That beautiful female with the iridescent fangs should be Opal! Her body coloration is just like the rough exterior and the fangs remind me of a polished opal.

[@samhaines8228]

Nice selection! Opal does describe her.

[@johnnythompson3734]

Yes please name her opal

[@hippo8816]

You read my mind

[@imperialgirl4858]

100% accurate. She's beautiful ♥️

[@taylorgarton6983]

I was also thinking Opal or Prism! Great suggestion!

[@yunamishi7915]

We needa get Mr. tarantula kat a spider of his own, this was so wholesome to watch you two as a couple unbox and set up homes for these lil jumping cuties

[@Lsurah]

Aurora!! she's got northern lights in her fangs! Sanguine for the male cause it means blood orange and optimistic

[@MissPrincessP420]

I def said the same thing❤❤

[@blackrose538]

Love that idea! my name idea for the female was Emerald, though!

[@missdire]

The female jumper should be named Jade. That green is so gorgeous!! ETA: Someone suggested Opal and I think that's good. Someone else suggested Aurora (and Sanguine for the male) and I think those are perfect!

[@AussieBit451]

Lol I’m sure this is gonna sound dumb, but how to you pronounce “Sanguine”. Is it like San-gween? I LOVE Aurora!

[@missdire]

I suppose it depends on who you ask. The dictionary says "sang-gwn" but I've heard people pronounce it "san-gween" or "sayn-gween" (that's the one I go with too). P.S. Not dumb at all. The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

[@victoriareffin2429]

My OCD control freak could not handle my hubby decorating enclosures 😂😂 You guys need to have a build off competition! I absolutely adore my female texanus spiders, they’re sooo friendly and more inquisitive than all my other phidippus spiders💗

[@samhaines8228]

What a fine gentleman is Mr. Tarantula Kat. Well done good Sir! And what exciting additions to the invertebrate side of the family!

[@GothikSamurai1]

Speaking of nervous because "This one's faster" I got a P. Irminia today. The rehouse went much better than i expected honestly but I was hella nervous about the speed. It went for a bit of a walk about around the outside of it's enclosure but i managed to guide it inside and get the lid on. Cool to see Mr Tarantula Kat joining in the fun. Great video

[@katrla125]

I stuck mine in its enclosure, not planning on a rehouse anytime soon, I was sweating after dealing with it 😅😅

[@victoriareffin2429]

This is my bucket list tarantula but I getting told it’s not for beginners. I’d love one, but I don’t really fancy having to keep species of tarantula I don’t really want just so I can become experienced enough for this one 😢

[@GothikSamurai1]

@@victoriareffin2429 That was/is more or less me. I ended up just taking the plunge because I didn't think I'd ever have the funds and time to get the experience I felt would be helpful in making me truly comfortable with the speed/defensiveness with other species first. I ended up deciding just getting a small sling and adjusting to it as it grows was the best option for me. I originally planned to get an avicularia or two and maybe a P. Pulcher first (someone told me they were the Psalmopoeus they would personally to anyone nervous to get in to keeping Psalmopoeus species) but I really only wanted them first for experience with arboreal tarantulas. I also hadn't been keeping for a couple years until recently and had only kept slow moving terrestrials until pretty recently when I got my GBB. So far I don't regret just diving in the deep end and getting the P. Irminia but I'd never tell anyone else to do the same. Only you can decide where the comfort level is and when or if to go outside that a bit. I will say it's a bit nerve wracking here and there but so far the nervousness/dealing with the speed hasn't been as bad as I had convinced myself it would be. My next bucket list Tarantula is a E. Murinus.

[@GothikSamurai1]

@@katrla125 They apparently grow pretty fast so that could be quicker than one may prefer lol, I already rehoused mine once since this comment, not because it grew though. It was originally in a 32oz deli container enclosure but after a day or two in that I was like "nah man, I gotta get something I can see this spiderling through" because I was almost too afraid to open the deli container for fear it might be chilling unseen near the lid. 😅 So as soon as payday rolled around I ordered it an Acrylic juevenile enclosure from Jamie's Tarantulas. So now I can see better and know where it is before opening it, which has helped with my nervousness quite a bit.

[@victoriareffin2429]

@@GothikSamurai1 It would be great if I could just rehouse the sling once into its adult size enclosure on arrival and never have to do anything more than open a tiny gap to feed it 😂 I’m more worried that it makes a run for it and I end up freaking out and then aren’t able to catch it safely without scaring or hurting it. Or even worse I can’t find it once it’s escaped and I’m left with a rogue tarantula wandering round the house 😬😂

[@randiLYNNEwolfe]

I have no specific reason, I just love mr. t kat. Such a good vibe

[@Evavassilieva]

I'm in Love with the second jumping female!!!! Her colors are stunning!!! Anyway every of them are so beautiful! Great unboxing even if I'm not a fan of brown recluse lol

[@mjoverocker6072]

The jumping spiders are adorable 😍 and Mr. Tarantula Kat did an amazing job on his enclosures too!!

[@honeymoon4130]

7:24 the cutest moment ever 🥺 shes so gorgeous!!! I’d name her Ocean 🌊

[@joelanphier2982]

Mr. TK looks like a fellow giant! especially seeing his hands opening box he dwarves the box in comparison to you're hands! love it guys keep it up!

[@bugtalk84]

The thing I really like about Phidippus jumping spiders are those lovely iridescent chelicerae.

[@eaberrens]

The second male female set of jumping spiders that you unboxed should be called Jade for the female and citrine for the male. They are so beautiful and vibrant!

[@karenstephens8788]

I’m in love with the turquoise fangs.

[@Myriamele]

Oh my gosh, the way the 2nd female slowly came out like 'Hello? Um... hi? Oh... hello there... yes, hello, who are you?' Soooooo darned cute!!!!!!

[@cookiez132]

i love how Kat tied her hair up for the recluses 🤣😭

[@TaraAndFriends]

I'm terrified of spiders and found one in my hair while using the restroom... Very glad I can recognize the only 2 deadly spiders in my state to know it was neither of those 2...

[@keiraa28]

@@TaraAndFriends Oh god..

[@TaraAndFriends]

@@keiraa28 yeah it was horrible. I think it may have been a jumping spider though. Idk.

[@mariestubbs4606]

Great to see Mr Tarantula Kat and the jumping spiders are so cute and all the enclosures were great. Another brill vid ...

[@madisonmarie7834]

I got a Brazilian jewelled spidering today as an early birthday gift from my partner and I’m so I love with it Love your videos always need more ladies in the spider community

[@taylorgarton6983]

Congrats!! Happy birthday to you! 🥳

[@klarabarunovic9841]

15:48 I love how everyone was hanging around in the same corner 😂🥰

[@inkorrow9310]

I love the fangs on the female jumper, absolutely stunning. I just got my first jumping spider a few days ago (wild caught) and I used your channel as a main source of inspiration for his enclosure. He's still pretty small so its just a larger mayo jar with lots of holes (smaller than him). I'd love to see a lot more educational videos about jumping spider care, it seems very sparse when I was looking.

[@jessicapearson9479]

The female Jumping spider at 7:55 looks like she has a beautiful sea blue-green colour on her. My son said she should be named Neptune because of that colour....lols. Wonderful spiders. We have a common Hobo spider. Aiden named him Itsy Bitsy after the spider up the water spout song as Aiden calls it 😅. I enjoyed seeing you and your husband doing a video together. Would enjoy more videos of the two of you. Maybe you could do a letter/mail opening video regularly together. That would be really fun.

[@bessiebraveheart]

Hello from England, it's nice to meet Mr tarantula Kat. I've just had a very young female harpactira dictator baboon. She's like lightning. She escaped the other night. I'm old and rather frail, bur she decided to climb up the wall, so I was able to get a catch cup on her and return her to her enclosure, phew.

[@dramaminedream22]

I caught myself a baby jumper last Sunday. I have him/her all set up and it’s doing well. I have no idea which species it is though because we have Phiddipus Regius, Audax, and Texanus plus a few others. I would love a phiddipus Cardinalis though. They are gorgeous.

[@Coyolxauhqui3]

I caught myself one too the other day 😄 I was wondering what did u use for its home? I gave mine a few fruit flies and spritzed water in his cup last night and gave him a small fake succulent. What else is recommended??

[@Scarlet.Moon.Prince83]

The jumping males have absolutely gorgeous colors, I loved them! I suck at names, so I won't even try suggesting any. XD And I'd be terrified of those recluses, they're so leggy! O_o

[@rolandthethompsongunner64]

Terrified of those Recluses 😂

[@SolderMan22]

Here, in Argentina the brown recluse is frequent to see, (especially in abandoned houses or places like garages) as well as the Menemerus Semilimbatus (Salticidae) in parks and gardens. The Menemerus is a beauty, during the hot season (Spring and summer) I see them hunting in my backyard. Greetings!!

[@31Blythe]

Jasmine or Oolong would be cute names! Keeping with the tea theme 😊

[@jaschabull2365]

Is Texas in the part of the south that has sweet tea? Maybe name one of the texanus after it (like Sweetie or something)?

[@Bree-Z-4]

The male texanus reminds me of the bold reds on the ladybug velvet spiders. Excited to see there is such a bright colored jumping spider species in the states!

[@jbspinky69dude]

My ideas of some potential names for your new arrivals: Autumn dusk... Samhain... Lilith... Evve... Mabon... Litha... Magnolia.

[@laobejanegra926]

You two are ADORABLE Mrs. & Mr. Tarantula Kats!

[@imperialgirl4858]

Loved seeing Mr. TK as assistant!

[@jgscatsandthings5208]

Those jumping spiders and different species are so cute. I just hope I could get those in the UK. Including your other half in handling some of the housing and helping with the enclosures is pretty cool. Awesome video guys ☺️

[@wolfymudkips4266]

Yes you can get both in the UK, especially texanus

[@Kiera_1987]

I live in the UK, I've seen jumping spiders in the wild ( I say "wild" but I just mean round by my house 😅) but they are teeny tiny grey ones, maybe 5 millimetres in length

[@jgscatsandthings5208]

@@Kiera_1987 I know about the UK's zebra jumping spiders, I have caught a few of those. I'm after the newer type Kat got on her video. The Phidippus regius, and The hyllus diardi I have bought from stores in The UK, but not the ones Kat got.

​@@wolfymudkips4266

[@Leepbby]

Not to mention a DOZEN of velvet spiders also LOL🤣🤣🤣

[@lisabarrios6046]

Thank u Kat ❤️❤️❤️ because of you I'm no longer scared to death of spiders as much, I actually let the wild jumping spiders crawl on me now. 🥰

[@jerr.smithxo9759]

Your daughter is a spitting image of your hubby! I think the Female jumper with the blue/green fangs should be named Emerald! Another great video! 🖤🖤🖤🕷🕷

[@jennafibich6159]

Can I triple heart this video?!? I can’t believe we saw Tom Patterson’s face!! It’s like seeing a unicorn!!

[@lindseymarie7228]

The one with orange bum should be Pumpkin Spice, the cute one that was peeking out should be cream, then maybe the other two cinnamon and Hazelnut? Gotta keep the coffee/Latte theme!

[@-iceraptor-]

Lol I was going to ask how much u weigh Lol.. ( but I def won't) but only bcz all ur names are associated with food.. Lol.. cute names tho. But I'd def pick something else for spiders. I mean the food or coffee theme seems kind of lame to me, for spiders anyway.. imo

[@lindseymarie7228]

@@-iceraptor- her other jumping spiders were matcha, mocha, and chai. They’re all coffee drinks. Btw your comment was rude as hell. How much do you weight? Keep your rude ass comments to yourself. Making any comment about weight is uncalled for, just because my name ideas were coffee flavors. Jeez

[@taylorgarton6983]

Wow, those jumpers are stunning! Especially that female with the green / blue fangs and red / pink pedipalps! I am so in love with her!

I'm from the Netherlands, jumping spiders are very small here. Last time i saw a big one. I'm super duper afraid of spiders, but i caught this one to give it a better space then where he/she was. I think he/she is very happy now.

I think Sepia for the female texanus would be super adorable! The male is definitely a Cayenne (like the pepper). 😊

I have jumping spiders outside my house and on my deck. So cool to watch, they have so much personality and are so smart. Cute little guys. On my door there is a blind, flys get stuck trying to get out. So they buzz on the glass and kinda trapped by the blind. Often ill find a jumper hunting. I try not to mess up their lunch but is fun to watch. Ive wanted to trap one and keep it but they have a good setup outside ny house.. thanks for the vids kat

you always get the most unique little jumpers. I never knew there were males with the bright orange abdomen. I love tarantulas but can't resist the jumping spiders cute little faces. 🖤

Brown Recluses remind me so much of White-tailed spiders (Lampona); they're both fairly spindly, stripy legs and people have so many misconceptions about their bites.
