When you asked “do i have one of these” about the verdezi i was like “yeah u do” that was legit when I realized i have no life 😂😂😂😂

[@spiderseb]

Loving the hair!

[@tarantulakat]

Spider Seb thank YES u need a tarantula lol. Outside of just animal crossing d:

[@spiderseb]

@@tarantulakat Not long until my move! Once I'm all set up in my new crib, I will for sure!

[@chloewright1]

I can really hear in your voice how excited you are! I've been wanting to get a smithi for ages but they're so hard to get hold of here in the UK.

[@katieellis13]

My very first t just got delivered while I was watching! My brand new g. Pulchra is alive and well! :)

[@tarantulakat]

whoa congrats :)

[@ricknesar1627]

B Smithi is so beautiful! That species will always be my favorite! It was the first species I ever saw in a movie when I was a kid and when I think about the word, "tarantula" the B Smithi is the first thing that comes up in my mind. Thanks for sharing!

[@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke]

Back when I was actively keeping Ts, we call the new smithi the Brachypelma Annitha.

[@jaschabull2365]

Can I just say I love your hair in this one? I started the video and immediately had to comment on it, such a great do. Also, wow, that's one thicc smithi there!

[@SuperLoops]

wow that smithi is beautiful 😍 theres a 100% way to tell which you have even if you dont have two to compare or w/e bcus both colour banded leg sections of a smithi have orange in them, but in a hamorii only the top coloured section actually has orange. if you look at the lower section you can see its a cream colour w/ no orange also I think you will rly like the albiceps theyre so nice to look at and mine is super docile and friendly

[@edgufler1122]

Love the video and all three of these new Tarantulas look great. Thank you Kat for uploading and sharing these videos, they're fun to watch.

[@katelillo1932]

Aww the Smithi is so cute and chubby. I hope you’ll give her a name since she’s kind of a special addition to your spider family 😊

[@tarantulakat]

yes forgot to mention her name is Luna

[@exoticcave7179]

I had my dream t,it's a Arizona blonde, thanks tarantula Kay👍😉

[@miasanimaladventuresyates8871]

It’s tarantula kat

[@cassieclover99]

my dream t from the beginning was an Arizona Blonde! finally got my Arizona Blonde, Brownie, as my first tarantula almost a year ago now! ^.^ she just molted in my care about 3 weeks ago and 99% sure she's a female😁 she's amazing and I love her so much. excellent choice!!!

[@adventuresofmoonman]

@Adrian B not vanilla. Very hard to get if not in USA

[@taytaymarie92]

So nice to hear they molt slow even as slings! I have a Smithi sling and it molts soooo slow ❤️ thanks for the vid! I’m happy to finally understand the difference

[@Sam_R88]

Just so you know, the carapace pattern can change between the same species of each so it’s not a great determinator of which species is which; the knees are best to check for species difference

[@conan84cowen94]

Which are?

[@skyhuntxr]

@@conan84cowen94 Watch tarantulatowns Video about it

[@chapstickwarrior9277]

That smithi is gorgeous! Such a perfect looking tarantula. She reminds me of the one in Animal Crossing too lol

[@AUZlE]

That's what I thought, the Smithi looks like what a Red Knee would look like if someone drew up the perfect Smithi themselves.

[@austinmilich648]

The smithi has darker orange than the hamorii in my opinion. Also I’ve seen the smithi be called the giant Mexican Red knee and the hamorii the Mexican red knee.

[@laurabaumeister1826]

Yes. Our pet store T. supplier calls the Smithi a "Giant Mexican Red Knee" and the Hamorii just a Mexican red- knee

[@lizmcneil5617]

Your hair is super cute! Thank you for a very informative video! The Hamoriis are so beautiful!

[@mostlytanks447]

She’s beautiful!!! Love her, I cannot imagine how excited you are! Happy keeping :)

[@chantraotep]

I love love love this video. Your new ones are so cute- all of them!!! Your smithi is beautiful

[@tirzah9929]

I have a brachypelma smithi on the way, and I couldn’t be more excited. There aren’t too many videos on them in the hobby. Love all your vids on her

[@justinellis8864]

Thanks so much for this video! I really really wanted to see a hamorii and a smithii next to one another for comparison and you're the first person i know of that's done it. So helpful, so interesting , so beautiful. Thanks Kat! Justin UK

[@heathbates2220]

Beautiful! I got a verdezi from them. Such a great vendor. I love nate he's an awesome dude!

[@Cashmeres_Chaos]

I am getting a brachypelma hamorii very soon and am really excited

[@debbiiletchworth3920]

Awesome video, I want one too!!! One of my favorites tarantulas ever!!!

[@trishhamilton6550]

Such adorable babies! And such a beautiful Smithi. ❤️

[@briansundstrom5840]

Great job on giving someone info on the Smithi and the other one. Especially since I am relatively new to the hobby.

[@pale9819]

B Smithi is definetely one of the coolest looking tarantulas and their red colorations look pretty.

[@michaelbailey747]

Love the Smithi, congrats Kat 🕸🕷🕸👍👍

[@angela_tarantulas]

Very beautiful new Ts 😍 I have 2 Brachypelma, 1 hamorii and 1 emilia and I really love them. Your B. smithi is absolutely stunning, congratulations to that girl 😍

[@aphiliarachno]

What a beauty! And an albiceps as additional surprise is also awesome. I wish the easter bunny would bring me the same.

[@megsss3872]

I love your hair it looks adorable like that!!! 🖤🖤

[@curthatt6461]

The smithi is beautiful! Nice to get a $400 spider. I hope everything goes well and we get to enjoy seeing it more often. Great video!

[@gn0stica536]

She's breathtakingly beautiful. The coloration is stunning. And so calm!

[@justinellis8864]

Hey Kat. thanks again! Further to my comment 1 week ago. You've really helped me take the plunge. My first ever 2 slings arrived this morning! A 1.4cm/ 1/2 inch B. hamorii (£7) & after months of research i found a 1.9cm / 9/10 inch B. smithi (£16). Both advertised as 1cm, so i think i've lucky! Terrified I won't know how to look after them properly, having only had one adult female G porteri 29 years ago! When i went to Uni I couldn't take her, so sold her back to the pet shop. Mind you, she'd become so so so defensive it was impossible to pick her up after 6 months as she used to turn around and bite my pen! THanks again for your great advice and expertise Kat. Justin UK

[@maryescamilla9620]

Thank you for posting the comparison.

[@tanyadiedrich7851]

Really awesome video! That was such a beautiful T and those babies...I mean, they are always the cutest little things.

[@renv5559]

I still can’t get over how gorgeous that smithi is 😍

[@Rennisfun]

My b. Smithi baby will be here this Friday, my very first tarantula and I’m so excited 😊

[@leenoone5659]

Thanks for this I'm coming back into the hobby and was confused with it. I thought it was just a name change and they was still the same species. I would never have known without seeing this

[@exq2er518]

I love the New Intro!

[@MaMaGrizzlie1956]

You're right Kat it is so you and that hair just tops off the outfit. Congrats on your new tarantulas I love them. I may have to buy one and send it to you to raise and keep for me since I'm getting a little older I really don't have the energy to chase a spider around the house but let me know what your thoughts are on that. And we could decide together what to get since you'd be taking care of it and I would even buy a house for it.

[@meaganmahoney4646]

Stunning!!

[@victoriacorrao4355]

Ya love the hair !! I could never own or even touch one of those things... too scared haha but very entertaining to watch/learn about !

[@pauls5745]

love the influx of T. verdezi. I think I have 3 now .75 -1.5" They seem overall very peaceful even as slings. Many vendors jumped at the chance for this Mexi import. Hopefully CBB's of all Brachys and Tlitocatls will will soon eliminate the need for any WC's

[@MrWhitefeather93]

I'm so jealous Kat. She is gorgeous!!! I have two Hamorii and to complete my brachy collection all I want is a real Smithi and an Auratum. Congrats!

[@tarantulakat]

Josh'N' With Nature I neeeeeed an auratum too

Thanks for mentioning microwilderness.com because I’ve been searching for more reputable T breeders near me just so the Ts don’t have to travel so far and have a prices are crazy reasonable! I also finally went and followed u on insta today! Thanks for always being you Kat! Also, you should wear your hair down more often, it looks natural beautiful.

nice! I spent a lot of time at the micro wilderness booth at the reptile expo I recently went to. the guy that I was talking to was super cool, I think his name was Nate but I could be mistaken. they're semi local to me so definitely gonna pick something up from them once this is all over
