also just a small update, Chai has webbed up and sat on the eggsac in the temp enclosure since recording the rest of this :D
🥰
For the razor you should probably try to make a handle for it just so you don't cut your hand by accident cuz you know shit happens. Also, this is just my theory, but I think maybe the reason so many babies died is cuz perhaps just like allot of critters maybe they need there mommy. So maybe the next sac you can get the mommy with them like you did his time. This batch may have a better chance cuz she is with them to watch & care for them.
The best lil mama
Oh good 😊
Just a thought: I would have tried placing the entire tank in a modified large storage tote. Not the prettiest or best solution for space efficiency or visibility of course, but it could be further modified with slabs of clear acrylic..
Animals like spiders and cats literally have so many spawn because not all of them will live so don't beat yourself up because nature takes it's course. You're doing your best.
Yep! Just like garter snakes and lots of colubridae classification. They breed for quantity, not quality, which is why some colubridae and quantity focused animals babies fail to thrive or can/have dropped dead literally for no reason (or a hidden reason) out of no where!
Alligators, most fish, and most amphibians are also prime examples of this quantity over quality phenomenon!
🤝
Indeed, I've bred Agelenopis pennsylvanica's and the babies have low chances of survival, so the mother is also very protective of her spawn.
R selection at work, huh boy.
Don't beat yourself up! In the wild an even smaller group of those slings would've survived, so you've already given way more of those babies a chance at life❤
Can we officially get a shirt that says "eggs with legs" 🤣🤣
Legs and eggs.. 👏👏👏👏😂
🥰
That also describes tarantula slings though.
I wouldn't worry so much about what ppl think. As long as you are doing what you think is right from the bottom of your heart, I think things will end up just fine. ❤
Chai is so incredibly patient and adorable 🥺 Ive always been scared of spiders but your videos helped me & Ive decided to order a jumping spider for my first spider pet ☺️
Could you just stick the entire enclosure into a bigger, escape proof bin of sorts? That way they won't get disrupted until feeding/watering and any escapees can be put back into the main enclosure if they're found chilling outside in the bigger bin? (or make the bigger bin that the enclosure is sitting in an extension of it, and they'll just have more room for activities & less likely to cannibalize but, still be together?) Idk, lol, just a thought that sounds less complicated than moving the nest.
Edit: also, f*ck what other people think. If they just want to be rude instead of helpful then they suck and have nothing to offer.
Yeah, I was thinking if it wouldn't work to put a smaller box on the inside of the box, maybe it would to put a bigger box on the outside of the box.
I put my jumpers in a maternity enclosure after mating. This avoids literally all of these issues.
This may sound stupid... but what is maternity enclosure for spiders? I feel I understand the idea... but I honestly do not know anything about keeping spiders... I'm very afraid of spiders but have been watching videos to get over it and they've have helped a ton...
@@Shante_Llace I use a 32oz deli cup and lid upside down. Small pins holes all over. Hot glue sphagnum moss in different spots inside. Use moss and light misting for water. Move mother after mating to this and once the slings emerge you can move her out and leave the Littles in the container.
Such a good spider mom 🕷 😊 love the new camera!
Yes she is
Agreed!
you're a real TH-camr now - two camera angles, very cinematic
Ngl, it's pretty weird seeing her from a different angle.
Maybe you could rehouse Chai into a new enclosure that could be escape proof for jumping spider babies and it could be a nice upgrade for her, even if she doesn't need it. Just something to consider if you plan on having her lay egg sacs or breed her again. 😁
The new camera is realny good!(i also counted the babies when you where showing that the egg sack is connected to the background and from what I could see I counted exactly 30 babies!
New angle!!!! I love the new camera. It has better glare control which is so nice to see. Love your jumping spider babies. Glad we still have a few!
30 is better than none
I had audax babies. About 30 left their nest and now I only have one baby left. It’s not easy to breed them, especially when you’re a beginner. Just keep gaining more experience and don’t let this be a setback! Good luck.
I just thought, you could have maybe put enclosure A inside a new "baby proof" enclosure B??
IDK haha
I was thinking the same thing
Tbh, was gonna say somethin similar, like put enclosure A inside a clear tote storage with cling wrap on top or ventilation holes on the side covered with pantyhose 🤷♀️
Literally just commented this too! Great minds think alike (I hope 😂)
Kat, Do not beat yourself up about it at all. There is no reason! The fact that so many have survived is seriously so amazing. Keep being the wonderful you.
I'm glad You're channel is growing gradually. Good luck with the future of Your channel. Tom.
thank you Tom!
@@tarantulakat Your most welcome. I really appreciate your work and I always look forward to seeing your new videos 😊
My little jumping spider is growing at the same time as your slings! I mean they are the same size ^^ (sorry for my english)
A big hug from a fan from spain
yay, thank you! hug back!
Your English looks just fine 🙂
Be weary of the flip ip screen! The two small screw on the back of the camera like to come loose and fall out! Make sure you regularly tighten them up. Both of my screws have fallen out of my mark 2.
Thank you Bennett, I’ll double check
I'll be using a mesh enclosure once my Lagertha's eggs grow their legs. Though she is in a BFP enclosure so it will be easier putting that in a butterfly mesh enclosure than an exo-terra
I've seen others do that same thing.
Don't worry Kat, I had a ton of Agelenopis pennsylvanica babies in the past, which I didn't know what to do to help them. I've had 4 or 5 egg sacs only 1, a long time ago, services to pre adult stages and only a small handful survived. I've had countless Agelenopis pennsylvanica adults, which have a short indoor\outdoor lifespan,
And they are so far great pets for me, except for the babies, so I think I'm giving up on breeding Agelenopis pennsylvanica's for a long time! So feel better Kat!🕷🙂
Tomorrow I’m ordering a female phidippus Regius would a micro wilderness habitat work for it?
Everyone has their own ways of doing things, I wouldn't worry about what other people say. If it works well for you, that's the right way
Hello great video update Kat Gar used a collapsible mantis net put the whole incloseser inside
Hy Kat , You are Doing Fine ! i D xpected this to happen. dont put your self in this mindset that u think u made a mistake, in wild nature maybe almost a 10th of them would survive the first few weeks...so , u did fine ! ok ,...next time maybe better, but thumbs up ! greets from Vienna !
Great vid kit Kat... That felt gross..... I won't do it again lol
just out of curiosity, would covering the whole enclosure with pantyhose not been ideal either? though it would be pretty difficult to feed them then i suppose haha
I'm surprised you didn't get bitten by the jumping spider!!!
Yr a wonderful spider mom ❤️❤️❤️❤️🕷️🕷️🕷️😊❤️❤️💯
What do you feed baby jumping spiders? Cause all of mine in the past have been hard to find food! Because I have to find the food the size of them. If there are baby’s Were do I keep them in? I’ve been putting them in a small container do they need more room? Should I put all the baby’s I find together? or is that a risk to cannibalism?
Next time use the one sided razor for safety. Any hardware department can show you. Hugs 💞
Maybe an exacto knife? 🤔
Is no one gonna talk about the tarantula on the wall at: 6-50??? Can't tell if it's fake bye ✌️
I might sound like an absolute idiot, but what about putting the enclosure into a larger container and ventilating that to suit the babies? So if they get out, they won’t be free to escape, they’ll just go into the outer container? You could put some substrate and plans and such in the bottom of the outer enclosure for them? Idk
I think iPhone camera looks better IMO :D
Nice upgrate tho!
Do you have any scorpions or falsyz u could give or sell cheap
Can you use fly screen repair tape on the enclosure?
Following your journey with jumpers, it seems they are a little trickier than T's lol. Just in terms of enclosures and maintenance.
small jumping spiders need very humid environment to successfully molt
Awesome Kat ❤ the different angles each camera bring us (your viewer's) I just upgraded to 2 cameras...keep up the great work 🔥💯
Hi kat I always enjoy your amazing videos keep it up I love all your species of tarantula and your jumping spiders and your praying mantis keep up the good work 👍💪💯👍👍
I think your new camera is amazing Kat. (And we get to see another side of your living room) . I love your house. I would love you to take us on a tour of where you keep all your little pets and creepy. Crawlies. I love your sense of style and I bet your home is really Boho Chic. (That's what my friends call me.... all 3 of them! That's all bye.
i think you did a great job. i feel the people who say your not doing it right and getting upset with you have no clue what to do themselves . i love your videos and you have helped me with my own 13 tarantula's
I love the quality of the new camera, the spiders look great too!! Both look good tho
honestly you might just have to put chai in another enclosure while she's popping out sacs.
Thats kind of what I'm wondering. Seems like it may be easier to temp rehouse her while she's having babies so that none of them have the stress of being moved or rehoused.
I like both cameras.... both views!
love the new camera!!
Hello there Miss spider mommy❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
I love having pet spiders vicariously through Kat
You're doing fantastic Kat. I'm glad you didnt delete this video even though you were frustrated. Dont let the haters get to ya, you're doing what you feel is best at the time !
When you said 'oh my god, Chai, what are you doing', I was thinking she was asking you the same thing :D
I love the new camera, footage looks amazing
When can we buy these guys
You did it perfectly. Everything worked out and you have 100% approval.
I just wanted you to 1) use a single blade razor or 2) cover up the other blade. I was so worried you would git yourself. You didn't, I'm a fool. I'm just happy you did everything perfectly.
Jumping spiders are so cute.
I have good news and bad news. Over the last two week, 50% of my T's molted. They were all successful molts. The bad news? The other 50% are brachypelma.
Dont worry. The bad news was a joke for those who know much about brachypelma growth.
So slow
Clever joke. 🤣
Dang..when Chai falls i "Gasp!"... and hear the babies "Mommmmy!".. but you handelt it the best way you could :)
6:53 Is that big spider hanging on your wall made from cast iron? My sister brought me one home that size from Scotland!
hehe yeah!
@@tarantulakat That's so cool! I knew I recognized it!
I really am wanting to get a jumping spider. They are so much bigger than the ones in the uk 🇬🇧 so cute 🥰
Could you put Chai's whole entire enclosure inside of a big storage bin or just a bigger enclosure temporarily until they are bigger?
i think it would be harder to keep an eye on the babies and make sure they are all eating if she did that
@@BrooklynStone good point!
Very good choice on camera! And good job with jumping spider babies! (Although I'm no expert... we're I a jumping spider... I would appreciate/approve of your methods!)
You look so nice🥰🥰🥰....all fancy at the beginning.....turns out you were on your way out the door!! Can't believe how cute they are!!🕷🐞🕷 Good luck on keeping them healthy and safe!!💮💮💮New camera was very nice....a little dark but that could be lighting. Grest shots of the babies though!!😉😉😉
I like Barbies that are really cool and we get them cuz I'll try to find your me spiders and
Quick Question T Kat what do you think of the Darling jumping spider (Phidippus audax)
Grow, little baby jumpers, grow! New camera adds spice to the mix. Well done.
Maybe try putting a seamless box over the entire enclosure. That way they can escape Chai's enclosure but not the outside box.
Great video BTW!!! I love seeing new jumping spider videos!
I have been binging your videos and specifically the jumping spider videos and i really want a jumping spider now 😂
Omg! I have to have one of these jumping spiders! They are so adorable! Now the question is…. To wait for the expo coming up soon for my new pet, or go exploring in my backyard for my new pet! Which do you prefer? Captive bred, or wild caught? Is there any differences in CB and WC that you could share with me?
This is why jumpers have so many babies, a lot don't make it. Don't feel bad! They're not the easiest to raise! The best way to learn is by doing it.
Nighttime can be a little easier time to do moving things because they're all settled and asleep.
Don't count your spoods before they molt ;)
Gday mate from Australia. So far so good dude. Quality is chill. Sound is chill. Your editing skills are dope. Good Job. I’d say good investment. No problems. Our arachnid friends fascinate me. They sure do their job keeping natures bugs and mozzies in check. But dude, I hope that ain’t a real Tarantula on ya wall. I reckon that’s a bit too much freedom for him. We got some of the meanest, most dangerous spiders in the world here dude. The medical research folks milk them for their venom for anti venom. So Do you milk your eight legged buddies? Next time mate.👍🇦🇺😁🤪☮️
Kat you know very well that there’re people out there living and breathing just to judge people, they throw their judgment in the air without taking in consideration that we are all learning in this “new” hobby. People should really learn the difference between constructive criticism and destructive criticism🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. I’m glad you didn’t delete the video tbh and I appreciated your honesty with us although i’m sure i wasn’t the only one who felt you’re not good from the beginning of the video😆 I love your videos, i love what you’re doing and i learn from you a lot keep it up and keep us posted😌👌🏼 Much love♥️
Hello I recently noticed my jumping spider hasn’t created silk in about 2.5-3 weeks I believe! Not even when she crawls, I notice her spinning away but o don’t see anything.. she hasn’t ate 2 weeks was yesterday and last molt was Nov 2nd she’s an i8
Awesome video. Next time, use a single edge razor blade. You had me cringing, and waiting for your fingers to start spurting blood....
Awesome job!!! You did a perfect job there! Love your videos! Congratulations on the new camera! I’m looking into getting one too. Looks like it’s doing a great job 👏🏻
You did great! Don’t ever worry about what people say, everyone has an opinion. I’m just happy you showed us. It’s amazing!
How much would you charge for a jumping spider? And where would you be able to ship to and how much for shipping?
I would try putting the entire enclosure in a butterfly hatching kit thing. It folds up easy, the tiny flies can't get out, I used one to hatch a mantis egg. I don't know what its called exactly, but I love it .
Just bought my first tarantula cribs enclosures using your promo code. Im excited to start as im new to tarantula keeping. Doing my research and getting everything ready before i decide on any one in particular. I do want to start with one arboreal and one terrestrial species. Having a hard time deciding. Any suggestions? Im leaning toward a grammostola pulchra for the terrestrial. Any arboreal suggestions for a newbie?
Caribbeana versicolor is a beautiful new world arboreal!
@@lillyh3447 im in love, such beautiful tarantulas. I think i will probably go with that one. Thank you so much
No prob! Just remember to keep them with lots of ventilation and a full water dish
Question: so I caught a tan jumping spider the other day (Platycryptus undatus) and it’s about like the size of maybe a pencil eraser. I’m pretty sure it might be a male, but then again I think it’s too small to figure it out. How often should I feed him? I don’t know if he should have a bigger abdomen or not. His abdomen is a bit smaller than his head (I forget the scientific terms).
Also cute story about mah jumping spider, I’m named em marathon because I found them in marathon key when on a trip- so when I found him, he was accidentally spooked into a small puddle, so I gave him a tissue to dry off on and the cutest thing is when he rubs like everything in different directions to get dry. Another adorable thing about this is that whenever he jumps he wiggles his little abdomen and stretches his front legs out. (If you cant tell I’m new at keeping jumping spiders because I’ve only ever cared for a tarantula, who is still growing- (Aphonopelma chalcodes)) jumping spiders have far more personality than my Arizona blonde tarantula! My tarantula is lazy and my jumping spider is quite energetic.
Sorry for long comment and I’m a big fan of your channel! I share the same love with spiders and I wish I could hoard spiders lol. Hope you have a good day, :D also sorry this doesn’t at all relate to chai’s egg sack. I hope the baby spiders are doin well :]
Love the new camera!!!
Hey kat please can you Google English house spiders, I think they're super creepy and would love to know what you think about them.
Maybe next time look for a one sided razor blade? That way you don't injur yourself doing this. I use safety razors for maintaining my undercut and the little niks and slight skin sheering (not very often, just sometimes I accidentally use too much pressure) sting like heck, I don't wanna think about potentially slicing my finger open.
So are all boy jumping spiders black or is that just the regal Jumping Spider species? Isn’t all boy jumping spiders have a smaller abdomen and big legs in front?
Fellow STL spider keeper. My little sling looks to be about the same size as your first batch.
i feel like you might have since discovered this, but a scalpel, or the razor with one side inbeded into a skewer / pencil / paintbrush might give you the ability for some of those awkward angles and smaller / more precise cuts.
I am just starting down my rabbit hole of jumping spiders, and finding your videos fantastic and helpful.
* Chai moving along with the web into the cup * *slightly dazed and confused but good*
Really like the Camera Quality! I think a combo of both Cameras will do your channel good };)
New camera is great! Definitely good to up grade! This is your Business nothing better to invest in!
You should have made a "catch" box around the the inclosure. so se babies just went out in that instead and rehome them as they come out :)
I mean like a big big box with a nylon stokking as ventilation or something :)
Hey, what about those ladies elliptical razors? Would maybe one of those work better? They have a little handle that may help?Just a thought. :)
Kat I thought you did an awesome job last time on the eggsac! And we all know you do a great job. Don't worry!
I just sold over 170 baby jumpers and what I did was separated each one right after the second molt (usually when they leave the sac) and due to that I have had only a 15% mortality rate. It’s a lot of work feeding each little one in their enclosure (I drop in like 3 fruit flies), but if you want a higher survival rate it may be something you want to look into.
I could just eat the cute little baby jumping spiders right up.
Ive got You and Petco a videos playing simultaneously Petco is on my Google Pixel and your on my IPad so it’d sort of a problem listening to two videos at the same time I just want to support both of your channels by viewing them at least twice each. Again thanks Kat. Tom
My bold jumper (salem) ive had for a long time passed away today. I never thought i would be so emotional, but he brought such joy to my life and the loss really hurt. He was in adult hood, old, really cared for and loved. I wanted to get him placed into an epoxy resin mold to keep him forever but i don't know how to do that myself. Ugh. Rip my little dude.
Try a "bug barn" its a wooden and screen enclosure. As a temporary baby house. The door closes flush.
Could you use some rubber sealant to secure the crack? Or a long piece of craft foam and shove it in the gap?
Maybe in the future put Chi’s enclosure inside a bigger enclosure where you make it baby jumping spider escape proof?
That way when they do start leaving that sack they won’t be able to get out into your house. I don’t own spiders or anything like that so idk if that would work. I know baby jumping spiders are tiny and might get lost in her enclosure.
Will my female jumping spider die after the baby spiders leave the nest or is Google wrong!
Don't jumping spiders eat each other?
Love the new camera 📷.. I really want a jumping spider but they are hard to get hold of here in the UK
