They gave me a GRAVID JUMPING SPIDER and she LAID EGGS!.. Making a secure maternity enclosure

[@tarantulakat]

rewatching, I didn't like how messy the tape looked and all the folds, so I actually re-did that part to look better lol.

[@gazepskotzs4]

Did your beautiful new T eat her dinner?

[@andresbenavidez6830]

@tarantula kat Would I find you around the Saint Louis area? I really love how beautiful that jumper is and wouldn't mind a sling!

[@G0TH1C42009]

How much are you going to sell the babys?. Because I might buy one from you 😊

[@TheAlexstiles]

What kind of moss did you use for the bottom of the new mama’s enclosure?

[@brandimyhren6317]

Frog moss.

[@tarantulacribs]

Great timing, we just restocked the cubes! 🎉

[@LuckyStone888]

You could colab in a tiny sling cube for the baby jumpers when Kat is ready. "Offical Tarantula Kat Jumping Cribs" sell them at a premium, who cares if anyone complains about the price. I might be better if I kept my idea to myself, but I'm tires and chatting tonight.

[@shyspeaks9238]

​@LuckyStone888 Not sure if you played a part in it or not but they did collaborate recently and let out "Kat Pack Cribs" 😊

[@rainbowcuppycakex]

I know you don’t want to sell them at the size you did last time but I have 4 of yours from the last expo and they’re all still alive 🤣. I helicopter parented the heck out of them though checking on them everyday. Loved watching the little ant sized babies grow

[@tarantulakat]

I’m so glad to hear that!

[@Oaktheleafwing]

​@tarantulakat omg hi!!! I absolutely LOVE you channel and you are the reason I now am obsessed with jumping spiders ❤❤

[@Cool_Story_Bruh]

I do love Richard's cinematic editing, but I also love how casual you keep it. Every video feels like chilling in your living room talking about arachnids 💚🕷

[@lizarrrdbeth]

The spider makes a cool tent to put the egg sack in. Its liike she is camping out waiting for the wee ones to be born. Pretty darn cool!

[@051adam]

Small mushroom related things are starting to remind me of petko's sand texture thing... its awesome! I love it either way!

[@kismitj]

both of the new spiders are So pretty! and the tape hack is going to come in handy for me, i have a tiny b. baumgartni that needs an upgrade but is too smol for the ventilation in most of what i have. so thank you

[@StormbornGhost]

So I’m actually super afraid of spiders. Watching your videos has helped me become more educated on tarantulas and spiders in general. I’m still not ready to have any spider friends occupying my apartment; however, I enjoy watching your videos with all your spider buddies. 😊

[@McPilch]

That first spood OMG so stunning as a young-un and that picture of a mature one was the coolest looking T I've ever seen!! 😯😍 Look forward to the updates!!

[@HydiestFaith]

Me: terrified of spiders also me: watching these videos to desensitise!

[@ajabee2957]

Same, but it’s not working. However, I still watch the videos

[@Bunneh8002]

Jumping spiders are the best ^^

[@catastrophechris7375]

The very first jumping spider I brought home turned out to be gravid and laid an eggsac… twice! Since my spouses one rule was “no babies” I brought them to a reptile shop once they hatched 😅 it was quite an adventure that we weren’t expecting (even tho little Daphne was…expecting)

[@alineheiler7804]

It’s in the middle of the night here but I really have to watch this video before I go to bed 😄♥️

[@tarantulakat]

Good night!! 🌙

[@pattijareo7423]

I'm really beginning to fall in love with these little jumpers! You do make sweet enclosures, Miss Kitty!

[@zombieChorizo93]

Ahhhhh I love this! My Royal Regal Aurora's nest just finally came open and the babies are exploring

[@Courtneyeverage]

Haha she’s probably wondering why her “up” is now the down. Lol loved this soooo much!! Definitely something ill be looking into doing when my spoods are ready for little ones(:

[@tarantulakat]

I thought the same!

[@Courtneyeverage]

@@tarantulakat I think the way you have it she’s going to be a very comfortable momma. She has two layers of protections for her babies now cause of you 🥰

[@bugtalk84]

A gravid jumping spider laid lots of eggs, that's so lucky 😀😊

[@thevieadanac6115]

I love that the first spider was more interested in the tongs than the food.

[@hoibsh21]

Blue/black is my fave spider color.

[@VenomsDad]

Maybe useful but I use the breathable medical tape for bandages to cover vent holes in my isopod bins, keeps fungus gnats at bay. Could work for the bb spooders?

[@JocelynExotics]

I love my P. atrichomatus! the phormictopus species over all really, unfortunately likes to hide very often! but it makes the surprise sights so much more fun :') The colors they grow into are just beautiful.

[@ladyjessiecoyne2617]

Have you ever let your daughter make an spider home 😊 loved this video gorgeous lass as always huge huggles from Scotland uk 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤗

[@desertegle40cal]

LOL. Im 40 years old and I used to go to Jr Herpetology shows all the time where they would not only sell reptiles but spiders and scorpions as well. At every show, there would be a corner where a someone would be selling all of the reptile and insect enclosures. And MAN, have they really stepped it up over the years. Those awesome plexiglass enclosures with magnet tops. All we had back in the day were fish tanks and plastic temporary tanks that had the plastic snap on tops that would ALWAYS BREAK. Or the fish tanks that had a plastic top with a screen on it that would also break with minimal time and effort applied to the top and that would basically be the Achilles heel of those enclosures. Then you’d have to come up with some sort of temporary top so your creepy crawlies wouldn’t get out! I wish they had these magnet top enclosures back in the day when I was big into snakes and insects. I lost SO MANY animals because they would figure out how to get out, either cutting through the screen or pushing the top off. I had a python that actually broke the nails from an enclosure I build myself and got out into our walls and died and we had to cut him out.. It sucked 😢.

[@ishkajules]

4:55 Mommy spider go wheeeeeeee

[@debspencer9223]

I am so glad someone is finally talking about the Red Island. Be prepared it will grow FAST! Mine reached fbebinches after a year and their coloration is gorgeous as the become older! I love mine!

[@debspencer9223]

Five inches

[@debspencer9223]

They have a very aggressive feeding response! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Mine is female.

[@tarantulakat]

Awesome!! It’s so much fun already.

[@Cragmortis]

Raising jumper babies was so amazing.

[@stephanobartolone200]

i caught small jumper over the summer and the hole on my t-crib look loke it would be too big so i bought screen repair strips and it adheres pretty strongly then u dnt have to worry about them getting stuck to the tape and offers better ventilation

[@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030]

American jumping spiders are adorable. the UK jumpers are much smaller and have little zebra stripes [ where they get their name] but they are just as formidable at hunting

[@ravenviola7132]

This is off topic but I love ur animal crossing owl pillow in the background 😃

[@januk7725]

nice enclosure you always make pretty ones

Thank you! 🤍

Awesome Video Tarantula Kat good luck with the jumping spider egg sack tarantula kat

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

The new jumping spider's big enclosure is nice, but I kinda dig the "dead fly hanging from piece of moss" aesthetic she has going on in the little one😅

[@discospiders]

Phormictopus genus are all curious little explorers!

[@HrRezpatex]

Beside from the peacock spider, i think that is the cutest spider i have seen 🙂

[@michaelajankowski-sansom3790]

Hi Tarantula Kat. Hope you're well. This video was so cool to watch. I'm so excited for the babies to come out. Just wondering, the moss you use, is it real or fake? I'm a newbie to having a jumping spider and I get mixed advice about how their enclosures should be. If I put moss but no substrate what are the requirements that you recommend in terms of the moisture needed. I have two jumping spiders and they came with made up enclosures but I would like to do my own design. Take care. Michaela x

[@vanessaarroyo6]

Hey Kat , where did you get you magnets?? I saw it comes in a tin container , I was wondering where??

[@brandimyhren6317]

They grow fast. And change every molt. So I’ve heard.

[@kailyramos1689]

I would love to get a gravid jumper, I would also love to make a KZbin channel just based off of jumping spiders❤

[@rampantsarcasm2220]

Such Beautiful Tarantulas x ❤

[@jonathanreid3574]

Totally awsome!!!!!!!!!

[@Jinx-us2rz]

Super cool

[@jdssurf]

I've kept Ts for 30 years, but I'm struggling a bit with enclosing jumpers, I have them around, and handle my wild ones in the yard, but they seem to like to travel more, idk, some will take over three or for potted plant areas. Maybe I feel they just deserve bigger enclosures after seeing how they are in the wild around the house. Either way, I know they will still live in these cribs, I see it all the time, however just can't help to wonder if they would just love more space. Of all the inverts, they certainly show the most give a f.

[@D-me-dream-smp]

That’s an issue I wonder about too. I’m in Australia so our jumping spiders are nearly all on the small side 4-8mm. I have “befriended” quite a few in my area and noticed that the different species have quite diverse temperaments - some are very timid and invariably hide from you, some are indifferent to your presence and some are really curious and seem to enjoy interacting with you. I also noted that the males appear to roam a lot more while the females of certain species seem to stay in one area. I have kept one (Opisthoncus) long term as she decided to come home with me - I was photographing her and she jumped onto my hand and then refused to go back. She was so placid and content I would take her outside to jump around on my lemon tree and then she would come back to me to go back into her house.

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@dividmadi]

where did you get the giant pink tarantulas stuffy in the back from

[@julliacook9001]

Did you make the wooden shelves yourself? Or where did you order them, please? 😊

[@promisebevis259]

hey kat, i think i wanna start doing youtube! what do you use to edit your vids like what software?

[@Demolitiondude]

Definitely that time of year everybody in Missouri thinks mushrooms.

[@valerieross9167]

Where do you get your moss? I love the look of it in enclosures!!!!

[@MET7Games]

New spider enthusiast here looking to get a jumping spider. I’m about to build the excluder this coming week. Do you need to use a special type of non toxic glue or is normal hot glue ok?

[@tarantulakat]

never had any issue with any hot glue!

[@KitttyWh0re]

Kat! Where did you get the large quantity of red mushrooms?😮 I can only find them in small batches! 😢

[@adams13f]

Any recommendations for buying jumping spiders?

[@edziuhersthey2313]

Where did you get the caterpillar?

[@NaomiR51]

Is the moss you glued down real or fake, wouldn't it die over time if its real?

[@TrexxArmz]

What's a good sized enclosure for a 3/4" OBT sling? I'd love to get some TK enclosures for all of mine, but they're a little too pricey for me. 😂

[@kabilaganeash958]

Just found a jumping spider in my room 😅

[@zaldrizo]

I want a baybays!!! 😮😮

[@PitsFam]

So cute! I love the mushroom vibes 💗 🍄 💗 Question: Can the hot glue be peeled out of those enclosures later or does it damage them?

[@leopardgeckotalk]

I thought about breeding mine but I don’t think I could handle all the tiny babies 🙈😆

[@Techead78]

Nylon strech hose and tape.

[@wendycarr3167]

Where can I get that moss?

[@RaesCritters]

I almost got the same exact spider! I ended up getting two others from that vendor though

[@RaesCritters]

I also got a jumper from the same people, but I got an Oreo

[@rainbowcuppycakex]

Did you go on sat or sun? On Saturday I was curious but the pricing was SO high for a jumper I passed on it

[@RaesCritters]

@@rainbowcuppycakex so I was there both days but I got her Saturday. She was very expensive, but they said they were all captive bred. Finding an adult captive bred jumper is so rare I couldn’t pass it up 😭

[@rainbowcuppycakex]

@@RaesCritters she told me it was 120 and honestly that was WAYY too much for a jumper captive or not ☠️☠️ which one did you end up getting :00 ?

[@RaesCritters]

@@rainbowcuppycakex ah yeah I paid $100 which is still too much but I got an Oreo one. She’s a lot more skittish than my other jumper

I need help!!! I just checked on my jumping spider and i noticed eggs!? I haven’t bred her and I’ve actually been wanting to but she has eggs? I’ve had her for a couple weeks, idk if the people who sold her bred her or if it’s possible to have infertile eggs. What do you think? If they’re fertile that would awesome so I’m hoping they are

[@tarantulakat]

It could be either! She may have been wild caught and already gravid.

[@AcousticYouTube]

@@tarantulakat what should I do? Should I wait and see if they hatch?

[@brandimyhren6317]

Right here back the way she laid her nest? Glue down some twigs so she can come out the bottom?

[@andresbenavidez6830]

Hey Kat! Are you planning on selling any of the slings from that beautiful jumper? I would LOVE one if you are!

[@tarantulakat]

Yes! But locally. And I’m going to raise them up a little larger!

[@andresbenavidez6830]

Yep. I heard you mention that in video. With the higher success rate, I feel the higher price is totally worth it! May I also ask where I could look for you to buy some jumpers?

[@andresbenavidez6830]

Would it be the Saint Louis area or elsewhere?

[@oliverseamus4133]

She would be the best first date ever

[@nickegbg]

You are so specific that you turn swedish

[@alexstoyo7850]

My mom wanted me to ask any Tarantula owners why this might have happened. "The problem came from when your sister broke up a dog fight and her tarantula terrarium was knocked down and shattered. The tarantula was ok but as it was picked up to be safe in a tote it didn't want to leave your sister's hand. She had a wound from the dog's fight and she noticed her tarantula was standing not just over it but on it with all it's feet collected on the wound. She thought it might bite her because of the blood but it didn't. It's mouth never touched the wound but it's feet were collected on it not spread out like normal. It was almost it was having a feeling of concern or protection and didn't want to leave." "That's your sister's thought but she loves her Mexican red haired tarantula and this may never have come up with the people you follow. Would love to get some feedback on their thoughts."

[@forgenorman3025]

Tarantulas don't have the capacity to be concerned, sorry. Chances are it just didn't feel like moving at first.
