    One of our Chihuahuas tries to catch flies whenever they get close to him. He basically never succeeds but the one time he did he just looked really shocked and disgusted and spat out the fly again haha

    Hi Kat. We have watched your videos for about a year now. ( me and my 8 year old son ) my son is ABSOLUTELY obsessed with spiders so I just last week got him a curly haired tarantula. Its ADORABLE!!! I've not let him handle it yet as its bigger than his hand and I feel he / she needs to settle in first 😁

      It was that pic that inspired me to start researching them, then that led onto learning about other Tarantula genus & species.
      Now I have 32 tarantulas..i just love them.
      Enjoy your beautiful blue Versi 😊 xx

    Kat...the superworm got away from the White Knee. I think it came out of its shell & it definitely went into the substrate under the water dish!!!! I had one get away from me today too, but luckily it came back up at some point & I saw it in my Ts mouth. The commenters on Arachnaboards said it is dangerous for a superworm to remain in the enclosure bc the puepae & beetle the superworm turns into can eat/kill a freshly molted tarantula & that the superworm should be removed from the enclosure. I just wanted to let you know what I saw. Great video 💙 💜 💙 💜

    I think my C. versicolor looks roughly the same size as yours did when it was smaller. Mine just molted and the difference (especially in the vividness of it's electric blues) is amazing. I don't think it doubled in size...but its close! Pretty much the same story with my G. pluchripes. it already has the golden leg marks (or at least the first signs of it).
    And the one amazing thing about T's is that they molt their entire body all at once. why can't my beardies do that? lol.

You feed all of your tarantulas so well but I'm wondering if you feed yourself as well as you do them? And I'm not being rude, I'm a Jewish mother and it just comes naturally. You are just so adorable and fun to watch and I'm surprised you don't have 1.5 million viewers because you're just a really great person and you know what you're talking about and that's always entertaining to watch. I have learned so much about tarantulas watching your videos so thank you for what you do.

Also which substrate do you recommend? Thanks so much for all the information you provide everyone here. You are truly remarkable.

    Yay T. albo update! I figured they would have both done equally well in the Tarantula Cribs and Kritter Keeper enclosures, but it was good to see them again! Tarantulas Cribs are definitely my favorite enclosures when I can budget for them, but I keep the majority of my 2.5"+ juvenile and adult tarantulas in Lee's Herp Haven enclosures (which are just Kritter Keepers with snazzy green, brown, and black tops) since they're super affordable, look reasonably nice, and have fantastic ventilation. I like Medium size for juveniles and the XL for adults that don't get super huge. I know a lotta folks rag on Kritter Keepers, but in my experience they're pretty darn great budget friendly enclosures for species that aren't too moisture dependant =)
