LIMITED Pixie Plushie: www.makeship.com/products/pixie-plush

[@mellewedin8221]

Pretty sure they both love their new enclosures🦂❤️

[@BethBTC]

I bought one. Lol. Thanks. Also got a C. elegans from Amy yesterday and omg they are so tiny. Omg. You think the seladonia is small?

[@cherifenton1182]

You should name the new scorpion Deimos ( sounds like dee-mows ) It's one of Mars moons. Because you said her enclosure reminded you of Mars. 😁

[@tarantulakat]

I like this idea!

[@beautyonabarnbudget]

That sounds like a great name! ❤️

[@JayTee95]

Idk why the first thing I thought of was dee-moos 🐄🐄🐄

[@speckbrain]

I was gonna suggest Mars or Phobos!

[@McPilch]

Yes! Now, let's get cracking on a Makeship Plushie of Deimos!!!

[@angela_tarantulas]

Beautiful goth lobster 🥰

[@Nomad_7777]

I love how she just slides to her hand then just stays like that

[@KittenCece]

The 3-5 seconds of her sitting on your hand, the awkward uncomfortable-ness was so palpable. XD I could feel both you and her being like 🫥😬😳 Lol thanks for always being awesome Kat. I ordered this plushie! Forever regretting not getting pumpkins plushie. :)

[@pattykochenower4222]

Lol I felt it too, and when she said “ I don’t know whose more uncomfortable now… I laughed !

[@lunesterv5802]

I just want to say that I love the care, patience, empathy, and love you have for your creepy crawlies. It's because of your content that I've become so much more comfortable with spiders and have worked through a lot of my fear.

[@nikkic0509]

Oh gosh she is so big. So funny “I believe we’re both a little uncomfortable right now.” I would have been more than a little afraid. They are both very interesting.

[@sarahhastings1486]

You're so brave for holding a scorpion! I don't think I'd be able to do it

[@TragicPoet]

I hope Trantuala kat gets a pseudoscorpion. It would be fun to see what kind of enclosure she would build for a tree stingerless creature like that

[@hyper8545]

Scorpions 🦂 are so cool Such a savage little thing.

[@OriginalDrGonzo]

Kat was that your husband's arm that he lifted in the back of your house at minute 6:04? Scared the crap out of me for a sec. I was like KAT HAS A GHOST.

[@kevinpoe8137]

It’s a shame that you can’t really find them anywhere anymore, no one really bred them and they were mostly wild caught, so when the imports dried up and stopped coming in, they suddenly became super hard to find

[@rockymountainreptilesllc]

Kat over here making beautiful enclosures making want a flat rock 🤣🤣

[@moqa_moonflower]

Name the unnamed Scorpion Rover :) You did say how the sand reminded you of Mars! :D

[@Jennifer-ir3cv]

Those plushies would fly off the shelf's at Walmart 🖤

[@brey1720]

It's so small, crazy but cute. Also love the coloring from the UV light on the bigger one. Love watching the switching of enclosures, so nice to see their upgrades ☺️

[@Dustblye]

Thank you. I have fallen in love with tarantulas, and I just got my first scorpion. I named Wasabi, and he is awesome. I have my first tarantula, a pink toe I named Reiner, so thank you!! I love your content. ♥🖤

[@thespartanscorpion2752]

Wooow Boooom! This is definitely one of the Scorpion Species that I want to have !!

[@codyjames1949]

Thats my baby! Im so glad you keep showin him off

[@GirlofCulture]

Dang what a big girl 💖 Love scorpions they look so wild and dangerous, but they are so pretty shy.

[@joannegalway1226]

Hey Kat! What awesome enclosures you’ve got for your scorpions! I love the Red substrate, the scorpions colour stands out better. Thanx for sharing this 💚🕷️xx

[@FLOWERSANDSUNSHINE22]

While living in Phoenix for a year, I had to use a blacklight any time I got up in the middle of the night. I checked my bed before getting in and I checked my shoes and shook my clothes prior to wearing. That being said, I lived in a brand new home and never saw ONE (including outside). My neighbors; however, could not say the same. Their home(s) were built on a burrowed highway and they had their fair share of "visitors". eeeeeeeekkkkk.

[@EFergDindrane]

YES! Scorpion content is what I live for. 💘🦂

[@SkyeSpider]

I’m so incredibly jealous! I’ve been trying to find one of those for my collection for more than a decade now. They never seem to be available when I can afford one. They’re such a cool species, and (if I remember correctly) are one of the longest living scorpion species.

[@voidbreather7405]

You should name the baby Pancake/Flapjack! 🥞

[@supahorse28]

You should name the new scorpion Charmander I love watching your videos

[@DanielReid88]

That’s a really great enclosure. The scorpion went straight for the rock. You are much braver than I am! 🦂

[@gregwilliams853]

I have a couple of these, the sting is less then a honey bee but they have a pretty decent pinch. I love scorpions

[@EFergDindrane]

I CANNOT WAIT FOR PIXIE PLUSH. I ordered her immediately.

[@Rat2rrj]

Loved scorpions since a vendor let me pet a blue one as a kid, fuzzy and scaley

[@McPilch]

The UV light is cool, but don't get carried away.. I use it to check on mine when I wanna see if they're out and about, and sometimes even if there's just a bit of leg visible through a gap near their hiding place they'll move it away after a short while. Pretty sure it doesn't "hurt" them lol just annoys them. I'm sure you know, but might be someone else reading who doesn't. 😅 Also "air plants" are a fantastic idea!! I use em, and they do great! Got em glued to a couple small rocks so I can take em out once a month or so and give em a dip, let em dry then put back. Also got a few small Arizona Snowcap cacti growing too, just have a small area of sand mixed with organic cacti soil mix, and water them roughly each month with a syringe around their base. Slow growers but doing fine, and really adds to the environment.

[@grrt722]

That enclosure is exactly what I need for my gbb once they grow a little. Too arboreal for top openings, but not too tall so I can keep it safe enough.

[@elizl2802]

Wow! She is truly beautiful and what an amazing new home!❤

[@Lisa-eu9fy]

Kat, you always do an awesome job with enclosers! Love it! 🥰🥰🥰

[@jaimem-portillo6781]

Maybe "Marvin" the Martian would work, since his enclosure resembles Mars. This is the first thing I thought of when you asked. It's weird since it's been years since I've even thought about that cartoon character.

[@mariestubbs4606]

What amazing creatures and the lil one is so cute, great vid Kat ...

[@michelleg1117]

This video came out at the perfect time. I just got my first scorpion on Sunday. This was great inspiration to better decorate his enclosure.

[@kirkvj8330]

Enclosure looks great!

[@thespartanscorpion2752]

Fun fact: Hadogenes means "the one who born from Hades" (Greek Underworld), Troglodytes means "living in caves".

[@tracywilde5263]

Wow, what difference in size. Love the enclosures x

[@Vinsedesign]

Panic! At the Disco rocks! Greetings from Russia!

[@kayladraper8073]

The light made me think of a rave and then your hat me think of a scorpion disco rave party. Maybe baby scorpion can be Disco.

[@JayTee95]

I really like the color of that sand! I don't think I would ever keep a scorpion because I'm not particularly interested in them, but I'd love to see one in person.

[@diegocella6791]

Since it's a desert species, i imagine that when you where holding her... complete silence... then a chaparral stumbled thru... and than a cricket chirping... that was awkward... but cute!

[@mkultra3194]

I freakin HATE spiders and insects but I like this channel. Weird how that works lol.

[@Goldiehorselover]

I personally don’t like scorpions but love your videos and tarantulas

[@deniserobinson8294]

That little one is so cute

[@EarthsGeomancer]

Notification crew checking in! ❤️

[@spike16965]

Love your Scorpion videos

[@jessicapearson9479]

I love that you put in an air plant! Beautiful setups!

[@Lisa-eu9fy]

Wow! Huge! 🦂💜🦂💜

[@uni-zs7gc]

you've somehow managed to spark a love in me for scorpions which i didn't know i had! through a couple of your scorpion videos i've realized that i'm not afraid of them at all for some reason which is kind of odd since i am still quite afraid of spiders and tarantulas (tho your videos have helped tons with that). now i'm really considering getting my first scorpion! loved the video :D

[@elizabethh9935]

They are secret agents.

[@unicornprincess8896]

I used to have an Emperor scorpion named Elvis

[@jonathanreid3574]

Totally awsome vidio tarantula kat thank you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@kayleighkroner9356]

I’m so sad that I just saw this video I went to the website and they were sold out!😭 guess I gotta keep notifications turned on haha

[@kirksealls1912]

I know the _Hadrurus arizonensis,_ or desert hairy scorpion, can be cohab’ed with blue death feigning beetles, might be an interesting experiment to cohab some with your adult flat rock scorpion. They act as a cleanup crew. As for a name for your scorpling, I’ll ask my brother-in-law if he has any suggestions; he’s South African, and might have a cool Afrikaans name. I just have to wait until it’s a decent hour for him to give him a call (he lives in Cape Town). Also, have you heard _Panic! At The Disco_ is disbanding after their current European / UK tour?

[@beautyonabarnbudget]

Pretty blue 💙 💙💙💙 girl!!!

[@MrPerry61]

how about SPECTRE from the 007 films

[@cynicallemonade1792]

I just went down a rabbit whole of what it takes to define a cube and found that I now believe that the 3d representation of a rectangle should be referred to as a cuboid. And that that is ok. It can be named other things but it isn't necessary 😂

[@prissilou]

It seemed like your scorpion liked her new "digs" pretty well...

[@BonnieBunny118]

Love your vids! You, Petko, Richard, exotics lair, etc inspired me to get into this hobby!

[@BrettOPediaTV]

that sand looks like Mars! friggin cool

[@tkuhel12]

I don’t know why, but the little scorpion looks like a Gunner to me.

[@michaeltaylor2449]

I have a young adult female Giant Flatrock STUNNING Scorpions but mine dont seem to be as calm as yours is I open her enclosure and her Stinger is waving about lol

[@brightbkh07]

Take the air plant out every now and then and totally soak it in water and it will be fine

[@rockowyimpresjonista]

Hello. Nice collection!

[@waynecummins9713]

Call it Taz

[@idkk3489]

Hi, I am a new subscriber and I've got to say I love your channel!!! everything you do is amazing, I am just so glad that I have come across your channel you are so cool! and hopefully one day I get to own a pet tarantula myself ahhh my parents are a little hesitant on the tarantula thing but hopefully I can get them to change their mind? lol fingers crossed

[@Bookspine5]

It's built like a tank.

[@Gr33nP1x13]

Scorpion name: Morticia (female) or Gomez (male).... You already have a Wednesday! (You need a Pugsley, Pubert, Lurch, Fester, Cousin It...... can you tell I adore Addams Family?.... plus, Wednesday had a pet scorpion, in the newest incarnation!) Edit: Sleepy puppers are PRECIOUS!!! (Mine is snoring behind me rn)

[@Mark-ci3kt]

you have too hold her now !

[@springchick24]

You should name it Mar--ly cause of mars!

[@sandywalter9728]

Name her Barb... for the stinger barb on her tail! 🖤🖤🖤

[@jgscatsandthings5208]

The enclosure for the flat rock is certainly looking good. I may get a flat rock at some point, could do with another species of scorpion 😁

[@tammyblankenship8742]

Loved seeing your scorpions. I have wanted one since I was a teenager and finally got my first one, an Asian forest scorpion, a few weeks ago and I am in love. I may have to look into getting an African flat rock now lol. Not sure if my bf will go for that. I had to do a lot of persuating for the one I have lol. Sadly, I'm gonna have to miss out on the plushie :( . Sadly, each time one gets released, we end up having unexpected bills so they get gone before I can order. Maybe one day I'll be able to get one. As always, awesome video.

[@dw.imaging]

Omg I want one. The scorpion that is.

[@mjoverocker6072]

Very cool enclosures!!!

[@knj6915]

Have you ever thought to set up a camera at night on her or any of your other critters to see if they’re more apt to come out then?

[@beautyonabarnbudget]

I knew you got 1 new🐶 . When did puppy #2 🐶 come? How 🤔 did I miss that?!?!

[@deniserobinson8294]

In the later part of last year, I can't remember the specific month though

[@deniserobinson8294]

Someone else said pancake 🥞 and I love it

[@meredithfangman2898]

i love your videos

[@santoroaquatics5038]

15 comment what is good kat awesome video today you are the best and the greatest ever I love seeing all of your amazing animals 💯👍💪💪👍💯👍💪 and Bowser the turtle is my favorite

[@sherrymackay3926]

I think Spud or Skip would be a great name!

[@cheeseburgerfries3986]

Skitter is a good name :)

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@jasonmello7640]

How about scatters for the new scorpion

[@abx42]

Speedy sounds like a good name.

[@valinkawaii6532]

I needed a tripophobia warning for this video 😂😅 Those logs creep me the f out 😢😅

[@PitsFam]

Those are cool! A nice alternative to the tropical Asian species, I actually prefer keeping arid over tropical for inverts. Are they hard to find? I haven’t ever seen them!

[@stevevaughn2040]

I knew an American in West Africa, think it was Liberia, who was a venom guy. He had cobra's, vipers, adders, those scorpions, and pet pythons or boas. They milk those scorpions! Good times. Lots of money in venom

[@beautyonabarnbudget]

For what? To make anti-venom?

[@stevevaughn2040]

@@beautyonabarnbudget Yes. Venom was worth more than gold. This guy would go to Florida a couple times a year and sell venom. It was interesting, not controlled like in US

[@stevevaughn2040]

I checked. Scorpion venom is used on human brain tumors.

[@beautyonabarnbudget]

@Steve Vaughn no shit? Dayum, learn something new everyday. 😊

[@brianlindsay9097]

I love flat rocks, but you just can't find them anymore. I never see them at shows or on breeder lists. Also, that enclosure looks really sharp!

[@jennafibich6159]

Very cool set up!

[@TheConnonedrum]

🦂 Scorpia from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

💙🌺 💙🌺 💙🌺 What did your friend end up naming his albino snapping turtle?

[@melissadanielle629]

So cool 😎 👌

[@gregwilliams853]

Mine are in 10 gallon fish tanks

[@MJRamirezVideo]

Fun video

[@xandermin]

they're so flat!!!! ❤
