    I get nervous every time one of our Ts molt. Our Smithi didn't eat for 7 months and then molted a week later. When she finally ate, we were the ones doing a happy dance.

    I used to be a huge arachniphobe but I've been watching your videos for a bit now. I live outside the city of Phoenix, AZ and have tons of tarantula wondering around. I've discovered that the males are the only ones that come up on my patio at night and decide my feet are great to cuddle with. I feel I've come a long way over 13 years that I can save them from the pool without freezing up. Your videos sure help a lot

    Hi Kat!! I never thought I would own a tarantula and it has never crossed my mind. A couple months ago I very randomly stumbled across your video of you losing your T to impaction. For some reason I couldn't stop watching and it made me so sad. After that I started researching and now own a B. Hamorii named Mango.

    So pleased she molted OK. For the last 2 weeks I've had a tarantula delivered on the Tuesday, molted when I check on it Thursday morning. Last week was an Aphonopelma seemani, then this morning my Tliltocatl kahlenbergi had molted overnight within 2 days of taking delivery.
    Just wish my Grammostola pulchra would get hers done, she seems to have been in pre-molt for ages now!

    I saw a Snake Discovery video featuring a bearded dragon breeder ages ago and he recommended mixing cilantro or bee pollen into their greens if they aren't showing much interest in them (something about the scent makes the greens more appetizing to bearded dragons apparently), in case that helps.

    I’ve always been terrified of spiders since I had a bad bite from a common spider when I was 10 and I’m 43. But it was traumatic. However I think they are gorgeous creatures and so fascinating. So I’m getting over my fear with your videos and how informative you are. Thanks Kat. This made me miss my bearded dragon Zeus so much. He has a good home now though. We couldn’t keep him where we live.

    Im glad your smithi moulted ok orange Brachys alwys look amazing just after they moult. I had a horrible day today I let one of my Harpactira namaquensis spiderlets escape while I was filling its water and spent ages searching for it and couldnt find it and eventually had to give up and I felt so bad bcus it was completely my mistake and now little spider will die and then like 4 hours later I went to put my trainers on bcus I was going out and my spiderlet was hiding under one of them omg I was so relieved. but even so I was lucky because I walked past where it was hidden so many times and couldve easily have stepped on it and even if Id picked my trainers up differently it could have got squished but anyway its fine I guess but I will be so much more careful in future

    I'm vicariously watching through you. I'm glad your spider had a successful moly. I didn't know that spiders molt. But I could never have a spider as a pet as I suffer from arachnodphobia. I may get therapy to address it. I know were the fear. Comes from. My sister use to chase me around the house with a spider on the end of the broom. I really like your feeding videos and you have a large variety of pets. I'm not affraid of reptiles. I don't know if your videos are desentatizing me but I have subscribed. I look forward to seeing what's in store for the spiders. I particularly like it when the spiders splash near their water bowls. I imagine they're wanting you to fill it up quickly so they can splash around like a toddler.

    Moults are the most exciting as well as a stressful time for me. I pulled a moult early once to verify gender and the T didn't do so well and I had to ICU him for 24 hours. Now I always leave the moults until the T leaves it alone. They do seem to chew them up. .

    Holy cow, she looks amazing! On an unrelated note, a tip to keep the plastic cutting board from slipping all over the place: put it on a silicone placemat like those they sell for kids on Amazon. Maybe it's not an issue for you but I hate when they do that and this is the best solution I came up with so far

    • @dorabrooks76
      @dorabrooks76 4 роки тому +1

      A silicon mat is a good idea. 👍🏻 I have a mixing bowl with silicone on the bottom- it's one of my favourites because it stays in place when stirring.
      For under a cutting board, though, I just use a damp washcloth. It holds the cutting board in place, then I use it to wipe down the counter when I'm done. Works for my other mixing bowls, too. 😊

    • @jaungiga
      @jaungiga 4 роки тому +1

    Tarantula Kat, how many legs do Tarantulas have? My dad and I got into a debate a few years ago when he tried to say they had 10 instead of 8. I told him thd palps don't count as legs. They're considered feelers. So if you could clear the air please? Thank you so much. Awesome videos. Your babies are gorgeous.
