I am absolutely terrified of spiders and can't even be in the same room with a tarantula. My boyfriend thinks I'm a weirdo for watching these as I either flip out about the tiniest spider that makes it's presence known or become paralysed with fear if the spider is bigger than a dime. Your videos are amazing and I find myself being able to tolerate spiders a little bit more after watching each video that you post. Your little velvet spider has grown on me and I find it very cute. Thank you for being you and helping me overcome my fear little by little.
@@mrspeigle1 it took a bit for me to come around but when I watched the video where she introduced it (the velvet is Wednesday right? I'm too tired to go back through the videos right now) I was like "ohhh that one is frikkin cute! Wait, wtf am I saying?!" For some reason Kat's demeanor is very calming, it's easy for me to watch a whole video without getting anxious and have to watch something else.
@@irishlove86 cat has a few jumping spider videos as well, there's actually a video of my favorite species which looks like it has cat ears ua-cam.com/video/N21gL57xknE/v-deo.html Also alot of interesting facts in this one.
I'm so glad that you're coming around to them! Look, before you know it, you're going to be getting your own jumping spider and then your very own tarantula!😄😄😄
@@amypanddirtytoo1926 scorpions don't scare me at all (I don't consider myself a true arachnophobe because of that) so maybe I'll start with one of those eventually 😅
I’ve had 3 Goliath Bird Eaters and ALL of them have been really gentle and never flicked hairs. They’re a lot more passive than people think if you’re gentle with them
I think it depends on the species. When I was a kid there were wild tarantulas that were very friendly. One even crawled up my leg & then my arm & hung out on my shoulder! It stayed for awhile & then climbed down & away. Such a beauty!☺️
your channel helps with my arachnophobia. it shows me there isn't much to be scared of and that spiders are usually more scared of you than the other way around.
Having to be brave to navigate around one's own pet certainly gives a curious perspective to pet ownership! Reminds me of many years ago when I briefly kept a Southern African Rain Spider. A monstrous beast with a bad attitude and as fast as lightning. It escaped one time and my parents wanted to kick me out because I was too scared to go and search my room for my spider.
My brother and I terrified my poor Mom as teens with SOOO many of her worst nightmares! Reptiles, snakes, monitor lizard, Goliath bird eating tarantula, scorpions, and 2 pit vipers and there were a few escapes that drove her out of her own house for the night (and nearly got us thrown out!) But ultimately, my Mother was pretty easy going, all things considered!😆❤
Thank you for talking about her urticating hairs and wearing appropriate protection. Some people might think it's cool to not even wear gloves, but I think you're smarter and therefore *cooler* for gearing up- _especially_ with a new spider whose temperment you don't know yet. Cheers! 😊
When I had my 2 Goliath Tarantulas, I kept them in 20 gallon long aquariums. At the time, both were much larger than yours, but they had room to move around. I 💕 love the way you arranged the enclosure for your Tarantula. I never knew much about the kind of plants to use, so I opted for other decorations, like miniature cattle skulls that the pet stores sell or flat pieces of rock. Also, I would feed them mice once in a while, crickets, mealworms or large hissing cockroaches!
Who were you FaceTiming 👀? Zelda is gorgeous! I’m glad you finally caved and bought yourself one of the best species in the hobby (maybe I’m biased) 🕷!
Hmm, i know that feeling. I used to have arachnofobia as a kid, due to a cousin owning a tarantula and him lending me books about them, i owned my first Brachypelma smithi at 15, my phobia was gone very quickly. I have a feeling one day you have your own collection of tarantulas in a while. Greetings from the Netherlands!
@@gazepskotzs4 that’s amazing! I probably won’t have my own but I’m considering getting a snake some day. I have a friend who also had a fear of spiders. They jumped in head first and bought a tarantula and forced their self to take care of it. Now they’re not afraid of them anymore. Not sure if they are comfortable enough to hold one, but they’ve since gotten 3 more.
@@ravenm6443 Snakes are awesome too! Are there reptile conventions/ markets near you? Because you see and learn a lot there, plus they are just awesome! Ps sorry for my late response, youtube fails too show them to me.
I bought my T stirmi 2 years ago, always wanted one and I love that I decided to spend the not small amount of money I paid for her. Got her from a responsible breeder I know personally and she’s captivity bred, was a not tiny sling 🥰 Now she’s eating like a machine and growing like there’s no tomorrow 😂 I rehoused her into a huge exoterra tank. Don’t know if I have to rehouse her again, I wouldn’t be unhappy about no more rehousings... she has some temper issues and doesn’t like me 🤣 At the moment, she eats 1-3 roaches, superworms or grasshoppers a day. She usually stops eating some days before molting, does her molting process, waits for the exoskeleton to harden and starts with eating like crazy again 🥳 She‘s the only T that I see drinking from her water dish, despite the fact I provide her enough well watered feeders and the humidity in the enclosure that she needs. Have fun with your goliath, dear Kat 💕 it‘s beautiful 💕 greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Bought my first jumper because of you and your channel and she arrive today. She is settling in nicely, now I just have to hope my pupae hatch for her dinner. Thanks Kat
@@gazepskotzs4 I was anxious about her eating but we got there in the end, she clearly just wasn't hungry and I was an over anxious parent. She's been here for two weeks now and is very happy!
@@Patristica Being overanxious , especially with an animal that has to get used to a new home sounds like me, i can relate. But it is good to hear that your new pet eats well now. Are you thinking about breeding themnin the future.
just so you know those roots on the pothos only need to be about a inch or two long to be able to root properly in the soil! :)) it should only take three weeks or a month to grow roots in the water. I’ve been propagating pothos plants for friends and family for a while now and just recently started adding them to my tarantula enclosure
Jealous! She is amazing! In 2010 I visited a friend who had an adult female T.blondi and in person these spiders are breathtaking. I still prefer OWs but Theraphosa are insanely beautiful.
Thanks so much for the business!! I hope you enjoy her as much as I did! She molted about 3 weeks ago and I have it, if you would like it. That enclosure is fantastic! Thanks again!!
Welcome to the club! They're lovely spiders, very misunderstood. Sometimes people think they're aggressive but they're not, just enthusiastic. My Bella is just the same. Just wait to see Zelda in pre-moult, waddling about with a giant, darkened abdomen, it's a treat!
Just bought a small terrestrial crib from Tarantula Cribs for our new Brazilian black baby. I really love the way their cribs are designed, and hope they are offering the gigantic size by the time we need it. That is the perfect size enclosure for any large tarantula! Thanks so much for the referral to TC. Our new B'🖤 has already bulldozed itself a nice underground lair. Can't wait to upgrade to a larger crib!
I literally have dreams that I have baby tarantulas in an enclosure and I'm trying to rehouse them and they just bolt everywhere and then I wake up. I don't even own tarantulas but I love these videos ❤️
That moment when I have a severe fear of spiders, but I'm also very interested in learning about them because they are interesting. But looking at them ;w; the spooks. I'll probably have nightmares tonight about spiders, but it's worth it. AI just really like you and I love watching the re-housing, putting together the new home for the tarantula. And she is beautiful, even with her scary legs XD
There's just something about T. Stirmi, not just their size, but something is special about these T's that i just can't put my finger on! Congrats on the new addition!
Congratulations Kat on your big girl! I had a T. blondi back in the day. She was slow moving and didn't kick hairs until one day I caught her in a bad mood and got nailed. They are incredibly fast when they want to be. Be safe and enjoy her, just be more careful than I was with mine. You continue to be my favorite UA-camr. Every blessing.
Absolutely beautiful spider i recently got into some tarantulas myself got 5 of them one red rump. One salmon pink bird eater one scarlet bird eater one curly hair and a Guatamalan tiger rump.tarantulas are very cool
That leafy vine is THE easiest plant to root or propagate. You can literally cut a pice off and grow it in JUST water with JUST regular indoor lighting. It doesn't require actual sunlight to grow! Indoor lighting produces enough lumens to grow the plant! I love those things.
Kat, I absolutely love your videos! You always brighten my day when you post a new one ❤🕷 hope you're doing well and your family also.😊 stunning T. Stirmi by the way!
Zelda is Hella cool 😎...especially her honest fear of the Giant bird eater. I'll never get over my fear of getting bit. I once purchased a scorpion and the dude at the pet shop said " now remember...whatever you do, Don't get stung by this thing. I answered " oh...you needn't worry about that "
WOW! I am afraid of spiders, especially Tarantulas! My dad took me hunting when I was 5 and found a large Tarantula in the mountains; it was bigger then Zelda. I flipped out and threw it and got a spanking. I still can feel the weight and the fuzziness of the spider in my hand. Since then, I have avoided Tarantulas - even a TV show makes me quiver. My friend has a Jumping Spider as a pet and it is smart and very cool to watch. Thru researching her spider, I came across your channel and I am impressed. Your calm gentle nature helped me chill and watch your videos, it has helped aspects of my phobia.
Get some Prid. I use it to get stingers out of peoples kids skin. As well as splinters. It'll help numb the pain and draw it out. It's AMAZING. I always have some on hand.
They are one of the calmest and most well-tempered T's on average that I've been around. They seem to know they are big and just don't worry about the small things. Definitely right about the hairs lol.
My dude is very skittish. He is extremely food aggressive also, which makes me nervous to even do regular maintenance at times. He thinks everything is food.
@@katyann4198 He's not half wrong lol. For most of his life, everything that has gone into his enclosure w/e has been food. If you're wanting to perhaps start handling them. get some gloves thick enough to not be punctured, but not too thick here you have no feeling of a sense of where they're moving. Kat had the right idea for hair protection with the long sleeves, mask, and gloves. I've had insulation irritate me less. I want to get myself a GBB but with the pandemic lockdowns. People are even sketchier than before and more inclined to do the wrong thing. I keep hearing how bad some deliveries are.
Hello from England, I've just subbed to your channel. I'm taking delivery of my first tarantula tomorrow. A Brazilian white knee young unsexed spider. Here in England prices are extortionate. I saw a white knee adult female and the asking price was £440. I look forward to seeing more of your channel and hopefully gain some knowledge. Thank you.
This is an awesome T. Stirmi. I remember asking you before how you felt about getting a T. Blondi, but I definetly think T. Stirmi is a much more magnanimous tarantula.
My second tarantula I ever had was a t. Blondi, I named her Ungoliant(if you know what that's from, you get a gold star). To this day, never seen another t with such impressive takedowns. Had her for 17 years. I loved her dearly, though I believe she hated me her entire life. She was MEAN and glorious. When my daughter is older I will get another one for her.
I've been waiting for you to take this plunge, lol! You won't be let down, I promise. My T. stirmi Zilla is a beast and I love to watch him eat...you can actually hear these big fellas coming to ambush their prey 🖤🕷What a beautiful gal you have!
KAT one of my all time favorites before I even got into the hobby! You need one I have a young adult female possibly wild caught but she’s in good health and she was at a good price! And I have a 100 captive breed juvenile. Hoping for a male but they are so amazing and beautiful
I just got a T. stirmi, it was a tough choice between the two. I finally succumbed to the burgundy because it seems the majority of them get larger than the blondis in captivity. Excellent addition, my dear!
I absolutely love my MM Stirmi. He's huge but a giant baby. He hides behind his hide for a day every single time I have to refill his water dish 😂 he's big but a scaredy cat and it's adorable. They're a wonderful species and always hungry lol
How do you maintenance something like this?? And how often?? Please do a maintenance video with an air boreal Species and tank too I’m new to tarantula keeping and so interested and curious! Plus your one of thee best!
Love your new T, Kat!!!! I'm in the same boat as you- while I do love this species and think they are so cool, I just don't know if I am equipped enough to keep them as a pet. But maybe one day!!! And also, a little tip for you- a general rule for potting cuttings in soil is to do so when the roots are at least 2 inches long☺ so i definitely think your pothos was good to go.
I'm terrified of arachnids and yet I can't stop watching your channel. Been hooked since I saw your lil velvet spider vid. Low-key helps with my arachnaphobia ^-^ Was wondering when you'd get one of these bad bois :D
Update: ua-cam.com/video/roDbPc3nnv8/v-deo.html
im thinking bout getting one and naming her Rasputia lol
Honestly, my dream tarantula since I was a teen! Gorgeous spider!

I almost expected you to name her Linda for a moment there to mess with Petko lol! Zelda fits her though! Very pretty big girl!

I would have named her Gohma, but Zelda is a much better name.

Gorgeous! Her color matches yours, I can see why your friend chose her for you 🥰
LOVE tarantulas, I'm getting my first either August or September, it's going to be a curly hair sling,
so entertaining and informative! The Phidippus Project loves your videos.
good job Kat ! Every collection needs a T stirmi ! Awsome species
LOVE the name. She’s so gentle and pretty 😍
Love your vids from the UK most women run from penny sized spiders love it
Beautiful. I hate spiders (sorry) but I am learning SO much from you. Thank you! New respect here. 💕
That's alot of balls! THATS A HUGE HIDE! THATS A BIG ROOT!!! WOW THATS A BIG T 🕷
I genuinely cannot believe how chill she is. She’s more chill than my Arizona blonde
KAT one of my all time favorites before I even got into the hobby! You need one I have a young adult female possibly wild caught but she’s in good health and she was at a good price! And I have a 100 captive breed juvenile. Hoping for a male but they are so amazing and beautiful
I got a T. Stirmi and it's a wonderful feeder and is very fast.
I just got a T. stirmi, it was a tough choice between the two. I finally succumbed to the burgundy because it seems the majority of them get larger than the blondis in captivity. Excellent addition, my dear!
I got waaaayyyy too excited when I saw this title!!!!
Wow she is beautiful & seems very chilled. Love her enclosure.
She is so mellow and adorable 🥹
What a beautiful tarantula. Can see that being a future buy for me. Love the enclosure set up.
I absolutely love my MM Stirmi. He's huge but a giant baby. He hides behind his hide for a day every single time I have to refill his water dish 😂 he's big but a scaredy cat and it's adorable. They're a wonderful species and always hungry lol
That is one beautiful tarantula, great enclosure. great job hun😉
Omg congrats! I have a T Stirmi too and its a baby and its my first t and still going strong
Very nice enclosure
Wow for a Goliath this seems to be more on the docile end😎
How do you maintenance something like this?? And how often?? Please do a maintenance video with an air boreal Species and tank too I’m new to tarantula keeping and so interested and curious! Plus your one of thee best!
Love your new T, Kat!!!! I'm in the same boat as you- while I do love this species and think they are so cool, I just don't know if I am equipped enough to keep them as a pet. But maybe one day!!!
And also, a little tip for you- a general rule for potting cuttings in soil is to do so when the roots are at least 2 inches long☺ so i definitely think your pothos was good to go.
I would definitely love that big Tarantula Cribs enclosure. They're always out of stock on the large sliders too
I'm terrified of arachnids and yet I can't stop watching your channel. Been hooked since I saw your lil velvet spider vid. Low-key helps with my arachnaphobia ^-^
Was wondering when you'd get one of these bad bois :D
OMG I HAVE WANTED ONE FOR YEARS😍
Just seeing Mickey Bustos in the comments made my day on the behalf of the AC senate and AC FAM/fans we just want to say keep up the good work Mickey
It took me awhile to get to the theraphosa stirmi as well. However I now have two. of course they are not as large as yours but they are beautiful.
