loved this video hope you had a good christmas

Whoah this is creepy but I have a thing for scorpions as an idea of force in nature just never would I imagine caring for them especially a mother 🦂 babies..yikes..did she eat her baby because she was hungry

Lydia! her name needs to be Lydia!

She's beautiful ❤️

I regularly attend the Church of Our Lady of Mygalomorphs.

I'm always interested to see what the names of the spiders are. I try to guess what they mean from what I know of classical roots. (Sometimes not even Google can fish out the meaning of a name, which is frustrating.) The names must be hell to pronounce for people who were taught to read by the "whole language" method.

Wtf

What else can you use those enclosures for besides spiders?

Have you ever handled your black widow with your bare hands?

Kat: "Do you want... a worm?" Spider: NOM!!!!!! Kat: "Yes."

I live down the shore full time. So of course they’re sold on the boardwalk, and nobody knows how to care for them. Then they freak out when the crab is running with no shell. I used a sponge for water. But as you said. I was a kid. When I started to work at my shore shore I wanted a nautical beach theme (cliche af I know!) but I got a tank with seahorses…. I love them they’re amazing! But yeah people would call and say the crab is out of its shell. I said you can come get a bigger shell. No charge of course we always have them take an extra shell. Not sure why they didn’t. I don’t remember seeing them. So usually to me when a hermit crab is running around with no shell - that’s not a good sign. And a bigger shell won’t matter. But mine lived 6 years! If I’m being serious I was like omg I’m gonna leave for the military and be like oh I miss my hermit crab 😬

Just realized ive never seen a baby scorpion 😲 the more you know huh

She’s actually a beauty.

I read a short story about these as a kid and wanted one so bad. When I was in my late teens I did all the research - heat pad, substrate, water dish, tank - and then after spending like $100 something dollars in 2000s money I didnt end up getting any cause I was still to worried. One day I might revisit but tank pets really need a lot more care and if you arent ready dont take the plunge. Still so much fun to see others enjoying them

Wdym mechanically? I have nerve damage from a dog bite on my lip what exactly is the damage you are talking about? Like genuinely curious

I swear jumping spiders have the power to erase arachnophobia.

I currently have a Desert Hairy and a baby Asian Forest. I’d love to get one of those flat rock scorpions, along with a native eastern stripeless scorpion.

i love you for even trying

I found some of her old videos a while back. I’d love if she’d start posting again.

I’m 3 months in and already am up to 13 spiders, 2 scorpions. It’s very addicting. I don’t know what I’m gonna do when they get bigger.

I love the black shelf thing that you have your big enclosures in! Where did you get it?

OMG Kat this was such a great video!

Do you keep your spider room at any specific temp? I keep my home around 68 in the winter, and I worry it's a bit too cold for my bugz.

I wonder if u fill it with air like they did with those dead spiders will it be come a Claw?

And male have long jaws and female like this one ha

You can feed a another ant mimic spider

There's one tourist shop in Orange Beach that shows proper care and housing and their hermit crabs are frisky and entertaining. And they stress those small plastic containers are for travel only. 😊 they also have a few permanent friends just to show how big they can get and how long they can live. It's a pretty cool display/habitat

I really wanted to some sling action that was I guess something

They’re so smol 🥹

Way to small enclosures typical americans. Hiw would you feel that your world is a small 25x25cm box? Even outside better life animals are not for boxes dosent matter if spider or fish or anything.

Shes so pretty ❤

@tarantulakat, it’s truly wonderful to see the thoughtful little box you’ve put together for Freya and her dad. Watching such a heartwarming video is a real treat-it’s rare to come across something that makes you pause and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas for each of us. xxxx

❤

Attack 100. Damage 0

Why? Why? whyyyyyyy would you take this home? Explain!?!??!??!!???!!

dam; don't those species have urticating hairs on their bodies? I hope she is wearing a mask.

Oookkk, why?

As someone who happened to have a camel spider (uninvited) having a siesta on my foot in Afghanistan, that's a big nope for me

Animal? I call them squished.

I still think hermit crabs are cool but not enough for me to spend $300 on a set up I’d rather get aquatic crabs I already have tanks set up for them🦀

I've had a Mexican Copperhead for a few years now and mine comes out to eat and roams for a few months and then I don't see it for about 6 months and it refuses to eat. Lol. But it's so cute because it has a heart on the booty. But yeah...definitely goes on hunger strikes for months. Which mine currently is doing. 😅

Yeah my hermit crab was in the same container with the flip top lid but in the 80s not the 90s I think we’re around 10 years apart It’s been about 35 years and I still remember what their food smells like💯😂

I known how neglected hermit crabs are I’ve only had one in my life and that was in the 80s as a little kid but I’ve always done research on anything I’m interested in especially animals I’ve been watching animal documentaries since I was old enough to sit up and grab the TV remote💯

Why would u have a pet like that

Damn! You picked up on my last name and my first name kind’ve, my birth month, and birth year. We’ve missed you dearly! 💖

I wanna get my first tarantula, preferably a dwarf one. Do you have any recommendations?

could you give the non scientific name along with the scientific name for those of us who do not know the scientific names??

Lucky Girl🥰 Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas Kat! I hope you and your family have an amazing day tomorrow 🎄Thank you for all your hard work to bring us all to love tarantulas ❤

Do spiders get dizzy when you unroll them from the paper towel?
