    The ongoing rivalry between Richard and Tarantula Kat is the real backbone of the tarantula hobby.

    Me: terrified of spiders, also me: watched this whole video. I am both fascinated and horrified. Good job taking great care of your kinda furry fur child though. 10/10 on that new enclosure

    I rehoused my T Stirmi (Kumo) 16 months ago and when I used the catch bin (cup way too small) on her, she stridulated too. She's grown larger, now 10" leg span and I figured her enclosure was a bit ratty so went to rehouse her again. When I put the catch bin over her this time she reared right up in threat pose, and not wanting her to strike down with those 3/4" long fangs, I decided to leave her and wait and see if she starts looking uncomfortable in her enclosure. But she is a sweet girl.

    That hissing spider is going to have a great time with its enclosure. Good job building it that probably took a while building and decorating it since this is like a mansion but for a spider.

  • @suehenderson9862

    She’s a beauty! I thought about keeping a Chilean rose tarantula once upon a time since they are so overbred, but realized I’m not willing to deal with urticarial hairs or the anxiety with each molt.
    So I’ll stick to admiring others’ tarantulas.

    • @tarantulakat
      @tarantulakat  12 днів тому +2

    I’ve never seen a tank that has a place to actually drain water out of the drainage layer. When I saw that I audibly said “thats so cool!!” Because I’d always wondered how people drained the water from the bottom of the tank, and it helps so much knowing that because I have a cobalt blue and her last tank before her rehouse grew mold in the bottom of the tank because of all the moisture (i also didn’t know how to set up a drainage layer at the time though, so this video is very helpful:) )

    A friend of mine had an enclosure that big for his T blondi. She had about the same color as the substrate. I once fed her. Damn, that was the biggest spider I ever have seen. I did not see it coming. It was like the entire substrate moved and grew legs ... and fangs.

    I don't know anything about spiders or reptiles but it is interesting to see how such a little one can live in a cage. It is a very beautiful animal. I think the spider is very happy with the bigger house. Greetings from the Netherlands

    Hi Kat, great job on the new enclosure. I dread the time when my T Stirmi grows to large for her current enclosure. Must admit I have never heard mine "hiss" yet. But that's fine, don't think I will put my hand in to see if she will hiss if provoked lol. Gloves are great idea, the urticating hairs on my L Para were bad enough, but the Stirmi wins the prize 😊

    I have an African fire skink and she was always uprooting some of her plants. I found some little cages for the plants so I decided to do a little experiment. I have them covering the base of the plant. They’re no longer being uprooted and are doing great. I don’t know if that might be of help to keeping the plants safe.
