Thank you so much Tom sp. Patterson for the new Aphonopelma! These are the species I got ~
Aphonopelma gabeli - hardcorearachnids.com/products/aphonopelma-gabeli
Aphonopelma moderatum - hardcorearachnids.com/products/aphonopelma-moderatum
Aphonopelma sp crinirufum - hardcorearachnids.com/products/aphonopelma-cf-crinirufum
imagine being shipped and finally seeing the world again and immediately being called bald
Hi, bald!
😂😂😂
Call that one Saitama (One Punch Man)
...BAALLLD BAALLLLD BAALLLD!!.. my EEEYYYYEEEESSS!
U stole my profile..
Aphonopelma saguaro would be pronounced "Sah-whar-oh" like a saguaro cactus. Thanks for the video! I loooooove the "boring browns" they're so beautiful! Glad you appreciate them too
Aphonopelma supremacy!🔊🔊🔊
I keep all of those same species. You got lucky with that gabeli. They're almost never that calm. In my experience, it's one of the more spicy Aphonopelmas out there. Mine will readily throw up threat postures, and slap at anything near it.
Another "Aphonopelma but probably something else" you should look into if you don't already have one. Aphonopelma anitahofmannae, the Pedregal tarantula. They're fluffy! I believe they are going to be, or have already been, moved to the genus Dugesiella though. But it looks like Aphonopelma, it walks like Aphonopelma, and it quacks like an Aphonopelma, soooo... yeah, they're pretty cool tarantulas. Also recommend Aphonopelma vorhiesi, Aphonopelma armada, and Aphonopelma iodius. All 3 are native to the US, and are distinct in both appearance, and "personality".
a. chalcodes (the arizona blonde specifically) was one of the first tarantulas I truly fell in love with. i've never understood people's tendency to tell other people what they should like. like i'm sorry you don't have taste but i fail to see why that's my problem.
This!! 💯
Yes! I have one A. Chalcodes and I absolutely love her. So much personality and she's always sitting out. I find her super interesting and pretty!
I love Aphonopelma and Brachypelma idc how "basic" they are
Aphonopelma saguaro is a tiny little dwarf species from Arizona! They max out at about 2.5 in. DLS. Barely bigger than Cyriocosmus, but with a much much longer life span. :D
Awesome!! I love dwarf species
That little one was doing the cat not going into the carrier move. So cute.
Hi Kat!, Aphonopelma saguaro is one of the miniature Aphonopelma. It will stay small! Aphonopelma madera will also be small, they are a montane species. Thank you for spreading the good word haha. I study Aphonopelma (PhD) and they are for sure underrated.
Not that I should play favorites of my arachni-kids , but my Aphonopelma chalcodes has me the most smitten by far. They are such a curious little sweetheart and i adore watching them, and about the size of your larger ones. I need more aphonopelmas
mechanical damage is the main worry i have with my tarantulas biting, way more concerned about urticating hairs in the eyes!
some of the slowest growing of my spiders have been the most rewarding :3
I literally just learned about the moderatum and I'm SO JEALOUS you got one! Agreed, anyone that thinks aphonopelma are boring has only seen 2 species of them
I love my little Aphonopelma chalcodes sling. I've had it for about 1.5 years and it's getting ready to molt for the second time. It's still the size of my pinky nail. I'm looking forward to the long haul experience.
I love my chalcodes sling too! I've had mine almost 2 years & it has molted a few times. It has not gotten THAT much bigger, but I'm still surprised by the size it has put on. Growing them up from being super tiny does take patience, but I feel accomplishment with every molt. I feel like my little one is fat as he'll, but always looks like it wants to eat, so I call it "fat, fat" or "McFatterson". Lol And it can't make up it's mind if it wants prekilled or live prey. When I give it live, it acts scared, but always eats it later & when I put prekilled in there, it leaves it alone & then eats right after the 24 hour mark...I'm like "make up your mind already. I don't want to stress you out or have you eating spoiled food".
I love aphonopelma too! Microwilderness mentioned some awesome colored species on his podcast with Richard from Tarantula Collective a while back...he even mentioned one with white on it & I could not believe it. I actually made a note while listening on my phone & now I want to look for it. The ones with the blue chelicerae are definitely a species I will add to my list! So jealous of your unboxing today. Tom always gives you the best boxes!
I am a Tliltocatl, Brachypelma and Grammostola girl. 100% a lover of the so called basic ts. I do love the Ceratogyrus genus too. 😄 I do not own a single Aphonpelma and have 30 ts and 3 jumping spiders. It almost seems criminal. 😂 Such a cute genus. Great video as always Kat. ❤
Laf is lak a box o spiders, u never know what yr gonna git. -- Forrest Gump.
Back in the early 60's as kids we use to collect (we called them night spiders) spiders at night on the farm house windows. We looked for the ugliest. We used glass mason jars. We had jars everywhere!LOL Grandma thought it was funny.
I love my Alphonopelma species. I was inspired to get my first Tarantula, an Alphonopelma steindechnari by this channel. I have an Alphonopelma seemani that is stunning. One of my most beautiful T's.
THERE SO COOL I LOVE THEM OMG(also i made a drawing of one but with a pumkin abdomen )
it's cute the way she butched ' Saguaro ' !🌵✌🤔😅
I love my A Chalcodes babies! My A Seemani was a demon though
I feel you girl. I keep a Black Milk who needs a bit of humidity in his enclosure so I have dirt under my nails 24/7 bc I'm mixing up his substrate like twice a day 🙃
I like you enjoy the Aphonopelma species most out of my critters. They were described as the bulldozers of the tarantula world. And they are. Tom Moran just a rehousing. A great watch.
You are my fav youtuber!! Don't take haters seriously, you're the best!!! Keep of the good work
I definitely need some Aphonopelma action, they are lovely looking T's
They are so adorable!
I did an order with Hardcore a few weeks ago, super awesome experience
I would love to watch breeding guides! We are collecting morphs that we love, and thinking about breeding in the future. (Ball Pythons and Bearded Dragons)
I'd like to get into invertebrates also.
No reptile facts for you.
I can't watch this video until my 5 year old niece watches it with me tomorrow. That's what she told me anyway. LOL. She calls you Spidergirl.
Great video, they are beautiful and the enclosures turned out great. I love unboxing videos.
I have a gabeli and I LOVE her so much, she's my absolute favorite spider
Can not believe you have haters? Who could hate Aphonopelma, they look amazing
I love your content, because of you I went from absolutely no spiders to a jumping spider all the way to two tarantulas, thank you because my Alphonopelma Chalcodes, Seraphim, will always be the treasure of my collection and very special to me
Great video
AMAZING I love these special cut tarantulas!
I ADORE my Aphonopelma Calchodes Dolly. I got her as a freebie from an order and she is my treasure. She is so timid and gentle and I cannot imagine not just loving her on sight and without hesitation. She’s also very fast for all this is said about how they are a do-nothing species.
I also have a moderatum, but that thing burrowed the second it got the chance and I’ve not seen it since. Hoping that it is more out in the open when it gets bigger in twenty years.
Great vid Kat and what cute lil Ts these are.
Awesome video today Kat you rock and happy Thursday you always inspire me every day 💯👍💪💪👍👍
Would you ever get a crab spider? We have them all over the place down in Florida.
Also thank you for your channel! I have the most horrible arachnophobia and your channel has helped me come a long way with conquering it. ❤
I’d deff be open to it! Thank you so much!!
I love Aphonopelma 🥰 currently raising 2 Hentzi slings 🥰 and this Sunday there’s a show I will go to and hope to find some more interesting ones - I want a Moderatum too 🙈
Thanks to you I start my own collection of tarantulas and I love them all ❤😊
Nice enclosures and nice spiders!
I was looking at the blue fellas as well!! Cannot wait to see your updates! Love the moderatums as well!
Love tom he is a good Guy responded right away n was very helpful
I’ve got 4 aphonopelma, different species. Love Them 🤎🧡💛🤍
I love aphonopelma geniuses and big fan of you kat you been a inspiration to me on keeping tarantulas 💯
Aphonopelma will always be my favorite. Hands down.
I have 4 aphonopelma and I just love them I just got a gooty sapphire tarantula last night absolutely gorgeous
I have 4 Aphonopelma I love them!
My Favorites are Aphonopelma & Pseudhapalopus...my Aphonopelma Paloma is my fave
Like your videos ❤
I love my aphonopelma chalcodes she does the best happy dances after stuffing 2 crickets in her mouth at the same time. ☺️
Just got my first ever spider (P. regius) today! Your videos really inspired me to learn more about these creatures.
Hello! new subscriber here,I live in the Philippines and i can say that Tarantula species here are relatively common for example i see people selling B.Hamori slings for like 150 pesos or 2 dollars which is pretty shocking 😮
They are gorgeous creatures!
I think I've commented this to you before, but I am a sucker for the Aphonopelma Genus. There are 11 of the different species that I absolutely HAVE TO HAVE from it lol. So far I have 4. They are so curious and sweet. I love them! My subadult Hentzi and subadult Seemanni are my two largest, at 4 inches, my Moderatum is about 2.5 and my baby Hentzi is almost 3/4 of an inch :) I'm looking for the rest that are on my list. A couple will be difficult to find. I wish you the best with your new babies! Let us know what you name them all ;)
Cool new tarantulas !!!!!!!!!!
Bro i got my first adult turantula aphomopelma chalcodes sorry if i spell it wronf but i love him so much he was so cute and gentle when i first unboxed him im in awe all the time. Hes my first handled big turantula since i got over my fear of spiders two years ago started from jumping spiders and wolf spider and velvet spiders to these beautiful ones who make me love them so much
Aphomapulma hentzi! Let's go!
Yeah tom!
Based. My Hentzi is one of the cutest I got 💕
I think it is mostly the tarantula look itself which makes them cool and is independent from the color. A. chalcodes is one of my dream tarantulas I wish to have one day and I would also love to have an A. hentzi. Also, when I saw a tarantula for the first time and fell in love with that animal as a kid, it was a simple brown one, so I still like such pretty much.
I love the neutral colors my favorites are the light browns and blacks. Just something about them.
lol fight fight fight! im here for the legend the man Bowser!!
Awesome Video Tarantula Kat 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I love this genius of spider I have 2 Arizona blondies. My nephews named one of them Kiwi 🥝
my first full grown t i bought is an a seemanni and she is the most gorgeous and sweetest girl in the world, i hope to introduce more aphonopelma to my family
I mailed you some of my art some time ago(11 by 17 inch originals) , I'm not actually sure how long it'd take to ship, oh and the slings look like something I'd want to add to my collection as well I'll have to keep an eye out for them where I'm at.
I have a bunch of PO Box stuff I’ll open soon 😊
Brown is my least favorite color so to me, they are a bit boring in appearance(i just like bright colors). But do i find them boring in general? No, i love learning about the different kinds, and its fun watching someone like you who loves them!
I like your videos.
My a. moderatum is surprisingly spicy, got as a sling in 2022 and its yet to molt even once with me
Is there another new plush in the works? Your couch is looking a little more crowded vs what you’ve released! 😮
🤫
The tan one? She already did that one and I missed it 😭😭😭😭
Loved this!
I really want one of your enclosure. Not sure if I can order from the uk
Your fingernails look like LOVE! :D
I love all tarantulas :D But curly hairs are my faaaav
Check on hard core arachnids they have a new spiders
Aphonopelma JohnnyCashi is probably one spider I’d want for a pet just bc I love Johnny Cash. Yay for aphonopelmas! 🎉
I wish I had more money to spend on these spiders. I love, love, them!! I wish I had more. I just had my Mexican Red Knee. I wish I could make a channel and sponsors. You do an amazing job with those cute babies and adults and explaining things about them. Your my favorite channel ever!! 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕸️🕸️!
I personally feel that there is no boring spider. And no boring coloration.. I mean each spider has its own unique look. And none of them really look like the others identically. I mean there's always some variation of pattern in coloration. But you know for people to say that spiders are boring they're not even certain species of spiders are not boring. People that really are into the spider hobby would understand that a bit more.
Aphos from northern Mexico are the best looking IMO
My dream tarantula is an A. hentzi, but it would need to be an adult or sub adult male. You see, I am 65, and I figure I have at least 20 years to enjoy my tarantulas, so a tiny sling wouldn’t grow up fast enough, lol!!!
I have another Stichoplastoris (probs spelt that wrong) species, it's the Nicaraguan gold one, eo if my crinirufums end up being that genus too then I'll be perfectly happy with that. Tbh my crinirufums don't seem to burrow as much as my Stichoplastoris does.
I love all of mine.
I've had so many tarantulas grow up well into the juvi stage before my aphonopelma chalcodes sling molted one time. I love it but this is the slowest growing T everrrrrr
Grammostola owns
I'm a Canadian and for the longest time we couldn't even get most Aphonopelma species here! I finally was able to get an A. chalcodes and it verified my suspicion that aphonopelma are in fact THA BEST
I'm in BC and patiently waiting for an aphonopelma chalocodes. Haven't found any aphonopelmas yet
I need a Gumbo update next! 💕😊
He’s alive but been living in the dark a bit to kill an algae problem lmao
Those are all so cute!
Before I got into tarantulas I did kind of think they were all “boring brown,” (and intimidating) spiders. 🫣😅
What I’ve found is, imho, there’s no such thing as a boring tarantula. 🖤 They’re all beautiful.
A. gabeli is one of my favorites in this bunch right now. (Always subject to change.) So pretty as adults.
I have alot of aphonopelma slings but man they take forever to grow😅
I think I'd like a light brown rock 🪨 with legs 😂❤
I like them but they also grow so so so slow 😅. Means they’ll be around for a long time!
How long do these spiders last?
They are so cute
Can we get an update on the rain frogs?
Yeah when I have a chance! But I post regular updates about them on instagram, @tarantula.kat
Tarantula Kat I have a question to ask you. And the reason I'm asking you this specific question is because I don't remember if you've ever owned the species of spider. But have you ever owned a Ogre spider before?
👋 Hey tk!
If I ever got another spider, I'd want another one that was super chill and liked being handled.
I dub her brownie.
How can anyone say that an animal is boring is beyond me and really makes me wonder if they should have any animals at all.
I think there is something to be said about the widespread popularity of Aphonopelma and Brachypelma species... it's kinda like doggies in a way if you consider breeds like golden retrievers and labs. Does EVERYONE seem to have one? Yeah! Cuz they are awesome dogs! The elitists in the hobby forget where they came from. Exotic and rare tarantulas are awesome, absolutely. But you know what else they are??? Expensive. Very expensive. Not everyone has the need or desire to dish out half a rent payment for a spider. You can enjoy the hobby caring for and learning about a species that is affordable and has LOTS of research and information on how to best keep your pet. Idk. Elite tarantula hobbyists remind me of the people that walk around my town with pinched faces and $10,000 Rhodesian Ridgebacks
