NEVER thought I'd get THIS!.. Unboxing CREEPY Centipedes & CUTE Jumping Spiders

[@TPhilth]

Thanks homie !

[@tarantulakat]

thank you tommy

[@meagandoodlebug]

I had a Vietnamese giant centipede, and when I got him I thought I would eventually get over my nervousness with him, but I never did. I had literal nightmares about him all of the time. I thought he was so awesome and I loved keeping him, but he just freaked me out. For some strange reason I never even considered keeping small centipedes instead. These are really cute and cool.

[@hannabelle4149]

Lol same, had a cherry red Malaysian millipede and would have nightmares about him escaping and crawling into bed to bite me

[@katyann4198]

😩 that's horrifying. When I got my first OW tarantula I had a couple dreams about her getting out, lol. I would wake in the middle of the night and check on her to make sure she was still in her enclosure. I hate centipedes...they scare the sh*t out of me.

[@humphreybiggins8295]

@@katyann4198 weird how i also had dreams about my tarantulas escaping when i first got them? huh. strange.

[@katyann4198]

@Serial Glitter aww 😥😩 dreams are wild!

[@teeprince279]

The only thing i had nightmares of were about the roaches escaping and taking over the whole house 😅😂😂 Not once a bad dream or worry about my tarantulas

[@amandalucky8211]

I will never get tired of that cute nonsense jumping spiders do where they like fully move their body to look up at you 😭💕 So ridiculously endearing.

[@AmericanThunder]

Well, their eyes are sort of fixed in their little heads, so if they want to focus on you, that's their only option. lol

[@goldfishwishes]

The little speckled plants are called Polka Dot Plants, they get pretty big when they are allowed to. it probably wont live in that small enclosure. It wont have enough room. the deep purple plant is called schumi red peperomia. THey like bright indirect light, moist soil and warmer places. THe polka dot plants look best in low light but will bend to search for light. Indirect bright sunlight is best for them with temps over 60F, well drained but moist soil. I hope this helps some :)

[@cuteandspookycritters8691]

Came in here to say just this lol

[@loquinbritton3186]

Me too!! Though I have seen polkadot plants in fairly small terrariums, it seems like if they get enough light they won't get too leggy. They grow very quickly when happy but are easy to kill. I have mine under a grow light which seems pretty good. I think the peperomia is going to do great though!

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Definitely helpful! I love the peperomia, it's so pretty!!

[@arasartsandjewelry7647]

100% on your comment about if you make the enclosure nice then the invert is less intimidating. I get comments a lot on my enclosures and how pretty the spiders are in them. Esp my avic avic, Chanel, who has an arboreal enclosure with a pothos, a few fake flowers and some jewelry and crystals at the bottom and a red bow tied around the bottom. My co-workers were all "look at her adorable pink pedicure" instead of "ewww a scary spider'. Wish we could post pics here.

[@thoth8784]

Lov u Kat. I just gotta say this. NO, NOT THE CENTIPEDE, ANYTHING BUT THE CENTIPEDE!!

[@ravenlord7144]

This arachnophobe in Alaska wants to thank you for being one of the primary reasons I've been able to take progressive steps to get through my irrational fear. Watching your videos started it all, and I think I have to say that the *adorable* jumping spiders are a "gateway spider." After that, the sheer beauty and grace of tarantulas make a fascinating journey. Since watching, I've been able to get close enough to house spiders to capture and release outside, alive and well. Watching how you create a habitat for spiders, I got an appropriate container at the pet store, used natural dirt (no chemicals) and decorated it carefully. I then caught a hacklemesh weaver that was on my kitchen floor and carefully put him (small for a hacklemesh, so I assumed male but could have just been young) in the habitat. I immediately bought some small roaches appropriate for his size, and to my delight, he *pounced* and eagerly fed! I made sure he had a water source, and I had him for about a week. I never saw him in the habitat after the first couple days, but I kept seeing more and more webbing. So I made sure he had both a food and a water source, and then I released him out into my yard so that he could live out his life. This was such a major step for me in overcoming my phobia, and it's a lot to do with you, so THANK YOU! I've been looking up a ton of sources to learn the different species, and when I caught a hacklemesh, I researched how to care for it, though I always intended to simply observe and release.

[@kellyharper367]

Me too! I've gone from arachniPHOBE to arachniFAN! 😊

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Polka dot plants are cool, I always get a whole load of fungus gnats with them which is annoying 🙈 but yeah with good lighting they should grow. The spiders are so cute!

[@carleetaylor-hearn7500]

Sprinkling cinnamon onto the soil might help kill them.

[@strays998]

I live in Missouri, and we’ve had a couple House Centipedes. They are really small with long legs. We leave them alone, because they kill things like flies, termites, and other nasty house bugs. And they’re pretty cute!

[@tarantulakat]

I think they're cute too!

[@Fallenfromgrace1990]

Honestly, your videos have helped me get over my fears of spiders. My mom had a small jumping spider in her car and instead of freaking out, I just scooped the little guy up and put him outside after talking to him in baby talk.

[@lilred197398]

Tarantula Kat as a arachnaphobe watching your channel is changing my opinion of spiders. I am literally falling in love with jumping spiders. I don't think I could do a big Tarantula but, totally could vibe with a jumping spider. Thank you for helping me see the beauty in spiders.

[@crushedclover]

How did you make centipedes cute? They are the one "creepy crawly" I just cannot do and I told myself not skip this video and maybe it would help me overcome that... seriously, that first one was adorable! But I dont know I can compose myself if I run into one at random - but watching yours from afar is ok.

[@michelleusher2499]

Ditto

[@jb222111]

Those little jumpers!! I'm watching to see if I have any in my house this year, haven't seen any yet... The centipedes... Pretty, cute and a little intimidating! Their houses look great!

[@gloriajackson2021]

I found one in my house the other day! I caught it out of the corner of my eye and I said omg how did my spider get out?! I have a male and a female regal jumping spider. And for a second I thought the male had escaped. But no it was another male regal jumping spider. I honestly couldn't believe it because I've seen other types of jumping spiders in my area but I had never seen a regal. So keep an eye out. They're starting to come out!

[@TeriyakiDior]

Okay, the little Pumpkin x Chai Halloween lookin one my favorite 🥹🧡

[@Lastally01]

The dark purple plant is a peperomia. They like humidity but don’t water the leaves directly or they’ll melt. But a fun plant to say the least

[@karinas6978]

I used to have severe arachnophobia. I’ve made so much progress thanks to this channel and now I’m getting my very own sling tarantula. Going to get a Brazilian black hopefully female sling. I’m also going to get a tarantula cribs enclosure for it so I will be using your code. I’m so excited haha never thought I would be saying that I’m excited to have a pet spood.

[@maryjooverocker4510]

I'm in love with the jumping spiders , the centipedes are a beautiful color.

[@Demolitiondude]

Caught a jumping spider yesterday. Filmed a jumping spider eating a stink bug yesterday at work.

[@quietzest]

Seeing a new view of centipedes would be awesome! I used to be pretty afraid of spiders until I started learning about them, maybe it’d be the same with centipedes?

[@marjorieinverts]

Everything is so beautiful 🤍 needed this today, had a rough week, lost our Great Dane very suddenly and this really helped, very excited about all the new additions!

[@tarantulakat]

🤍

[@samhaines8228]

Very sorry for the loss of your loved one.

[@diannamichalidas9014]

The jumping spiders are adorable!! I really want at least one. I want one so much!! The centipedes, oh my gosh, I had chills the entire time!! They are so creepy to me!! They are my biggest fear!! Millipedes, not even a little bit afraid, but the others, heck no!! Nice video though! Thank you!!!

[@danaedwards9072]

Thanks to Kat I’m over my phobia of spiders...centipedes, not so much.😬

[@TuberoseKisser]

I got mine a few days ago too, they calmed down after a while. I think getting them young is the best

[@SlightlyVenomous]

Everyone made me so paranoid about my centipede escaping so he’s in like a full security jail now haha

[@ekajnaabi22]

Your videos have taught me to be gentle and kind with spiders. Still afraid of the larger lens but I have a much better appreciation for the smaller ones. I now take them outside instead of killing them if I find them inside the home and such.

[@Luisa-vg6lq]

I really think that your channel is a find since I discovered maybe 1 and ½ year ago 2 years ago maybeee. But you deserve so much better. You are doing a amazing work always so interesting and good quality really keep going. I'm sick and since that time wheen I was/am alone in home unemployed and I love seeing your videos, and from another creators too, but thank you for all the good content ❤️

[@mollycontent]

Your ventilation on those in cases was adorable and the set up is so cute so are your new babies

[@AutumnalAussies]

I see several comments going over the plants but I'll mention that my polka dot plant takes to pruning really well and keeping it small enough to stay in the enclosure shouldn't be difficult but they grow SUPER fast in the summer months with bright indirect light so you'll probably need to be trimming weekly at the least during that time.

[@sidewaysonhighways]

Be sure not to over water the substrate. Mycosis is a major issue for centipedes and it will kill them if not managed. Fine Cross ventilation holes half way up the sides from the substrate surface will insure good air movement. The Pure Life channel is very well versed and has centipede care down to a science. I recommend watching his vids.

[@MrURDUMB]

"Dork Den" LMAO. You and Petko are hands down my favorite pet youtubers. Thanks for everything you do Kat!

[@nikkic0509]

I love jumping spiders so much! They’re so sweet and absolutely beautiful. I’m happy you got centipedes. I find them very interesting too.

The way the jumping spider cutie looks up with those lovin eyes.....(sigh) I'm melting.

That was cute when you knocked over everything to get your babies! They were active lol! The smile the brought to your face was priceless. :)

The pink and green one is a pink polka dot plant. Needs fertilized once a month nd can grow big. Good luck chika! Amazing nd beautiful new jumpers!

Ahhh what a cutie!! The one that looks like Chai and Pumpkin is so precious! I'm getting my tarantula on Tuesday as a early bday gift for myself my birthday is on the 9th ^^ I'm getting a Chaco Golden Knee tarantula I'm so happy and centipedes are cool but not for me hehe to fast.

Omg they are just too cute. How could anyone be afraid of those little jumping spiders. The orange one is gonna be the little punk rocker of your crew their. Wanted to go travel abroad.

[@tarantulakat]

lol she was so fast 😅

[@nikle2550]

Super fast. We have alot of jumping spiders here in the pnw and everytime my mom sees one she wants me to kill it. I just pick them up and place them in the flowers because they are just adorable.

[@AmericanThunder]

I just saw a huge jumper in my driveway yesterday, the largest one I've ever seen. It was black with white markings. So cool.

[@Lost_in_paradise17]

3 weeks from now…”so I got a Scolopendra….” 😂

[@hermanlively8197]

Where did you get the centepied home

[@Drakensong]

Hey Kat, could you do a video on how best to clean out an old enclosure for a new spider? Do you need to clean the enclosure out and put new soil and everything in it for a new spider after the previous one dies? How best to store used enclosures? I haven't seen any information on this part of having spiders. Thanks so much!

[@Jalyra420]

That orange jumper looked like it had some purple around its face and I loooove it

[@LMatison5608]

Spicy worms is a great name for them 🤣 I love it! This video made me want to get some of them now. Lol

[@marcoslalinde9976]

The plants with the dots on the leafs is called Hypoestes and the purple one is a Peperomia

[@Cammibird1]

Just wanted to drop a quick tip for removing the plants a little easier: instead of grabbing them from the stem and yanking them up, tip the pot onto its side and gently squeeze all over the sides of the pot, starting at from the bottom and working your way up. You should be able to massage the entire root ball out of the pot this way without risking any damage to the plant or its roots!

[@dovahstudioz5453]

I've heard that centipedes can give nasty bites! Especially those Giant Desert Centipedes that their bite feels like fire. Or something similar to the Gila Monster bite, like it's lava. Idk if that goes for all centipedes but I'd be careful nonetheless! I have always liked centipedes and millipedes tho :)

[@BuffyLynn]

In case no one commented on plants, the 2 similar are called “nerve plants”, need water but low light. The other “pepromia” may be ok if it gets some light and not too wet.

[@23bself]

I have severe arachnophobia but I watched this spider attack an ant the other day. It was one of coolest things I’ve seen. If spiders are domesticated and in an enclosure, I think I would be alright but I’m still afraid of the wild ones

[@jennamalmquist]

I am a houseplant lover and i think some neon pathos would be a great contrast in there, or a brazil philodendron would be really pretty for the centipedes too!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@michelleusher2499]

I absolutely love jumping spiders, they are soooo cute

[@hyper8545]

Jumping spiders have such cool little personalities they are fun 👍🤙

[@kellyperez793]

Spicy worms !!! 🤣🤣 Love this video Kat!!!

[@sandypeacock1460]

That’s what’s up. I use those target food containers too for my fossorial or arboral juveniles.

[@MyCreepyCrawlys]

I bought a Solomon Island Giant Centipede. Thanks for making a Centipede video.. Hope to see more of them.

[@jennafibich6159]

Oooh I love the seed pods you had in the one jumpers enclosure!! Did you just find those outside or did you by them?

[@michelleward8815]

I was always told to put walnuts in the windows to keep spiders out. Maybe they don't want to go into the walnut hides cause they have a bad smell?

[@beautyonabarnbudget]

Those plants are going to get HUGE and quick! I plant them in my window boxes every year. They are annuals , they need some 🌞. Then they get huge. You should put just 1 plant in each container.

[@horrortour]

I can't find the video I had seen it in but I contacted an etsy shop, Spooder Space, for a custom enclosure for my first ever cutie jumping spider.

[@cameronparkes7356]

Another amazing video. Just in reply to your question about what plants to use you can't go wrong with tradescantia (spiderwort...yup, fitting name). If it snaps just put the bits in water and it'll root and make a whole new plant. Hope this helps :) Keep making fantastic videos.

[@bugtalk84]

The purple plant is Peperomia and the two others with the spotty leaves are polka dot plants.

[@bobbibuttons8730]

Love love love the jumping spiders, they are just so incredibly beautiful.mow, centipedes, uuuuuuugh. You are so brave kat

[@Lovinglife43]

Hold on Kat I got goosebumps cause of the centipede 😁 okay I'm ready.

[@sarahhastings1486]

i love jumping spiders but centipedes creep me out.. i think i honestly just dont know enough about them because i used to be terrified of spiders and now that ive learned about them i love them

[@Paramite84]

I used to have a Scolopendra, but he/she stayed burrowed all the time.

[@GirlofCulture]

"Those little ones are quite "jumpey", but that's where their name comes from I guess?" :> luckily, you could catch them all. They are all quite charming especially the one who looks like "Chai" I always hoped for you would get a centipede even if it is just a small one. And even though so many are afraid of them, i found them fascinating and cute and pretty ^^ In another video i saw something that might be helpful to you. Take a large water bottle and cut it in half and take the upper part. Then, use your brush to coax the spider into it, and once relocated, use the brush from the other side to get the spider out again. This method look quite practical, especially if you're dealing with bigger spiders. Take care of your new cute worms with legs ;)

[@dimwarlock]

"Centipedes are just spicy worms" I'm stealing that one.

[@LuckyStone888]

I love Hypoestes phyllostachya, Pink / White Poka-dot plants. I bought one a few years ago and filled my house with them. They are a very easy plant.

[@Leepbby]

The jumping spiders are absolutely Adorable 💯... Makes me want to try again to get a female . I got baby jumpers and all 3 matured Male . Think it may be time to try again... Great Video Kat!!!! ... Centerpedes 🐛are a little intimidating to me but I will be very interested to see how you handle keeping them. I am quite curious... ❤❤❤

[@TeriyakiDior]

The pink she has fits her well 🥹all of them are adorable. Edit: I think they all have hints of pink on them 🌸

[@CaptainStixz]

Lil red crinkly plant looks like a Peperomia caperata "Schumi Red" (or as they should be called imo: peperoni plants) and the other plants are I think Hypoestes phyllostachya (Polka Dot plant). They both like humidity and indirect light, so here's hoping they did well with your new leggy friends! c:

[@VampBalletDancer]

Those plants you got are super basic and easy care indoor houseplants. Good lighting and water when dry or droopy and they should thrive! Love your content. Thank you for helping me out with my arachnophobia! Maybe centipedes will be less creepy too. :P

[@mandyluna]

"Dork Den" that was so cute.😄

[@Ghostoad]

Far right looks like red peperomia and the other two polka dot plants. All are indirect light. Im not a plant expert just have alot of house plants. Cheers.

[@jgscatsandthings5208]

I am not a centipede person at all. Even the UK ones, which are small. The unboxing of the jumping spiders I loved, but I do love jumping spiders, and their cute little faces.

[@andrewrichards9513]

I noticed a very small jumping spider in the UK, I never knew we had them, I wanted to catch it but it was too fast. Missed your uploads kat 👍

[@thatlamborghiniguy5826]

The 2nd centipede you unboxed, we have the same ones in Japan and they get quite impressive both in color and size. I got bit once by a little one. The last jumping spider is really gorgeous but American jumping spiders seems bigger than those we have in japan. I've got like 4 of them living freely in the house, catching mosquitoes, they're very cute and curious.

[@LexaJ828]

Great timing, I’m in the middle of making a jumper enclosure!! I lost my Theodora a couple of weeks ago, and I’m still upset… but this past week, two beautiful female Audax came into my house 🤩 And I believe one is gravid! So I’m excited 😊

[@Sarah-pc2kw]

I think Petko knows he doesn’t have a copyright on sand😂

[@Walpurgisnacht.]

Gorgeous! :D I really dig the black and white jumping spider.

[@UnforgettablemomentsM]

It is very unlikely that they will bite you. I have never been bit while handling one. If you have your hand on the edge of the enclosure and let it climb onto your hand, it would be totally safe.

[@SpiderWitch13]

I just wanted to say that your channel is amazing. I’m just getting into tarantulas in and I purchased my first Tarantula from tropical World Pets, A Aphonopelma chalcodes. Watching all of your videos in two weeks and doing some of my own research made me feel comfortable making the first purchase so thank you

[@samhaines8228]

Centipede Kat!! Hmmm, not a bad handle, could work out for you as a side channel ;) You're killing it with your enclosure game, those Jumping spiders are going to be super cozy!
