband convinced to let me get my first tarantula.
Hope you can convince him, tarantulas are amazing pets ❤️
Keep going! It took my husband 7 years to say yes! Got my first G.pulchripes sling last Thursday... he realized how cute it was so we went back to the shop on Saturday and got a second G.pulchripes and a T.pruriens!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍 this is for the people that found her and took their time to find her a loving home most people say it's just a spider whatever
oh gosh this is actually rly sad...idk but it makes me feel like someone did what they could for her bcus that weird cricket box thing is like something someone might do if they wanted to leave her food supplies for a long time. and when its someone going in to renovate a house often they dont get those houses in "normal" circumstances its when houses are neglected and sold at auction and stuff. and big glass tanks arent exactly cheap, its like bad pet shop advice, oh yeah you have to buy this expensive glass tank for a tarantula, then they painted on it and stuff oh now Im just imagining bad stuff happening to ppl 😢
well at least she has a good home now and such a beautiful spider I think she will be ok w/ one pedipalp
Yes it can be seen as wasted space but my tarantulas do roam, not trying to undermine you but I like to give my tarantulas the choice to roam should they want to. Love your videos btw, very informative and entertaining.
My T.Vagans is the same, it loves to come out at night and have a good old wander. Before it's first moult with me it used to stay out and walk around all the time and the only time it was in it's burrow was when I would disturb it.
I always wondered if the reason keepers put them in tiny enclosures, similar to office cubicles was because they have a billion others they need to lift and sort to feed etc. For a person who just has one, it's seems like even that 10 gallon is too small of a surface area to run around, I agree with the falling height tho. When I saw the new enclosure, there just isn't any room for the T to stand on dirt without stepping on some other element, I'm not a keeper so maybe I just don't get it...
More space is always good, for anything. I have a Lp in a 60x40x40cm enclosure, and she uses pretty much the entire enclosure at night. I mean she would definitely do perfectly fine with half that space at her current size, but if I can pürovide that space and she can use it, why not? But you also have to consider peopel that are keeping hundreds of tarantulas don't have a whole ass aircraft hangar to store them, so obviously they have to reduce the size of enclosures to a reasonable size, which for a tarantula can be quite small without them having any issues with it.
@@caboosemacs Nature is pretty untidy.
@@_YellovvJacket_ The thing that I go by always is that would you like to be kept in a small cage day in day out with little room to move, I wouldn't and neither should a tarantula live that way. Many people say that tarantulas don't care and can't feel pain, emotions ect but tbh I believe that is nonsense.
It's honestly mind boggling to me how people can just abandon animals. 😲 I just, I- I don't know, I just can't even fathom... But omg, what a sweet heart!!! How is it that her and Dumpster Tarantula are both just like, the sweetest ever? She's absolutely gorgeous, and Peaches is so perfect for her name, and, ugh, I could go on and on. So glad she ended up with you, and I can't wait to see her journey 💙💙💙
She's more of A Peaches as she is both Sweet and Beautiful. I Love her Thank you for saving her and giving to her the Best Life💗🕸️🕷️🥰
Oh my goodness, she's so sweet. I love her.
Aww bless her what a super chilled cutie
She's huge! Don't think the 10 gallon aquarium was necessarily inappropriate. Beautiful animal 😍
Feels like she was a kids and the parents didn’t really do the research for their kids pet. I dunno the writing on the terrarium is heartbreaking and I worry her owner wasn’t old enough to know better or even keep her.
i think you're right
I feel you. I was a newbie T- keeper, and only had one avicularia as a "tree" species. The pet store that we get our snake food from, asked if we would take a T from a lady that was bitten twice and didn't want it anymore.... it was a P. Regalis, the enclosure was filthy,full of poop dead hoppers no waterdish . I her home, poor girl was close to death. I was terrified, after the horror stories the former owner told about her aggressive behavior,and research on the species. Luckily the rehouse went smooth,and she is with me ever since ,and I have never regretted getting her
Wow! So many disturbing things to unpack in your comment!
I mean, it sounds like she _really_ needed some training on how to safely interact with Ts, especially fast, bolty, defensive ones with potent venom. And can you imagine being bit by a pokie not once, but *_twice_* ?! Yikes! 😓😱
Then there is the sad state of the poor T... heartbreaking! 😟😦 By the way, did you mean dead grasshoppers, or dead hoppers as in baby mice/rats? Either way is bad for a number of different reasons, of course, but if there was a bunch of dead vertebrate corpses- ugh, the smell! 😝🤢
Thank you for taking her in! I'm so happy it's worked out well for both of you! (Or all _three_ of you, if you include the original owner. 😉 I'm glad she realized it'd be better to rehome her spider, too.) 😄
She seemed pretty darn chill with the rehousing and while you were talking, looks like she has a really good temperment.
I can't believe people left her behind. She's so beautiful. She's lucky to have you know💝
Omg!!! So this is how u git her omg she's so sweet woooow I love that I know her story now!!! U make me laugh u did a grate job and yeah she definitely has been eating no issue😍
Honestly this looks exactly like the situation I ended up in when taking in a spider. When she came to me for the 12 hours I had her. She had sand substrate, a light shining on her, and no place to burrow or web. I don’t know what kind she was. Like I said I had her 12 hours before I rehomed her because of the nightmares I had. But I found her a home with someone who knew what she was doing and got her into a much better enclosure and situation. Looking back in it after everything I’ve learned now, makes me really glad I didn’t keep her because I had absolutely no idea how to care for her.
The general attitude toward spiders is so bad a lot of people think 'it's just a spider who cares' I encounter those people with snakes aswell and it's sad but they say they love all animals. I've spent a couple of thousand at the vet alone on my snakes over the years I recently lost my jungle carpet with heart disease and my gorgeous diamond and even my vet cried. If people get a pet they have to be willing to care for it properly. Just want to say Kat I love your videos and I hope they help change some attitudes toward spiders the level of care you show them is awesome. Thanks for saving her!
Your thumbnail sad face got me here quick so pleased you have her she's a very lucky girl 🕷
I cried this is so sad I’m happy she’s w someone that will love her though
I'm not a tarantella person, although I've been watching videos like this for about a week now.
But this is just heartbreaking.
I can not believe that anyone can leave their pet, for whatever reason.
Fortunately, she has now got a wonderful beautiful new home.
Poor baby, I'm glad you could take her in, your a good person, I wish I could rescue some.
Shocking what people can do, isn't it? Peaches is so lucky to have found her way to you.
Great job rescuing her.
Glad to see that she is with you now Kat.
We got our first 2, the ones we have now, from a family that moved long distance and didn't take them. I started this journey as an arachnaphobe and have since become much less scared of spiders. Its been 6 or so months and we are learning a lot from watching your videos.
She must be sooo happy now she's with you and has a lovely new home! She was incredibly well behaved! It's almost like she knew that you were helping her.
So glad you rescued the beautiful miss Peaches. She is lucky to have you!
Poor girl, I hope she enjoys her new home
I'm so happy she got such a good home!! Sweet girl will have such an amazing life now. Makes my heart happy.
How could anyone abandon such a gorgeous & incredible baby?! Such a shame. So glad you have her now ❤
She's beautiful! I just got my Mexican Red Knee sling a week ago and I already love them and would never abandon them. I know peaches will have a better life with you ❤️
Sooo glad she ended up with you!!! 💞🕷🕷💞
It's so frustrating that people do this, it's how I ended up with so many hamsters, hermit crabs and fish.
I have bad arachnophobia but since I was younger I have always had a fascination and awe of the red knee tarantula I think the bright orange colour and some of the docile nature documented just caused me to fall for they’re intriguing life 😁
Glad that she found a home with you and also glad that whoever found her didn't go "I'll just release her into the wild"
Sweet jaysus I'm surprised she's still alive. I know you'll give her a good home.
tarantulas are really good at surviving long times w/ out food or water, especially slow ones like grammostolas or brachypelmas that take a very long time to grow or moult etc. her abdomen even looks quite fat still. ofc its never an excuse for neglect but if it started out well fed and full of water a spider like that could easily go a year w/ out eating
Thank god you found her
I hope this girl is doing well. I'm glad she's got a new home with you.
That's sad.
Glad she's got you.
Looking forward to the updates on this girl.
You are making me love spiders and i use to be scared of them but now im curious
Ahh Peaches is a perfect name for her. I truly hope she does ok. It makes me mad when any animal is abandoned like that. Thank god she is in your hands now hun.
Poor creature..
Thank God tatantulakat rescue her
What a beauty. It’s so good she’ll be safe in a good home. I got a Grammostola rosea mature female off Kijiji that was not in a proper set up with no water and bone dry substrate. And the enclosure was filthy... so I bought her and rehoused her in a more suitable enclosure and she seems to be thriving so far. I named her Lydia Deetz.
I still haven’t found the brown recluse in my room :(
Spray spider spray
I feel you 😰
Hopefully when you do find him, it's not after he's bitten you :') Good luck hun! Ngl, they are a pretty epic species.
Move
MightyRude Then what about the jumping spider
7 comment Kat you are my favorite tarantula TH-camr keep up the great work You always make my day 💯💪👍
Thanks so much for giving her shelter, that was heart warming. 🙏🏻
oh my god she's so gentle
Maybe owner got bad advice like I did years ago from pet shop
I think that's likely
my thoughts for sure
@@tarantulakat I honestly believe that if pet stores can't give the proper advice and don't know what they're selling, then they shouldn't be in the pet trade period.
Yeah, it was probably some little kid who really wanted one and the parents just took the advice from the pet place.
What a good-natured girl!
I love Peaches, she’s one of my favorite. I hadn’t seen this video yet, so I didn’t know she had been abandoned. I’m so glad you got her.
Thank you so much Kat for taking her in! Such a better enclosure and new mommy 😊
cant say enough good things about the people that found her,all that effort for an animal that they had nothing to do with is exceptional,glad to see peaches with a good home,i think the enclosure size "argument" is always going to be a thing between those with smaller collections and those with large collections i agree with your points but as someone with a smaller collection i go by the spider if they are out and roaming i will give them more space if they dont use it then its no trouble to move them to a smaller one(or put some plants into the rest of the space is also an option) what are your thoughts about this? ofc i am only on about length/width height is undeniable only aborial's get height :)
Makes me sick that there are Tarantulas out there not being cared for.
Poor girl. She's absolutely beautiful. You're so lucky though to be given free T's all the time 🤣.
I am glad she has a good home now and a caring human to care for her :)
I’m so glad you rescued her, I feel so bad for her. Now she can live in comfort! Thx
thank you for being so kind. i am terrified of arachnids and love to see other people take the extra stepst to make up for my fears
aww, she's so sweet! I hate when pets get abandoned. It's so sad. :( I'm really happy you were able to get her and provide her with a good home!
So awesome that you are able to give her a good home. Welcome Peaches!
Hi I just watched your video on this gorgeous girl and I can’t believe how they kept her like so heart breaking and I’m so glad she will be well looked after by you x
She's in good hands now😍❤
I'm so glad you rescued her. She's in the best possible place! If I was a T, I'd wanna live with you!! ❤️
Poor Peaches :( what a sweet, pretty girl. She's lucky to have found her way to you
The bug boxes are supposed to be used as a "shaker" feeder. You punch the hole in the side, shake out desired crickets and then tape over the hole. There's food in the middle for the crickets as well. You aren't supposed to just leave it in the cage but it is a decent product for people who don't want to touch crickets.
Not that abandoning an animal so ever good but wow what a sweet girl. With how the cage was it looks like it was a child's pet and they child probably got bored and when they left just decided "well it's just a spider" Very sad I'm glad you got her
Looks like a kid’s pet. Awww
I love this🙏🏼 so nice she will have a great new owner for life now poor girl
This made me smile sooo much! She was so calm too, considering she was abandoned she should be flicky and strikey lol! Great video!
My first T was a G rosea from a pet store who I assume was wild caught (I only buy captive bred now) and she is the chillest sweetest spider ever. She never kicks hairs or threat postures. Its safe to assume this spider was wild caught too. I wonder if other people have similar experiences with wild caught? Are they normally chill?
Imo terrariums are nice to see for the environment itself also, not only for the animal in it, so even if it looks like wasted space for the tarantula, it's not for the human eye (when it's well done... like, I loved @the dark den Petko's waterfall tarantula enclosure. I never kept animals at home, only plants, the green and the water's noise are awesome)
This makes me incredibly sad, I'm glad she's with you now. I suspect they just wanted a cool pet to show off but got bored :(
Awww so pretty! The T is awesome! You got a cute doggo as well!
I have a T in a ten gallon bc I got it from someone who didn’t want it... she also actually spends a lot of time out of her burrow as well
Enjoyed the video Kat. It looks like Peaches enjoys her new home.
I'm nervous around large spiders and I'd never get a tarantula (mostly because I see myself being too scared to handle it, and I feel like I wouldn't able to give it the good life it deserves) but I've found myself really liking your tarantula vids lately, especially the feeding videos! Even if they're not my kind of pet (i'm more of a cat person heheh) it's really cool to learn about them!
Kat you are such a beautiful human being (: such a beautiful & sweet tarantula. I’m glad she now has an owner who will give her great care! 💗
At the pet store they tell you to get those boxes to “make your life easier” because they themselves are terrified of spiders.
Such a lucky girl, getting you for a keeper🕷️. Stay safe, take care👍.
Bless her heart ❤️ I’m glad they did reach out and she now has such a good home..:Peaches looks like such a sweetheart
Aww!! I'm so happy you adopted her. Please keep us updated on her. Especially with how her first feeding goes 🤗
You go girl .great job .
If you didn't take Peaches, I would have. She is a really cool spider. To abandon her was terrible and moronic. Hell, if they didn't want her they could have sold her for $200.00. But I guess their ignorant loss is your gain - and ours! Thank you for sharing her with us.
I keep my 8” LP in my 20 gallon long. She’s huge and loves webbing it up
I love how you told her you'd never leave her lol
You are going great work and I'm so happy she found you!
So I'm trying to get this straight because I just removed a fine screen mesh off a Zilla enclosure to replace it with something more T friendly. It's the top of a 10 gallon tank that will be bioactive & full of plants, it's a glass tank with no vents besides the top. I want it to have plenty of ventilation so I decided to replace the mesh with a wider mesh such as chicken wire. Something along the lines of 1/4 inch squares. Something plenty big to allow air flow and spider legs to get through without getting stuck on the mesh, while keeping the rest of the spider from escaping. My understanding is that their tiny claws get stuck in the tiny screen openings. Wouldn't wider openings take care of that issue? I mean I COULD replace it with plexiglass with holes drilled, just wouldn't have a lot of ventilation.
I'm very new to spider keeping and have never experienced one getting stuck. I'm leaning on the rest of the community for advice!😁 so far T ppl have been very welcoming and helpful. And you're right! I felt bad about my 1st T
(Juvi Tliltocati albopilosus )
being in a tiny enclosure, she's now in a 8×15×10 bio enclosure and to my knowledge she never leaves her hide. Which is fine, she'll grow and hopefully become more adventurous and I do enjoy the plants and look of the showcase, but I plan on getting tons more spiders, they definitely will not ALL get these huge enclosures.
awwwww the poor girl! at least she is with the perfect home for her now
Awww. Peaches.
She is beautiful, glad shes with you and I can't wait for the updates!!!!!
Keep up the good work❤️❤️
I don't see how anyone can abandon such a sweet creature. Maybe something happened in their life that prevented them from getting her. At least she's in good hands now!!!
