Unboxing Japanese FUNNEL WEB & 6 NEW baby Eresus species *velvet spiders*

[@tarantulakat]

Thank ya Tom! Check him out here - hardcorearachnids.com/collections/true-spiders-mygalomorphs *NOT sponsored/ affiliated - spiders gifted

[@ashleycla2000]

After following that link, I ended reading Tom's "Hysterocrates laticeps - The Communal Project". So interesting!

[@amelia4548]

I just got out of a relationship with an arachnophobic partner, who was the reason I haven't owned a tarantula despite wanting to for years and years. Since the relationship has ended, I decided to treat myself and order my first tarantulas. You're my favorite tarantula content creator and I chose my species based off your collection (obviously did outside research too). Next week I'll be receiving a g. pulchra, g. pulchrapes, b. hamorii and two mystery beginner species :) Eventually I want to get jumping and velvet spiders too!

[@houndgirl7365]

Obviously wasn't meant to be. Even if the person doesn't like a certain animal it does not give them the right to say you can't keep any of that species because of their fear. If it's an issue of allergic to venom well a discussion could be have about sade species. Overall to tell one they can't because it makes them uncomfortable is just controlling. Yes responsibility will fall completely on the person who wanted the animal, but that wouldn't affect the other aside from potentially seeing it out on occasion no big deal. Congratulations on the spiders

[@hai-bah3617]

@@houndgirl7365Second this 100%. I was in a relationship with someone who was terrified of snakes and I at the time had an adult corn snake who I eventually had to give away. He was quick to say how happy he was that it was gone and that was one of the biggest reasons why I no longer wanted anything to do with him. Partners can definitely have their fears but should never control what you do and don’t keep as pets (unless of course it’s an animal that shouldn’t be but that’s a different case).

[@dotdotdotdotdotdotdash]

PARTNERS ARE TEMPORARY TARANTULA KEEPING IS FOREVER!!!

[@amelia4548]

@@houndgirl7365 To be fair, he did say I could once we had a bigger place where I could have my own animal room. But it would've had to stay in our bedroom in the place we lived in, and that freaked him out. I was bummed he didn't want me having one, but understood and thought it was fair to wait

[@TheAlexstiles]

Good on you and BEST of luck!!!! You won’t have any regrets:)

[@crowofjudgement8810]

Be careful with macrothele gigas, it's venom packs a powerful and potent punch and they are very fast and defensive when fully grown, as a funnel web they generally do burrow but they web a lot and grow quite large but their venom is medically significant.

[@TreeHugginT]

Mr. Tarantula Kat has the most calming voice. He could probably de-escalate any situation. Lol yall are awesome.

[@snowelley]

I’ve had my first tarantula now for about a week thanks to you!! My husband and I love her. We got her from Tom, a G pulchripes juvenile 🥰 we have 3 Italian Greyhounds and 5 chickens… and now 1 tarantula, oh and 1 wild California mantis ootheca we are nursing until spring, lol. She has already eaten multiple crickets and even done quite a bit of happy dancing!!!! Thank you Kat!!!! Watching your videos went from casual entertainment and not really caring for spiders at all (if anything scared of them) to finding spiders fascinating and now having my own!!! This is your doing, Kat!! LOL!!

[@pugmomma72]

You helped me get over my phobia of spiders. I found a jumping spider in my garden and bought an enclosure, cholla wood. Still learning about them.

[@OmniusFS.exotics]

Who doesn't love velvet spiders.. they are the cutest spiders. Can't wait to add some species to my collection.

[@kaseyw1381]

ah!! i just got my own wednesday because i just love her so so much. i got a lady bird velvet spider and so far they are SO cute. super glad you’re doing more velvet spider content, i love them ❤️

[@michaelmead8285]

Funnel-webs are great Kat! I live in Australia and have about 9 different species. They're super derpy spiders despite their fearsome reputation!

[@1234567Clairebear]

As a fellow aussie all i can say is you must have balls of steel sir lol Im not a huge arachnophobe but funnel webs especially the east coast ones are ones i dont want to ever go toe to toe with lol

[@Heartshackles]

Really wholesome how the mister came in for this video to help with the rehousing! That was such a fun idea, and helps me think I can handle a little spiderling as well

[@Kaimpeters]

I just ordered my first velvet spider today so I am loving this content ❤

[@coldcountess]

Kat, I never thought you'd get a funnel web species. Just be careful. I've seen Dave deal with those crazy Beasties.

[@1234567Clairebear]

Hopefully she can see the vids where he houses them, pairs them, feeds them etc to help her knowledge grow :D if she hasnt already lol

[@tarantulakat]

I've actually had a couple different species! very cool spiders but a lil feisty for sure lol

[@charleighhawk5804]

i also use those same containers I get them at michael's and hobby lobby (you can buy individual sizes at hobby lobby) and I love them i use them for jumping spider slings and i have one in my purse as a container for wild caught species (most are small here) so that its easier to let them out of the house

[@Lightnang_]

Always a good day when tarantula kat uploads

[@michaeljk555]

The Japanese funnel web spider looks very similar to the Australian male mouse spider which has the same type of red markings. I have come across the mouse spider a few times in the outback when they are out searching for a female & the red colouring really grabs your attention.

[@taco-schmaco]

Very cool!! Thank you Kat for introducing me to the Spider-verse. I got my first two Ts earlier this month and I love them so much

[@BRANDYMQ]

T's are the best pets.. I love my spiders..! 🥲

[@xXxLunamitzaxXx]

Really want to get velvet spiders (I'm UK) will get some next year. I did however get my first jumping spider ( Phidippus regius) a month ago and its just molted... It's so cute. Thank you Kat for making me love jumping spiders as well as T's :) x

[@angelameyer8555]

Thank you so much for doing this video ❤

[@thriftytupelonanny4124]

Kat I just wanted to tell you Thank you for sharing with us. You encouraged me to face my fears and I have. 2 jumpers and 1 Trantula

[@tonydeluna8095]

Happy thanksgiving Tarantula Kat!

[@ericdurst9715]

What he needs is a ball python. I've got turantulas, wolfspider, dancing whitelady huntsman and three ball pythons. Plus one cat. I finally got a Burgundy Goliath and she's definitely shy and doesn't want to come out of the hide. I'm waiting for her to come out and start eating for me. You definitely need a couple of old world turantulas in your collection so that your nerves will calm down.

[@Cirkelo]

I dont know why, but listening to you talking about spiders is just so chill. Thank you!

[@MadailinBurnhope]

I just ordered my first velvet baby (Gandanameno sp.), they're arriving next week I can't wait

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome Video Tarantula Kat

[@SING4ABS0LUTI0N]

just got my first tarantula because of you! she's a lovely juvenile davus pentaloris and she'll share a home with my 12 jumping spiders and their slings :) love ya kat

[@WorthlessFemale]

Lol, I have a wild caught NC funnel web (aka grass spider) she came in my house all hungry, thirsty , and cold so I set up an enclosure from Tarantula Cribs, she ate good then discovered her hide and hasn't come out since she found it😂.

[@darylmorse7337]

You are a backseat driver when it comes to Mr. Tarantula Kat rehousing the spiders. Lol

[@tarantulakat]

Ik it’s terrible lol. I’m too anxious

[@Mike-ly9qi]

Kat, honestly that Gigas is probably the one spider you have that I don't think you done enough research on. Maybe you should reach out to Dave Fisher and ask his advice for keeping them. That have some really powerful venom. And sonic fast.

[@laurawilson5666]

Can you do a all care guide to all the spiders you keep please and thank you

[@antoniokevin9]

Well, can you make a video about the care of Typhochlaena seladonia?

[@katiecrull77]

Good job, Mr. Tarantula Kat!

[@Lisa-eu9fy]

YAY! Love your awesome videos! AND your enclosures are delightful!🕷♥️♥️♥️🕷

[@BRANDYMQ]

I absolutely love Velvet Spiders 😢 I've been wanting one so bad but every time I try to buy there sold out. I'm going to hit up Tom quick!

[@barbhelle5481]

Mr Tarantula Kat did great.

[@Spiderdan-59]

Kat whats that stuff youre putting in for the slings in them little pots?? Im going to a pet store ive found in London uk they have slings n adults 🕸🖤🕸🖤🇬🇧

[@antoniokevin9]

Buenas puedes hacer un vídeo sobre los cuidados de laTyphochlaena seladonia

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@jilenejensen1539]

My main concern with ordering Spiders online is the fear of squishing them when you rehouse them.

[@billbolton7108]

Where can I find the lady bird velvet spiders and jumping spiders that look similar

[@MusicOfDestruction]

KAT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WITH A JAPANESE FUNNEL WEB SPIDER! The venom is usually Fatal

[@angrymilk_chan4767]

I went to michaels today and bought that exact thing of storage cups 😂😂

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Babies are so cute.

[@robinficken9566]

Where do you buy the clear bottles you put the tiny Velvet Spider slings in???

[@mszs3913]

KAT you should get a MALE MOUSE Spider. We have plenty here. Sending love from Australia 😉

[@Jennifer-mk6tj]

They put dabs in those containers 🖤

[@bluexwings]

What clip-on lenses do you use? I just got 2 jumping spiders, and I'd love to be able to get some photos of them! 😊♥️

[@bluexwings]

PS: Their names are Nacho and Dixie. They both molted immediately, so I haven't handled them yet... But I want to so bad! lol

[@amyasawesomeasalways]

Velvet communal update pleasee❤😊

[@Kirbyroth]

Kat got feisty new 🕷

[@VaniVaniVici]

So jealous about those velvets 😅😢😊 I ordered 3, got sent 5 but they didn't arrive alive 😢 so sad about this cus they still very rare here. Can't wait to see yours grown up 🎉

[@amgtarantulas]

That speedy one wouldve stressed me out hahah!

[@nature_rabbits5370]

Rehousing baby spiderlings make me so nervous!

[@ThorntonWillie]

Just picked up my first tarantula i got a pink toe tarantula from petsmart for black Friday figured I would save one from the pet store.

[@FBAMaroon]

Dope ❤

[@djetronakanorte]

I think you should reach out to keeper card's and have yourr spider collection done as a set as i would buy your deck for sure love your collection how many in total do you have right now ? :)

[@Demolitiondude]

I won't cancel mr. Tarantula. Mistakes happen.

[@marystout2870]

I like your videos.

[@marleyyates2995]

Get ready for the M gigas to be the weirdest bro ever. Once I dropped in a super worm and it bit it, let it go, then started doing circles around the tank and then didnt eat the superworm until later. Zoomies much?

[@mjt141]

Well at least they weren’t jumping spider babies they’d be harder to find if they got away from you

[@Hannahpatriciadavis140]

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Coooool

[@RobloxPlayerOne80]

Wait? jumping spiders need to eat every day?? Dang... no wonder I have so much trouble keeping them alive. Now I feel awful...

[@tarantulakat]

Babies need to eat often, I offer at least every other day but they don’t always take it

[@plawson8577]

You have to feed a Jumper Daily and a Wolfie every 72 hours.

Dang, he gave you 500 stickers or something. Wtf

[@tarantulakat]

yes I give them to patrons etc 🤍

[@jessicapearson9479]

Ummm...... the Japanese Funnel Web Spider is more potent and aggressive than the Australian Funnel Web Spider. It is also bigger.

[@tarantulakat]

It is not more potent than the Hadronyche modesta. There is no study, nothing saying that anywhere. And while I would consider it very defensive, it’s not “aggressive”

Kat you are really pretty. You look beautifull. God bless and have an awesome day or night lol. Your tarantulas are very beautifull too. From Renier lol. Your secret admirer. Know your married lol. Just giving a compliment.

[@BrettHoTep]

Spiders are fascinating, tarantulas and velvets are great but as an Aussie I have no interest in funnel-webs whatsoever. They are fast, dangerous and I don’t want one anywhere near me.

[@peggycuevas159]

I live watching your show, I've learned alot, n I thank u very much for that, but now, WITH ALL RESPECT u really need to either stop wearing nail polish, or PLEASE keep your nails done up, on your show, your hands r on the screen ALOT, but it's in very poor taste to have your nails looking so bad,, please no not think I'm disrespecting u, I'm not, I'm just very nicely letting u know what we're looking at, thank u for your utube Channel, I love it
