I swear some people are more afraid of accurate information and learning than an aracnophobe is of tarantulas! Imagine banning someone for trying to post an educational blurb! 😒😧
This was great, Kat! Thanks for trying to help educate and inform, here and elsewhere. 😊
Some People are just snowflakes
I think arachnids would be happy knowing that they look so scary it’s considered a mental illness to be afraid of them. They be like:
“yeah I’m dangerous don’t fuck with me 😎”
lol
I always wondered if there are kaiju which have anthropophobia. Like, if humans can be terrified of creatures they dwarf, maybe they're not the only ones and maybe a human might be terrifying to a creature several times its size?
@@jaschabull2365 I can't remember if it's myth or not, but aren't elephants super scared of mice? Might be a similar thing.
@@TheCmDragon
That one seems a bit up in the air. Mythbusters tried it out once, and found the elephant they were working with seemed pretty apprehensive of the mouse, but it was pointed out that this was a white lab mouse, which elephants don't see that often, so it might not have been mice in general.
In any case, a mouse can certainly scare a much larger human.
I never thought that red knees venom would be weaker than a typical house spiders venom.
But also educating everyone about spiders is really important, i honestly wish the first spider I picked up wasn't a jumping spider and was a tarantula like a red knee due to how generally docile they are, but of course jumping spiders has helped quite the number of people get over their fear of arachnids! If anything they should change the Tarantula in animal crossing to a OBT 😂
It's really going to depend I guess on your location but those false widows can take a tarantula down easily! Also keep in mind, no tarantula is deadly but there are a few true spiders that are.
Make it a poecilotheria and now we're talking!
You are better off not being part of that toxic group. They sound more dangerous than the animal you're informing us about!
Love the video! Nice tattoo!
Who wouldn't want to visit her island, am I right? 💜
I started keeping tarantulas and scorpions because they scare the shit out of me. Lifelong arachnophobe. But I have always appreciated their beauty. There has been an addendum to the flight or fight response. Fight. Flight. Or befriend. I have chosen the latter.
Im proud of u bro . A lot of people wouldn’t do that . I like tarantulas and scorpions but my mom has arachnophobia I wish media would stop giving them such a bad rep.
Ahh, the Pokémon reaction.
How did you manage to film this video while being in so much danger the whole time?!!
I know, right? Those worms were terrifying even the tarantulas!
Hahaha! Great comment!
Right? I was afraid for her life the whole time!
Tarantulas' reaction to food
"Aww yiss gimme!"
"Do i want it? Maybe i don't. Maybe i do. Okay, I want."
"Ew get that thing away from me!"
And good ol'
"Meh 😐"
It's good to know that Peaches is doing ok. I hope the person who abandoned her feels bad.
Being into arachnids most of my life I've dealt with so many people that are "arachnophobic" or "hate spiders" for no reason. I had this fun situation with a horse girl in school and about how she hated spiders and they were scary and had to mention it because I had a print out on my binder of my passed away spider stevie that I had for a long time. I saw she had Horses on her binder and immediately told her I was terrified of horses (which I am scared of horses since I fell of a horse as a kid and shattered my arm and also had a different horse rip a chunk of my hair out). She said my fear was ridiculous since the horse didn't mean to break my arm and I proceeded to tell her that her fear is ridiculous since no spider wants to be anywhere near her.
F for Stevie ;-;
Good point! I find it interesting that arachnophobia is almost socially accepted because "Spiders scary, yo!", whereas fear of horses or dogs is generally considered "silly". In reality, a dog can be much more dangerous than any tarantula ever could. But then again, phobias are by their very definition irrational so logic doesn't really apply to them.
@@jaschabull2365 Will always remember her! She laid a hidden sac and we had spiderlings escape and in our house all summer that year.... The name stevie puts a shiver down my moms spine xD
@@joppek77 true but I feel a lot of the people that say they have a phobia are the people that aren't so afraid that they run in the other direction but rather are the ones that go in to squish em. I have two kids and have been teaching them that spiders aren't scary but my oldest is in kindergarten and has been having conflicted knowledge from other kids saying they are "gross" "scary" etc. Yesterday my kids followed a stink bug and were telling the neighbor boy not to squish him and that he won't stink as long as we don't touch or poke him. Every time we got up to walk in the area the girls were yelling "Don't squish him!"
@@joppek77
Aren't dogs the most common animal to have a phobia of next to spiders? Maybe Kat should've asked that group why no one had to post trigger warnings before sharing a picture of Isabelle.
It’s funny the wasp,scorpions and tarantulas are dramatized but the bees run away from you if you suddenly move and despawn which I find ironic since so many ppl are scared of them too
Edit: Also I find it funny the argiope spiders in the trees basically induce no fear in the player character
Hi Ket, I got over my arachnophobia by binge watching your videos and those of many of your UA-camr friends, like The Dark Den, and Exotics Lair and others. Thanks to you and the other T keepers for helping, you're doing a great service to educating people about T's and other spiders
I love Animal Crossing and I also love your channel! Had a feeling youd be a big Flick fan lmao
Sorry to hear that the ACNH group was so weird about just a tattoo and some info... As someone with diagnosed PTSD, I dont think they understand how triggers and trigger warnings work.
I never understood why they were so scary in the game. They’re only scary for people with the fear!
Genuinely so thankful that you're constantly taking the time to educate people on tarantula/spider myths, and I'm sorry you're receiving backlash for it - although, not surprised. Your channel absolutely has an impact, though. If not for you, I genuinely think I'd still be near-terrified of spiders, and 100% would not own the two tarantulas that I have now. The more I've come to appreciate spiders, the more I've begun to also appreciate the people who take the time to educate others about them.
i got a b smithi as my first tarantula and she’s the cutest, never even threat posed or kicked hairs in the 5 years i’ve had her.
Hi Kat luv the vid and the girls were gorgeous ...
I have a mexican red knee named Chili. She is the most chill amazing T. Great video. :)
Our snake is named Chili!
@@tarantulakat my cat is named Chili
I LOVE your tattoo!! I love animal crossing! I don't have Wi-Fi so I can't do the bug off... I'm only a month in the game with my seven year old son we share an island so we haven't met everyone yet.
I've experienced similar issues whenever I tried to join Animal Crossing groups and trying to debunk and misunderstood facts about tarantulas, especially the Brachypelma portrayed in this game. Like I try to be accommodating towards people are arachnophobic and maybe I'll tell a few things what makes them not scary, but I know that isn't enough. I don't show pictures anymore after I've gotten into arguments with people saying what I say doesn't count for just because I didn't own a tarantula back then, and that doesn't qualify me to have a saying in things, which I think was insulting.. I research tarantulas on a constant basis and I started my education 4 years ago just to get my first 2 last year. Seriously, I appreciate you doing a video to debunk the myth behind these misunderstood critters.
I run my own Discord group and sometimes I display my tarantula images on there. I use the spoiler tag so that people can navigate photos without freaking out. It seems to be helping but having to do this through mobile is rocket science....
Love how you brought two of my favorite topics together in this video!
Number of people killed by tarantula bites throughout history: Insignificant
Number of people banned on forums for stating proving a mod wrong: Extremely significant and further disturbing.
It's going to be funny when the cancel culture has no one left to cancel and they start cancelling themselves. Oh wait, it's already happening.
Are you using the new camera? Looks super sharpe and clear.
yes thank you
My B. Smithi was the most easy going of any tarantula I've had. My 5th one.
Thank you again Kat for an informative and enjoyable video!
I used to be absolutely terrified of spiders. When I was a very small child (about 1.5 y/o), I almost picked up a black widow. My mother yelled/screamed and according to my Grandmother, that terrified me beyond terrify. From that point on I was horrified anytime I saw a spider. When I got into my 30s, I was just sick and tired of being afraid so I got my first tarantula, Rose Hair. It took me a while but after taking care of her and learning I am no longer afraid. Now, I have 7 and I would love a whole lot more! Thank's Kat for the videos, they're great! :-)
It’s so good to find that two people I appreciate so much on UA-cam are friends IRL
Love you guys!!!!
I really want to Thankyou for the information given in this video! I grew up believing I was an arachnophobia cause I freeze and my hearing goes unclear anytime seeing a spider...after watching you & Exotics Lair ♥️ has made me realize and understand they are not so bad and after being more educated on spiders I’ve now come to think there so cute and a really cool hobby 👏🏻♥️ Thankyou Thankyou !!! 😊
What's good, Kat. Big respect to you on handling the Tarantulas. Keep it over 9000.
This game actually got me interested in the tarantula hobby a year ago... Started doing tons of research and found your channel and omg they’re so cute. I used to be terrified of spiders and now my first tarantula (B. Smithi of course inspired by animal crossing !) is coming in next week :D
Congrats! That's awesome! Enjoy your new fuzzy buddy! 😄
@@dorabrooks76 thank you !!
I heard that in Animal Crossing you can even turn your island into some kind of "tarantula island"... This involves deforestation, I think. What are your thoughts about that (if it's even a thing)?
Anyway, after that, I did not expect this degree of accuracy to the natural world from this game!
That's because of the way that insects are set to spawn in the game. If you have no flowers, no trees and no tree stumps then insects that spawn on those can't appear on the island. Leaving only ones that spawn on the ground, tarantulas/scorpions, or ones that just fly in the air without needing flowers around them. It's not meant to be accurate to real life, just the way that tarantulas are set to spawn on the ground so you can make them more common by getting rid of everything else.
@@sylph4596 Ah yes, I suspected it had something to do with spawn camping...
Thanks for the clarification!
I'm rationally afraid of spider's. But I like your videos and appreciate learning about tarantulas from a safe distance. :D
I used to be scared of spiders however I’m not anymore and I’m finding your videos facinating
Hi kat you are the best and the greatest keep it up you always inspire me everyday 💯💪👍💪💯💪👍💪💪💯
Not familiar with animal crossing. But I love tarantulas.
Thanks for all the awesome videos you have gotten me into the hobby! Keep up the great work!
Finally! Thank you for the Brachy updates! 🥰🥰🥰
Aww this is such a nice video!! Would love to come visit your island sometime!! It's so cool to find animal crossing fans outside of animal crossing groups
Great video Kat!
Animal Crossing City Folk for the Wii is what got me interested in tarantulas when I was in middle school! Now I’m a huge fan of all kinds of spiders :)
These are some of the most gorgeous🥰🥰🥰 tarantula specimens.....the vibrant red is hard to compete with....hands down!!😎😎😎
Relatable and informative :D.
I once posted a screenshot of the L. parahybana in Planet Zoo to one of their discords and got a trigger warning too. I complied and added the warning/spoiler tag, but I also felt the same way. I ended up writing a big blurb about how these animals are misunderstood/fragile and how the number of people with medically significant arachnophobia is probably much smaller than most people think. Thankfully the mod in that place actually agreed and said they would look into it rather than ban me.
It's just absurd how a place for communicating about a game with these animals already in these games would need a trigger warning. Gore or nudity I understand, even if I'm not affected by seeing it, but these are just animals. They share this planet with us and are just trying to live their lives 😣
I love flick so much! I think the ACNH tarantula is a Mexican Red Knee too, they're so popular in media as you know. Now I want to get an Animal Crossing tarantula tattoo too! I have a Grammastola pulchra on my back!
Love this video, gave a lot of good information
Before finding your videos and channel I was absolutely terrified of all spiders (though my 8 year old daughter has wanted a tarantula since she could say the word) thanks to you I think they are adorable (from a distance *still afraid*) thanks for helping me through this fear.
I used to be terrified of spiders, would get anxiety attacks and all but for some reason since i discovered your channel I've learned a lot about them and i gotta say I'm so amazed about how you care for all your pets and the love you give them.
I really now think differently and whenever i see a spider in my house, I'm no longer that afraid, so thank you so much!
I love animal crossing and definitely this video helped a lot to see how tarantulas can be so cute in a way and so gentle
This was a fantastic video woman! Love it! You rock!
Animal Crossing and Kat?! Sweeeet
Thank you for the fun educational video :) I hope more people were able to learn from this!!!
Thank you for your content. I was afraid of spiders and after watching your videos I have become less scared and much more interested in spiders. I can’t thank you enough. Keep up the great videos and thank you again!
Terrific video!! I love how you’re educating people! You’re very good at it.
I have a brachypelma hamori juvenile that built a whole underground den. I’ve had her a month and have not seen her out! I can see her from the side underground & she scurries when I want to see her. I wish I could see if she’s eating. I left a hornworm in there & it’s just crawling all over the enclosure. 🥺
today is my daughter's birthday and we took several species of our pet insects and 1 tarantula to her school for show n tell! she had a great time and all of the kids were FASCINATED! they really like the giant molt of my Avic avic. one of the boys said, "you have pet bugs, Rosabelle?!" haha was a good morning!
Very interesting and cool video !! Thanks !!
Love your videos! I’ve been a subscriber for about 5-6 months and love everything you post. I have a 6 month old Caribena Versicolor. Not sure if it’s male or female yet, but we have named it Itsy Bitsy. 😊
Getting me through work again kat. ❤️ u
Such a good video!!
This is a very cool video.thanks for sharing.
This is the earliest I've been yay love yr tattoo and your hair color is 🔥 you have amazing collection 💗
Hi Kat!
I’m a new subscriber. I have to tell you that you are so amazing! I live in New Brunswick Canada! I’m trying to overcome my fear of spiders. I see many since I live in a wooded area with a pool! I have a lady in my garage that spins a huge web! She always climbs away when I drive in! Now I know she is going to her safe spot! Thank you for great advice!
Hey Kat... great video! You did a great job. I can't understand why people are afraid of spiders.... I have a love of them that I can't explain but I can see why some people are afraid. For myself... I haven't seen spood that I haven't loved
All I can imagine now is tons of tarantula species being added to animal crossing. It would be so much fun.
Your hair looks great with a middle part! It looks great regardless but I’m digging the middle part ☺️
I LOVE YOUR FLICK SHIRT OMG AAA
;///; i have a b.hamorii ling ,it's my first tarántula ever!! I'm so excited to see how it grows!!
EDITED.
i love this video, it's so educational.
I wish they added new types of tarantulas into ACNH.
Also please don't think bad about all the groups of this game, indeed they where so mean with you and I don't understand why... Sometimes people feels attacked when they don't have anymore arguments to fight with.
Now I want to play Animal Crossing too. The T”s are so gorgeous. I just love their colors.
Hello great video information and update Kat
Love your video
Your on fire with uploads!!!!!!!! 💥🔥☄️🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for doing this! I wish more people would just open their minds and have the decency to try and learn things and let themselves be educated. I don't get why there are people who are so afraid of learning.
Another cool thing to note about the tarantulas in the game is that if you aren't carrying your net, they don't see you as a threat, you can get close to them with no problem, except that they might walk away, haha. so you can run around at night all you want, no need to be afraid of the tarantulas, UNLESS you are running around with your net equipped lol
I love this video! I named my b. smithi spiderling Flick.
Love your tattoo
You are the Flick of Spider tubers 💜🦇💜
Can't belive how late I have been these past 4 vids, this is the longest I've been without a love heart from kat lol.
Thanks for this awesome & very informative video. Sorry you got banned from a group for giving educational advice, some people just suck. You rock
Yo I woulda loved the crap out of that post. It's great to learn new things
I’m looking into getting a beginner tarantula even thou I’m arachnophobic. I feel like the fear can be lifted from over time. Great content as always Kat
This is a real fun video :-)
I love the red knee tarantulas! I have a sticker I made that was colored after one on my laptop. I did see one in person at petco (I was getting a new heat mat for my lizard cause it was on sale there). One day I hope to get a red knee, Arizona blond, or the rose hair one (science names are slipping me rn) my mom looked at me like I was crazy when I was excited at seeing the one at the pet store, it looked like a sling, probably the size of a quarter or silver dollar.
My fear of spiders comes from when my dad brought me to see arachnophobia in 3d when it came out when I was 7. It has gotten better by watching your videos. I no longer fear spiders or tarantulas. If I come across one in daily life I can observe it or relocate it safely outside. 🙏
Like #161🙏🏽 new addition to the collection from the last All Animal Expo in St Charles IL. A K. Brunnipes!🤯
Awesomeness! 🕷🕷🕷
Heey Kat!! The girls are GORGEOUS!!! 🖤🕷
Stella was so sweet! I am one of the crazies that LOVE spiders and bugs:) I'm a isopod mom but can't wait to get a spider or 2;)
Great video
beautiful arachnid!
I loved this video. A great way to show how docile tarantulas can be. Sorry you got blocked from that page when you were just being informative.
Tarantulas don't "chase," but there i a legend about it that people keep sharing. The huge Central and South American huntsman spiders do something like chasing, the species colloquially called the Brazilian walking spider. They are incredibly docile during the day and are easy for us to spot when they fail to get back to the trees to hide during the day. There's no intention to bite or harm it's just a really ineffective hiding instinct. They are generally arboreal, but hunting often includes running around at ground level at night. When threatened, they try to escape. Their method of escape is up, even if it's climbing the very thing that threatens them. So hilariously, they will try to climb the nearest thing to get away and that is sometimes... you. They were once considered the world's largest spider, so this usually invokes a terrifying experience in the person being climbed. Freaking out while being climbed by such a large spider is a good way to get bitten. No one ever accused these spiders of being particularly smart, but their behavior gets misinterpreted very easily. These spiders are actually edible and are so docile that kids are known to play with them during the day. It's not really play for the spider, though. They are just lethargic and trying to endure the abuse to get away and find a better place to hide. Poor spiders. Lol
I love this video!!!!
I went to visit my daughter and her family in Santa Ysabel California one time a few years ago. We went out one day and when we came home we were greeted by a beautiful big tarantula on her front door! It was beautiful! I enjoyed its visit. We all went into the house and left it on the door. Later it had moved to a post on the front porch then it disappeared. I have no idea what kind it was but I was so happy!
Yes queen go off on the group that banned you!!
😂 I had to wait a bit to make this so I wouldn’t come off too salty
Hi Kat !
Where did you purchase those terrariums of the Brachypelma hamorii ?
They look great and seem to be very practical!🔥
Awwwwmaahhgoddd I love this!🖤 also I know she doesn't specifically target me, but my violaceopes HATES ME😅 she wants me dead
Don't do drugs kids, don't do drugs. Please ignore this woman's UA-cam profile pic.
@@Geralt_of-Rivia drugs are fun sometimes
Those animal crossing groups are ridiculous. I was muted/half banned because I commented on a post that someone posted the pioneer women table set. I just simply commented and said “oh my mom loves pioneer women! I tagged her in this too’ I never thought that it looks like the table set in the game” a few weeks later I get muted, because I said the name brand of the item. There was no rules, but they tried to indicate they had a good reason. It was weird. I feel your “getting banned”
Love your videos! Love animal crossing 💕
And I forgot to mention I have a little Mexican redknee. He/she is finally showing their adult colors after the last molt! I’m excited 💕💕
Imagine being banned for a picture of a fake cartoon picture of a spider -_-
Great video! I grew up keeping Ts. Got my first one in 90s (G.porteri) and I kept them ever since (+ scorpions). As I learned the hard way people are super afraid of them but there is literally no reason. Even my OWs are good. It`s all about respect. I give them naturalistic enclosures suited for every individual genus and I do a ton of research to keep them in good condition. I don`t handle them. Many people are like: "How can you even sleep?" or "They will kill you." No they will not. They want to be alone, secure and undisturbed. Even the infamous OBT is 99% time likely to retreat into the safety of its burrow. I love my arachnids and I find them to be fascinating.
I've heard from some keepers and in my own experience that behaviour and housing can correlate a lot. Give em the correct environment and they tend not to be defensive
Animal crossing is so much fun, my favourite version to play is the really old game cube version!! I dont think that version has a tarantula but I could be mistaken!!
Redknee is my fav, so i started in this hobby, i have her 12 years now.
I love animal crossing and tarantulas!
lol sorry you had to deal with that. I use to be active in a couple fb groups back in 2015 and 2016. They really went downhill. Hate walking on eggshells and dealing with weirdos on a power trip.
I also love how they make it strigulate (spelling may be off) lol
Such gentle girls ;-; So cute. I never see you on pocket camp anymore :O (zenith)
You’re right I really need to get back into it
Omg, I still haven't caught one. Lol it is so frustrating. Also I feel their pain those worms make my skin crawl and give me the heeby geebys too.
