Unboxing SCARY! RECLUSE! and JUMPING SPIDER PAIRS with Mr. tarantula kat

[@survivalkitt]

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💗

[@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!

[@samhaines8228]

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

[@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.

[@randiLYNNEwolfe]

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

[@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 😬😂

[@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!

[@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??

[@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

[@karenstephens8788]

I’m in love with the turquoise fangs.

[@jbspinky69dude]

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

[@honeymoon4130]

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

[@cookiez132]

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

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!!!!!!

Congrats!! Happy birthday to you! 🥳

[@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

[@mariestubbs4606]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!!

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)?

[@RaVenAtti1982]

My name suggestion is JADE 🤗🤗 for the jumping spider due to her coloration on her fangs

I like the name Oreo for the second female …. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 so cute!

[@brianna9734]

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

[@juliesczesny90]

I've been bit by both brown recluse and black widows. I'm fortunate, in that I've identified the spiders, and either backed away from them, or captured them with a plastic container and a lid - released them where I didn't think anyone would bother them. Plus, typical bite stories, used benadryl. BUT - NOTHING beats the time I was exchanging batteries in my car, few years ago: Huge, adult black widow went racing up my arm, right after removing the dead battery! She then ran down my body, down my leg, down my shoe then into the grass! Seriously, people, they really don't want to harm anyone, don't block their escape!! Yes, I had to be as still as a statue, afraid of dropping the battery. It really felt like she was panicking, was terrified, and hoped that I wouldn't kill her! Seemed relieved, that I let her use me to escape. I was relieved, she did what I needed her to do.

Jumping spiders are awesome. I used to be afraid of spiders (not really afraid, I knew they couldn’t hurt me, I just thought they were gross) but now I like jumping spiders and tarantulas. I still don’t like the ones with long skinny legs like widows or cellar spiders, they still make my skin crawl, but I have a better respect for all spiders as a result, and yesterday I handled my first spider ever, a huge female tan jumping spider I found on my door and I absolutely love them now and want to keep some. I’ve seen lots of jumping spiders around my property including ant-mimic jumpers, zebra jumpers, a few bold jumpers, a flea jumper, and one brown one that I haven’t been able to identify, but mostly tan jumpers. The trick will be getting my parents to let me keep them. I’d like to do an experiment, and see which species is the best jumper for its size, maybe that would convince them, since I’d be learning. I do have a question though: if you keep them in a big jar for an enclosure, how do you keep them from making their nests in the top corner where they will get destroyed every time the lid is opened?

My dad deals with poor blood circulation due to blood clots in his legs. He got bit by a brown recluse 3 years ago and they didn't know that he got bit right away. They assumed the sore on his leg was from poor circulation. It wasn't until it grew to the size of a baseball that they realized it was a spider bite. It's 3 years later and since my dad has bad circulation he is still recovering.
