Voted for my girl

[@lorettatavilla8223]

Please add a fairy or 2. It's very cute. Fairies would make it more magical

[@mereyemsuzanne8635]

I like the enclosure of tarantula collective more ... without fake mushrooms 🍄 😊👋lots of love and respect and greetings from Amsterdam The Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@jaeraison4892]

both enclosures are so cool! one appeals to my goth side, one appeals to my mystical side, i like them both!

[@krystalquinton6711]

I definitely can picture little gnomes living in the mushrooms and hear the cute giggles of fairies and pixies in the air above the mossy logs 😊

[@kymberlysteiger8125]

I watched both videos and voted for you 👍 To me it seemed like he just kinda threw it together and didn’t put too much thought into the enclosure, it was basically like all his other ones. You on the other hand, put a lot of thought into the enclosure and you seemed to put a lot more passion into it. Your enclosure is really very beautiful! I even love that you choose a tarantula that was really special to you, that made the build even more stunning 😍

Makes so much sense that I’m terrified of spiders but here I am.

@@purplepopgirl4707I’ll admire from here. I won’t say never because I have kids but I don’t want one in my house willingly.

[@kristenerwin2518]

I was that way too until I started watching Kat. I have a pet jumping spider now he is too cute!!

[@anxiousopossum]

I’m such a sucker for the adorable fairy mushroom village vibes, the amethyst was such a cute touch too.

[@suzannebauer6234]

I'm a big fan of fairy gardens and all the little fairy houses around the city (Especially Francis Park) and I LOVE how the enclosure looks. Awesome result!

[@nigelsreptarachnids5931]

Ok. So… I’m a patreon of Richards, and quite honestly this enclosure is miles better than his. Amazing job, Kat!! You got my vote! Btw you’re growing as a KZbinr and tarantula keeper TREMENDOUSLY!! Thank you so much for all of the great content you continue to put out for our enjoyment.

[@gugghead]

Huge fan of tarantula collective but I gatta give u the dub cause urs has more of a naturalism esstetic To it and the mushroom look so good

[@tarantulacollective]

😫

[@philtrevis]

I thought it was weird that both of you posted at the same time. Makes sense now....!!

[@EFergDindrane]

That's awesome! I love that theme--it's unusual and still looks healthy for your little guy and of course super cool.

[@birdspiders]

great enclosure! especially the small sized leaf litter makes it to scale amazingly 👌

[@stephaniemitchell3572]

I LOVE the tarantula collective. There's 4 of you youtubers who really got me in the hobby. This was hard but girl that fairy garden cottage theme is so dreamy. I had to choose it. Lol!

[@ethanmccormack9561]

I love watching Richard he has such knowledge and wisdom when it comes to owning inverts, he makes amazing enclosures and his challenge enclosure was no exception but Kat your enclosure is amazing and I'm not just saying that, Kat you didn't just smash it out of the park, you smashed it so hard it's still orbiting the Earth. Sorry Richard if you read this but Kat has got my vote.

[@lashesk]

This reminds me of the cottagecore jumping spider enclosure I made for my first jumper 😍 Also when you have so many enclosures, it is hard to create these for every one! I can’t believe people doubted your enclosure building abilities because you frequently show fast/simpler enclosures; the spiders don’t care 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

[@ladyjessiecoyne2617]

There is no competition Kat, your enclosure is magical...... well put together and thought out..... as always gorgeous lass huge hugs from Scotland UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤗 🇬🇧

[@fluffballren]

Looking at both of your enclosures is hard for me, yours hits straight to my love of cute things and Tarantula collective's hits with the dark punk side. overall, both are absolutely amazing and beautiful

[@GeneTLewis]

And the land slide winner is.... lol I would have voted for you just because of the moss work :)

[@ethanmccormack9561]

Sorry for the millions of comments but the glow in the dark mushrooms are amazing and funny enough look exactly like the magic mushrooms the grow near me which I will be picking soon 😁

[@mikemullikin8942]

Really cool, Kat. The best part is how much fun you had putting the enclosure together and how happy it made you.

[@deedeejones57]

Richard is cool af but Kat is my #1

[@pikachucharitysworld7473]

I love this enclosure, and a LOT of yours just becuz i prefer to focus on the learning instead of how a crib for your pet looks. I still wanna see the Greenbottle blue care guide you have tho. 😅

[@kevinpoe8137]

My only gripe with reptisoil is how hydrophobic it is when it dries, and when you try to rehydrate it, it just makes a big muddy mess

[@scribbltum4275]

Yay! So I have a 3yr old and she loves these videos too, getting everyone in my house to be less scare of spidies

[@mariannescalise6658]

Do You make them with like a little branch coming out so they can climb I have a lot more to learn about spiders some I am a little scared of we went to Hocking hills state park in Ohio and rented a house for a week my nephew seen this spider it was on the wall it's legs span from one side to the other might have been like 10 inches slender legs it was bright light greens and yellows and other colors it just stayed there they were able to take a big tuper ware container and put it back in the woods it was beautiful colors it almost didn't look real I don't know what it was and it was so calm your teaching me so much thank you Kat!

[@coldcountess]

Beautiful enclosure Kat !!

[@speedmodifications]

Hi Kat! I just got Aton of stuff from a reptile show one of them being a salmon birdeater tarantula

[@joannegalway1226]

Kat, that’s truly the most beautiful enclosure setup I’ve ever seen 🕷🕷

[@sharonbrecker9194]

I have to admit I like bith enclosures a lot but Kat urs is hands down my fave. You got this girl🤞👍

[@twitchiewitch1]

I voted for you Kat! So far you seem to be killing it by a landslide! I just commented on Richard's vid that I like & watch & are subscribed to both if you but your enclosure was definitely better, more colorful, thought out & unique. Where his looks like all his others. Great job!!! Funny... several months ago I made a custom background for a friend's Avi-Avi that was extremely similar to yours here. Really is a great idea... leaving lotsa room left in the tank for extras with such a slim profile.

[@hoibsh21]

T Kat yr enclosure's so great I wanna live in it!

[@kaylacrawhorn8805]

KAT, UGH! You popped off on this one!!! Richard's enclosure looks incredible as well, and really fits the T he chose to put in there so you both really made this as difficult as possible lol

[@dersupra]

The moss in the cracks of the cork bark was the nail in the coffin..... Not even close... lol. Both of you two have turned me into a spider person and I thank yall for that!

[@mandyluna]

I love mushrooms so much! It's gorgeous.😍

[@sheridangarris6322]

This is so cute!! Both of you put your whole personality in the enclosures and I love that.🖤💖

[@Me-dt3ul]

I watched both and was very impressed with both enclosures and after much thought I voted for you just really liked how natural it look well done.

[@china_sickness7005]

Sorry Richard, but Kat’s got my vote. Beautiful enclosure Kat

[@gailw3979]

My favorite thing about both videos was how the tarantulas performed and posed. They both looked great in the enclosures! Voted Kat. It did indeed look right out of a tarantula fairy tale.

[@scififairy3517]

I love it😍 its not just nicely decorated, it has a theme. So pretty

[@advertisingbreak8204]

Your pre-intros just keep getting better, that was one endless hair kicking action.

[@fatemehmaryam2419]

Out of all of your enclosures, this one is my favourite next to your velvet and jumping spider enclosures! 😃 Love it! 😍

[@Bfdyr69618]

Juno: [as Adam and Barbara come back to the afterlife] You two have really screwed up! I received word that you allowed yourselves to be photographed, and you let Beetlejuice out and didn't put him back, and you let Otho get hold of the handbook!🥰🤣🧟‍♂️

[@BBsBeasties]

Okay the mushrooms are everything! LOVE this enclosure!

[@ronr7855]

WOW! The night time shots sealed the deal! Very impressive set up, plus using one of my favorite T's! Congrats

[@LAUGHOUTLOUDPUPPETS]

hey kat you got my vote richards set up to dark for me.

[@olivarryflarrow4681]

This enclosure is gorgeous and now I want all of mine to have this energy lol. I love the T. apophysis but a P. solaris, X. immanis, P. machala, or P. nigricolor would look so good in here! The bright pinkey orange of the solaris or the deep purples of the others would fit the theme so well!

[@spiritsoul2396]

Richard's was great, very natural. HOWEVER, your fantasy spin and attention to detail is off the charts. Amazing crib, lucky tarantula!

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

I didn't know you'd been invited to the Snake Discovery build off! I loved the enclosure that Richard made there this year, but it would be really cool to see you at next year's. This mushroom enclosure is so cute and magical, but I gotta go see what Richard did now so I can vote!

[@mariahchavez1993]

I love your mushrooms theme.

[@JayTee95]

Okay, I have to admit: I thought Richard was going to blow this out of the water. But wow, you really went in on this. This is a phenomenal enclosure that you put so much thought and effort into. You didn't just build an enclosure, you brought an idea to life.

[@angelaroddy3768]

I love how it has an actual theme not just your basic tarantula set up theme but an actual theme that looks amazing and still gives the T what it needs. Youve definitely won in my book. This is what i want to do for my Ts an actual theme for them but i dont know where to start since im new to the hobby

[@margaretfox32]

I love watching both of your videos. I watched Richard's build first, and I have to say, you beat him by miles. While his is very awesome, yours is straight out of a dream. Spectacular job!!

[@ralfgunter8779]

That was a very wonderful video from you again.👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩

[@Pontus-Tarantulas]

Such a fantastic fairytale enclosure.

[@cateswildlife]

You, tarantula collective, and exotics lair should totally do a collab. It is you three who inspired me the most, and I would love to see another competition like this.

[@cateswildlife]

Also you have my vote over Richard’s enclosure 🤫

[@SeverusSnape12345]

I love both of your channels and all the enclosures both of you build. This was an amazing idea! Both your enclosure and his enclosure for this mini competition were great and I love them both, which made the vote difficult. I do love yours more though, it is so cute and beautiful! And very well thought out! ❤️ You got my vote!

[@brianaglenn3706]

Hey Kat! I recently got my first two tarantulas, a T. albopilosus and an A. seemanni, about a month apart. I just wanted to say a big thank you for getting me into this hobby! And getting me 10% off my TC order 😆 I absolutely loved this video. I like how your enclosure set up has a background bark. I could be blind but..I don’t see many keepers putting backgrounds into Tarantula Cribs. Awesome video!

[@lindseymercuria3971]

This is so gorgeous! I love the elaborate attention to detail and the glow-in-the-dark shrooms are adorable. Man, your T. apophysis is cranky! LOL

[@SignalHillHiker]

Very cute competition. Very different enclosures. I genuinely like both but the magical one is more my personal style.

[@Cattrix999]

Oh it was so hard for me to choose. Argh!! But I voted for you, I LOVE Richard's enclosure, it's neat and coming into October it strikes a chord for spooky vibes, but I love your addition of the ivy and you made the background cork look very natural. I want to make 2 new enclosures, similar to both of yours. They are both great.. but you added that little extra bit of whimsy I love.

[@s0satier0lle50]

You got a vote from me 👍I watched both of you guys vids and i gotta say that yours is absolutely breathtaking I just love all the vibrant colors and i think the spidey does aswell 🫶

[@Inkedscales]

You both did such an awesome job. I love that you made a negative comment into a fun competition that resulted in 2 tarantulas getting amazing new enclosures 🕸 🕷 🕷🕸

[@MilleniumNemesis]

I have watched both you and Richard for quite some time now and I love you both. You both give me so many ideas and tricks around situations, you are both an inspiration to me. I know that this is just a little bit of fun, and it's an absolute blast to watch you both, but I do think you have snatched this one from Richard lol. And you are right, yours does look like a fairy tale, I love it!! It's just an absolute pity that the T. apophysis does not care as much as we do for what it looks like lol 🤣

[@Timefortracy]

KAT I love this!! The snail shells gave me the PERFECT idea for a Junji Ito themed enclosure to give my Skeleton-leg T named Souichi 🐌☠️🕷

[@marieball552]

Good luck I hope you win, I voted for you. Richard just seems to put far too much substrate in and basically just hid the cork bark, you however spent time on yours adding the moss into the cracks which made it look so beautifully natural.

[@kitsune0rei]

+10 points for asking petstore employees for old snail shells to reuse :D I love how you guys made a challenge between each other, it was fun watching you both! I think folks don't realize you've upped your enclosure game. A couple of the right minis make it stand out. I personally like to put those little Japanese blind box toys in mine sometimes, but I still mostly do naturalistic. My Chaco Golden Knee is currently in "Malificent's Forest", it has little Malificent and dragon figures, a nice central tree of spider wood, some leaves, moss, and crystals, and a cork bark cave that he happily spends his time in.

[@kismitj]

love how this turned out! gives me ideas for the next habitat set up i have

[@julianbernal9705]

I always try to make cute little enclosures like this with rocks and bark from my yard and beaches cuz I can’t afford to buy decorations and hides. (always disinfected before using) and no matter how pretty I think mine are you make me realize I gotta step my game up.

[@debishere9060]

Kat,I love this only thing I would have added was maybe 2 Fairies peeking thru the plants.. awesome job!!

[@pythonparis]

Gorgeous build, BUT can’t believe you missed the sand for texture! 😉 Best line, “and be majestic and s**t”. Lol Would love to see more builds like this.

[@WilderhopeAdventures]

Watched both and both great enclosures for a couple of spicey spiders. But this one just felt epic and lovely...and something I want to do for my C. versi when it gets bigger. You got my vote

[@tiffanystokes2046]

Love the enclosure!!! I watched both videos and yours is way better. He did do a good job don’t get me wrong but yours just has more imagination and thought put into it. Great job! I tried to vote but it said it wasn’t taking anymore votes so I was a little too late in watching your video!

[@mully107]

Kat, both my comments mentioned how much I absolutely love your channel. Nothing but ❤❤❤. Great build

[@tarantulakat]

you are all good hahaha - it's just for fun

[@tarantulacollective]

[@Bree-Z-4]

I just watched both and you both did such a good job DX they match your personalities perfectly lol

[@Gothicgirl1122x]

Love ur hard work the enclosure look great got my vote

[@Spoodyliscious]

This enclosure is stunning I think you should do all enclosures yo this standard its looks like a fairy forest

[@percythecryptid]

spite is the most powerful motivator.

[@chaceduma]

by far the coolest enclosure ive ever seen... omg ...

[@NihonNoMajin]

This gives me some ideas 🤔. It is getting close to Halloween and I do love my dark, horror, gothy thingies! Perhaps alottle haunted house, some skulls, and things. The way my bottle blue webs up her enclosure would make it look amazzzzzing

[@JEREMIAHS_TARANTULAS]

Wow, that tarantula is a little hair kicking machine. I’ve never seen one kick that much. At least not mine anyway. Also that’s a beautiful enclosure.

[@seanolson7602]

Amazing cage . The Pink foot looks so amazing in here

[@ironmammoth7]

Kind of odd that I watch both you and Richard, yet never had a T or really plan to get a T. We have had jumping spiders and have an enclosure ready if one wants to spend the winter with us and free crickets. I think you both did a great job!

[@adelheide1005]

5:40 I agree. I also need more mushrooms.

[@jessxoxo0317]

Voted for you, the mushrooms were just *chefs kiss* 😍🍄 I did watch both videos fully before deciding.

[@kaotic300]

i love seeing the crossovers between you two! 🕷🐱&🕷💀 as a human, i love the goth look of richard's enclosure; but i also have the feeling that most spiders would rather be in kat's enclosure if given the choice because of the hiding spots. awesome job both of you! 🕷🕷

[@bluequiltedness]

You really brought your A game when challenged! Richard makes awesome enclosures, but he kind of phoned it in this time. You sealed the deal by wetting down the substrate and filling the water dish *before* the rehousing! - something he did not do

[@mthirion94]

I love you with all of me 😭 keep up the amazing content. You're perfect and I love seeing the little babies 🥺🥰

[@melissasyard1212]

It really does look like a fairy tale! Love it, gonna go watch Richards and then vote!

[@FallonZoey]

You and Richard have 2 completely different styles, so there is no comparison. You are both winners to me. You have inspired my way of decorating enclosures. I love the natural look you usually go for. You always have nice pieces of unique wood, be it cholla or cork. And you always throw in cute crystals... I actually can't believe you made this fairy garden type enclosure and did add any CRYSTALS!! And speaking of Petsmart Thrive brand green moss, have you seen the green moss vines? You have to get some for jumper/arboreal sling enclosures bc its awesome! You can cut it into whatever size you want and bend it into a spiral or loop for jumpers to climb on. Look for it next time you go to Petsmart.

[@eerdman5]

Awesome video! You did an great job! I’ve been watching your content and other tarantula keepers since 2020. I watched a lot of animal planet growing up, so it gives that but in a more authentic way? Definitely binged a lot of your videos 😂🥳

[@elizabethdurocher8308]
