Mr. Tarantula kat thinks we should name him Gumbo or Étouffée. What do you think?

[@Lili_Th_Kiki]

I prefer Gumbo... "Étouffée" makes me feel strange because it is French and the meaning of the word is quite negative. Unless Mr. Tarantula Kat is talking about cooking? 😅 I suggest "Blue" as in his claws 🖤

[@tarantulakat]

@@Lili_Th_Kiki yes it’s a dish often made with crawfish lol. Good to know!

[@spiderseb]

How about Pinchie lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKbRiJd-eM-Vf5o

[@Lisa-eu9fy]

Gumbo!👍♥️

[@angela_tarantulas]

Bubba Gump 🥰

[@cosmirynn]

LEONARDO DA PINCHI FOR A NAME?! It's so cute, I'm glad the convention went great!

[@sandywalter9728]

LOVE THAT NAME!!!

[@SherelleColourless-Blue]

My partners gma (81) does not understand my love for these creatures but your videos have made my hobby fun for her. She gifted me an amethyst rock specifically to decorate my C. versicolor enclosure and it melted my heart that she purposely tried to match the esthetic of my spooder. Thank you Kat for your content. ☺️

[@tarantulakat]

I love that!!

[@autarisanimalhouse.2480]

Love this!!

[@brianaglenn3706]

Me: "Okay shes going to show the non-alive things" Kat: Proceeds to show live plants! LMAO I love Kat so much. 😆

[@gorgha3988]

Kat: Dangerous spiders, snakes, lizards and a turtle that can bite my hand off? Let's do it! Also Kat: Tiny harmless mini lobster? OMG SAVE ME. :🤣

[@lynnettecook6973]

Hi Kat!! I'm happy you have a pet crawdad!! Just a little trivia, they have to come out of the water sometimes. It re-hardens their shells. If you don't let him come out, he will die 😞That's why mine died. His name was Sebastian after the Little Mermaid character. Also, he will eat just about anything he can get a hold of. Mine loved bacon, yes, I gave him raw bacon. Try a piece of dog food and he will probably eat that up too. They all have different personalities as with tarantulas. Also, you can place your hands behind his head and he won't be able to pinch you. They are fantastic cleaners for fish tanks and fun to watch. If you put him in with fish, he will eat them if he can catch them, so watch out!!! Enjoy!!!!!! 🙂

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

Would you suggest lowering the water level enough to place a turtle dock if it's a tank set up like this?

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

The new crayfish is so cute!! I would maybe lower the water a level a bit and put a log or rock in that sits above the surface so he can get out of the water once in awhile. I had pet crabs once and didn't realize they needed to come out of the water occasionally, so every time they crawled up to the top I would tap them back into the water. Obviously they didn't last very long and I felt SO BAD when I found out why!😳

[@Reptiliatus]

I think Gumbo is a great name! Also, you should ask Gumbo to mow your lawn since he seems to enjoy cutting and eating grass :P!

[@aaronpreston47]

The reason for bubbles is that it’s expressing air trapped in its shell from being out of water. Totally normal.

[@-leezha-]

crawdad was really out here like "DONT TOUCH ME DONT EAT ME BACK OFF!!! wait a sec whas this...? aw shi this is actually sick- new digs!"

[@theoistrying9904]

Hi Kat, the crawfish needs a spot to climb up and dry to be able to reharden the shell. Please provide this to make him live a long happy life

[@cathyb1273]

Hi, Now that you have a ”grumpy” crayfish, 😉, I thought that you may be interested by Brady Brandwood channel (same name). About a year ago he bought a lobster from a grocery store to give him a second chance, he named him Leon. I found his channel completely by accident and I never thought that seeing a lobster thriving in a huge aquarium would be so fun to watch. Those critters are really smart. Voilà, voilà ! It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. 🙂

[@pattykochenower4222]

Yes I loved his channel with Leon!!! 🦞

[@pattykochenower4222]

Yes I loved his channel with Leon!!! 🦞

[@SincerelySpiders]

10:38 “stop that we’re not done yet!” Lmfaooo 😂😂😂

[@mantisgod237]

That little foo was tryin to throw hands! 🦐🤣

[@nightshadeshadowlilly6095]

I've been watching you for a while now. And let me tell you, that in itself is a feat. I never had a huge fear of spiders until I was 8 months pregnant with my son, and our friend got drunk on his birthday. His present was a beautiful rose hair. Where it went south, was he pinned me in a corner trying to get me to hold her. I broke down, and had a panic attack that landed me in the hospital. Afterwards, the word spider would throw me into a fit. But I slowly started watching around the same time I started watching Ants Canada. I would start with just a few minutes. Now, I can watch multiple videos of yours, and appreciate your babies for their beauty. Thank you for helping me reclaim my love of gorgeous critters!

[@GirlofCulture]

These Expo's are super cool, great pick-up's. Awesome tank indeed, super cute as always. And it should be Mr. Étouffée. Sounds more fancy.

[@kaciek6893]

I remember that for some reason we had crawfish in third grade. I don’t remember why we had them but I think it might’ve been to learn about their lifecycle.

[@DerArbeitsloswHaiderIX]

I just wanted to thank you, you got my mom so far away from her phobia, she can even watch some tarantulas you get by now. She love your calm way to handle spoods - and she loves you personaly. We even got 2 jumpers by now and a regius is on the horizon once mina, our first one will pass one day.

[@RavenDunbar]

I'm glad your first vending experience was great! And I'm super happy to see you got yourself a pet crawdad. The tank set up looks adorable! I think it would be neat if you add a few minnows or something to it! They'd love a set up like that! I always love seeing your new pets and you old ones too!

[@kevinpoe8137]

That crayfish will have everything rearranged by the end of the week 😂

[@tarantulakat]

Try a few hours smh 😂

[@georgehill3338]

Nah the way he got plucked out of there 😂

[@nikkic0509]

Wow... you sold so many of the baby jumpers. Happy for you, I’m know that was a lot of work getting them ready. It doesn’t surprise me, that you sold so many.

[@lizzyrbits1283]

IN HIS LITTLE WIZARD HUT!!! I think Etouffee is perfect!

[@taco301]

You being scared of that little fellow is the best thing yet. 😂😂😂😂 not trying to be mean but it’s adorable

[@giavasis6061]

“First let me you show you some not alive things I got…” *grabs plants* Ma’am, I think the plants would like to have a word. 😅

[@tarantulakat]

WHEN I WAS EDITING I WAS LIKE OK BUT THEY KNOW WHAT I MEANT 💀

[@dawnfunck8928]

​@@tarantulakat 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But does it really bother us? Nooooo....

[@kylarose3740]

Definitely keep the tank lid on with no gaps for Mr. Yabbie because they can "swim" to the top of the tank and pull themselves out, speaking from experience we have had a couple decide to go for a walk about, lucky they make alot of noise on titles so easy to find The yabbie and tank itself is beautiful

[@TSUNAMI-MAMI]

You and Mr TK are so cute together

[@gabrielmaldonado7216]

Live video streams of crayfish swimming around doing it's thing lol

[@JocelynExotics]

"Why are bubbles coming out of its mouth" 😂🤣

[@LuckyStone888]

I once had a boring brown crawfish that after a molt turned a beautiful baby blue. I still don't know how it happened. She ended up escaping into my box turtle enclosure and became lunch, I was devastated.

[@tarantulakat]

Aww man yeah I heard they are escape artists so I’ve even paranoid lol. I have a lid I just need to scrape off the calcium and clean it better.

[@johnpowell351]

The aquarium for the crayfish looks amazing. Great job Kat. Regards, Joanne 🐺

[@sweetbeamie09]

I used to keep crayfish and some are awesome. My one Clauss was friendly over time, I could hold him and let other people pet him. He got to be about 7-8 inches and lived 6 years. He loved eating cherry tomatoes and shrimp pellets. I had a large rock he could walk through but also get on top of so he can get partly out of the water if he wanted to.

[@JackWolf-eb4ol]

As a former crawdad keeper/owner, I wish you well. They are endlessly fun. Don't keep them with fish, they will attack them!

[@mistywilson3520]

So cool! Love the new additions ❤

[@heidiburford]

Love the crawfish, so cool.

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@jasonmello7640]

I had to laugh such a big scoop for such a small crib, that crawfish looks awsome in that tank

[@lacatrina3251]

really so cute if you want you can name it mr. crabs

[@theoistrying9904]

I needed this with all the bad news lately 💛

[@JackWolf-eb4ol]

Cool Shirt!

[@themantisgarden]

Cool show Kat. Next one in 2 weeks for me over in England :) Good video.

[@nesekaba]

As someone who grew up catching crawdads, pinches never hurt. It was just a pinch. I just googled it and some people were saying they can break skin, so I guess it depends!

[@Drummer22544]

Wow that expo seems so much more chill than the one I went to in Philly like two months ago 😂 love the crawfish!

[@pattijareo7423]

What a great setup for the crawfish!! Very pretty! Welcome home, lil sling!

[@lelomiliken7598]

Whoooaaa!!! Pet crawfish was ready!! Ouch!!😖💥💥💥.

[@Rydor85]

ughhh thats so cool.. i should go to one of these things.

[@hobbithabits]

I just started giggling when i realized you put plants in its enclosure. I have no doubt it has monched all of those plants😂

[@brianna9734]

The Spyder Collector is great! I bought my H. devamatha from him at Reptilian Nation. Funny guy. 😊

[@danbachner4105]

They are such amazing pets, and so fun for small aquariums.

[@TSUNAMI-MAMI]

Ahhhh the lobster of fresh water!

[@Toni-td2qt]

Love your content Kat! Glad you had a great first vending experience! I love the Tarantula Cribs enclosures! It's a real shame they don't ship to the UK, I would have them for my 2 Jumping spiders in an instant!

[@ICSystem1944]

You'll prob need a bigger tank for that crayfish. They'll get bigger and they need a lot of walking space. I keep one. They will eat live plants. Also, when they pinch you it won't draw blood but it does hurt

[@derdickeda78]

Don't be afaid. It's just crawfish.😂 In my job i'm handling big lobsters. If you grab it right they can't harm you.😊

[@JonTheDestroyer]

I used to have a pet crawfish I got out of the ditch outside my house one rainy spring evening. My uncle put it in his fish tank and that sucker lived a good while

[@LucaThePanda]

I just got my 1st Tarantula last week, I'm so excited and happy about it, I've been wanting one for years! I got a Costa Rica zebra tarantula named Zero. 😁😁😁

[@heidiveronica]

Awe absolutely LOVE the baby Aphonopelma! What a cutie pie. And same with the crawfish!!! So so cool! 😍🦀❤️ I vote Bubba Gump or Gumbo. 😊 What happened the to the dwarf puffers? I remember you had those and they were so very precious. 💕

[@T-Beast-ti6by]

Larry that is the perfect name lmso I btw love your vids your the one who made me get into tarantula keeping ☺️

[@ashleymarquez7207]

Aww. I miss my crawfish. I raised mine from a little tiny baby. He lived for a long time and died of old age. He got huge. His name was big red and his gf was named Lacey. I hope your 'lobster' warms up to you. Mine use to love attention

[@amberderhone3029]

I love the new crawfish its so cute i was wondering if you was going to have any keychains in your store page my kid seen it and fell in love with them

[@Rydillon16]

@tarantulakat you need to do a petko and use a small waterbottle cut in half as a substrate scoop, can squeeze to fit into smaller openingss c;

[@juliealexander7948]

! not sure if you are already told this, but the bamboo-looking plants (yellow and green in the background) are not water plants, so you may want to keep an eye on them :) Also, he's so cute, I miss having crawfish, they're so personable!

[@jameshall432]

Hi from the UK.

[@marleyyates2995]

The crawfish looks sick, honestly wasnt expecting that either, the light in the tank reflects nicely on him/her

[@aylaburkett6314]

I wish you could come to Panama city Florida.

[@carsongarnett1700]

Crawfish are amazing pets. They eat like monsters and are so fun to watch!

[@dfermoy684]

I have a few micro tank with some different varieties of these guys! Finally! a creature we can share caring info on!

[@dfermoy684]

It will eat all of the plants.

[@user-lo7tg3uv8s]

I have to say I hated spiders until I started watching you and you have made them not so scary

[@NickHalder480]

You did a cute job at your table. I like you. And tarantula cribs too.

[@ConniieBearrr]

I wish I could of gone, just to meet you! But I live in the great north sadly

"Let me show you the not-alive things I got" - pulls out plants 😅

My crayfish is called Leon, or LeLe. He or she (not sure) is a mexican orange dwarf crayfish. They are awesome. Enjoy

[@kaotic300]

pinchy has its own little house in the bottom of the tank 🦞

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome Video Tarantula Kat how is bowser doing tarantula kat

[@electladynanci]

It's amazing to see that the crayfish takes the same defensive posture that taranhulas take when ticked. I'm sorry but I laughed out loud when I saw this. I say Gumbo is a great name.

[@billstokesbary6143]

Jelly of your monstera

[@ScubaX29]

Why is no one talking about that smooth as eff transition?

[@kill3rqu33n]

you should name the little guy ultra violet!!

Kat your so funny you have huge tarantulas you deal with every day. And your afraid of a cray fish 😂 you should call him Maurice that’s cute 🥰

What if he bites me!

[@michellegregory7878]

@@tarantulakat I know but be brave even though he did look angry 😡. But your tarantulas look more menacing when they do it 🥰

I had a blue crawfish for a couple years. I would hand feed him. I miss him.

Y'all need to give that mud bug a couple of buddies it's size. Cuz they will eat smaller ones. But it looks so lonely. 😔
