Also thank you so much to the person who gave her to me! Bad molts like this just happen, and although they were definitely capable of caring for her they knew I just have a special place for this species
Deleted comment that I was confused about.
I won't never forget about that. I was so sad cause I felt your sadness in your voice in that video. But yep 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 she can bounce back.
My daughter literally squealed with excitement when she saw Miso. She said thank you for adding the pic.
It could help to keep a colony of gut-loaded crickets or roaches, while feeding the soon-to-be prey some appropriate nutrient supplements for T molting before feeding them to misses molt.
I took in my gorgeous poecilotheria metallica, Freyja who also had a bad molt that left two of her back legs looking really similar. She has been doing fine, climbing and eating just fine though she chooses to hang out lower to the ground and even webbed up around her little space. I am sure she will do great in your care! ♡
The little pitter patter of her feet when she bolted 🥺🥺🥺 She's too precious
Have a p. striata who had similar condition with crooked legs and and upturned foot. She's fine now, but it did take two molts before fixing itself. Though with those balding femurs, hopefully she molts for you soon!
I like the Idea of mushrooms growing in a bioactive enclosure, but I must say, those were some shady looking characters...from the other side of the deep dark woods in this fairy tale scenario.
Haha I like it too
Just follow the spiders
I think it’s a good precaution to remove the isopods from the situation, I raise dairy cows and it’s shocking how voracious they can be to anything they view as a potential food source.
Dairy cows really will go for anything they can eat!
Is it just those isopods or all isopods
There are smaller species so I’d do some research to see if people have had success with others.
@@jaynemistry1130 Porcellio species are more protein hungry
I don't have tarantulas, but I've kept isopods with mantis with no issues. Mantis climb, isopods burrow, so they don't really bump into each other. I think since isopods usually burrow a terrarium for an arboreal tarantula would probably be safe.
basically so long as the isopods are small enough, the tarantula will not even notice them. A smaller tarantula will eat em.
I think as long as there food for the isopods (poo, molts, actual food you can buy etc) they won’t try to chew on any pets. 😉
I only ever keep dwarf white isopods with my spiders, purely because they don't attack my tarantulas or jumping spiders. I wouldn't keep larger isopods with my spiders or tarantulas
Dear Kat, I can share some experience with that kind of issue.
Our Brachipelma Vagans had half of her legs twisted after a problematic molt.
On the left side the outer ones, and on the right side the inner ones, were twisted like corkscrews.
The only movement possible was extending and retracting like some kind of telescopic arm.
She adapted quite fast to the new situation and pretty much worked with the 4 normal legs she had left.
During the next mold all of the 4 misshaped legs were ripped away from her and stayed with mold.
She bleed strongly.
She survived and during the next 3 molds her missing legs grew back.
I guess you should monitor her next mold carefully and be prepared to stop bleeds.
Good luck with her.
She's such a sweetheart, hoping she recovers and it's t back to normal soon!
That is seriously so so so incredibly kind and compassionate of you to want to help Eevee!!! 😊💗 She's beautiful. 😍🕷 Hoping and praying for a full recovery. 🙏
I'm so glad you found this sweet girl, I really hope she pulls through. Keep us posted!
That's because Kat has great content and is worth watching! 💜🕷️🕸️
Hey sweety isopods are great. I know that Dave has them in most tarantula enclosures. He never had an issue
Nice video Kat as always!! Eevee is absolutely beautiful! Thank goodness for the amazing people out there who has such a passion for these amazing eight legged beauties or like I call mine my eight legged hamsters!
She is just a gorgeous girl and is in the perfect hands to help her and love her.
Also thank you for adding my little Bonnie, so excited to see her at the end ❤
the subtitles at 13:57 said "dont forget im going to scream without you probably way too much as i turn into that cat"
love it
I was literally picturing the sandworm from Beetlejuice as she was disappearing🤣🤣
AWWWW sweet baby!!!! Can't wait to see how well she does! Thank you for helping her 🤍
The snake might be so skittish because of the top opening enclosure. Our hognose (obvs different species) would puff up and get all sassy when she was in a top opening enclosure but now shes in a front opening one shes so much better, might be something to consider in the future
Absolutely great advice. Predators to most reptiles come from above. Reaching down onto your snake while towering over it can absolutely increase fear and flight. Many snakes and lizards also will calm down if they cant see you seeing them. Maybe they think if its looking at me its targeting me for predation. Who knows how they think but I have seen it work
@@Ava_Orchid Yes exactly this, pretty much most predators of reptiles come from above, especially things like birds. Also regular handling will hopefully help
3.25 a.m here in Europe and I have some sleeping issues, so your video was absolutely a relief!
I think that under your supervision she will doing well. As you said it's just legs and we all know that in the next molt probably everything will be fixed. Her name is like my second name (Eva) so.... I'm proud of it! ☺
Thank you my sweet friend for this video and I will cross my finger for the beautiful Evee 🥰
Tons of love ❤
Evee is the English name for Evoli 😊
Oh-what a pretty girl🦄 I love this species so much, but it’s so rare, I’m looking for one forever. Crossing my fingers for a healthy molt:)
I love the Ghost Milksnake...very beautiful...I have never seen one before. I adore snakes, but haven't ever tried to care for one. I'm afraid of spiders, but I have held a tarantula. I don't think I would ever want one though. I really enjoy your videos!!!!!
Love the metalic blue sheen on the knees of E. campastratus (something I've not noticed before)
good looking T
I hope she does well
I have a Avicularia braunshauseni that molted face down, her legs got stuck in the molt and she wasn't able to kick out of it before her exoskeleton started to harden. Her legs are all messed up too.
Mimikyu is such a cutie 😍😭🤍 good luck with the furry lady, Kat!! 😊
I look at spiders a whole lot differently
Thanks Kat
Tis true, T. Kat is the Tarantula Ambulance.
I hope she's alright now and living her best life
Hi Beautiful Kat., Evie is fast and I hope her legs recover with her next molt... She's a Beauty...Praying for her to have a full recovery.
Thank GOD she has you to care for her, with your tremendous amount of Love you give to her, and All your Precious Animals....
You post this right when I was eyeballing a sling, I think it's a sign
I love your pink spider plushie! 💞
I hope your new tarantula molts and is back to her normal self soon I wish you all the best of luck tarantula kat
She’s absolutely beautiful I’m hoping she will recover!🥺
She is definitely in good hands, for sure. 😊
Hi kat I love watching your channel iv started to watch more tarantula channel due to me getting my nhandu tripepii in 2 weeks time so excited 😊 great channel keep up the great content
My T. Albopilosus Nicaragua juvenile just finished molting an hour and a half ago. Turns out it's a male. So devastating cause he won't live long. I want a female :( hopefully my sling is a female. What a bummer :( But I'm glad he finished molting safely and is alive.
SO JEALOUS of all your patrons with jumping spiders! More of us need scorpions, though. ;) Or I'll finally send you some photos of my babies...
Poor girl! I truly hope she makes it! She's so beautiful. Hopefully she'll molt soon and everything will be good with her!
Best wishes for Eevee! She's very pretty!
Aww poor baby I hope she recovered
I think that longer tank is a good choice for Mimi bc snakes so like to stretch out fully! Also, my snakes do love the water dish hides like you’re putting in there too! So excited that you have another E camp, hoping she does well next molt for you! Keep us posted 💗
Thank ya!!
I remember when u only had 38k u have so many subs now omg!
Most of my more moisture dependent T’s have isopods in their enclosures and I’ve not yet had a problem in years. Maybe some species of isopods are more prone to damage t’s but I’ve yet to have any issues. I do sometimes even ad some fish food for them and make sure there is hardwood leaves for them to munch.
My biggest surprise comeback was a sling Pseudhapalopus sp. Columbia I had just received that was super small. I put it into my container with the smallest vent holes I had, and it really looked like he wouldn't fit. I was right, kinda xD It sure as hell tried though, but it got stuck. Carapace and front 4 legs were outside, abdomen and back 4 were stuck inside. I had to push it back through the hole with a paintbrush (which it tried to bite the entire time). In the process it dropped 3 of the 4 front legs to get unstuck. I was so scared it was going to die from injuries to the carapace I couldn't see; however, a year later and Five Legs has grown back all its legs and is thriving. It's amazing what they can come back from! Here is to hoping Eevee makes a full recovery!
I hope she gets better ❤️❤️❤️
Wow I remember that tarantula mue wow aww I'm happy for u kat got a new one aww I love her 💗
ooh it would be cute to name the other E. camp slings after eeveelutions when they grow
I have a Phormictopus that was in a very similar state. He also didn't drop the legs until he molted. He then lost 2 of the 4 bad legs, and the molt after, he has 8 legs, 2 shorter, but none deformed
I just wanted to say that I’m so scared of spiders but since I started watching your videos I realize there not so bad after all and my boyfriend and me are waiting on our two jumping spider slings
I love mimiku so awsome and so are you thank you for your show
Mimi does look like a sand worm from Beetle Juice
Lol
Kat, lol
This is soooo funny but ever since I started watching you I baby every spider I see, lol.
I had the COOLEST Orb Weaver in my garden that actually didn't hang out all that long.
The last time I saw her/him he was tearing down the web
Eating it
I went back out and she was GONE
I WAS SO DEVASTATED LOL
I get wolfies in my house quite a bit this time of year. I think I am going to stick up on the things to keep them in. What can you do???
I hate to not do anything.
I have seen some cool looking spiders. I'm constantly snapping pics and blowing them up so I can see what they are lol
Pokemon collection is growing
Miss you tarantula kat I have been very busy and getting ready to upgrade, my male adult bearded dragon Mylo,and Rocky male juvenile leopard geckos,I'm so happy for mybearded dragon,because he has need this for a long time but my dad hasn't bought him one in tell he seen one cheap at Petco its a 40 gallon breeder,it's big enough for him he has a very small tank at the moment u guys don't know how happy I am for my bearded dragon he has needed this since he was 2years old and now he is 4,5year,old so I'm so happy for him thanks.😊
She beautiful hope she get her legs better with next few molts and u done great job taking her in looking after her
Poor little thing :-( I'm so glad she has you to take care of her!!!!!!!!
I got an E campestratus as my first tarantula, their name is Gumdrop 🥰 I'm so excited for them to reach full size
I love the name Eevee, I wonder what she'll molt into. Either way, it'll be interesting to follow her eeveelution throughout her time on the channel.
Aw poor little tarantula !!! I have faith in you !
I love how you name them after Pokemon! I gotta ask though, is your favourite Pokemon Galvantula? 😆Love watching your vids 💛
Great video
I'm loving the fact u name some of ur t's after Pokémon! I love Pokémon too and I'm 44 yrs old, lol. I messaged u on Instagram bout my first t! He's not my first spider though, lol. He's a baby curly hair. Supposed to be a Nicaraguan species. He's bout the size of a half dollar at least. But just noticed he's closed off all his burrow entrances which means he'll be molting again, yay! I would love to see ur curly hair more cuz I had only gotten a glimpse of him/ her in one of ur videos. Hope Eevee gets better with next molt. Keep making these informative videos! I learn from them a lot. Love seeing all them other species of t's cuz I plan to get more eventually.
My 7 inch DLS P. cambridgei female had a leg that looked exactly like the last one on your girl, all bent at the tip. Hers happened after a molt on her fake flowers that were too close to the lid and that caused her to not be able to stretch the limb out properly. Just what I think happened anyway. It was corrected in her next molt. Looking at the tightness of your E. campestratus' burrow, I wouldn't be surprised if her bad molt was due to something similar. Or totally different. Either way, wishing you luck with her and that she recovers well!
Mimikyu is just a “shy” girl, I get it, I too have social anxiety
I really enjoy your videos and I watch them all immediately. But I cant watch this :,( this tarantula looks like mine and I can’t right now. Love you Kat!
im worried for her, hope she molts better!
Tom Moran had scorpions that were chewed on by isopods while molting
Oh maybe that’s where I heard it lol
Is there an average amount of molts tarantulas have in a lifetime? Or are they all different depending on species? (Arachnophobic workin on my fears by watching you and the Dark Den!)
She is pretty, mostly 😬 lol congratulations!
No specific number - they'll just continue to periodically molt throughout their lifespan.
Not any specific number of moults. You need to also check out Dave Fisher and Tom Moran, along with the Tarantula Collective, all of which are much more knowledgeable about spiders and tarantulas than Dark Den 🤩
Good luck Eevie xxx
That's impressive.
Love your videos
I keep isopods and honestly seeing a successful isopod colony in a tarantula enclosure worries me. I had springtails move into a sling enclosure and he/she removed them all. I had a couple isopods appear in another tarantula enclosure and then they disappeared,
Brian, I have never commented before. I watch your videos all the time. I lost my brother to pancreatic cancer 5 years ago. He had it for a couple years before they caught it. He was against any treatment at first. By the time a decided to get treatment, it wasn't very successful. He did how ever lasted 3 times the time they felt he had left. So my thoughts and Prayers are with you every step of your journey. You will beat this with the love and help with your family and friends and last but not least your animals. Keep your head up and listen to your doctors. Rest when u need to and kick this in the butt.
You’re on the wrong video pal. Stick to never commenting.
I have a pied sided bloodred corn snake. Her name is Edith. And she's a demonic little pistol and I love her quite dearly xD
I hope she recover soon ❤
Good 👍 work 👏
Definitely a good idea to separate those isopods, while very docile Porcellionides are hungry little dudes who need a lot of calcium...which ranchu molts are packed with. They wouldn't want to eat her necessarily, but I could see them doing some damage trying to eat/pull off a molt before she was done. Tbh that may be what caused her injury, I didn't see any calcium source in her old tank so the isopods may have gotten over excited when she last molted.
All things considered Eevee looks great though and I'm sure she'll do wonderful in her new home free from overeager "helpers"! cx
Even though tarantulas can be indimitating it is still sad seeing them be hurt.
I wouldn't do isopods with anything that burrows. I've had 2 losses due to isopods eating them while resting in burrows. Also, they eat up your plants and moss even when you're feeding them. The amount of damage is most likely due to the size of their population, and might be species specific. But I no longer keep isopods as part of my clean up crew. Springtails and worms, white/grindle worms work great for me.
You are such a good person. I love that you try your best to give your pets good homes and how you show ones that have issues like this spider and how you try to give them a better life than they may have had.
hi Kat I love what ur doing I'm looking to get a T but I want one for a beginner can u help please
My spider died today, am so sad. I loved my little Mr.Peaches, he was my first spider, that molted out into a male. I know that he had a good life, had him for over two years. He will be sorely missed
Any updates? Just wanna know how they are doing!
Poor baby, she looks so sad. Is that painful for them?
She looks like a cool bracelet (the snake)
Eevee is in excellent hands and will recover after some of Kats Taranhula TLC
11 comment what is good kat you are the best and the greatest I always enjoy your videos and I love your amazing outfits they are so cool Keep up the great work 💪👍💯👍👍💪👍👍
Hello! I hope everyone seeing this comment is having a wonderful day
thank you
Need advice: I was trying to feed my T and dropped the worm before I could grab it, it had already disappeared! Should I leave it alone or take out my T and try and dig it out?
I sure hope she gets well soon.
She's a gorgeous T n I hope everything goes ok on her next moult ...
The fact that none of them have been named Galvantula is upsetting LOL
One of my scorpions had a bad molt just like this. All of his little legs are twisted in some way. (the back pair especially) I'm hoping he'll be okay until the next molt.
I took in a Honduran T albo but all she had was a really bald abdomen lol
Shame this happens same thing happened to my adult P.Rufilata few bent legs and her molt was stuck to her fangs but I managed to help her out shes a bit sluggish but is still eating and drinking hope all goes well with your T kat
I don't have any tarantulas yet I've been studying and looking them up online for the last 6 months but according to everything I've read and watched the isopods shouldn't bother the tarantula but this is just what I researched so far I don't plan on getting my tarantula for another 6 months or so
The Dark Den guy uses isopods, maybe ask him.
Eevee makes me think of V for Vendetta 😊
I feel like this was a missed opportunity to name her mewtwo!! Lol
I have the slings named Mewteo, Mewthree four and five lol
