JUMPING SPIDER VS VELVET SPIDER (Chai and Wednesday updates)

@@ronaldmcdonald4839 the cold isn’t going to hurt them if they are from that area surely 🤔

[@NMW80]

@@pearlfields1648 I’m sure if they are from that area they will be just fine outside and I would have done the same. It’s not going to be able to eat much inside so it’s best to put them somewhere outside where they can get food.

Exactly and they are much more friendly and interactive than the other spiders

[@effy_kujo]

I kept it paused for a very long time and I still can't see the ogre spider LOL

[@emitorresbun]

Same like??? I know it's legs look like the sticks but I don't understand where the body is or what is actually the spider

[@lovebug9386]

It took me a second to see it but I believe it's to the left of the twig... You can see what looks like 2 legs hanging down that aren't really connected to the actual twig if that makes sense?

[@ninjawolfgirl2061]

Even with these few clues I still can’t find it

[@FOEKROKA]

@@ninjawolfgirl2061 do you see those 2 smaller sticks in the shape of an upside down V? those are it's front 2 legs that connect to its body. One of its back legs is sticking straight up mimicing a branch and the other one is curled towards the branch.

[@musicismydelightblog]

I'm arachnophobic but I'm trying to get over this irrational fear by learning about different types of spiders. Now I must say Wednesday looks different than other spiders, for me she looks way more friendly that other species and is pretty similar to spiders portrayed in cartoons. Somehow that makes her not just beautiful but also safe. Like, I could be around a Velvet spider in real life and not panicking. You have beautiful pets but she's definitely my pick for cutie ❤️

[@kitsune0rei]

Velvets look so soft and thick, but jumpers win overall. So sweet and fuzzy! The way they look at you! All their different personalities! I'd rather have a spider who likes to explore and you actually see out. I think if you have jumpers, you should have several (unless you have other spiders.) Then you won't stress as much when your jumper decides to disappear in their hammock for a week. You just have to be prepared for heartbreak. Jumpers can die for no reason, and you will have to deal with elderly spider care. Spookie Boo, my first jumper, gifted me with babies and then passed. I cried, but I've enjoyed raising her children. They're almost old enough to continue her legacy in another generation.

[@joppek77]

Ooof. Choosing between jumping spiders and velvet spiders is like trying to decide which is cutest: a baby bunny or a kitten. I mean, they're both absolutely adorable! I don't think I can decide.

[@C.J_131]

I honestly can’t decide who is more adorable! ❤️

[@onelessthing]

Agreed! Same! ❤️

[@traemarie3623]

I was terrified of spiders. Seriously terrified. I started watching your videos and others and have learned. Now I’m not so scared. Knowledge definitely changes things. If I find a spider in my house I don’t squish it anymore, I move them back outside. That’s huge for me lol.

[@mcallahk]

Disappointed that you didn't say that Chai had "so much to do, so much to see..." Haha, I've been thinking about getting a jumping spider, I think they're super cute and I'm interested in how intelligent they are.

What do you think Chai is, a Deinopis?

[@graffiti_bunny8808]

Been watching your vids for a while now and actually have gotten me interested in caring for spiders. Want a tarantula in the future, but do want to start with jumping spiders, they’re my favorite.

[@dia21534]

how did you overcome your fear? i think i am slowly losing my fear after watching a lot of these videos (because these spiders really are interesting haha) but i feel like i still don't want to meet them in real life, even if they are kept safe inside their inclosure... i'm still really interested in these jumping spiders because of their personality and their cute face but stiiiiill... did you get one before your fear was completely gone or did you wait until you were fully ready? because i'm so interested and it would be so cool to have a little buddy like that!

[@Fluffy_Arachnid]

@@dia21534 I have 3 regal jumping spiders myself, pretty scared of spiders in general but since owning and taking care of them for about 3 months now, I adore and watch them all the time.

3 years later, I finally have my velvet spider and I thank you for inspiring me to get one. I use to be so scared of spiders in general but now I’m slowly becoming more comfortable. I chose velvet spiders to be my first experience at keeping a spider as a pet, and I love it so much. They are super chill and so passive. I literally overcame my fear of arachnids because of them.

Kat: "Do you thing velvet spiders are cuters or jumping spiders?" Me: "YES!"

I've seen these velvet spiderlings going for like £15 (plus shipping) in the UK on eBay and I thought they were some of the most adorable looking things.

I love tarantulas so automatically i like big spiders so i think velvet spiders are for me, but im also conflicted because of how adorable jumping spiders are

[@executivebexley252]

Here in the UK our velvet spider, Eresus cinnaberinus, the ladybird spider was thought to be extinct til 2 individuals were found in 1979 and now they are protected and have full time people who find them and put them together in the "secret" half acre patch of Dorset Heath they all live on, the whole species (in the UK). That's crazy isn't it!!

[@tarantulacollective]

man I LOVE that velvet spider...it is so cool!

[@sarahj8039]

Love to see jumping spiders again on your channel! Sadly my phidippus audax Esmeralda passed away a few months ago. She was a big girl and I think her time had come naturally, but I love to these cute lil hairy guys☺️ Keep up your awesomeness Kat!

[@alphazunitee]

I think both spiders are cute in their own way! Jumping spiders are so tiny, but animated and I adore watching videos about them when they interact with a person outside in the wild - they are adorable! Also, I watched jumping spiders dance and they have moves (they had colorful bums, so i think they were peacock spiders, but they looked like jumping spider, so I'm not sure if they are the close cousins or just from different place - I'm not a spider keeper, besides being friendly with wild spiders under my bed haha). But velvet spiders have such a beautiful, velvety "fur", are black and their eyes are feline like almost. I can't decide :)

[@itsmee6630]

Both of their little faces are adorable! But i’d probably get a velvet spider just because I have jumping ones all around my house lol

As adorable as velvet spiders are, jumping spiders have my heart!

[@midgematic8659]

Jumping spiders are so FREAKIN CUTE!!! I want one so badly they are best friend shaped 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@cattfishing]

I just learned, or saw what velvet spiders natural habitat looks like and I was completely shocked to see that they live in an almost boggy type environment. I'm guessing that's why she like that moss so much. Their entire floor is covered in different mosses. Mostly reindeer moss. it's not a completely soggy wet bog. But it definitely is a more damp environment. Damp and green. Burrowing into peat and using moss to build into her web structure. It was absolutely exciting to see. Your enclosure for her was the closest to matching her natural habitat. This video was so informative and entertaining as well. So glad to have found your channel. Edit: I wanted to add that their habitat looks exactly like a hobbit homes setting.lol very bright green with pops of color from flowers thru out the landscape. Almost magical.lol

That track at the end was a banger! Love that synth! The jumpers and velvets are too cute, can't pick.

I have a phidippus audax and he's pretty adorable.

[@thehunterstruck]

I love jumpers because they’re super intelligent and have cool little personalities almost like a dog or a cat with 8 legs. I saw a video in a spider group I’m in that had a jumper moving in on a fly and it caught the fly so quick that if you blinked you’d miss it. I live all spiders alone to do their thing, found a couple of widows this year for the first time in forever. We only have the two medically significant spiders being the Black Widow and Brown Recluse but being bit by either one of them is pretty rare.

I got really lucky and got a gandanameno sp. Velvet spider a few months ago. She's my first pet spider and man I love her so much. I dont get to see her too often but she comes out for me when she eats. I'd love to keep more species in the future, they're just so awesome!

[@lillyh3447]

Saw someone make a really cool food puzzle for their jumper, something where it had to find an opening to fit through to access prey. They're definitely more intelligent than most insects, make sense to exercise them mentally!

[@kittykougarkoch]

Jumpers, I luv the things. Long ago, they would hang out around my home, getting fat on the bugs around my flowers, I didn't use poison, just encouraged the good things. Jumpers love that, I would see some as big as my thumb (the body). My sister and I would visit each others house and before the other would go home, we would check out the garden to see what size jumpers were hanging out. My boyfriend at the time thought I was crazy. Nope, just luv the jumpers.

Jumping spiders are the only ones i am not at all afraid of, i actually have at least 4 in my " spider flower corner " . They are the only spiders allowed to live in my house, the rest we catch and release outside. I would get one to keep as a pet but the lifespan stopes me. The velvet looks cute too but her butt creeps me out :D One day i will get a Seladonia, from all the tarantulas i think it is my favorite and i am the least afraid of .

I have an Eresus. She's still a little sling but she's super cute. I can't wait till she's big enough to eat things other than fruit flies as they're not as commonly sold in pet stores in my area. I'm also in the (midwest) US so it definitely took months to find anyone selling them and they were not cheap. I was terrified when I got her that she might die when I saw how tiny she was because again, not a cheap spood. I've had her for only about 3-4 months and she's gotten quite a bit bigger in that time and is more hardy than I gave her credit for. Absolutely love her! I definitely haven't seen her much though because she stays in her web burrow. I've also had a phiddipus regius and I adore them as well so it's a hard choice.

There is a jumping spider somewhere in my room, and I am pretty sure it has been responsible for keeping the sac spiders at bay as I haven't seen a single one yet this winter...so far, at least. I'd have put it outside, but it was too cold so I just let it chill. I've kept several species of them before and love them. The velvet spider is still super cool though.
