UNBOXING *LOOK AT THAT FACE* BIG Cute African Velvet Spiders & NEW Jumpers! Stegodyphus, Phiddipus

[@tarantulakat]

Thank you Tom! Check him out - hardcorearachnids.com/collections/true-spiders-mygalomorphs?page=2

[@joshuarosenblatt]

I’m so tempted (I’m in NYC on a work trip.) Also I’m guessing that S dufouri is gravid and the babies are going to eat moms. That’s going to be crazy! Stunningly adorable and mom of the year award!

[@billycoxiii4365]

Which velvet spider is communal again?

[@liddytheweeb]

Seeing Kat embrace maximalism in her enclosures brings me so much joy. Obviously you don’t need to fill it to the brim with every thing possible every time, but seeing an empty jumper enclosure makes me so sad bc they deserve a whole interior designer 😭

[@kristaharrington5982]

Velvet spiders are absolutely the cutest little walking buttons

[@katrinacade8426]

The jumpers are cuter.

[@jordynglucksman577]

How is it that every time I think I’ve seen the cutest spider I’m shown an even cuter one!?

[@crazyidiot5309]

The third Jumping Spider you put in (the peach one), when looking head-on eye-to-eye it looks like she has a unibrow. Hahaha. Beautiful little creatures and SOOOO intelligent.

[@awetistic5295]

That's almost too much spider cuteness to handle in one video! 🥹 Fern is such a precious little chonkster, but they're all sweet and beautiful!

[@susanmartin3762]

That 3rd one has such beautiful colors! Awww they say "hi" to you before going into their new houses. Those bigger ones look like mini- wolf spiders!!

[@shyeahright]

Okay that’s it - you’ve officially sold me on getting my very first spider. 💕 Sacramento reptile show is this weekend, time to shop! 😄

[@tarantulakat]

good luck!!!! 🤘

[@Evilgrinn]

Those little jumpers are so well behaved, I love it.

[@leslieelkins6051]

I love the coffin cribs

[@katyann4198]

I just bought a beautiful female jumper from Tom! Thanks for this video, Kat! I've been trying to find a female adult jumping spider for some time now. I ALMOST got one of these lovely velvet spiders too, but if she ended up being gravid, I couldn't bare to see her eaten by her babes 😢

[@alisonjones1709]

"I'm not sure how often we will see you" - everyday life with pet spiders 😂

[@Milquetoast702]

Oh my god spood heaven. I dont know why but that velvets spider reminds me of a wolf spider 😊

[@aunttpathfinder5049]

❤❤ born and raised in the country I have always respected spiders, and helping others understand how to respect them too, but here I have learned how intelligent (in their own way) they are ❤❤ much appreciated ❤

[@judychang2909]

Honestly, the name “Fern” immediately gave me flashbacks to your late Seladonia (hope you don’t also gets flashbacks to their corpse 😅)

[@tarantulakat]

No not at all, I know I’m reusing the name, which I usually don’t do but .. I love the name and it fits 😂

[@jxmorgan2009]

How is it possible these velvet spooders are so furry!!!! So presh!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@briannamarie5235]

The very last is my favorite

[@susanmartin3762]

Omg!!! How cute!! She just jumped into her new home without even saying hi!

[@elizabethdurocher8308]

Fern needs to be a plushy 💙

[@tarantulakat]

I thought that too. She’s kinda my fav rn

[@Heartshackles]

I really loved the last jumping spider enclosure, it was so cute just like the peachy hued spider herself! But the velvet spiders were really pretty too, all of them are precious

[@LeighaTharp]

I love the pinky orange face on that third jumping spider!

[@amgtarantulas]

OMG Why does it have the cutest faces ever? so beautiful!

[@susanmartin3762]

Cute cute faces!!

[@chrisjones9867]

I really love the three jumping spiders. I'm not much into much other than tarantulas and jumping spiders. Beautiful jumping spiders!!!

[@brey1720]

Why are the jumping spiders so adorable 🥺 and those enclosures! 🤩 You truly have a knack

[@joshuarosenblatt]

Oooh. That’s absolutely adorable!

[@CandiceLemonSharks]

You could plant some lithops (stone plants) in with the velvet spiders--they take water every 4-6 months from an eye dropper, a couple of ml at most.

[@shimereemoon]

Kat, Fern needs her own set of spidey drums. She shipped in practicing as soon as she moved in her dry widdle new residence. Love your fun explanitory methods

[@shimereemoon]

Cute faces & those eyes melt your heart, so i see. Yours im going to have to practice entertaining the new attitude loving them. Im the poodle person but they look easy to care for

[@shimereemoon]

Oh & youd best write the breed on the bottom of their enclosures to remember

[@tonydeluna8095]

Your pet spider are so gorgeous! I love the way you take care of them!

[@justmejenny7986]

Almost to 200,000. Yay! The orange jumping spiders are so pretty.

[@Nook_Miis]

spotted a cream and brown P regius living in a flower the other day.I'll try to get a video of it if it's still around.

[@jgscatsandthings5208]

Hey Kat. The Stegodyphus lineatus I had two myself in the UK. They both matured to females, which I then gifted to Jerimie at Jerimie's Wild World. As far as I know, he has paired them and is waiting on egg sacks. You are correct in saying they are not communal, but I found them to be calm and very cute spiders 😊

[@MADxHAWK]

those jumping spiders are so cute and adorable

[@FelineDivinee]

Everytime i watch your videos on velvet spiders, it really makes me wanna get one 😭 they are so adorable

[@Reo_Swede_Wagon]

Dude the newer sleeve is gnarly! Maybe I wasn't as perceptive before or I've been away for a while but the sleeve looks fresh!

[@januk7725]

Beautiful spiders and well done on their enclosures

[@firephly8384]

Love the little hanging chair and bear hideout

[@aphiliarachno]

Aw, that is so cute. I was already thrilled by the thumbnail.😊

[@Archangel_Dusk]

I love your shirt! Also you have peeked my interest in enjoying all these babies. I was really nervous around spiders till I started to watch you! Thank you!!

[@ItsPoisonous]

Stegodyphus velvet spood plush next with a removable witch hat, pretty please. ❤

[@upwindashley56]

Oh my gosh 😹 that Halloween themed enclosure and the orange jumper! So cool. Thanks for the vid!

[@dawncaron3960]

Those jumper spider enclosures came out so good Kat. I knew you'd have fun with all that merc you had. I love them all and the babies are so pretty 😍

[@Huheinn2.0]

Great video! Also shout out to the plug those are beautiful

[@TalamarAmV]

5 new adorable additions.

[@emma-bat13]

The bigger velvet spider's markings on the face kind of reminds me of Sleep Token lol🖤

[@CarolYoung-v9c]

Absolutely beautiful!!! I’m obsessed with jumpers also…🕷️

[@Hippogriff_ovo]

Ahhh so precious ;o; I would name the orange jumper Pumpkin Chai XD

[@Deez_Cheese33]

SO CUTE!!!!

[@edwardcrowley4564]

I have a lineatus and dufouri pair living together, they can live communal, but cannaibalism can occur if not fed properly

[@Mercedes_may]

I love when I get new jumpers that remind me of my old babies! I wish jumpers lived longer

[@FrancesMeoww]

Cuteness overload 💖💖💖

[@mistypfitzer111]

Haha that last jumping spider, looked like a "Southern Comfort " to me haha 😅 a good ol' fashion whiskey lol ❤

[@GloomyRaccoon_]

Oh my gosh, I have the same shirt as you and it was so weird to see you wearing it for some reason like, you're an actual real person who is out in the world buys the same shirt as me and not just a person I watch on TV 😂 I love all the new babies 💜

[@tfl0426]

I think we need a Chai inspired plushie especially with this new girl that looks so sweet and similar ❤

[@girlfaerie]

I'm super late to this, but I can't believe Chai doesn't have a plushie!! she's such a channel favorite. I hope she'll get one in the future (especially because I've missed out on EVERY plushie drop so far lol)

[@sarahleebeauty6761]

omg the velvets are stunning! i didn’t know they came in different colors 😭

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome Video Tarantula Kat🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@starlightvampire]

My Maple plushie shippedddd! I'm so excited!

[@JaneDoe-ci2lv]

oooh i need to get jumpers from tom! i haven't had those colors yet. but i did get the velvets too! I named the white one vanilla bean but i call her bean and the black and white oreo.

[@JaneDoe-ci2lv]

when bean waves her arms at me i call her angry bean lol. She is super active and thicccc. Hoping she has babies.

[@Omnius.exotics]

Seems like you have some new plushies to design they are so cute i rwally love to have them in a plushie.

[@Occultexotics]

All stegodyphus are communal. I’ve kept various different stegodyphus including Dumicola, tibialis and Lineatus and all are kept in communals and doing well.

[@nerdiisage]

The first glimpse of the velvet spider when you held it up reminded me of the crab spider man from monsters inc lol the boss man.

[@mariestubbs4606]

So luv these lil critters and the enclosures are amazing great vid Kat ...

[@Kurenai_Mitsuguni]

I think i used to saw one Jumping spider, it was a female, she was a size of my nail on my thumb, she's purely white and found out shes a Paraphidippus Fartilis, shes a rare and a Elegant little spider but she is like a super gentle little gal, i kept her for like a little caring, feeding her basically flies and other things that those little fellas eat and a few days later i just release her back onto the trees, i have to let her go somehow cause keeping a jumping spider is a Big responsibility

[@cinderblossom]

Aahh! So cute! I want more Velvets. I have an Eresus Walckenaeri named Nifty. I also have a Fig (P.Regius Apalachicola) and a Fern (P. Nikites).

[@hawaiianshirts4715]

Those spiders ARE adorable, but I could never bring myself to keep one as a pet. I understand spiders; I respect spiders; I don't want to be close friends with spiders. Thanks for letting us see them up close but also far away.

[@MsBebegurl0212]

Congratulations on 200k!!

[@buckzx12r]

Very nice enclosures!

[@coldcountess]

Kat in October you should come to Chiller Theater Expo in Parsippany, NJ !! Name the last jumper, Creamsicle !!

[@derp_dragons]

I swear I heard the last spider scream in full panic while she was flailing around her legs. 😂

[@leahparadox]

I miss your enclosure build videos! Any chance you would record your builds for future videos? In any case, thank you for always creating awesome content!

[@cb3391]

So cute, and great habitats.

[@JennCampbell]

The second velvet spider is wearing war paint. 😊 ❤

[@pamelahouze7163]

I absolutely love your channel

[@crystal338]

Love the bone enclosure! Ghost happy meal, are you kidding me?!😃

[@TreeHugginT]

We got to watch our bold jumper molt the other day it was incredibly cool. We have a male regal, a male bold, and a baby bold that we think is female.

[@billydeanjamesgomez-keaton5787]

I am not a fan of spiders but you are changing my view.

[@lurphette]

Your jumper enclosures are so cute! Do you know where to buy the boo bucket hide? I can’t find them anywhere 👻

[@tarantulakat]

I got it from Haus of le Spood on instagram!

[@lurphette]

@@tarantulakat thanks, I’ll check them out!

[@smexypyro]

The second velvet spider made me think of Kirby and idk why

[@Canadiangirl896]

I absolutely love your vids

[@agirlnamedbrett.]

i think jumping spiders are part models because they just looove the camera haha. yess i know it's becauae of their eyes

[@wasabee8228]

Hi Kat! Been watching your videos the past months and you have pulled me over the edge to get into spiders. I love getting some inspiration from your fun enclosures! I do have been sitting with this question for a while; how do you heat your spider enclosures? Or is it just warm enough where you live, so you don’t have to use heating? Because I’ve been told certain ‘tarantulas’ should be kept at around 25 grades celcius AND so are jumping spiders? Love from Belgium!

[@marciacoco9549]

So pretty😊

[@JohnpaulEsperon]

Hello kat I did find a orange wolf spider but I didn't know what to do with it

[@louisestothard6138]

My stegodyphus lineatus is on hunger strike and her boots is so small now compared to when I got her 😢

[@michellejones5070]

Are the last ones like in the Orb Weavers family?

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@kristenerwin2518]

So cute ❤❤❤

[@diamondapril7081]

Hi Kat! New subscriber here! I’ve had a fear of spiders since I was a teen, I am 30 now. You make them seem more cute and friendly. I am still working through my fear because they can be creepy with their legs 🥹 but I love your content, I’ve binged since last night. Question: what camera do you use?

[@philipcoleman8184]

Can you imagine viewing life through a head full of eyes?

[@philipcoleman8184]

Have you ever covered sets of eyes up to judge their functionality?

[@philipcoleman8184]

Have you ever tried covering pairs of eyes to understand their functionality?

[@kismitj]

their little faces :3

[@Fallingwcue]

TOO......CUTE!!!!

[@EmunahFL]

How do you feed jumping spiders? What do they eat?

[@AuraKnight-kn1ux]

Aww they are so adorable ☺️ how many Spiders do you have?

[@ScaleValley_SFV]

Hi Kat! Do you happen to know if the Stegodyphus Lineatus is communal, and how do you keep them?!

[@prixalternative4201]

Wow 👍👍 that's everywhere in my place you'll find it promise 💯💯

[@justsomeguy6474]

I like the building the enclosures videos. I'm a little sad you did that off camera.

[@HansBergh]

My jumping spider, Peaches, is bright orange with pink chelicerae.

[@utena7694]

If you don't mind me asking, I also picked up a Stegodyphus dufouri from Tom! Do you feel like the enclosures you housed them in are more of a "they'll grow into them size" or do you think that size is best for Ferns current size? Was considering going with something smaller since they tend to be less active then other species

[@tarantulakat]

You can go smaller :)

[@mugiwaerouma]

Do you think... they are okay for first-time spider owners? I am still kind of afraid handling them, so if the velvet spiders are like... shy and will avoid me, but I can look at them whenever I want, I am pleased with this...

[@lur9017]

Enjoy your beautiful babies!
